I weighed in this morning at 152 pounds. Wow! Isn't that amazing? I think so. Who would have ever thunk it? Me! 150 pounds! Certainly not me. And imagine why people think I'm nuts when I say I still see 250 pounds looking back at me in the mirror. I know it's a head game, I just read another post about head games. It will pass eventually. I can't wait.
I recently ended up having an emergency surgery for a blocked bowel. Can I tell you that I am a nurse and I have a high pain tolerance......this was the most awful pain I can ever remember having. Now of course everyone who heard about it, like my boss and some family members, had the same first thought..."It's because of that weight loss surgery....see I told you not to have it". I am here to tell you that it had absolutely nothing to do with my WLS. NOTHING!!! My WLS surgeon even called me the day before my surgery as I was in a different hospital and offered to have me transferred to his hospital to have him do the operation. I didn't feel the need because it had nothing to do with that surgery. I didn't have a bypass so I had nothing re-routed...I just had some of my stomach removed and the blockage and twisting of the bowel was way down in the right lower quadrant....no where near the sleeve. I'm healing slowly and I realize I am not as young as I once was but all in all things are okay.
I had 9 days in the hospital to reflect and think and shut up and listen, finally, to God. I truly think this had something to do with the fact that I don't listen to him enough even when he is talking to me in bold print!!!! But after this hospital stay there have been many more changes in our house and our lives....all for the better. So you can not find fault in that. I have three beautiful kids that I just adore and I wouldn't trade them for the world....okay I may think about a day or two when they are really wound up like today but for the most part it's all good.
That's it for me for today. Have a good one all.
