one drain left and i am a NORMAL weight

Sep 19, 2009

well, down to one.  i can't wait for it to come out.  once all my scars heal, i can hold my babies in my lap,. i certainly have missed them. hombre has started sitting in front of my chair and barking at me.  i know he wants in my lap.  it is funny how attached u can get to the little ones.  hombre is a yorkie and is five pounds. mister is a mutt, who was horribly abused, and weighs 10 pounds. pattie is a rat terrier and weighs 12-13 pounds.  my damn cat, twoie, is a rescue also, (in fact all are except hombre) he is a orange tabbie and has learned the joy of outdoors. he stays in the fenced yard and just lays in the yard or hunts bugs.

my hubby has been great during all of this.  he has a lot of medical problems so he is kind of slow, but he tries his best to take care of me, the babies and the house.  i wouldn't trade for him.  this is the second time we have been married to each other. we have been married 13 3/4 years this time.  being sober has certainly helped our marriage.

i went to an AA meeting thursday and got sooooooooo many compliments. several people didn't even recognize me.  i hadn't been to a meeting for a couple of months because of the surgery and baby sitting my grandkids in july.  they are such good friends.  i have become closer to some people at bariatric buddies than i am to a lot of the people in AA.  both groups are important in my life. as far as saving my life, i would have to chose AA. without it i am not going to stay sober and that is the most important thing in my life. without my sobriety, i wouldn't have the love or respect of my kids, hubby, parents, friends.  i wasn't a very nice drunk.

now i have to treat my maintenance on weight loss the same way. i must do what i have to do to be able to keep  my weight down.  i will start doing like doc warnock says when i get stabilized on my weight after this surgery. he says to weigh yourself everyday and if u gain weight, go on a liquid diet for two days to lose it.  however, he said there are two types of patients. one you worry about gaining weight and the other you worry about losing too much weight. he said i am in the losing too much weight category.  i would like to hit a happy medium.

well enough for now. just words of rambling.  thanks for my friends at oh, especially at bariatric buddies.
