One Year !!!! Yeah Me....Still slowly shrinking

Dec 10, 2010

And I do mean slowly,,, but that is ok,,, as long as I keep shrinking a bit more !! LOL

As a revision, we sometimes loose more slowly,, but I can deal with that..LOL

I did miss my day  so I am a little late posting, but It has been a  very busy time , people are very stressed and keep having heart attacks !!!  PEOPLE enjoy the holidays, RELAX !!!  lol

I like my job in cardiovascular,  but like to enjoy the season too...anyway

I started out pre surgery at 248 by Dr Stewarts scales, but I started with him few months before at 253..

Today I am at 168...Ummm YEAH !!!  I had only lost 38 pounds in 5 years with the crap band,,,so I will take it !

I have gone from wearing a 3x  26/28 in pants and tops to a L in pants or size 14 and L or XL still in tops. I get lost on sizes as I do not know for sure what to get and by which company who makes the clothes,, After the panic attack JCP and the poor saleswoman gently escorting me to the petties section telling me I did not belong in the women's any more,,,, I was LOST !!! LOL

!. My A1c stays in the 4.5 range, glucose is in the 80's
2. cholesterol is 150
3. I do not get fatigued but rarely,, 
I can stand and do my job for the12 to 16 hrs if need
4. I have not had a migraine in a looooong time
5. Nor have I had breathing or asthma troubles
6. I sleep better but also don't seem to need as much sleep to feel rested
7 I found my knees !! and guess what ?  THEY CAN CROSS !!!!
8. I think my feet have shrunk too,, shoes seem too big,
9. Took a looong flight to Norway and did not feel like I took the whole seat row..
    that plane was packed too, for 18 hrs...Then got to walk all over the place and still felt good!!
10. the seat belt fit too !! NO EXTENDERS !!
11. I can get down on the floor with the grand kids and still get up and not grunt,,, I can walk up my stairs and not be out of breath.

Now the down side,,,, I am told by my 4 yr old granddaughter in sign language  Nana   has bat wings and she flew  to  Norway......Looks so darn cute have to laugh !!!!

I started out with terrible lap band, and it caused a huge rock mass in the stomach and esophagus, so either way it had to be removed,,, this DS has been a godsend !!  it saved my life in many ways...

I am blessed to have found this site, and  learned sooo much form all the reading and the all the wonderful vets and those who went before me !!!!

These are very wise and wonderful people and  such a back bone when in need !!!
I too have had bumps and rocks to clear in my journey, and  worked thru it, survived the pneumonia and what seemed unending fatigued in the beginning,, but it has all been WORTH it !!!


I do have pict of before and now,  in my profile, only one now, my other computer is on blitz and it has all my pictures on it, did managed to find one current one ! LOL 

The blue uniform one is the pre one and the light red hair one, ( notice I lost alot of hair? LOL) is the latest one !!!

Maybe some one better on coping my picts can get them in the thread,,,

Thanks again  all !!!   I DO LOVE MY DS !!!!
