Things are going so great for me. Next week will be six month's since duodenal switch surgery. It is hard to believe that it has been six short months. I feel like a new person and sometimes it is hard to imagine life before surgery. I have so much more energy and can do so much more than I did before. It is difficult for me to stay home anymore because I want to be out there doing things.
I am struggling with buying clothes. I have tried not to buy a ton of new clothes because I go down sizes so quickly. My husband says that most of my clothes are way too big. I actually am excited for fall. I am looking forward to going through my closets and seeing what I can wear and what needs to be donated. I look in the mirror and still see the old me. I look at clothes and think there is no way it will fit me. Then I put it on and it is too big. I am sure there are worse problems to have in life.
My six month post-op appointment is next week. I got my labs back and they were all good except for vitamins A and D. I have to increase those vitamins. I have lost a total of 131 pounds. It is hard to put into words what having this surgery has meant for me. It has given me the ability to take my life back. I realize now that I was not living before. I was existing, but not enjoying life. It is almost like I am seeing things through a new set of eyes. It is truly amazing!
I will post more after my appointment next week. Thanks to everyone for reading this blog and following along on my journey. I appreciate it more than you know.
