10 month update

Feb 02, 2009

Okay...so in just a few days I will be coming up on my 10 month surgery anniversary. It has got me thinking...I am 2 months away from my 1 year anniversary and only about 45 pounds from my goal weight! I look at my life now and how it used to be and realize that this really is the best thing I ever did besides having my children! I am a completely different person...I have gained the confidence and self esteem that I have always lacked. I feel so empowered...kind of like I can conquer the world. lol. I am down to 211 pounds now. I am smaller than I was in High school. I wear a size 14 jeans, medium shirt and medium pajama pants. My sister and I went to Victoria's Secret and bought matching clothes! We have never been able to do this before and it was a HUGE thing for us! We were actually small enough that we could even buy the stuff off the clearance rack (which is usually just the small sizes left) It makes me wish I were rich because I absolutely love to shop now....used to I hated to go shopping because I was huge and couldn't find anything to fit and it seemed like I ran out of breath and was tired before leaving the first store. Anyhow...I also went to the ER last night...I found out that I have a HUGE kidney stone and a kidney infection and they also said that I have some big gallstones in my gallbladder but it's not hurting me right now so we are worried about my kidney. Everyone has always said that kidney stones hurt like crazy...I believe them now! It hurts to move or anything! They even hurt through pain medicine! I go to the urologist on wednesday to see about getting them taken care of. As for now, that's about everything.
