One month out. Down 46 pounds.

A big WOW moment for me!!

I had a big "WOW" moment yesterday when I went shopping for a new outfit to wear to work tomorrow. I used to wear a size 26/28 pants/shirts. Today I was able to fit into a size 20 with room to spare!!! This is only six weeks after surgery! Yeah for me!

One Month Follow-up

Today was my one month follow-up. What a great surprise. I no longer have to take my diabetes medications. My fasting blood sugar is 107. I no longer have to take my blood pressure medications. My blood pressure has been very good. No more cholesterol medications. My cholesterol was 156. I do still, however, have to take my Prozac!! I'm officially down 43 pounds (since my starting weight).

My clothes are getting really baggy and big, but I'm not quite ready to buy new clothes. I'm going to wait until I drop a couple of sizes. I guess I will officially look sloppy for a bit.

I can now eat a regular diet. Sounds easy, but it is not. This is the time where I will find out what agrees with my pouch and what doesn't. So far everything has been good. I have been fortunate enough not to experience "dumping syndrome" yet.

That is all that is going on in my world at the moment.
