Aug 29, 2012

It's been forever since I posted anything on here.  I don't know why Im doing it now but I feel that you may want to know what life can be like after surgery....

May 30, 2012 My 5 year post opt. anniversary

Today is August 29th, 2012 and I am excited that I am about to have 5 days in a row off from work.  Woohoo!!! 

I have decided that after Labor day I MUST do something to work on my weight. 

Yes thats right!  I am having to diet again! 

My weight is back to 166 and I've gone from a size 8 back up to a 16!  The thoughts of being in anything larger scares me again...  I was so blessed to have this surgery and to think I just felt like I didn't need to do anything!  Well thats not true!  It has finally sunk in to me that Gastric Bypass Surgery is a awesome tool for those of us who have alot of health issues due to a eating disease!  Yes I have that disease and I still do.  Over the past couple of years I had quit my vitamins thinking I don't need them anymore....  how wrong was that!!!   Well now I have low vitamin D and I believe now that because I crave eating ice that my iron level may be low.  I have been lazy!  My job is fairly easy and I don't do anything that requires excersise.  I am blessed with a husband who does by far most of our house work because he has been unemployed due to losing his job after a knee problem.  I do not excersise at all.  I have made the first step after 3 years by calling my surgin for a followup because I on an off have a pain on the side of my stomach that bothers me and I just want to get it checked out.  I've also made an appointment with his nurtirionist AMBER...  Im so glad she is still there.  She said she would do something for the first 3 weeks to help me get started...   We shall see...  Anyway...

Im starting my blogging all over again.  My appointment with Dr. Fuzz and Amber is September 20, 2012.  Wish me luck because I am so embarrassed to let them see what I have let happened to me.  And to think I felt so awesome and now Im feeling tired all the time.  Sometimes even depressed!
