Oct 23, 2007
It's been a crazy few months. August and September were a blur... suddenly it's October and I'm floored.
My surgery anniversary came and went without any form of fanfare or celebration. It snuck up on me. I attended my 12 month appt a few weeks after the official surgery date and things looked pretty good. Though my B12 came in lower than we'd like. I need to work on making sure my vitamins are a priority and get that water in each and every day! I also need to get exercising more.
I like the way my body is starting to look WITH clothes on, but OMG... the flabby saggy thing going on when I look at myself in the mirror is less than attractive. I hope to have plastic surgery in the future... but this will have to wait until after we have children.
I turned another year older recently and while I've never had a problem with my age, this one felt different. I think it's mostly about not having kids yet and being 38. My infertility hasn't been in my control but I would have preferred to be able to work on this sooner than I am now. My weight certainly delayed tackling this problem.
I've not been much of a drinker during the last few years, only enjoying an occasional glass of wine or something. But the last few months I've been in more social situations and the majority of them included alcohol.
Obviously, having had the surgery, alcohol is NOT the best thing to drink. The calories, the fact you become drunk so quickly and the terrible way you feel the next day.
If I'm going to have more than one, I normally try to have a glass or two of water in between having the next. There were a few times this didn't happen and I was feeling like I could drink like I did years ago. Other than having surgery, I'm also not able to snap back like I did when I was younger. Bleh! Alcohol is bad and not for me.
I'm hoping to lose another 65 lbs by the time my 18 month anniversary arrives. I've lost about 10 lbs since my 12 month appt so barring any welcomed pregnancy... I think this can be done. Especially if I stay on track with the protein, add'l exercise, water, vitamins, etc...
