6 days out

This was def less painful then a c-section. I am having a hard time with the food part. I am a very picky eater and cant seem to get all the protein down they want me too. Ofcourse I dont feel like I have lost any weight yet, I am still too swollen from the surgery. I wonder when I will start noticing. I am so glad its over with!

Scared
on May 15, 2008 6:08 am
ok, I am getting a little scared. My surgery is on the 27th. Its has been so long since I have been to any type of class seeing as they kept pushing my surgery date back. I feel lost. I need to re-read my MUSC book. I have two co-workers that have had the surgery done. One did great the other had to be cut open and has had a few issues. This worries me.

My Story






Hello! I my name is Christina but, I perferred to be called "Chrissy".

I am 28 I have been married 4 yrs and have two boys. I have had a weight issue all my life. I have tried everything. Extensive exercise, jenny craig, weight watchers, metabolic weight loss center, phentermine (which actually worked) but I cant take it with other medications. 
I am doing this for myself. But also for my boys. My 7 yr old thinks I cant run because he has never seen me. "Santa" got him a trampoline for xmas but, I cant jump on it because of the weight limit. My knees hurt. I dont want anything to  hold me back in life, its too short. 
My husband is completely against this, so I am not getting much support from him. But, he has had alot of losses in his life and he is afraid he might lose me. 
I always tell him POSITIVE! THINK POSITIVE!
I love life, I love dancing, shagging in particular. I love oldies music. My friends often tell me I am an old soul. Prob do to the fact my parents are in there 70's and I am only 28. I like going to cookouts and festivals with crafts and such, hence shopping. I enjoy making lemonade for the stand my son always wants to put up in our front yard. I love taking my kids to the park and for play dates. I AM THE CRAZY MOM IN THE STANDS! at baseball and soccer games.
