THANKFUL IN NOVEMBER!

Nov 28, 2009

It has been almost 3 years since I was blessed with RNY. I am still so thankful for my life today and especially my health. Soon it will be time for Tommy to have his surgrery, actually in less than a month. A revision, gallbladder removal and hernia repair. We are closing the store for a week so I can be with him and then maybe a week at home before he will return part time with limited activity. I am hoping a few hours a day to help build his strength back up. Dr Gibbs says he will bounce back fast......I sure hope so. Men usally don't handle pain will and he is no exception. As we are closer approaching his surgery date, I am even more confident in Gibbs and know this surgery is definately a must have. I just pray Tommy learns quickly not to over eat.
As for me, well I have lost another few pounds this month..yipee! I would love to see the 150's this year!  It still blows my mind why my body has decided not to loose into the 120's or 30's. I know I should be overjoyed with the loss so far but part of me is just a little dissapointed I did not loose more.....128 pounds is not shabby and I am so much healthier. I am not having any problems except with some meat when it does not digest. Still not drinking with mals and waiting 30 min after eating before drinking again. My vitimins are another story! I struggle with my vitimins still. I think one of the problems is the chewable vitimin makes me sick at th thought of chewing it up! I have tried changing flavors and it has not helped much. I guess I am a work in progress.
Me & Baby Jake are enjoying our time with each other! He likes to be read to and can sit alone now for limited time. He has brought so much joy  to my life. Josh & Jenny sem to b adjusting well at being new parents. Tommy and I are just stoked with the new role we have in life! He is a really good baby. Still no teeth at 6 months old. He must take that after his Daddy.... he was 9 months old before he started cutting teeth. He is finally on table food...funny I am so protective about what we feed him...I just don't want to feed him alot of sugar and create in him an overeater or overweight child. After growing up like that I just want better for him.. I hate this E key... it is still not working correctly and just pisses me off!
Overall, weight wise, i would say my satisfaction level would be a 8.5 to a 9.0.
November has been a new experience as is everyday. I am still watching the amount of food I eat as well as the items I consume. I am very leary of chicken still but at th same time, I will grab a bite of cake or a cookie! Not good. I think that is how many people fall back into the overeating and gain their weight back. I just pray I am able to maintain and not gain any.
I am so thankful for my WLS and would not change the decision for anything. If I had the choice to do again, to keep the money or have surgery.....no brainer...I would still spend the money and have the surgery. I still say I am worth it and deserve it. I am still commited to make the best outta my situation and try to get the most for my money and make it last!
THANKFUL IN NOVEMBER!
