Wowwza! I am here! 2014

Apr 10, 2014

My last post was in Jan.  Wow!  That is such a long and short time ago.  I have successfully attended my 3 month post-op appt.  And I was down 98 lbs!!    Dr. Kelly says I am good to go until my 6 month.  He says I should be down another 50lbs by then.  I raised him 10 more.  (Go Go Power Misce!!)

I have been horrible lately about staying on the vitamin wagon.  I have started to pick up my slack this past week.  I found out that my wonderful gummy, chewing multi vitamins were hiding hidden carbs and I didn't want to eat them nor the cost of the bottle.  So, I begrudgingly chewed them-- one here, one there...  They are all gone.  I fed them to my kids. That is one way to get vitamins into em'.

The one thing that i have begun to notice is I am losing some of my hair now.  I am hoping the increase and return to my vitamins will solve this problem.  However, the little hair loss in nothing compared to my NEW me.  It is amazing what 100 pounds gone will do to a woman.  I am relearning how to live.  Literally.  Hitting the gym, pretty regularly and loving it!  Fitting inside a tanning bed. Yeah, Yeah.  I know it is bad for the skin and it will not help with elasticity. Blah. Blah.  Blah.  I want to do it.  And, I know that the knife is going to be a "must have" if I want to achieve my ultimate goal.  There is loose skin already.  I am noticing it mainly on the bottoms of my arms.  I will have to post a picture when I get my sister to take one.  I imagine it would be hard for me to take a decent shot of my arms while holding the camera (you get the picture haha).

I took a nasty spill on the asphalt last week and I thought that I was going to die!  I am so thankful that it was not 450 hitting the pavement, but 328.  I seriously know that the impact (pun intended) would have been greater on my knee if I has not lost some of the weight.  But overall, the knee ended up being just really sore for 2 days, and I have some major bruising. 

This post seems all over the place, but I want to include as much as possible.  My ticker OMG--I use to look at other peoples and say Gosh, I would be happy with 1/2 that.  I am one of "those" people now.  I love you guys and the support and the outlet for everything.  I will make more effort into posting.  I hope that one day I can help some Person.  Just like some of OH's post have helped me.

Getting on with my life:  Misce C.
