Just a quick update!

Jan 20, 2010

Hey all - I'm still alive! I've been slacking on OH, but I wanted to try and update OH here for anyone who's onwdering about me. :)

Hope everyone had a nice holiday! We had a really nice one - lots of special gifts were given to us through a charity program. I hate that we needed the help, but we needed help. I'm not ashamed to admit it. It just sucks that we weren't able to do more.

My daughter turned 3 in November and I turned 33 in December..  hard to believe the time has gone so fast!! I'm nearing my 2 year post op mark. I don't know if he'll test everthing for me, but if not I'll have my primary check things out for me.

I just had back surgery last week (1.11) on my low back. I had a herniated disc that was causing a ton of pain and leg pain. I still have it, but it's because of the swelling inside. Of course, we RNYers are not allowed NSAIDs so that makes it a bit longer to deal with. He did give me 2 steroid injections to help, but I had werd side effects from it.

I'm on my road to recovery from that. I'm feeling improvments every day.

Ok as for RNY/GB related stuff on me.. I'm still below goal and still losing (and don't want to!!). I'm down to 166.4 and I feel like I'd really like to weigh about 200. Crazy I know.. but it makes a huge difference with comfort. I can't lay on my sides all the time and now with low back surgery it makes it difficult just to sleep... I just remind myself to turn over as much as possible.... and hope for the best by morning.

I was having alot of throwing up issues not long ago, but I stepped back and slowed down and so far so good. I don't think there was another reason other than too much, too big, not chewed enough etc.

Well I better get some sleep. My pain medicine is kicking in and I don't want to go on and make no sense :)

BTW Here's an updated picture of me.. it's from November, but it's me!
