Happy Ground Hogs Day! I went and saw Dr Collins and I DO have a hernia in the area right of the belly button so I have to have surgery.
I met my daughter Natalie out in Vegas this week. We had a blast. I got to go see the Las Vegas Speedway! I was on cloud nine. Will update when I know a date on surgery and all!!!

Well I am seeing Dr Collins who is a surgeon here in West Branch. My PCP thinks I either have a hernia or a seperated muscle. I am not happy about seeing him but I will see what he says and then go from there. I have to see him on the 29th. I leave for Natalie's that night to catch a plane in the morning for Vegas! Oh well at least I will find out what the heck is wrong and maybe he can help the pain I have with this stupid belly button also. Thank God low ride jeans are still popular. Until later!!!!

Wow!!! It has been 6 months since I have posted last. I can't believe this year has went so fast. Had a wonderful Christmas with everyone here but one of Jim's daughters. Had 21 people at the house. Good thing we have ALOT of room! haha. Well I went for blood work just before Christmas and for Christmas I get to start having B-12 shots. Oh what joy, Had my first one two days ago, felt good the rest of the day but was down the next day. Hopefully I will get better. I have to have a shot every week for a month and then every month after that. Dr. says I should have some energy back. I hope so! Well have a wonderful New Year!!!!

WOW!!! It has been 3 years! I can't believe it! I still wake up and wonder who the person is in the mirror! Other times I catch myself looking in the mirror and enjoying what I see! Life in general is sooooo great! My outlook on life is alot better! I actually LOVE myself which make me enjoy life alot! I am still wearing a size small or 6. Had to gain some weight! I was just to thin and did not feel healthy! Now I tell Jim I need to lose weight because I panic! I don't want to be heavy EVER again! It is so nice to wear the same size as my daughters. NEVER in my life have I been able to do that! Now I wear my hubbys shirts to bed cause they are big and comfy! They never fit me before!! LIFE IS GREAT!!! Take care and tata for now!!! SMILE IT MAKE EVERYONE WONDER WHAT YOU ARE UP TO!!!!!!!!

Well still in a state of "funk"! What can I say! I have been making myself get dressed instead of sitting around in sweats and baggy sweatshirts. I am REALLY unsatisfied with my breast. If you don't remember, I had a breast lift, reconstruction and augmentation. Well my left nipple is WAY to high! It is about 1 to 1.5 inches higher than my right. I hate it. When I wear a bathing suit I have to be careful so that it does not show. It is embarassing. Yeah my plastic surgeon will fix it but I have to pay for it. So at this point, that will not be getting done. I will eventually be getting larger implants and when I do I am getting my nipple fixed also and having them done in California by Dr Rey! I have been doing alot of research on him and been watching him and really feel he understands the complications of the skin on Bariatric Patients. We will see! Well I am getting excited about our trip Out West and also getting ready for our craft shows. Money is always tight when we don't do them because Jim wants me to stay home so we suffer for the couple of months that we don't have shows. Thank goodness the girls are all grown and moved out and it is just he and I. Well, enough venting for now! I am trying to get a better grip on things and trying to smile more! Grrrrrr!!!! Will write again soon!!!

Well Happy New Year! I at least hope it will be a Happy one. I am really having an attitude problem right now. I just want to stay in the house and not go ANYWHERE! I don't feel good. I don't feel attractive. I can't be supportive to anyone right now. My weight is the same so it is not a weight thing. I have demons that keep sticking out their ugly heads. I have been having alot of dreams lately that I am still fat! I wake up and really hate the world. I don't work outside the house and rarely go anywhere so I wear my sweats and big baggy shirts. Why get dressed up to do housework. Maybe that is alot of my problem. I don't know! I hate my hair. I am trying to grow it out but I don't think I will be able to do it! Natalie comes home next weekend, maybe I will have her chop it off. Jim wants me to maybe try to grow it out because I have always like long hair but when I was heavy it only made my face look even heavier but I don't like people thinking I am a guy either. I have been in my vehicle and had people ask me "Can I help you sir!" So I am really anti short hair on myself but also I can't stand this between state either. We have no good snowmobiling snow right now so we can't get our sleds out. That really sucks and it is almost the middle of January. We got out tent today. We are heading out West to meet up with my Aunt and Uncle in June. We were going to go to Florida again for the month of April but we are tired of going there and neither one of us has been out West so we thought it would be fun. I can't wait to go out there. It should be alot of fun!! Well I guess I will go and play games on the puter for awhile. Jim is watching the news and I find that so boring anymore!!! Talk soon!!

Well the Christmas holidays are just around the corner. We will start getting busy visiting with family and friends. We are done with our craft shows so that is a burden taken off our shoulders. We are now getting ready to go snowmobiling and traveling. We are still undecided on where we are going to go this winter. Jim wants to go to Alaska so we have been looking at a cruise in May. We both would like to go out West so we are looking at that or we may just head back to Florida for some sun and tanning. I have been doing really good. Still in 6 jeans and Med tops. Love shopping now and love walking the malls and stores. It is so nice to shop all day and not have to rest all the time. It has been a year since my TT and breast aug, lift and reconstruction. Everything looks pretty good. Still hate my belly button even after my revision. My scar is not as nice as my bariatric scar but oh well. When it tans, it is not so bad looking. Here is a picture of my hubby and two beautiful daughters that we took at Thanksgiving. Life is SO GOOD!!!! Bye for now and Merry Christmas!!!

Well I have not updated in sometime. My summer has been very busy between craft shows and my hubby having 3 knee surgeries. He seems to be doing ALOT better now. We are still having very warm weather. In the 70's today. We joined the Sheriffs ORV patrol and went patroling today. We have so much fun and I know that I would not be willing to do any of this stuff if not for losing the excess weight that I carried around. My beautiful daughters are doing wonderful! Hubby just bought a new snowmobile today which he really needed with the new knee and all! I told my hubby today that I enjoy trying on clothes so much now, especially when he is with me because it is so much fun to see his face when I try on something, especially jeans. Well this round of secret pal has been alot of fun! I have a WONDERFUL secret pal. I am having so much fun this time around. My hubby is even getting into the excitement. Whenever I get something in the mail he can't wait for me to open it. He even has fun helping shop for my secret pal. Well fall is upon us and we are enjoying every beautiful day because the leaves are changing which changes the view everyday! Happy Fall!!!!
