WOO HOO

I finally did it; I hit the 100 pound mark this morning!  I have lost 101.2 pounds!  I still can't believe it.

I have been having computer problems and just generally feeling kind of blah the last couple of weeks so I haven't really been posting much to any of my groups.  I have seasonal defective disorder but mine is based on summer months so the heat is kind of miserable.

It was confirmed by my surgeon last week that I do indeed have a hernia.  We are taking a "wait and see" approach because if I can hold off until I lose the rest of my weight, I can get a "two-fer" and have the hernia fixed and a tummy tuck at the same time.  I would love to be able to afford to take the nine or 10 hours in the OR and have everything done at once but I don't see that happening.  Anyway, I kind of look like I'm 7 months pregnant but the fat I've lost out of my face is really showing my true age, which is almost 50.  I can live with that and for the time being, a really good bra works wonders!  LOL!

For today, I'm enjoying the morning; the cat is laying across my lap while I type, I have my morning coffee (thank goodness my surgeon says he doesn't care about caffiene intake) and will be getting ready for church very shortly.  I'm seriously considering making a "quickie" skirt for church this morning, but don't know if I have the energy for that or not.  We'll see.

I've missed you all the last week or two and I hope everybody is doing well.

Congratulations on hitting over 100 lbs down!!!!!! How awesome! WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!
In a way you are lucky that you can combine the hernia repair with skin removal.. it saves a lottttt of money in the long run! Not only will your bump on your tummy be gone.. but the excess skin as well.. You'll take a look and feel like you must be seeing someone else..lol

It's great to hear from you. I have missed seeing you around and reading your posts. I hope your mood lifts for you. Know we care!

I have been missing your posts Colleen, glad to hear that you are ok.  I know about the 'in the dumps' moods, have them myself too.  Do come and share a couple of times a week if you can.  Congrats on hitting the century mark. 

Waiting and watching on the hernia is good for now, do call your MD if it seems to be causing any troubles.  Hugs for the blahs.
