8-13-09 - 1 day away from my 3 month post op

Aug 12, 2009

I just want to put out there a many thanks to all the people that I have met on here and all the support everyone has given me.  Today I am 1 day away from my 3 month surgery anniversary and I just hit 70 lbs GONE FOREVER!  It is just amazing.  I went for my post op appt yesterday and Dr. Dallal said everything looks good and he was very happy to see the progress.  I go back in 3 months, with blood work results in hand.  Hopefully they will be good. 

Well I broke my own goal of 60 - 70 before September.  Now I am only two weeks ahead of the game but hey whatever works right.  I have definately seen a slow down the in weight lost but it is definately come off.   I am feeling great and never had so much energy.

OT... As many of you know that my ex husband and I are trying to have a friendship now that he is not with the girlfriend anymore.  Well my car was in the shop over this past weekend and I borrowed my grandfather's car and I needed to return it on Monday night after work.  Well he was so kind and picked me and the boys up at Gram's and took up home on his way to work.  Oh and he still doesn't have a place to stay and he is suppose to be out of their house by Labor Day.  So we get in the car and my youngest (Jason) comes right out and says "Daddy are you coming to live with us?"  I just turned my head and giggled.  All I have to say is Out of the Mouth of Babes.  LOL.   Well he did come up and visit for a while.  The first time in 7 years that we actually were in the same room were we had to talk about something other than the kids.  Well it was very alkward but I got through it.  I also found out a very disturbing piece of information.  One of the main reasons that he and the girlfriend broke up was that she had had the WLS.  Which some of you would be like what is the big deal.  Well he added that she gained 70 lbs to qualify for the surgery.  She actually only needed to lose 40 - 50 lbs but she decided that if she gained weight she would be better off with the surgery.   I was just shocked.  I knew she had had the surgery but I didn't realized she had gain a small kid for it.  I figured that she had gained some weight since their relationship started and needed it.  Well was I wrong.    And I was kinda of pissed because she also went to my surgeon.  Now I know that is stupid but hey a girl has to want some of those things for herself.  LOL..

Well I just thought that my friends on here would love to here that there are some people out there that don't take our tool seriously and think it is the easy way out. 

I love my tool and I will always try and respect it!!

Bye for now.

Jenn
