ALMOST 1 YEAR UPDATE…KINDA LONG
Hello everyone, well July 2nd will be a year for me and what a year it has
been.
I have lost 186 pounds YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I have gone from 356 lbs. to 170 lbs. and feel wonderful.
Really haven’t had any problems to speak of except my hernias even though I
had hernia repair in February there are back which bites and they hurt worse
this time around. (but if this is the worse side effect I ever have I will be
happy happy) I can do things I never thought I would be able to do again,
like walk w/o getting out of breath, our daycare class went to the zoo last
week and I actually kept up with the kids that were in my group. It was great
and they loved it since I didn’t have to stop and take a rest every 10
minutes these kids are all school age so they can sure go go go and so did I.
I can fit in booth at a restaurant, I can drive comfortably now, I can see my
feet, shave my legs without killing myself, my hubby can finally pick me up
which he thinks is funny cause now he just moves me out of his way when we
are rough housing. I can do it all. My health problems are gone I actually
have low blood pressure now. went from 180/100 to 110/60. no more heart
palps, no more joint pain. I don’t dump can handle all foods except anything
Cajun.
I hope to have a panni done within the next 6 months, along with hernia
repair again. Would also like to have a breast lift not a reduction just a
lift gotta talk to insurance about paying for these things though. I hope
they will my belly and breasts hurt all the time from hanging. My breasts
went from a 52 I to a 38 DD which is still not accurate since one is a whole
lot bigger than the other. Has anyone every had one that is like 2 sizes
bigger than the other?
I still haven’t gotten use to people calling me skinny or giving me
compliments, I still see myself as huge, I am sure over time I will see
myself as I am. I have some friends that are now looking into WLS and I
encourage them all to go for it.
Anyway that’s about it for my update if you are doing research or just wanna
talk feel free to email me.
