8 Month update
Feb 08, 2009
Today is my 8 month surgiversary. I weigh 190.4 today. I am 40.4 pounds away from goal and I am beginning to think I will make it.
I am having serious body image issues. I miss the way my body looked before surgery. Now I have lots of loose skin in places I never knew you could have loose skin. LOL !!!
I am a water girl. Love love love the water. Summer is in sight and I don't even know where to begin with appropriate swimsuits for my disfunctional body. Even at 300 pounds I would run up and down the beach and poolside with out a thought of what others were thinking. Now that is all I can think about. How ugly my thighs are going to be this summer at the beach. Plastic surgery is not even an option both finanially and emotionally.
Don't get me wrong, I love how healthy I am now. Normal cholesterol and blood pressure. My joints still really hurt alot though. Would I have RNY again. In a heartbeat. I just wanted others who were considering this surgery to know not everyday is a bed of roses, no matter how hard we try and make it one.
Next month is Peanut's birthday.I am so excited to get to the amusement park with her and ride all the rides, I am no longer scared that I won't fit.
Thanks for reading my ramblings,
Char
