small changes....




Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I last checked in. I have had a rough few months with my mother being ill and most recently my father in-law. It has been stressful to say the least. As for me, well I'm doing okay. My weightloss has been extremely slow but my body has really changed and my clothes are definitely getting very loose. When I see people that I haven't seen since surgery they say that I've lost a "ton" of weight. It's weird because I really haven't lost that much but as I said I sure look like I have.

Anyway, I am adjusting very well to life after gastric bypass. Sometimes I don't feel like I had the surgery at all. I mean I do eat a lot less but I tolerate most foods without issues. I even had some steak over the weekend and it was awesome!! When I had the band I struggled with most foods especially chicken. I don't think I dump but I think I've come close a few times so I am careful with my sugar intake just in case.

My biggest problem is eating enough protein. I have been so consumed with my mother being ill that I have kind of neglected myself. I am working on it but it hasn't been easy.

So that about sums up my life these days. I will write and post more photos soon!! I hope you are all happy and healthy!!!
