It's March, already!
Mar 09, 2009
It's March, And already I've lost 71 pounds from my highest weight last august (307lbs.). I have been feeling lots better. I can go up and down the stairs without losing my breath. I can really get some work done around the house. I still have achy joints but hope that will start to come around when I start working out.
I had my surgery December 12, 2008. Everything went well. Stayed at the hospital until Friday (4 days).
Stayed on the liquid diet for the next two weeks, like I was supposed to. But I had a hard time staying with the soft food. I wanted to chew and crunch so much. So, I hit the solids a little too fast. Forgetting to chew enough, sometimes. Well, we know what happens then. But over all its been pretty easy. My eyes are still more hungry then what I can really eat. And I really miss sweets. I get such a headache when I do eat sweets I'm learning.
This last weekend I took my girls and 2 other girls (Daisy Girl Scouts) and another Mom to Girl Scout Day at the Minnesota Zoo. We had a blast. We walked and walked. I would not have been able to it if I hadn't lost that weight. After the Zoo, We went to Mall of America. We went on the roller coaster and the Log Chute. I went on them!! Yeah!! A very exhausting day. Can't wait for the next time.
I'm looking forward to biking with the family and with scouts this summer.

Surgery Coming?!
Nov 21, 2008
Well, Since my first post, I've had Gallbladder surgery to remove it. And I've foot surgery to correct my two toes that were Hammer Toed. Next Gastric-Bypass. Yes, I've switched to RNY. With the onset of Diabetes it seems to be the best choice. A little more scary but in the end the best solution.
My mother is very concerned about the destructive native of the internal workings of the human body.
But she has been fighting weight gain her entire life and has not been able to get down pass a size 18w in my lifetime (over 40 years).
This is the best way to go. I can do this!
My DATE is December 9, 2008!
I start the liquid diet on Tuesday next week. Two days before Thanksgiving. Mostly that's O.K. On Sunday, we'll be having dinner at Church. I'll still get the Turkey and gravy then.On thanksgiving, I might take a little pumpkin pie, no crust, and put it in my shake. Sounds good to me.
Talk to you later, Mary
