Down 97 lbs

Jan 13, 2010

Well, I am officially down 97 lbs.  Got to see my son for the first time since my surgery on Dec. 26th when he came home on leave from Afghanistan.  He was surprised at the change, considering the last time he saw me I was still laying in the hospital bed after my surgery. 

Sadly though, I have been put ON anti depressants and blood pressure meds, and recently got diagnosed with an ulcer.  I was told I worry too much.......but I have a 19 yr old in a war zone.....you really think this mom isn't gonna worry?  LOL  but I feel better than I have in years!  I actually took the stairs the other day instead of the escalator and noticed after I got to the top I wasn't breathing heavy, and I ran,  yes RAN out to the car, didn't realize I was running till my son pointed it out to me......it was nice!  LOL  I have learned a whole new way of eating....I enjoy the satisfied feeling and not the full feeling and I recognize the difference between the two.  if I want a bite of candy, I take the bite.......but savor that ONE bite and don't go for that second because my dumping comes in the form of cold sweats, nausea, and feel like I came down with the instant flu.....and it sucks.....so I am extrememly cautious about what I eat.  I guess I am luckier than some, I don't have too much sagging skin considering the amount of weight I have lost, and my husband and I are acting like we did when we first met......never realized how "handsy" he was back then!  LOL
