2nd year anniversary

Oct 10, 2012

 A lot has happened to me this year.   My weight has slowly been going down since I moved in with my mom.  Now I get exercise everyday by walking the dog and doing water exercise.  We don't walk fast or far (2 miles at most) but we do walk.  I left my husband in Florida for reasons not related to my surgery.  He did want me to get plastic surgery to remove the excess skin and tone up my body.  I was waiting till I lost 10 more pounds.  Without the stress of him and the cats, I can take care of myself.  My mom can use the help.  She is very active, but at 83 things are getting hard for her.  

Now my nutrition and other blood work is great based on my labs.  I have no food problems other than I still love sweets.  I can control the portions since the surgery.  I have Fibromyalgia, Bullous Pemphigoid and major arthritis and injuries to my low back.  With the weight loss, my cholestrol is normal.  Before surgery, I could barely walk with a rolator.  The pain medicine and spinal injections were not controlling the pain and I was so mentally out of it, I would have my husband take me shopping.   Now, I have 3.5 hours a day that I am really good.  

Next month, I will start shopping for a plastic surgeon.  This site will be very helpful in researching my options and what my expectations should be.   I used to be a size 3x.  Now I am a size 12.  I have lost over 100 lbs.
