Support Group

Tonight I went to my first weight loss surgery support group. The doctors that I go to hold a support group once a month with tips on being successful on their journey. I was a little nervous at first but it got better as the meeting went on.

There were a lot of people there (about 45) with the majority being gastric bypass or RNY. There were a few bandsters... but we were outnumbered. I liked hearing the experiences that people have had with their weight loss. It's good to get different perspectives and experiences but it's also important to remember that everyone's journey is different.

So far mine has been awesome...and i'm very pleased about that :)

Post-Op Appointment

The appointment with my doctor went great. I've lost 34 lbs since November 3rd. The doctor is happy with my progress :) I will be going in next friday to get a fill, I'm looking forward to the fill but am not looking forward to the 48 hours of fluids only after the fill. I was really looking forward to being able to go out with my friends and boyfriend for my birthday. Oh well...I'm sure I will find a tasty soup to indulge in.

I've had a lot of changes in my clothes... pants are too big, I need suspenders for my undies, and my shoes are too big. But I'm not complaining... a little annoyed that I need to go shopping but I reckon I have no choice if I want to be dressed when I lieave the house.
