OK so just a little update about my health and weight loss and all that good stuff…. I have been feeling SO GOOD and have lost a lot of weight (OK so I rounded up when I said 100 pounds and I haven’t exactly actually hit the 100 pound mark yet but I am close!!). I have given away most all my bigger sized clothing (or have it packed and ready to go to new homes) and have had to buy some new stuff so I am not naked… LOL… The worst, well, most expensive anyway, is having to buy new bras. GARSH DARN they are expensive (I can’t wear walmart bras, I have to have the good stuff that is comfortable). So I got new ones like a month ago and they are too big already!! I am going to go broke like this. (Go broke? What am I talking about, I have been broke for a long long time already). So anyway…. I am feeling good and enjoying this a lot. I just got over a horrible nasty upper respitory flu thing, knocked me on my ass for like 2-3 weeks (or so!!) and I felt good for like 3 days and now yesterday and today I am getting all fricken stuffed up again. PLEASE don’t anyone tell me that you get sick a lot after weight loss surgery!!! I hope and pray that isn’t a common side effect.
I should say too that I remain totally OFF my meds for PCOS and diabetes - (no more metformin/glucophage OR byetta for me woo hoo also don’t have to check my blood sugar everyday anymore). I take NOTHING to sleep - ambien went bye-bye in June and I have never looked back! I take only one med to prevent migraines and am doing very well there. My back and neck (herniated disks) are doing very well, as are my ankle/foot problems. My attitude and outlook have improved by leaps and bounds… according to my husband I am a completely new person (or maybe he means more like the person he met/fell in love with/married again). I feel good, that’s all I know.
I think I am to the point where I will stop or really slow down losing weight if I don’t really start to work at it (exersize EVERYday and watch what I eat not just how much I eat… all that stuff). So I gotta get more strict with myself but, it’s totally worth it. I feel so much better, light years better, and I am so thrilled with how it has gone so far. HELL??? Yes. It’s been hard, difficult, miserable at times. But WORTH IT!! and I mean that.
Wishing you all well!!!!
Tarra…..
now back to my pre-ever-pregnancy size - Yaaaaaaaaaaay!
not yet to my goal of AT LEAST what I was when I got married and/or perhaps even a little bit less than that…

We have been trying to figure out what to do with the kids for school this year. Ideally we wanted them in Lutheran school here, because it has a special emphasis on the arts, which they are all very interested in. But it will cost us around $6000 a year to put the kids in […]

As most of you probably know, I have polycystic ovary syndrome which causes insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is simultaneously like Diabetes and completely the opposite of Diabetes. Your body produces tons of insulin, but your body doesn’t know how to use it. It means that your cells starve and everything you eat gets converted directly […]

It’s hard for me to put into words how much I do not believe in coincidences and how full circle this has come for me.
You may remember a few years back when I was working with a British scientist on inflammation, causes of, how to treat it, treating it with vitamin C and finding out […]

2 weeks ago my husband said something to me about how distorted my logic was. This morning he was just looking at me and I asked him what?? And he said, “You’re you again. You’re so… so…. functional!” You have no idea how great it felt to hear that. I am feeling like ME again. […]

As a recent gastric bypass recipient I have been disappointed at the lack of “good vitamins” out there for my situation and the few there are cost A LOT of money. I need something either chewable or liquid (which is BTW the only way anyone can guarantee that they are even absorbing any of the […]

What do you do to cope with the happiness and stresses in your life? One of the most positive and successful coping mechanisms is journaling. Highly encouraged by counselors and “experts” everywhere (you know, like Oprah, ha ha). Well, my blogging is my journaling. I like to write. I like to TYPE. Not handwrite. I […]
