3 months post-op update

Dec 19, 2008

Wow, I can't believe it, today makes 3 months that my life changed forever.  I don't have any pearls of wisdom, nor deep, soul searching musings.  It's about 6 days before Christmas and I've not even begun with my shopping so I don't have time this month for my usual deep thoughts.  He,he,he...I'm sorta busy living life.  That and everything is just so hard when you only have the use of one hand and it hurts to move those fingers.  Sigh.  Anyways, I just started today my two week break from work and school so I'll be around more until school starts again in the New Year.  I do have one thing to say and that is that I am amazed at how much I've changed physically, emotionally, mentally and every other "ally" you can think of.  I may not have as much loss pound wise as others at 3 months out, but I am losing a ton of inches.  I'm down to a 16 or 18, depending on who makes it, from a whopping 26.  That's between 8 to 10 dress sizes!  And, my back pain is a memory and my neck is slowly appearing...those of you who have shared the beginning of my journey will recall a certain incident with a punk at CVS and his comment about my "no neck"...would love to show that punk my neck now.

Anyways, here are some before and afters...ya'll pardon my dishevelled look from today, I was a bit frazzled, had just gotten off work and am recovering from hand surgery (dang that sucker hurts!) I had on Wednesday so I couldn't use my hands to blowdry my hair and coif it so purty...but not overly bad I might say.

1 day post-op (lordy I can't believe I don't still look like this!:
