Almost 3 months out

Things have improved greatly since my last visit to the surgeon's office. I am now officially able to keep my food down unless I eat too fast. I can generally tell if I'm eating to fast because it is very uncomfortable almost painful after swallowing. One more hurdle that I have cleared.

My weight is down 57 lbs. Which doesn't sound like a lot but feels like a lot. I have burned through clothes like you wouldn't believe. There are days that I wake up and worry that I won't have anything that fits to wear to work. Everything is big, too big to wear. It's a good problem to have but it's still hard to handle at the same time.

Now my newest experience is with people that haven't seen in me in a long time that barely recognize me. That feels good. That makes it feel real to me.

I go back to the surgeon at the end of July. From what I have heard I will be counting calories in addition to protein.

The surgery feels like a success.
