Well alot has changed since the last time I wrote. I had my Gastric By-Pass, which was nothing like I thought it would be. I had no pain after surgery, except for my regular back pain. The doctor didn't even have to give me pain pills to take home when I left the hospital. I was up and walking the day after surgery, that's the kicker you have to walk a mile (or 30 laps) in one day before you can go home.  Not all at one time just in a 12 hour period. I really liked the hospital where I had surgery, because they have private rooms which was really nice. My Doctor (Dr. Blaney) he is the best doctor I have ever met. If you live in this area and you are thinking  about surgery it is worth checking him out. He really cares about his patients, he's not one of the's surgeon's who do surgery then say okay your good to go call me if you need me again. He follows up with you and keeps up with your progress making sure you are doing what you need to be doing.
Well since surgery I have lost 54 lbs, but since I have started this process in November I have lost 74 lbs. So Either way I have lost a ton of weight. I went through and gave away a lot of my clothes, but I have to go through it again to get rid of more. lol. I don't have any shorts to wear, but I really don't want to buy any either, because I know they wont fit for long. Is that bad?
    Bad news is I am starting to lose my hair, but the nutrietionist said it will fall out for 3 months then go back to normal. Luckly I have very thick hair and if you didn't know it you would not know I was losing hair. I guess it saving me money by not having to go get it thined like I normally do lol.
Gotta go pay bills hope all's well with everyone. Will try to write more ofter.
