One Year and 2 weeks post op

Jan 01, 2011

Had my one year appointment couple weeks ago. Dr was amazed by the difference. I lost 150lbs by that appointment and am now at around 160-65 lost total! I am wearing 12-14 jeans and a large shirt. All I can say is WOW!! I am finally getting more used to be smaller. I still fold my clothes and think they are my daughters. and how will that ever fit me! But yes we are the same size except all my boobs are gone :(  Hate that. She will be 17 in a few weeks, I don't even think I was this small when I was 17. 

Was put on a bunch of vitamins for low deficencys. I just can't get into the routine of taking them everyday. I do good for a week then I forget. I am now also doing a B12 shot every month. that helps with my energy! Can tell a difference already.  Still want to get below 165. That will be half of me gone!! And I want my BMI to be at or below 25. So just working little at a time. Things have slowed way down but still losing a few lbs a month. I can deal with that. Like I said in the beginning I just wanna be healthy not a stick!

The skin is starting to bug me and will be looking into what I can do about that. Dr says that would be another 25lbs easy and would put me at my ideal weight for my height.  

I am loving and hating shopping for clothes. Love the shopping part just don't like to try things on and its hard to adapt to todays styles. Seems like everytime I finally break down and buy new clothes I am out of them in a couple of weeks and need different ones again. Still wearing some of the bigger stuff for work and around the house. I just don't like to spend lots of money on things then have to do it again so I put it off. People always say wow when they see me in non work clothes and things that fit me. None of us really realize how small I actually am.

Still getting some good support. My kids and husband and his family are great. Sometimes overkill but they mean well. My son calls me Paris Hilton cause I don't eat alot. It's funny. Wish my family would be more supportive but they just don't know how to be I guess. Mom just doesn't know how to give a compliment! Drives me nuts. Why can't she just say I am proud of you and you look great?!

Anyways,,, I don't try to dwell on the negative and keep being positive. Had a great Christmas and New Years! Happy Anniversery to my wonderful husband Corey! I love you very much and thank you for everything.

Thanks to the good Lord above for keeping me healthy and getting me thru this. I wouldn't change a thing. Dr. says this year will be the hard one. Gotta work on not gaining anything back. Please help and guide me thru this next year and help  me keep to my goals. Keep everyone safe, healthy, and happy in the new year. AMEN :)
