I'm starting over.Its been over a year since my last post. Here is the run down.
I have had a new port put in at 10 months post op. I had my gall bladder taken out at the time the port was redone. I had almost all of the fluid taken out during that surgery.
I have had a couple of unfills. The last time I had a fill the strangest thing happened.

My gallbladder is functioning @ 10%. Dr said that isnt even working. Dr contributes rapid weight loss as the cause. On to another surgery. Second one this year if you count the breast biopsy. Hopefully my port will get fixed at the same time since I rquested my lap band surgeon. :) At least i know the pain wasnt imagined.

My scale worked great. It was off only .2 from the Drs office so I was happy. This morning, I got on a scale and had an ALL TIME LOW!!! A low I haven't since since January 2 or 3rd of 1999 after leaving my husband and losing weight. How excited was I this morning? Woohoo I couldn't believe it.

I got a bit wrapped up in the holiday and got to spend four days with my girls. My little runt is finally talking up a storm. She had me in tears so many times over the last few days. I couldn't be prouder of her accomplishments. Granted she is almost 2 and is barely talking, but now she is making up for lost Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06269672991048771990noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106260393140921003.post-24424909375677300902010-11-24T08:49:00.005-07:002010-11-24T10:37:17.950-07:00What I am Thankful forMy daughters: I love you girls more than you will ever know or can possibly imagine. The two of you have made my life complete. You girls, will always be my love and joy. You are also my greatest accomplishment in life.

Lately I had noticed a little bump on my port scar. Its been there for a couple of weeks or so possibly longer. I didn't mention it to the Dr because it never even entered my mind. My Dr said it looks like I have a stitch trying to come out. I then remembered the bump that is kind of like a pimple Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06269672991048771990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106260393140921003.post-75297309443440572072010-11-22T20:48:00.001-07:002010-11-22T20:48:44.122-07:00THANK YOU SANTA AMEY!WOW! Nothing else can be said. Amey sent me two of the biggest boxes of clothes. You can literally fit my but in the box that's how big they are. I feel like it is Christmas already.

It was pretty uneventful which I am grateful for. I got 2ccs for a total of 6 ccs in my 14cc band. I lost five pounds these last six weeks. I will take it. Especially since I did have a gain in there and my weekend full of buffets. So I will take my loss and smile about it. I am now at a total loss of exactly 66 pounds since my journey started. That loss does includes Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06269672991048771990noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106260393140921003.post-56965951798244971352010-11-18T12:39:00.003-07:002010-11-18T15:37:59.236-07:002nd fill coming up and I want a miracle!Read the following article and tell me what you think.
Its Not About Restriction by Dr. Terry Simpson on Losing the Fluff Blog
This post has stayed with me since I first saw it. I even have it bookmarked on my phone. I am not sure how I found it and I haven't done any research on the author, but something completely stood out for me. I did have an appointment to see Dr. Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06269672991048771990noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106260393140921003.post-77410017875757175292010-11-17T12:15:00.000-07:002010-11-17T12:15:11.438-07:00Life isn't perfect, but life is good. =)That is my facebook status today. I know life will never be perfect, but I definitely have a great life.
I finally feel like I am back in control. Everything else is just a speed bump that is going to slow me down, but I can get over those.
Life is good!!!
