Here I am 46 lbs. down and a month after I was suppose to have surgery. One of the deciding factors for me was my extreme food
allergies, mainly all dairy products, flour, eggs, and sugar. I am very allergic to whey protein so could not have gotten in all the protein You need after surgery.
I had my first wow shopping trip last week when I purchase 3 pair of designer jeans in a size 16. I tried on a dozen pair before I would believe I actually only wore a 16. Even though I am 5'8" I find I wear a petite average, so they fit perfect. To top it off bought my first belt and when I wore it it did not roll. I have packed off 2 big boxes of 2x-4x clothing and have several more to go.
I use the small meals, chewing well, drinking between and not at meals, small dishes and small forks. I need to limit my calories a lot.
My B/P and B/S are almost perfect with a lot less medicines than I was taking before.
I hope I can help encourage any of you who also find that you are not able to have the WLS for any reason. Please feel free to write me and I will write back. There is hope for all of us. Sugamom
