life is just so normal

[hopelesscase]

Well here i am 4 months post bypass and life is just so normal.
Im in normal sized clothes didnt even look in ann harveys or evans when i went shopping.
All my clothes that i am buying are pretty and i have bought them because they are nice not because they fit and will do.
Can eat normal food, enjoy what i eat without food controlling me. gone are the days of fancing something and eating like a pig until you have the thing you fancy becaus you arnt satisfied until you have it.
Enjoying exercise!!!!! never thought i would say that.
Dont get sweaty of out of breath doing anything. obviously need to work harder when exercising. lol
Taking my suppliments have just become routien and i dont even have to think about them they just seem to find there way to me.
And as a friend pointed out this morning im even becoming a little flirtatiouse. who me im a shy girl but she said i had even been touchy feely and he didnt seem to mind. (hes one of the single dads that accesses the group for children with disabilities i run)
so if any one is wondering how life will be not only post op but also loosing weight if mine is anything to go by it feels pretty good.

HC, I cant get over how much weight you have lost. Does your ticker include weight you lost pre op?

20 points off your BMI is incredible hope. Thats a whole slim person you've lost!

Hi sam yes my ticker includes 28lb that i lost on lipotrim and 8lb that i lost on liver shrinking.
i started my weight loss journey after falling in the shower and dislocating my shoulder. The one thought that went through my mind when i did it was if i hadnt of been so big would i have fallen and i decided that yes i probably would the second question was would i of done so much damage and i decided that no i wouldnt as i had kept hold of the shower door and my arm took my whole 20st 12lbs. Hence the dislocation and although it went back in its self i then had to endure 12 months physio (didnt object too much he was gourgouse) but still resulting in me having surgery 12months to the day of me doing it as i had inpingment and couldnt lift my arm and also a tear in the bicept.
I initially lost 2.5 stone on lipotrim and then a futher 7lb healthy eating but then platued for 3 months not shifting a lb despite starting swimming and aerobics several times a week. I went to see my Dr who refered me to the weight management clinic and when i got there was told the only thing they would do was a bypass. Upto that point surgery had never entered my head TBH i didnt really know that much about it. But with plenty of reserch and finding this fantastic site i do now.
Unfortunatly between june when i saw the consultant and november having the op i put a stone on but my dad was terminally ill and we spent a lot of time at the hospital(most unhealth places to eat).
So although i have lost 93lbs in total since my op i have lost 57lbs and just another 4lbs i will of officially lost a third of me. OMG

 

[I will get there one day!]

That's incredible. Well done you!
