Isn’t it so crazy how fast time flies? In just about a week, it’ll be 2 months since I have had my gastric sleeve surgery. I remember thinking about how much my life was going to change but I never imagined just how drastic the changes would be. It’s odd- when I look in the mirror, I still see my old-self, but when I put on my clothes they noticeably do not fit anymore. In just about 2 months, I am down a total of 53 pounds. I feel lighter both physically and mentally and the only regret I have right now is not getting this surgery done sooner in my life.
Just an FYI- I went down 3 pant sizes so far, and 1 shirt size.
It’s incredible how much my body has changed in just 2 months. I feel so full of energy, and it is so much easier for me to move around and exercise. I started going to the gym about 2 weeks ago (the 6-week post op mark) and it’s been a struggle. It’s so hard to get in enough protein and food and I have noticed that if I overdo it, I start to feel pretty faint. As far as food is concerned, I am primarily just eating protein right now, lots of chicken, and turkey. I still have yet to have any cravings and I can’t remember ever feeling hungry in the last 2 months.
One of the biggest improvements in my life has been the effect my surgery has had on my mental health. Seeing change and feeling change has filled me with an immense amount of hope and motivation. I feel so good about the future, and as little as that may sound to some- for me, it’s a big deal. There’s so much more I want to do with my life in many different aspects and this new clarity is allowing me the opportunity to realize that I CAN do so much more with my life. If theres ONE thing I learned in the last 7 months it is that “IT IS NEVER TOO LATE.”
