I'm the turtle... I'm the turtle, I'M THE DAMNED TURTLE

May 13, 2013

So, I'm pretty much staring at maintenance. I'm 1.2 pounds away from goal, but I'm starting to slow down beyond slow. I'm fine with that because I don't want to lose too much more at this point. I want to visit with a plastics guy and find out what I'm dealing with there. I still REALLY want to just SEE 150 or lower on the scale, but right now I have other things going on in my life so I'm just going to take what comes for a while.

The pain management guy put me on the pain patch so I can reduce the hydrocodone. Thank goodness. It works okay so far, I managed to not take any drugs (or really need them) until around 5pm. AND I can DRIVE on the patch. One of the side effects can be weight gain and I'm going to do my best to not let that screw with my head if it happens.

I was really very sick when I was supposed to meet with my spinal surgeon (AND the plastics guy) so they both have been rescheduled. The plastics is next week (thinking of starting plastics NEXT Summer). And the neuro guy next MONTH. I'm hoping he has a cancelation and can see me earlier so we can figure this out.

Mentally, I haven't had a fat day in over a week. Feeling pretty good about myself, in that respect :)

So, yeah. I'm doing great. I'll hit goal one of these days, but ya know... I'm pretty much already there.
Starting weight = 375
Surgery Weight = 355
Surgeon's Goal = 250
My original Goal = 175
My current Goal = 150
Current Weight = 151.2

So yeah... I've nearly lost TWO-HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE pounds, people. What the hell?

This was me yesterday, on Mother's Day. Totally different than it was 2 years ago!
