My Birthday Surprize!!
For my birthday, I bought myself a new pair of jeans...in size 16! I was a size 22 jeans in August when I had the surgery.
I think my weight loss has been slower than many which sometimes gets me down...but a lot of that I think is due to my body's reaction to how sick I got with the stricture and the nausea and its holding on to some weight to make sure I'm not still sick or something. (after opening up the stricutre 4 1/2 weeks ago, I have only lost about 2 lbs...and I can't eat much...so its kind of bewildering)
Now I am in a size 16 jeans...and don't think I have been there since my 20's.
Also I am eating pretty much anything I choose in small portions...with no real adverse reactions thus far (since the stricture was opened).. So, I hesitantly can say I think I'm over the complication hump.
Yay!
