Today it's been 5 months since I was "surgically enhanced"! And when I weighed myself on Sunday, I was down 135 pounds (from pre-surgury weight). Of course that changes day by day (and sometimes hour by hour!)..so I generally go with about 130 pounds down! YEAH! It feels sooooooooooooooo good, I can't even put it into words. Some things that have changed for me:
- No more cane!! (but it's still in the trunk just in case)
- No more diabetic medications - none!
- I am down about 4-5 sizes in clothing, depending of course on the clothing!
- Less pain in general. The knees still hurt sometimes, but nothing like before.
- A little less hair (yeah..it's thinning - need more protein)
- I discovered I have a collarbone!
I can't believe that 5 months ago I was in that icky place..wondering why in the world I did this to myself! But now, I am so happy that I did. I feel like a whole new person in a whole new world!! And I thank all of you for your support and prayers! I couldn't have done it without you.
Happy "Surgiversary" to me (I stole that from the 'Melting Mama' site!!).
P.S. That picture is me taken last week as I was calling BINGO at the Nursing home in Osseo. Not the best picture, but for some who have been asking for one, tis the best I can do for now!! (I'm wearing my old clothes, so I still look bulky)
