What a difference a few months makes!

Feb 01, 2012

So i am a few days shy of 3 months.  It is so amazing all the differences that i see now.  I have so much energy and i wake up before anyone else in the house without an alarm.  Before surgery I hated to hear the alarm go off, I was always tired.  I was super grouchy in the mornings.  My husband made a comment to me yesterday, he said you wake up earlier and happier whats going on.  LOL!  Im just not exhausted anymore.  Its great.  I have my first cold since surgery right now and i feel kinda crappy and tired from being sick but im still up early and happy so it is just a great feeling.  I did my 3 month progress pics, because i can tell a little that im smaller but not as much as pictures show me.  So i will try to post the pic here. 
I want so bad to go outside and just move.  That can be partly the wonderful weather we have been having and partly im so full of energy i dont want to be stuck in a house all day.  My house is the cleanest it has ever been because i get so bored now.  I cant stand to sit still for too long.  I love that!  I used to be content to do nothing but now i want to be living and enjoying everything i can.  I love that i can enjoy my life instead of just surviving it.  Its such a great change.  I have an appt with my surgeon on tuesday and i hope he is pleased with my progress.  I know i dont lose as fast as others but im constantly lossing and no gaining so im super pleased.  I am a little anxious because they had me retest my iron and protein and potassium 2 weeks ago and i havent heard the results yet.  They said my iron was low and i was anemic(mind you im not tired at all and do not feel like its low but im not a dr so whatever)  so it makes me wonder if my iron was higher would i have even more energy(not sure i could handle any extra energy,lol)  So i will feel much better once i get my results back.  I have been awful at getting all my vitamins in.  I take either all my multi and calcium and no iron or half multi and calcium and iron.  Cant seem to get all in everyday.  I know i have to work harder at that and get it under my belt.  Im so excited to go clothes shopping, all my pants are super baggy and look aweful on me.  I have a saggy butt in them and so much extra material.  I will be excited to see what size i really am.  I started out with 26 that were so tight i would be holding my breath to zip them now im in 24 that are falling off me.  I can wear 2x tops now and they fit great.  My 3 and 4x clothes are huge i need to bag them up and donate them.  Well i dont have much else to say!  Im just so glad i had this surgery!  I cant imagine how much i have missed out on because i didnt have this sooner but i will be living my life to the fullest everyday to make up for it!
