Sometimes it is hard to think how much my life changed before & after gastric bypass surgical procedure. & weight loss is only a small part of it.
Definite, I have lost 130 pounds. I have gone from a size 24 to somewhere between an 8 & a ten. But , the largest changes have been on the inside.

If you have ever thought about having weight loss surgical procedure, you have probably wondered about those changes, & what they'd be like. Are all of them nice, or are some bad? How will you be different before & after gastric bypass surgical procedure?

Before I looked at myself as some kind of failure. I felt like being fat was a character flaw. After gastric bypass surgical procedure, I have discovered how to look past my weight & work on what is on the inside.
Before gastric bypass surgical procedure, I was one time often worn out to play with my kids. After, I have got the energy I need to keep up with them. In fact, I have got energy to spare for plenty of the things I seldom found time for before.
Before gastric bypass surgical procedure I was one time carefree about the things I ate. After, I must make definite I get all the vitamins, protein & liquids my body requires on a every day basis. I actually must think about what goes in to my mouth more now. But before, I was one time trying to keep things out so I could lose weight. After, I am constantly trying to get in to stay healthy.
Before, I could eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. But my appetite & cravings were more in control than I was one time. After gastric bypass surgical procedure, it is sometimes hard to find things I need to eat. My appetite is definitely not in control - sometimes it is hard to even find. My whole relationship with food has changed.

Before, I thought gastric bypass surgical procedure was "the simple way out." That I'd automatically be skinny if I did this. After, I have learned that the surgical procedure is a tool & the results I get depend on how I use it.
Before gastric bypass surgical procedure I had young-looking skin underneath my clothes. I may have had stretch marks, but my skin looked normal for my age. After, my skin looks like a cross between a melted candle & a deflated balloon. Of work, only myself & my husband ever see that. & I do look much better than before with clothes on.
Before, going out to eat with my relatives was a joy, part of the fabric of our lives. After gastric bypass surgical procedure, eating out became stressful & difficult. Nothing is worse than taking a look at a menu & seeing nothing that won't make you dump. Except, of work, for ordering something that will & getting sick. It puts a actual damper on everyone's meal.
Finally, before gastric bypass surgical procedure I was one time a ticking time bomb. Hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, any number of other health hazards were on my horizon due to my excess weight. Afterwards, I am much healthier & have drastically less risk of developing everything from hypertension to cancer.
