Long overdue update!!
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008OK 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…
