Christmas has come and gone...
Jan 09, 2011
Well time does have a way of going by with or without us. The difference between now and before surgery is, then, I mourned the lost time to be healthy and missed life. Now, I am excited because each day that passes I am smaller. Just a thought also this is the first New year in forever that I haven't had to make losing weight a resolution! I am currently down 68lbs as of this morning Jan 9, 2011. My current weight is 286.8lbs. I haven't been this weight since Feb of 2008 when I was having gall bladder problems! This was the lowest I got though and so next weigh in it will be over 5 years since weighing this low. Cool I would say for sure. I thank God everyday for a tool to help me to finally get rid of this cursed weight. I am starting to hope and dream for the future and setting small goals. On an interesting note I am still learning about my sleeve(VSG) it is funny I always had a sweet tooth and am finding a couple things(chocolate) too sweet. Like gaggingly sweet. To funny because nothing was ever to sweet for me before. Also I have days where I really could care less if I ate, just saying that is so foreign from my lips. That also was something that never happened, even when I was sick I still felt like eating. So this last week I ate very little every day, mind you I did have a cold and wasn't feeling well. I find the first couple days before I start my period my body does a funny hormone thing and I don't want to eat. I am not saying that there aren't days that I don't have the munchies, there are, but alot less than ever before surgery. So needless to say, I love my sleeve. My second chance at life and health. I am very excited for summer to come and to see what that brings. I honestly cannot even guess what I will look like or feel like by then. It is fun to shop in my own closet. I recently went through it and have gone through most of the sizes now. I am on to using hand me downs(nice ones) from my sister and friends. My sizes very greatly according to brands but my pants are now a 2x down from a 4x at my largest. My shirts are a 2-3x down from a 5-6x at my largest. So we are making good progress there as well. I will update in a month or so again, to see how far we have come!! bye for now...
