7 month surgiversary update

Sep 09, 2009

7 months today!   Hope you are all doing great!
I predict you are   !!

I have recovered from my gall bladder surgery...really nothing much to it. But of course, I only had ONE, so nothing to compare to.

I am down 122 lbs. from day of RNY surgery. My top size down from 28 to a Misses Large (16?). Pants, well, that is harder to guage. After all, I hadn't worn "real" jeans, you know, the kind with a  for several years pre-op. I wore the elastic waist jeans....in a size 26. Anyway, my "real" jeans are a 18 today, but those are a bit loose. I just picked up some 16's.

I am learning to embrace the loose skin. My bat wings, thigh wings, panni.  I  have decided that if I ever want to give up my day  job, and be a superhero, I will be Ms. Airborne, the FLYING SQUIRREL  
You know her, Rocky's                  redneck cousin.


Seriously, I have succumbed to the idea that I will NOT be one of those persons who's skin bounces back like a rubber ball. (wow, that's an image). Genetics only carry ya so far! The rest is just exhausted skin that is telling me, "Hell, go for the tuck! You deserve it!"   So barring any other internal organs needing to be removed, that will be  my next surgery.  --> No, that is not my butt, but I think mine is getting there!

For those of you who have been absent from this board, AND PAM IN N.C. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
Know that I'm thinking of you, and hoping all is well.

Will blog more later, it's been awhile..but life gets in the way sometimes.

Hugs,
Kathy
