He's Here!!

Jul 15, 2010

Well, let me first apologize for the delay. We lose weight and then our minds.....

My son came 5 weeks early on April 22. He is well and is approaching three months. I did have a rough pregnancy, back pain and a cerclage, but all is well. I have had diarrhea since Feb but they could not investigate because of the baby in me. Now that he is delivered, and I still have it, they have run all types of test, and cannot firgure it out.

My legs have swollen beyond recognition, they are much better now, but water pill and treatment of preeclampsia is not working. I started the pregnancy at 195lb, went in the hospital at 208lbs, came home at 212lb, I am now 152lbs. That's 60lbs loss with NO effort. It's a little scarry. I eat, but still have the diarrhea, and they cannot figure out why.

Nevertheless, I haven't been this small since.....I was 16 years old, about 21 years ago. WOW! I am loving it. I haven't exercised due to the baby, c-section, and lack of energy, so I can see how my body is getting really flabby. That "bariactric" look that I have been trying to defy. I have to start working out. This puts me at  110lbs lost in my 2 1/2 years  post opt!!! I never thought that I would make it to this size.

My legs are still big. I get it from my mom and have realized that surgery cannott cure everything. My shirts are size small, but my pants are size 8 or 10. It's funny because I purchased a size 4 pants the other day. They must run big! But I purchased them just because of the number, silly me.

Be sure to check out my new pics!
