As many of you know I had bariatric surgery on New Years Day of this year. My starting weight was 257. A lot of people will say you take the easy way out when you have this surgery. Let me tell you the last six months has not been easy. Liquid diet for 3 weeks after surgery. It sucked, but you really dont want anything anyway. The most I can eat at one time is a quarter cup of food. If I go over that just a little bit its an excruciating pain for about 30 minutes. I have gone through a time where I was losing my hair. Its really easy to get vitamin deficiencies. Not to mention no more pigging out at holidays or barbecues. I became lactose intolerant after my surgery and everyone knows how much I loved my milk. I will never get to enjoy a cheeseburger again. So this is definitely not the easy way out. Here I am today six months post op and I now weigh 156 pounds. Its been a hard journey, but I dont regret a minute of it. I am back to my old self; swimming, camping, going out. My high blood pressure is totally gone and I love who Ive become.
