I've been called a lot of things in my life but skinny has never been one of them. Today, at my real estate office, three women that I haven't seen since surgery proceeded to tell me how "skinny" I am. I find this commical because 1st of all I'm far from skinny and second of all, I will never be skinny. I think people tend to over-react a little. I just recently got under 200 pounds, I would say that's a long way from skinny but I know that my weightloss is starting to show. Noone from my office knows I had surgery so when they asked me what I've been doing I just told them I was watching what I was eating and exercising.
I am feeling so much better these days and I can honestly say that there's a big difference between the lapband and the bypass. Now, I am not saying that the band isn't a great tool for some, but in the three years I had it I was barely able to eat and enjoy food. Since my revision I am enjoying food that I haven't had in years. The other day I had 1/2 of a wrap and it didn't get stuck. I've been able to most anything with out any issues. I am also surprised at how little I eat yet I feel satisfied. I am finding myself getting hungry more often but I'm still eating very small portions. This is such a learning experience as well but I do think that having the band before helped prepare me for this new journey, does that make sense???
Well, off I go. I hope you are all well and your new year is off to a healthy start!!!
Warm regards,
Jenn
