Topic: RE: Weekend Update!
Hey, Megen! Sorry it took me so long to respond. I'm just now sitting for longer periods of time at the computer.
It feels w-e-i-r-d!!! Before surgery I had a belly full of fat. After WLS I had a hernia poking out so always wore a girdle type band. After hernia surgery I still wore the girdle type support. This week I finally got to take it off and it feels w-e-i-r-d!!! It's pretty near flat there now and I don't feel "safe". It feels like something is missing...Yea!!! My f-a-t!!! LOL!!!!
My incision is still a little tender so I haven't tried my higher waisted pants on yet but I have tucked my shirt into my low rise jeans and worn a belt! Awesome feeling! I just ordered me some new dress pants and a jean jacket. Can't wait to get them!
Congratulations on your success! You're doing so well.

Talk about looking awesome! You are georgeous, girlfriend. Life is definitely better on the losing side of life, eh? I need to get another picture done. Everyone tells me I'm going through the mid-life phase. I'm wearing size 8 - 10's and I've turned blonde with highlights! Never in a million years did I ever think I'd do that but you know what? I luv it!
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Post lots of pictures. Where are y'all going on your honeymoon????

Wahoo! 7 days isn't that long. Are y'all ready??? :wink:
This week has been a busy one for me. I'm finally slowly getting back on my feet from hernia surgery as you all know. Now I'm behind in everything here at home in the housework department. I've come to the conclusion that my family is spoiled rotten. They don't know how to do dishes, laundry, floors, etc. Can't imagine what the place is going to look like until I'm off my 6 week limitations! Anyhow, I'm not going to worry about it. Somehow we will survive.
Instead I've been concentrating on my writing and artwork. Drum roll please! I've been given the opportunity to have my very own art exhibit here in town. My sketches and paintings will be hung for the entire month of June, 2007 at the Arts and Humanities Gallery. I am so excited and nervous. This is my very first hanging!!! But now I have to create sketches and paintings to sell. That means the next several months of sitting at my drawing table. Of course, I'll hate that...lol.
Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hi Vickie and congratulation. Is any of this covered by your insurance, if you don't mind me asking. I am just starting to look into the tummy tuck myself. Keep us posted.

I have always heard liver is a good thing to eat for iron if you can aquire a taste for it. Don't you have blood work done every 3 months? My doctor requires that so he can stay ontop of any deficencies that may arise. Good luck with your wedding and may you live happily ever after.

I just posted this to vickie. I am going to copy and paste it, because it goes with your post....
Funny you posted that Vickie. On my way home last night I started feeling really cold but burning up. I turned Bright WHITE and didn't even have enough strength to push the gas peddle down without my leg shaking.
I didn't think I was going to make it home. I got up the steps, shaking uncontrolably. Brad sat me down and said I was pale as a ghost. He got me some cranberry juice and gave me a tablespoon full of honey. After 5 minutes I began to feel better. The butt of my jeans and the back of my shirt were soaked with sweat.
I think my sugar dropped, but I am awfully pale and sleepy as hell. I think my iron is very low. Maybe I need to get my blood checked and soon.
Any suggestions on what type of foods to eat to up my iron levels?
