2 months, 1 week and 1 day post-op

Today is 2 months, 1 week and 1 day post-op.  I know I haven't posted in a while but with the fire chaos, changing jobs and well, everyday life, things have been a little hectic.  So what is new?  Well, I started working out at the gym again yesterday and it felt AMAZING!  I weighed myself this morning and I am down 63 lbs!  As a reward to hitting the 60 lb mark, I went to Show Low with a girlfriend of mine and bought myself a garnet and diamond accent bracelet, bought 2 new shirts and got a pedicure.  The bracelet was a treat because 2 months ago, I know it would never have fit my wrist!  The only major issues I have encountered are primarily my fault.  I tried to eat a little ice cream and it made me terribly sick.  It was less than 1/4 cup worth.  I felt like I had been punched in the stomach, my head hurt, I got cold sweats and I wanted to throw up all at once.  This lasted about 30 minutes and was absolutely NOT worth the 5 minutes I spent eating the ice cream!  I hope I never make that mistake again.  The other issues are primarily from either not chewing my food enough or eating something that my body has a hard time digesting, both resulting in food getting "stuck" and my immediate regurgitation.  I have found chicken to be one of the strongest repeat offenders, so now I pretty much try not to eat it.  I quit eating both pork and beef 6 months before the surgery which I am glad for now as I can only imagine the trouble they would give me.  All in all though, I feel great!  I am so glad for the chance to have gotten this surgery.  I am so lucky that it was covered 100%!  My life is changing so much and I love every bit of it!
