Thank You
Such kind and positive comments...Thank you all.
It's been an amazing journey and knowing I got less than two stone to go makes me want to cry everytime I think about it and look at myself in the mirror.
I'm walking round in leggings, tight tops and high heels which I never thought possible.
I think I have lost the weight exceptionally fast, far quicker than I anticipated even. My head hasn't quite caught up with the fact that this is really me and have to do a reality check that I can walk into any shop I like and find clothes to fit.
No real secret as to why the weight is coming off so steady. Food wise, a typical day is this:
Boiled Egg or Omelette for breakfast (although sometimes I'm naughty and skip breakfast)
In a hurry I'll grab a Dairylea Lunchable crackers, ham and cheese. Or a fillet of salmon with a little mash potato.
Evening meal I may have some chilli con carne or shepherds pie and a yoghurt.
Don't have ANY Bread, Pasta or Rice and have not even dared to try anything sweet or naughty. I don't think I'm a dumper but haven't pushed it to find out.
Sounds like a lot but portion wise is still very small, my new fella reckons I'm a cheap date cause we went out for dinner and my "meal" came to £3.50 lol.
Sometimes I'm sick, but it's now every couple of weeks as opposed to every other day. I know when to stop now and what foods work.
Exercise...I never thought I'd become a fitness junkie, but my weekly routine is 2 hours in the gym three times a week, and a dance class thrown in too. I love it...I love jogging, cycling, dancing...because I can. I'm so determined and looking at my ass shrinking each time I look in the mirrors in the gym makes it all worth it.
Inches wise I've lost from my Arms, Bust, Waist, Hips, Thighs a total of Four and a Half Foot! Which the gym has definitely helped.
As for the new fella, well he's the best looking Squaddie the British Army has to offer as far as I'm concerned.
This time last year I was being assaulted by my waster of an ex husband, down-trodden and bullied, my bypass has given me ooodles of confidence and I now stand proud with my head held high and know that no one will ever make me feel like that again.
I know I sound like an advertisement for Gastric Bypasses and Soldiers...but both have changed my life for the better.
Keep at it ladies (and Gents), post-op or pre-op stick with it, it's a tough ride but so worth it!
I'm not the same person I was...I've got my life back:
