Starting to get excited!
Mar 16, 2008
Well, I'm so excited. I'm fitting in a size 14 jeans and, they are real comftrable and a little loose in the legs.
I had another adjustment with Dr. Huerta and this time he did the swallow eval on me to see how tight my band is, and boy does it work. I feel like I'm really on my way now. People are starting to notice the wt. loss now. I've had a few comments from a couple of people. The best on was from my Family Dr. She walked in the exam room and her jaw dropped and she couldn't help but exclaim "Boy, you look good!" That felt really good. My cholesterol levals had come down so much and she was so amazed and proud, as was I. All of my lab work is normal now.
I am starting to gain more confidence every day and enjoy dressing up when I go out shopping now. Before I would try to wear clothes that would hide my size (as if that could acutally be done.) I didn't care if I put make up on or not. Now I want to look good when I go out.
I've really had to re-think the way I eat too. Instead of stopping at the 1st fast food resturant to get something to eat I have to look for something that I can eat. I've even gotten into the habit of asking for a to go box when I order because I know I can't eat all that is on my plate.
We have a suppot group on Thurs. and I can't wait to go. I always enjoy them so much. So until next time; stay healthy

Coming out of my shell and becoming part of society.

Ok, it's been a year since my surgery and I still don't like being around people much. I do enjoy the support groups I go to at Solutions. However I have had to miss 2 or 3 because I couldn't get off of work to go. I'm off this month and plan to go. I just recently started viewing the OH page after seeing the magazine in Dr. Huerta's office. I had forgot all about the site. So I've been checking it out. I'm trying to get my page set up but, don't really know how to do it and to navigate around it. Hopefully I will get better at it.
It's a scary thing for me to communicate with other people. But I will do it and get comftrable with it. So hang in there with me.
