6 Months Out!

Jul 03, 2009

I am SO happy I made it to 6 months!!  I feel GREAT!!!  It is funny to look back on some of the blogs from right after surgery, I really was not sure I made the right decision until about 2 or 3 months ago..NOW, I KNOW I made the right choice!  It was a rough start, but worth it now.  I had my 6 months post op visit to the surgeon and all my labs are in normal limits, which surprised me since I was deficient in Vit D before..I guess all with all that we are doing outside these days has paid off too:)  SO as of Monday I am down 91#!  I just returned from a trip with the kids, we visited my Dad in Illinois and he took us to Six Flags in Missouri..It is like Valley Fair...I had NO trouble walking ALL day in the HIGH HEAT and humidity up the hills and all..I really felt good!  I was thinking on how on earth I would have been able to make it through and keep up if I still had 91 extra #s on me, I think I would have pooped out early for SURE!!!  Everyone is right, this is a wild ride!!  I have started talking to old friends I haven't talked to in years because I did not want them to see me as a big person..It is sad, but that is how I felt..I am getting out of the house and we are doing so much stuff as a family, I am SO happy!  My family is happy I join then for all the fun stuff now too!!  I am just completely amazed at how WONDERFUL I feel!  I really was SO used to feeling so crappy before that I had forgot how this feels, to have energy and be able to move and keep up with everyone else:)  I will try to post another pic of 6 months, not much different than 5 months, but hey:)  I hope everyone is doing well!!  I appreciate all of you for all your help!!!!  Take Care!!!!
