10 month check-up

Posted 04-30-2010 at 04:33 PM by SueZ

Saw my surgeon this week and he says I am a poster girl (girl! Ha! Makes me giggle) for WLS. Sent me to ObesityHelp to write a review of him & his office & my experience. But...he did say something that I've been mulling over, and I think it's important. He said people who have been very successful sometimes get a little complacent and the weight sneaks back on. NOW is the time to really watch what I eat, pick wisely, follow rules, take the vitamins, exercise. I sure don't want to gain...

New Bras!

Posted 04-27-2010 at 07:49 AM by SueZ

I had a bra fitting at a fancy-schmancy lingerie shop near my daughter's Santa Ana home. We were visiting her last month. She took one look at me and set it up. What an eye opener. I had been buying...from Walmart, Target, Kohls...bras that I thought were pretty nice, fit Ok. But no. The second the fitter put me in a bra chosen for MY shape, MY size, I could instantly feel the difference. I had been buyin 40B's, rolling up the loose girls to compress and fit in the cups. Well guess what?...

The ride isn't over!

Posted 04-26-2010 at 05:44 PM by SueZ

I was ecstatic to fall below 200 pounds. I am beside myself to be at 169! The highest I weighed in the "bad" old days was 289...so that is a 120 pound loss. Wow!
I wear a large in t-shirts. A LARGE! and a 12 or a 14 in pants. The extra skin flopping around on my thighs, arms and belly doesn't bother me. Oh, if I were 20 years younger I might have it taken care of, but honestly...I look pretty good in clothes, and having my belly "tucked" would mean more scars, and...

One-derland..it's wonderful!

I know we aren't supposed to weigh ourselves often...even daily is apparently too much. But ever since I dropped below 200 pounds I've run to the scale several times a day, marveling at that 198 pounds! Whee!

4 months along.

Posted 11-08-2009 at 11:03 AM by SueZ

Wow, 4 months and one day ago....best thing I've ever done for myself! My torn stomach muscle is almost healed (take those surgeon's rules seriously, folks!) and I feel great. No meds, no pains, can eat most things, tho I'm careful. I don't want to experiment too much. Ate a couple of small bananas this week with no problem! The few times I've had a glass of wine I've gotten a bad headache so I'll put that off for awhile.

Whee! What an adventure...I'm turning into a clothes...
