Wow have you changed my life!!!
Weight 173 lbs
Size 12/Medium And medium unisex scrubs HANG on me
Meds Lisinopril 10 mg BP now runs around 116/75
CPAP still need it :( but pressure is down to 9 cm.
I've said good bye to old addictions and much to my surprise...it's been quite painless.
Bye bye CHOCOLATE (OK I have been known to eat a mini bar now and then)
Bye bye DIET PEPSI. Not 1 sip or craving since quitting cold turkey in Nov. '07
New Addictions:
OH (yes...must sign on every few hours...STILL!)
Trader Joes- WLS patients DREAM STORE. I have discovered foods that I never heard of pre-op:
-Hummus- my fave new food
-Greek Yougurt
-Tofu(thanks Jenelle!)
-Buffalo Burgers- rock with 43 gms of protein!!!
-Chocolate covered Edamame YUM! YUM!! YUM!!!
-High heels- LOVE 'em
-Jeans- back in my closet after 10 long years
- my Elliptical- still need a stronger addiction,though.
I am so thankful that I found OH. 99% of what I know/have learned about WLS...I've learned right here. Thank you vets!!!
I do take a minute every day to thank Cigna and Dr. Teng for my new life.
Lastly...I have met some great Vegas girls that otherwise never would have been part of my life. Yes...WLS brought us together and I love you guys (Gina;Erin;Dana;Erica)
OK so heres to starting my 2nd year. I hope to reach goal(damn last 43 lbs) but more importantly....MAINTAIN!!!
And I don't see my addiction to OH lessening any time soon...so you guys are STUCK WITH ME!!!
LOVE YOU ALL! XOXOXO Barb
