4 months out

Apr 03, 2009

Well I never posted after my appointment but that was mostly because the doctor was sick and canceled my appointment and I went the following week and weighed in at 165 pounds. Now I am 4 months out and down to 157. And I had the biggest shock when I bought a size 12 pair of pants and as always I don't try them on at the store and got home and they were to big. I just got back from walmart and I bought a size 10 and they fit. I have not been that size since high school. I went to Hawaii with my husband and we had a great time. Well I did at least. He went for work and worked 12 hour days so I got to do things on my own, which if I were me before surgery I don't even think I would have went on that vacation. I actually went out in the ocean in a bathing suit!!! Some sad  news is that even though I have lost all this weight my back is still bothering me. I have been to the ER 2 times because of it and got some GOOD drugs. I see ortho next week and I am afraid they are going to want to do surgery to repair some of my discs ( I have degenerative disc disease) but I am still so young I am not ready for that. But it goes to show that even though a person loses weight it doesn't make it better. That's what I got EVERY single time I went to see the docs. Now I just want to shove it in their faces because I have had more problems with my back in the past 4 months than I did the year before surgery. OK well I went on enough about that. I hope everyone is doing well.
