I can kneel!
Oct 22, 2007
Just an update. My daughter and I started back to church last Sunday. There is a temporary Pastor there now and that is a good thing as I didn't like the previous Pastor. He rushed through the service and seemed uptight. We took communion yesterday. I was really scared that my knee's would hurt and or I wouldn't be able to get back up easily after. I had no hurt while kneeling, and no problems getting back up! This is sooooo awesome! Woooohoooo! It's so wonderful to have my life back, slow as I think it is! I am truly greatful for all of this good that is going on in my life now! I have to alter my pants again, as I've lost a lot more weight (if not weight, a lot more in inches!) Remember, this is NOT a complaint lol! I am looking forward to being able to shop in REGULAR stores for my clothes! I am going to save money on shipping and handling. I have been in the mood for baking, and made banana bread the other day. I have to freeze most of it, as my daughter and I can't eat it all and I am not going to eat it often. (again not a complaint!) I am going to be baking and cooking a lot for Christmas, but I have a friend that will appreciate the xtra that we can't eat. She can always take it to work and share with them or her husband 
. Good luck and God Bless everyone!

More loss!
Aug 19, 2007
Now total weight loss is 88.5 lbs in 4 1/2 months! Awesome! Oh, and I also asked him what iron I could take since it seems in my family we can't take it. He asked me why I wanted to take iron, I told him my nutritionist told me back in May? that my iron was a little low and I should take some iron. He told me that when we last did my labs, my iron levels were fine and there was no need to bother with taking iron! 
I about kissed his hand as that's one less pill I have to take! Yeah baby!!!! Hope everyone (like us here in Georgia) are able to stand this 3 week heat (heat index's have been about 104 every single day)we've had and I pray it cools off even more this week! Well, I'm busy tonight, so gotta go. I should be able to get some updated pics taken/loaded onto my profile this week as there is no running errands this week WHEW! Hope everyone is doing fine and enjoying life! God Bless! 
Yayyyy weighed today!

More inch loss...
Jul 28, 2007
Just have to let ya'll know, I put on some clothes that were a bit small before but now are super loose on me! I can tell I've lost a lot more inches! WOOOOHOOOO! I did finally order a smaller bra (band wise but same cup size, next time will have to be cup size as well 
) yesterday and today will alter my current one (band size). This is awesome! I can even tell I've lost inches in my hips, thighs and butt which I've been told is where most women hold their weight! OH MY I'M SO HAPPY! I was so scared I had plateau'ed, but if I did, it was only for a short time and I am back to losing again! I am hoping that since I have to go to the Atlanta airport to pick up my daughter TOMOROW (Yaaaaaayyyyyy!!!) we will be close to my surgeon's office so we could always swing by there so I can be weighed. Keep your fingers crossed that we can do that--her plane isn't supposed to land in Atlanta until 3:25 p.m. If there are no delays we should be able to run up to my surgeon's office. I can't wait! I'm so excited! I can't believe I hit my 4 month mark yesterday. It seems like so long ago that I had the surgery, and it has forever changed my life. This summer, even with the heat, I show very little signs of my old idiopathic edema (only one place on my body, my right ankle and that only swells up a little bit close to my period and is very tolerable). I can wear all my rings again, I can give myself pedicures and do my toenails to match my fingernails, I have met my goal of being able to walk more than a few steps without getting out of breath, I don't sweat as badly as I did before (even when it's super humid), and I'm looking forward to going more places and doing more physical things with my daughter! Everyone please continue to keep me updated on your progress and God Bless!!!!!!
Just an update....

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been sooooo long since my last update. Just been busy. I haven't been able to weigh myself as of lately, but I am still working on it! Hopefully soon. I'm keeping up with my tae bo, however I've kicked it back to only 3 times a week with some walking added in. I can tell I've lost more inches Yayyyy!!! I still have some clothes to alter lol but am so loving it! I will have to break down and buy a smaller bra here in the next couple weeks as well, even though this one I have is only about a month old LOL. That's NOT a complaint ya'll! I'm loving it! My daughter returns in 9 days and I'm looking forward to that and getting the walking (exercise) to pick her up at the Atlanta airport! Thanx to all that are keeping me updated on surgery dates and their progresses! God bless everyone!
3 month post op

But I am going to give up the stupid pounds goals as I see more loss with inches. That's what I've always gone by (even before surgery) and that's what I'm going back to. It's a disappointment I will have to deal with and I can, but to have only lost 19.5 lbs in 2 months is quite discouraging especially after working my butt off doing tae bo almost every night and eating/drinking only the things I should. I really don't have much choice about not monitoring the pounds anyway, I am still too heavy for "regular" scales, and there are no larger scales here in town, nor can I afford to buy any or go out of town to weigh myself. So...back to just saying "I have no clue" when asked how much weight I've lost. Well that's the news for now...not what I wished I could have written, but it's an update. God Bless everyone!
