Another update

Apr 05, 2009

The wedding went off without a hitch and it was really really nice to have all my husband's kids together in one place for the first time in 11 years.  We got their pictures done and they all spent alot of quality time together.  We provided dinner for everyone at On The Border, and everyone loved that.  I cooked dinner a couple of nights for everyone, that was a lot of work, but I enjoyed it.  I have lost another 10 pounds since my last post.  The weight is slowly but surely coming off.  It is putting up a fight, though!!
I can really see a difference now......it has taken awhile for me to look in the mirror and actually see it....others have been seeing it for a long time.  I can not wear the clothes I was wearing at the time of surgery, those are a history!!  I have gone from a 3X scrubs at work to a loose XL.  I can wear large, but, to me they are a bit snug.  I have gone from a 26/28 to a 18/20 in most things.  I am very happy about this!!  I hardly ever check my blood sugar, but when I do it is in the 80's.  My husband says he never hears me snore at night, so the sleep apnea is truly gone!!
Our plans to move to the Philippines are in high gear now.  We have our plane tickets!!  We fly out of L.A. on July 16th.  Now we just have to start boxing stuff up to ship over there.  Very overwhelming!!
I had a wonderful afternoon with a good friend I met on here.  She had her surgery 2 weeks before me and is looking SO good!!  I had the pleasure of seeing her WOW moment of fitting into size 9 jeans!!  The look on her face was priceless!!  I am very far away from size 9's and have my doubts that I will ever fit into size 9's.....I will be happy when I can wear a normal size 12.  Thanks, Kim, for a very fun day!!
It has gotten easier to get fluids in now.  I am trying very hard to take my vitamins regularly and I am trying to get my protein in.  I am supposed to get my labs drawn and check everything, so we will see how I am doing.  Will update later!!
