Almost 7 months out

Aug 02, 2009

Sorry it has been so long since I posted but life has really caught up with me..I had a summer class that didnt get out til July 8th and after that my kids have been wanting to hang out at the pool every day. I went to the dr this past wed for my 6 month..I know i was a few weeks late but it happens..I have lost 90 lbs..YIPPIE...he gripped at me for not working out much but with school it was hard to get to the gym when you get up at 5 am to do clinicals at the hospital and study for test..I have made a promise to get better at working out..My 17 year old daughter will make me stick to that. She has lost 30 lbs since my surgery because she doesnt want a mom smaller than her...hehehe..talk about motivation...I have went from pant size 26 to a 14 and shirt size 26 to an 18..Of coarse the one thing the hubby was worried about hasnt gotten any smaller..Im not complaining either though. I really dont want to have to have any boob work done but I also dont want saggy boobs either..I asked the dr where i should have been for being over 6 months out and he said he would have like to have seen me lose another 5-8 lbs but I was doing great..Hes talking about pumping up the workouts and in 3 months removing the excess skin in my tummy area. But i beleive ill wait til May when I get done with school and start working to have the surgery and have a complete tummy tuck instead of just skin removal. I have heard Dr Dixon talk at meetings I have been to and hes awesome so ill be seeing him for the surgery. I did take 6 month pics and will be taking 7 month ones here in a week or so. I still feel great and never regret having this surgery that has given my family a healthy mom back...
