feeling better and husband
Dec 09, 2008
Ive been trying to weigh less than my husband, but he keeps loosing weight too, and Im just above him a little. I just cant pass him! but I am wearing smaller shirts than he is!
He still wears smaller pants than me, because of the way he wears them. he wears a 38, and Im not expecting to get that far down. If I do, great, but Im not counting on it.
Plateau gone!
Dec 09, 2008
I have my 6 month appointment on Thursday, and Theyre going to take blood. Im curious as to what my iron levels are.
I filled my last rx of the year, and next month Ill be back with regular coverage, so I wont have to pay so much. Ive been in the gap for about 6 months :(
Im down to a size 24 in jeans :) From a 36 to a 24! thats 6 pants sizes!
no loss...

but onthe bright side, I have some clothes in a 2x that fit! I went from a 5x/6x to a 2x! Thats pretty good.
4 month appointment
Nov 02, 2008
Im happy with my progress this far, and Im glad to be healthier, and Im just going to get healthier.
Ive been shopping around the thrift stores around here, and Ive found a lot of cute tops to wear. Im actually finding some cute things, but theyre too big for me! I havent been able to shop at the thrift stores for clothes in a long time, and now to see clothes that are too big for me is crazy! I still pick things up and think, well I might be able to squeeze into that, and then i try it on, and its too big!
walking
Oct 22, 2008
I have to take the bus again tomorrow to go to the doctor, but the bus stops in front of my house, and stops at the doctors office, so I wont have to walk. I might walk to the next stop after my appointment though, depending on the time.
more energy
Oct 14, 2008
I still am not exersising. I am more active though. Im losing a lot slower than I was, but its still coming off.
Im now 1 lb over halfway to my goal.
Im also now able to shop at walmart for clothes. Ive had to buy a few new things, because my clothes were falling off me. Im lucky I dont have to buy a new coat this year. I have a leather jacket from years ago that I can wear now.
I found a blazer in my closet from last year and I tried it on. It can wrap around me almost twice.
Im still having a hard time seeing the difference. I had my husband take pictures of me the other day, and I compared them to pictures of me before surgery, and with them side by side I really can tell a difference, but I dont see it when I look in the mirror.
I can feel it when I move and in how my clothes fit me, also I can feel some of my bones more easily. Its just hard to make my mind really believe that Im losing, and Ive lost so much already. I still have a long way to go, but Im over half way there, and in less than a year too.
havent updated in awhile
Sep 02, 2008
I havent updated in quite awhile. everything has been going ok. After I got the stricture fixed I had to go back up to the hospital the next day because I was throwing up everything, even water. They found a kidney stone, and said that was the reason why I was throwing up. After a few days and many suppositories I was feeling much better. I was feeling dizzy and tired a lot, but that went away a couple of weeks ago, I think that was just left over bad feelings from the surgery. Ive not been getting any protein shakes in, nor have I been taking my vitamins or exercising. I really need to get a gym membership or something, but money is really tight right now, and our car is broke down, so we dont have anything to drive. Ive lost about 55 pounds since surgery without doing the right stuff. but I really need to commit and do the right thing.
Its not better yet
Jul 12, 2008
Im still feeling sick. I went in Thursday to see the doc and he said I had a stricture, so off we went to the hospital to fix it. I felt better right away, but on the car ride home I started feeling bad again. Yesterday it got even worse. I couldnt even hold water down. I tried to take the nausea pill and that came right back up. so I called the doc again and they wanted me to come up and get a cat scan. Everything was fine in the cat scan except that I have a kidney stone. The er doc said that between the keytones being released and the stone is why Im feeling bad.
When I woke up I took a suppository and Im hoping it will work. Im not really feeling better yet.
I feel like crap
