And The Weight Is Dropping…

Published by Jana at 11:18 am under Semi-Daily Jibber

I cannot believe that I am down to 230 pounds! I cannot remember the last time I weighed this much! I am officially less than I was when Shawn & I got married! I am happier than happy…when it comes to that aspect of things.

I’m still not feeling 100% everywhere else though. I swear you’d think I’m pregnant with the “morning sickness” that I am suffering from…but that’s next to impossible with the oven being gone, but every morning…I’m so sick feeling. I’ve been having problems getting all my fluids in, but I’m trying…hard! And then getting my proteins in…yeah, right! So I’m mainly focused on my fluids right now…so I do not get dehydrated. I also need to start walking to get myself some more energy. Walking outside in this weather is almost impossible…so Shawn’s getting the treadmill set up for me.

Still not feeling that this was all worth it…but have to remember it’s still early, I’m not even 6 weeks out yet. It’s just depressing when you want to feel normal again…and you don’t. There are so many positive things, and I know I need to focus on those more…like I’m down a jean size, bra size, and shirts that were tight on me before surgery are now fitting me! So my biggest goal is to be positive, and focus on the positive, and stop dwelling on the negative and get my butt moving…literally!

…until we blog again…

Lotsa hugs!

    Congrats on the weightloss!

    I’m sure you’ll be feeling back to your old self soon. It’s just going to take your body a little time to recover from the shock of surgery.

    :hug Hey Jana girl. BLESS YOUR HEART. I can only imagine how tough this recovery is. I watched a documentary on Discovery Health a couple of years ago – a lady who was on this same journey. Sigh. There were numerous complications for her. I so prayed it would not be like that for you but so far, it’s been tough. I really pray your body will recover quickly and be adaptable to the changes and requirements since surgery. It’s tough to not feel good, and have to keep persevering as a mom. Hang in there and try to meet your medical requirements such as the hydration and protein. I don’t want you to end up hospitalized again with additional troubles. Sigh.
    You’re looking good and I know when clothes start fitting properly, it sure feels good! I know that makes you smile and feel good despite the medical hurdles right now. I’ll be glad when your physical well-being matches your purtiness!! :D

    Hugs

    So happy for you..you now weigh less than me by 14 lbs. wahh lol I am relieved you recovered from the complications that you had in the hospital and things are coming along as you adjust. I know its a slow process..It will come off for you and imagine the possibilities and better health you are going to have!

    Jana, I can sortof relate to the not feeling good part. After my heart surgery in November, I honestly was misconceived to think I would all of a sudden feel better and my heart wouldn’t give me problems. But the reality was, is that the doctor said it could take months. That the healing process is just that. There are so many days I feel awful and my heart wants to act up. I think we both need to look at the big picture taking one day at a time. You are already seeing the benefits and as for me, I am already on 1/2 the medicine I was on. I’m still not well, but my FAITH is strong. Hang in there gal!
