9 weeks ago I went over the border and had a sexy Mexican Surgeon remove 85% of my stomach, leaving me with a tiny tummy. Since I have been on solid foods again, my tummy has been sensitive, but great overall. I write down what I eat everyday, but basically I eat Protein first, Vegetables second and Carbs last.
I keep my carbs under 20 per day 3 days a week. I take an antacid pill with my morning Protein shake and I'm good for the day. I keep away from spicy foods, which is a 180 degree turn for me. As of today:
I have lost 3 dress sizes and have been forced to start buying clothes to wear. I have been going to thrift stores, shopping on Ebay and online for cheap deals. 9 weeks ago I was wearing a size 3X T-shirt.
I have exactly 100 pounds to lose to reach my goal of 145 lbs. The way I look at it is, I am focusing on reaching 239. I eat a couple bits of something yummy and then see how it feels. I can only take about 4 bites of anything and I'm done. I do feel better all day after I have eaten meat these days. The best part about this is, I DON'T THINK ABOUT FOOD ALL THE TIME LIKE I DID BEFORE. I don't deprive myself anything at all, so I don't long for "Forbidden Foods." I eat what makes my tummy feel good.
I know it's only 9 weeks in, and I hear the stories of other people who go through long plateaus and struggle. Compared to a lifetime of struggling, I am feeling awesome and this is way easier than I thought it would be. Right now I am really getting smaller and people who haven't seen me in awhile see a difference in my size. I AM HAPPY.
I'm noticing that I am doing other things I haven't done in years. I am wearing jewelry and putting on eye make-up when I go out. I HAVEN'T DONE THAT IN LIKE - FOREVER. I hadn't bought something new to wear in a very, very long time because shopping when you are fat and broke is not a positive experience. This is giving me a new lease on life in ways I didn't expect. I AM BEGINNING TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL.
I have been trying to figure out what my new look will be. I am finding myself drawn to black leather more and more. : ) We will see what I end up looking like. I am very happy with this success so far. The only regret I have is not doing this surgery sooner.

I weigh 245 lbs. 36 pounds gone!
I have lost 17 ¼ inches total.
THAT'S 3 DRESS SIZES SMALLER FOLKS!

I PHYSICALLY, LITERALLY CAN'T OVEREAT.
That is as easy as it gets!
