Still here!

Jul 01, 2012

 Hello to all my OH friends!  I am still here and doing great!  I have been really busy the last few months. Life's stressors and living a new life.  

I am down to #171 as of yesterday!  I really can't remember when I last weighed that. I am now thinking about a tummy tuck /panniculectomy. I am 16 months out from surgery now. The weight is still coming off. But very slowly. LOl. I would be happy to lose 10 more pounds.  But simply because of the bounce up most post bariatrics patients have. I am in a size 12 sometimes size 10 depending on the clothes. I still look in the mirror and wonder who I am looking at and people at work don't recognize me. 

I am still so glad I made the decision to have surgery. I feel so much better. I still have back pain. But my primary dr thinks it is from the extra skin I carry. I hate it and so hope I can say bye to it in the future. My confidence is better then ever and I love being so active. I have days when I wish I could bite into a big juicy burger. But I chose to go bunless and it is fantastic.  But I know I made the choice I made because of my health and family.  So most days I don't mourn my lack of buns. Haha 

I will remind all my friends. Drink your water and take your vitamins. So important. I had about a month where I was busy ran out of vitamins and was slacking on my water. Wow. Did I feel punky. Such and important thing to remember. Such a simple little thing to do to keep ourselves healthy. Protein!!!  I have found I crave it. Not only that but I need more now then a year ago. I stick to about 80+ now. We need that fuel. I will be back to chat soon!
Stay healthy!


So good to
