Wow....It has already been 4 years since my surgery and my life has changed so much.  I thank god I had this surgery.  I really do.  I truly believe that if I didn't have WLS I would still be living but I would be living miserably.  I now have energy. I Love Life.  I enjoy things. I'm not going to die young....atleast I'm not going to die young from obesity issues.  I love shopping....I look good in anything I put on.  I swap clothes with my 16 yr old daughter!!!  I enjoy sex!!  that's the best of all ... lol...and ya know what...after 4 years after my surgery...i still enjoy it with the same man...MY HUSBAND!!!  I'm not one of them that have divorced.  I'm still married.  Color me happy :) and color my children happy too! 

 

1 month from my sugiverssary.  Wow does time fly.  I never thought I would get here.  I have lost over 90lbs.  Went from a size 22 jeans to an 8.  Feel so good.  Starting to feel a little more tired lately but I think it is because I am not getting the exercise that I should be getting.  Need to find more time to exercise.  This surgery has been the best thing that I have ever done for myself.  I am so much healther.  My blood pressure is PERFECT, liver functions are PERFECT and life is good. 

Had a family party last weekend and got so many compliments on how great I looked.  Made me so happy.  I was going out with the girls last night and my husband said I was too HOT to go out without him.  I laughed.  I am so proud of myself.  I tried on a size 12 bathing suit yesterday.  It was a little tight in the chest area..but the rest fit.  I couldn't believe it.  A size 12, last year at this time I was in a size 22 suit.  WOW! 

I can't believe it has been over 5 months since my surgery.  I am doing very well.  Feeling great.  I have lost 70lbs  or so.  Working out and walking.  I have so much more energy.  Can't sit still.  Still haven't told family members that I had the surgery..that's a long story.  My husband is very proud of me.  I can eat pretty much anything I want.  Haven't dumped at all.  Came close a few times..but..didn't happen.  Life is so much better now.  I went from a size 20 or 22 now down to a 14 and that is big on me.  WOW...surprises me when I see myself in the mirror.  Never thought that I would be so successful.  I have about 40 more lbs to go to reach goal.  The one thing that I can't stand is the extra skin.  Batwings suck.  I will never beable to go sleaveless.  Oh well. 

I can't believe it has been over a month since my surgery.  I am feeling good.  Lost 27lbs so far. I don't feel any different.  I don't see any changes either but my pants are starting to get very loose and my wedding bands too so I know something is happening.  I have a lot of energy.  I go to bed at a decent hour and get up early.  I get more done in my day than I ever got done before.  I can't wait to start feeling and seeing a difference though.  I went to my personal physician last week and she took me off of my htn meds.  My bp was very low.  I was pretty happy about that.  

It is not easy though.  This is one of the hardest things that I have ever done.  Christmas day we had fish, broccoli and a pasta dish.  I didn't over eat.  I had a couple of bites of fish and a little broccoli.  I felt sick to my stomach and had the dreaded "foamies"  My husband said he thinks that I ate too fast.  I don't know but I will never do it again.  I didn't like that feeling.  It really sucked.

I miss the foods that I used to beable to have.  Especially around the holidays.  But I know this is a better life-style for me.  I know I will succeed. 

Had the first part of the thallium stress test on 10/22/08.  Boy was I nervous.  With my family history, weight and history of smoking..I have a reason to be nervous.  I did it though.  I was able to walk the whole time and even had to jog a little at the end.  Got my hr up to where it needed to be and did OK.. No chest pain.  YEAH. 

Had the second part today.  Hopefully everyhing is negative.  They should have the results tomorrow.

My appt w/ person md isn't till the 31st.  Just may have to call early and get resuts.

Then have to do psych eval.  I am not really nervous about that.  I don't think that I have anything to worry about.

Insurance has already approved so I will see the surgeon on Tuesday and go from there....getting a little nervous..hoping that I am doing the right thing...
