Ms S.
3 Year Surgiversary coming up-stay tuned for 'afters' on 03.13!
Mar 10, 2011
Just a quick check in cuz I haven't been on. Realized the date is coming up soon and posted some befores I found...I'm excited about posting my afters but I wanna wait til the 13th to give myself a three year Wow! moment.What a difference a day makes huh? That day, March 13, 2008 was the day that changed my life. I hardly recognize the old me but I am still her inside in many ways. The new me takes a whole lot less BS from others whereas the old me took so much abuse. I don't truly know why but I believe it's more than just self esteem. Maybe more a sense of worth after all those years of being told how worthless I was.
I would like to move forward more though- particularly in the area of self image. I recall saying how much I wanted to be a hot mom pre op but these days, I rarely am. When I'm complimented, I blow it off. When I see apparel I like, I tell myself I should spend the money on other things. I want to have plastics but can't bring myself to spend the money ON myself. I don't know. I'm working on it. I still want to be a hot mom, I just have to DO it I suppose.
Anywhoo, I'm still holding steady within the 143-146 range unless I'm sick as stated in my previous post but I have figured it's just because I don't even try to eat when I feel ill - mostly fluids so I drink Pedialyte. Yes: the children's electrolyte replacement. Better than Gatorade when you need to get your fluids up in my opinion.
Otherwise, I have to get my iron levels up cuz I've had two blood transfusions within the past year. I was anemic before this surgery, in fact, in recovery from the surgery required blood then as well. I have discovered the joy of Trim Nutrition Injectable B-12 and though I hate needles, I discovered that the hardest part is the initial stick. It doesn't actually hurt but for some reason my brain panics at the thought of sticking the needle in my skin but once that part is over, I can inject w/no problems. I see they also have a D3 injectable and am thinking I might get that to save the energy of pill popping but it's a bit expensive.
It's late and I really don't have much to say. Just wanted to check in and will see ya on the 13th...
Luv Sharon
