8 Months Post-Op

Apr 21, 2009

Ok so im now 8 months post op. I have lost a total of 127 lbs!!!! Ive gone from 252 to 225. I was hoping to be down alot more, but im happy with my loss this far and hoping for about 45 more. My goal is and will always be 180 lbs. Im not looking to be super thin or be a size 4, but I do want to be healthy. Last month was a really hard month for my little family. We had a early miscarriage. I was crazy to even find out I was pregnant because I had a IUD, but again nothing is 100% safe. I had the IUD removed because it had slipped and was hurting my husband and myself hen we had sex and obviously I got pregnant from it. Im now on a pill because they didnt want to give me anything else. As much as I want another baby SOO BAD I need to wait. Im doing alot better now and im loving school. I did have it confirmed that I do have Rheumatoid Arthritis.. It has been SUPER hard on me. Im not able to walk most days or use my hands let alone, excercise or go to a gym. I soo wish I could go for a walk or do something active, but it just isnt happening. This has been so painful because its attacking all of my joints all over my body including my feet and knees which are the worst and my neck, back and also my hands. And having a 2 year old to run around with has been crazy hard too. Now that its warming up, im going to try and SWIM! I wanna take my son swimming, but id like to be able to do some laps or take a class though too. Hopefully that wont be so hard on my body. Um.. im down to a size 16!!! Woot Woot! I bought some 18 jeans the other day and had to take them back because they were too baggy. I think I was in a stall for about 2 months.. I wasnt losing and I got so nervous and scared about it. But finally this month I have dropped like 12 lbs which is awesome, because I was sooo scared for awhile there. Im hoping to lose about 12-15 lbs this next month in may and I really want to be below 200 by June and be at 180 (goal) by my Year visit in August. I have 45 lbs to go till goal.. Its close but im trying to get there. My parents are doing awesome. MY dad weighs 190 lbs and my moms 1 year anniversary is next month and she has been a t goal for like 6 months already and is at 139 and wears a size 4-6! Awesome! Anyways.. Thats that.. Oh.. we are having a house built in Rio Rancho and it will be done by August. How exciting right?
