Hi, thought I would update my post here as it has been a month post op, and I am doing great. I have lost about 14 pounds since my surgery and 19 inches overall. Total weight loss so far has been about 44 pounds. I am finally getting back into my exercise routine with video's on Youtube.
The only thing I have noticed after the surgery is that my sense of taste is not the same. I had to give up drinking the Adkins Strawberry Protein shake as I couldn't stand the taste of it. Otherwise, most foods or liquids I have tried have not been too bad. I think of it as if you don't like the taste, it isn't good for you LOL. JK
The only thing I would say is that physically I am doing well, but my hormones are crazy. I do get very depressed on some days, but talking to people about my thoughts and feelings has helped a lot, whether it be a friend, family member, or the doctors.
I hope that whoever reads this will feel encouraged to keep doing what you are doing through the program, and stay positive. The one thing I have learned is that people will have their opinions, but don't let the negativity out way the positive. You are doing this for yourself and no one else.
Thank you very much for the detailed response on how things went for you. Congratulations on your life changes and hope you the best. Which campus did you go through?
