1 year surgiversary

Jul 15, 2010

Next Tuesday marks my 1 year surgiversary.  Thankfully the last year has been uneventful as far as health drama is concerned.  I never made it to my 100 loss mark...but I am very pleased that I have lost 83 lbs.  I feel much more normal sized.  My hubby on the other hand has taken an amusing twist to  my weight loss.  Before...HE LIKED ME JUST THE WAY I WAS...now that I have lost all the weight...he makes many suggestions on how I can lose another 20 lbs...I think secretly he may have been hoping for me to lose 100 lbs.  lol....anyways...my hair continues to fall out.  I still have difficulty eating sticky things...like..tortilla, bread, noodles, or anything starchy so I just avoid them to avoid the stomach problems.  Every once in awhile I will find myself fondly yearning for the day that I could sit down and gorge on a whopper, fries and a coke...these days...i do good if I can eat a couple bites of a burger and Im done.  I have ALOT of saggy baggy skin ...my kids get grossed out when they see it but I remind them HEY THAT IS MY TROPHY...lol...and that is exactly how I feel...the flab doesnt really concern me...the only thing that DOES concern me is I never did get back my original level of energy  BUT...BUT ...BUT...I am also in full blown menopause so that could be a major contributor to my lethargy.  I plan to see a doctor soon to investigate identical hormone replacement therapy and see if I can improve things.  The other day I was kidding around with my 9 year old son...I told him...I bet I can get your pants on..he say no wayyyy...I said let me have em...so he turned his back and I wiggled those suckers up a little past my knees..lol...I would have never guessed in a million years that would ever happen...Every day when I get dressed...I look at the little ass on the pants that I am about to put on and still my brain says..those are too small for you...but I slide right into them and they are even a bit baggy...I guess it takes awhile for the brain to catch up to reality...lol
