WOW, life happens fast 7/14/10

Jul 14, 2010

I am alive and well and have lost over 100 pounds! I did not read my old posts so I don't really remember what was written, but I beleive i left off shortly before I had a gal bladder complication and they had to emergency remove it. WLS is nothing compared to a gal stone! If you are checking into having surgery you may want to ask how what your doctor thinks about removing the gal bladder while they are in there. It is a common side affect to get gal bladder attacks and/or gal stones after surgery. I was aware of this but did not ask about it because I figured I would deal with it if it affected me. Oh man did it!

But I recovered nicely and have since continued to lose weight. On New Year's 2010 I broke my foot because i am clumsy like that. Even being able to eat larger amounts more in a normal range and not able to excersize I have and seem to continue to lose weight and/ inches.

I now teeter around 194 - 197 and am wearing a size 14 pants and  large tops. My weight loss has balanced and slowed to a 1 or 2 pound loss a month. I also fluctuate 4 or 5 pounds through out the month due to hormones. My body has adjusted to be able to eat small normal portions and I am not nauseated after eating unless I have too much sugar or milk in my food or drink. Everything else is like normal again or feels normal which is good enough for me. I take a chewable vitamin everyday and a liquid one called geritol or something that tastes just aweful but it has a lot of iron and makes me feel good. That being said I can now eat low sugar yogurts a half cup at a time and could live on eggs overeasy. The drwbacks are most days I feel super hungry every other hour like i am starving. I also have to take nexium and tums  sometimes even prilosec powder on top of it all cause I tend to get ulcers sometimes where things have been rerouted, but most the time just a nightly nexium pill prevents the issue. Overall I am really pleased with the results and if I had to do it over I would!!

Now I am ready to check out cosmetics. My boobs shrunk!! ...and I kinda have grandma arms and twin belly without the kids to show for it. Right now I think I look great in clothes, but I feel my journey will be complete when I feel just as great without them even if just in my own company.

Oh and I went brunette!
