Recovered - Again

Jan 10, 2009

 I think I am fully recovered this time from my surgery of 11/17/08.  What is the saying: "Third time is the charm"?  As for me, I hope so.  My weight this morning is 120.2 and I am proud of that.  I would like to stay this size.  I have to admit - I never dreamed from the beginning of this journey that I would have gotten this small.  It seems as if all of my life that I have had a "butt" but I don't have one now.  It has vanished.  Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining.  I have a lot of energy and am beginning to enjoy life once again.  I returned to work on 01/05/09 for the 1st time in 3-1/2months - a bit scary - people did not recognize me.  I  still have eating problems - throwing up - but I just don't know what to do about that.  I will be seeing my surgeon on Tuesday to let him know what is going on.  It seems that my food does not move out soon enough.  Also, I am going to have to start a journal on my eating - I hate to have to do that - but I will.  I have gone from size 24-26 pants to size 8/10 pants. I can wear Jr size tops - Medium.  My shoe size has gone from a size 8 to a size 7.  It is really expensive to re-clothe yourself from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet.  I have found some really nice clothing at our local Hospice Attic and will continue to look for more good bargains.  I will be posting some new pics later.
