It has been six months since my life took the most amazing turn, down the most amazing road, for an amazing journey....amazing isn't it? I've had my six month checkup and all looks good. Labwork has been drawn, weight and measurements taken. I am down 92# from my highest weight and I feel great!
So many people have said some pretty bizarre things. I realize I look different. I hope I look better....I know I can never explain the difference in the way it feels. I see an old lady that looks alot like the young lady I was 25 years ago when I started at Erlanger.
I do ask that my friends stop and think before they say anything to anyone else that may have this procedure done. Run it through your head before it comes out your mouth. Compliments are great! Even if you think "OMG HOW SKINNY!" say something like...." the weightloss sure has brought out the color of your eyes!" "Hey skinny" isn't really appropriate...that is, unless of course, you said "Hey fatty" when I was fat. "You are TOO thin" is a no no...did you say "You are TOO fat"? "I think you've lost enough weight"...really? When did you become my doctor? Are you an expert on weightloss surgery? Do you study BMI, excersise, and psychology of an overweight person? Come on people! I know I am a happy go lucky person but inside there is still a layer of feelings that you will never understand unless you've walked in a fat girl body. Know that some of your other friends that haven't been so forth coming on the procedures they have done, won't tell you for a reason. With that being said, I still am an open book. I will tell you what you want to know. I'm not shy. Be prepared for I am crass and bold.
I haven't done the "official" measurements of the month and therefore can't give you a total inches lost but I will say I have lost 6 dress sizes and can SQUEEZE into the 7th size! I can't breathe but they do zip:)! My cholesterol isn't down as far as I wanted it to be but evidently genetics are playing a bigger role than I wanted it to. I will be following up with my cardiologist on that but all the other labs are right where the doctor wants them.
I am proud of my "babies" that are coming in behind me and doing SO good! I won't call you out on fb cuz I know some of you may have crazy friends too!! LOL Hang in there for each day gets better and better! Not to mention you will see a difference as you morph into a new person all around. You are all looking SOOOOO good! I hope to see us all together next week:)
BTW Sherita I love you for being my biggest fan!!!!
