A month ago, I let a doctor rearrange my innards so I could lose weight once and for all. It’s been a roller coaster ride of sorts, an experiment on the grandest of scales. I’m still learning my new stomach’s limits, not just with volume, but types of food. I haven’t always done well with this venture, but I’m learning.
As of today, I’ve lost 23 pounds. I lost 20 rather quickly, plateaued, then started losing again this week. Even with the plateau, the weight loss has taken me down a size and I can look in the mirror and see results.
My plan is to go back to the gym next week for cardio and as soon as the doctor releases me, I will call my trainer and let her whip me into gear. I know once I’m back at the gym I will lose weight even faster. Sometimes I can’t believe it’s actually happening, but it is.
I’m still waiting for all the supposed “energy” to arrive. I am still on Tamoxifen, so maybe that’s what the holdup is. I do, however, feel better than I have in a long time. A long, long, long time. I will try to remain patient and diligent and when the energy does come I will put it to good use!
In the meantime, I’m eating tiny meals, taking my vitamins, and taking care of myself!

I’m so excited to watch you in this journey! The energy *will* come, especially when you start working out and being able to eat more foods, etc. Go YOU!!!
Congrats on the loss! And keep up the good work. I had RNY March 6th 2013 and am right there with you relearning what I can and cannot eat. Sometimes it’s a nightmare but every now and then you find something you love. 🙂
