Changes

[funky24]

Well im 2 days off 8 weeks post op and i just cant believe the changes in my energy, im still a big girl and have a lot of hard work ahead of me but iv been so much more active, doing 6 mile walks, and today went to a big country park and was going through the woods climbing stuff and up hills, i was tired by the end of it but i did it ! Im noticing little changes in my clothes and look in the mirror and i THINK i can notice my frame (shoulders etc) changing. I have to be patient cos i want my belly to shrink ! NOW! lol Think im making the right food choices....i study every label lol i get stuck every now n then but hey im only human after all lol my mum and dad (even though dad doesnt really show it much) are so proud already i can just tell...and although my dad is very poorly now and cant walk far we have found a park that he can hire a scooter so we went there today, and you have to work together and read the map etc, which me and dad done, its helping our relationship immensely (which although i love him to bits, hasnt always been the easiest relationship) ! I am only young at 25, and i am only 8 weeks out but i can honestly say.....my bypass is the best thing iv ever done for my self !! Now bring on summer and the size 16s pleaseee lol xx much love to you all xx

Lovely post x

Since my op my emotional health has come on leaps and bounds and despite still having stones and stones to go I'm finding myself doing stuff I wouldn't have yet if I was losing weight via SW or WW. I just want to grab life with both hands!!
