7 Month anniversary yesterday!!

 

Well 7 months out. I am feeling fairly decently now, finally. Still a few problems but ya just deal with them one at a time. Tummy pain, nausea, dizzy, pain..pain.. opps did I mention that old friend pain ;o(  SO use to it that it is a normal every day thing for me anymore. Dr's can not figure out what the hell is wrong either. Going to yet another specialist in a few weeks again. Same ol things.......

Hay I will be -150 in 5 more pounds of loss. A  WOHOO moment again ;o) Plenty more to go though.... Saw some old friends yesterday that have not seen me since before my surgery. Now that was fun and very ego boosting in a very positive way. Well all except one of them. She treated me like I was lying about how much I have lost. She basically said I had maby lost 45 pounds not 145. But everyone else was very supportive and defiantly can see a major difference. How the hell can someone say only 45 when it is 145.  Well that is her problem obviously not mine. And I will just leave it at that.

Just wanted to share. I have not been posting much lately.

Congrats on your loss.  You are doing great.  What type of speacialist will you be seeing for your pain?  Do you get it just when you eat or is it constant?

Isn't that funny about some people.  I swear I don't know what goes through their heads.  I was down about 150 from my high and a lady at church comes up to me (not a friend, I might add) and says, oh, you look like you've dropped about 50 lbs.  In this case I wondered if it was a passive agressive way to get me to tell her my weight loss.  So I just smiled and said it was a bit more than that.  Maybe it's a way for people to minimize your success because they haven't been successful themselves.  Kinda crazy.

Well I think you are doing great!

It sounds like you are doing well - except for the pain, of course. Sometimes I wonder just how much junk/toxins we have wrapped up & stored away in our fat. This is by no means a scientific theory (that I'm aware of), but I do believe that was the fat breaks down and those substances are released, our bodies go through weird stuff. Look at the estrogen thing - periods starting again for those of us who had hoped we were done with that (moi). I think my migraines have also changed too.

Hopefully, your body will eventually "quiet" down. Thanks for the update.

Hugs,

Patty
