Thursday Thirteen #41

Today is my three year "surgiversary." I had Roux en Y gastric bypass surgery on December 13, 2004.

Thirteen Facts About My Gastric Bypass Surgery

1. I lost about 200 lbs in the eighteen months following my surgery.
2. I went from a size 26 to a size 4.
3. I maintained that weight for over a year.
4. I'm now up about 20 lbs from there (size 8ish).
5. I'm blaming the weight gain on the hormones I've been taking.
6. And unlimited amounts of chocolate candy at work.
7. Many people have food intolerances after surgery, but I can eat just about anything.
8. That is not necessarily a good thing.
9. I can generally fill up on about 1/2 cup of food.
10. But I do get hungry again within a couple of hours
11. So, I eat several small meals a day.
12. I feel 1000% better than I did before my surgery.
13. Second only to being with Shrike, it's the best decision I've ever made.
