Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 hi everyone. well since my surgery 12/30/03 I have lost 30 pounds. I love it....I am still on my HMR shakes. They are really getting boring but i have to live with them for 2 more weeks...I just want to eat anything other than these shakes... I hope that is normal..lol because I still want food bad.. WILL POWER NORA..is what i keep saying..it works. I am not craving really anything just want anything like cheese or meat...I am taking my Vitamins everyday..so i am doing good. I work out everyday..I walk in the morning and lift weighs at night for 30 mins.. I also do 100 situps everyday too. I feel so good after i work out. I can't wait for my hubby to come home from Baghdad and see me..I was 291 at the surgery now 260...I wanted to be at 250 by the time he comes home I will so pass that..he comes home in 4-6 weeks..He was gone a long time.... My girls keep me really busy. so that is good..I feel I can keep up better with them..Vitmans work great for that too..I will try to post a picture tonight...I am going on Depo next week so I don't get preggo when hubby comes home..lol. I have 2 beautiful girls lauren is 6 1/2 and Kaelynn is 3 1/2. We were trying like crazy to get pregnant before he left but it wasn't happening..Then he left and I had my surgery.. And now I am REALLY looking at my life with my girls and I don't want another baby.. Both girls want a brother bad, But I am working so hard to get thin and in 12-18 months My insurance will pay for my Full body lift.. ANd i don't want to get fat again while pregnant.. I am so happy with my girls.. will be almost 9 and Kaelynn almost 6..And to have another.. I know I am only 27 but I have feeling happy. I am not getting fixed or anything I just am thinking sane.. Haven't told this to Alan..lol he is really easy guy.. He retires from the military in 3 yrs.. I am sorry don't have really anybody to chat with, I have so much talking and thinking to myself.. Has anyone felt this way after surgery about not having any more kids? Just wondering... I am doing great and love reading everyone's posts they help me alot... Someone asked me what Is something you have alwayed wanted to do after you are skinny and couldn't do overweight.. I would love to Sing..I have been told by everyone you should pruse your singing. I was to heavy to make anyone hear me... Britney Spears has nothing on me... So that is my dream...My girls are in love with Hilary Duff. And my older daughter says mom you sound like her.. Maybe one day.... What is everyones dream, now that your losing weight? ok better stop talking i could go on..lol.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Well Lenora I can relate to not wanting to have anymore kids. Although I was done long before I had surgery. I have two and I love them dearly but they drive me crazy sometimes (well most of the time). Even though they are older now (20 and 17). I swear I thought it would be easier when they are older but it is not. Just alot more expensive!! OK so for my dream......this may kind of shock some people. But when I was a kid if I could have afforded it and had I had a family who would have supported me doing this I would have loved to go to Law School. I always wanted to be a Lawyer. I am currently debating going for it. Now I will turn 40 soon. So I will be really old by the time I finish ) I always thought I would have done it by now. But I got married young and then had a child. Ok I still could have gone. But my former spouse was a very unreliable jerk. So I had to work. Then the second child came along. He has a rare form of autism and required HUGE amounts of my time and energy. Then I got divorced and had to raise them both by myself and work and everything that goes with being Mommy and Daddy. I felt they didn't get enough of me already and Dad was long gone. So I didn't want to short change them further. So again I put it off. Then when they were older I thought ok soon I can do it. But with puberty came big problems with my son and I actually had to stop even working to take care of him. Not that he can't do things for himself. He can. But autism can create some major behavior issues and when the school is calling you to come and pick him up from school three or four days a week employers tend to frown on you. So again it had to be put off. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining. I would not trade my life for anything. I adore my husband and my kids. But now I think it may actually be my turn. Daughter is in college. Son is doing well and actually has been able to have a part time job for almost 2 years. Doing good in school , no behavior issues. Plus he is learning to drive and soon won't even need me for taxi service. Hubby is just about to graduate with his Master's. Law School is the dream. I have considered doing something in the field. Maybe as a paralegal. School for that is two years and then you go to work. But it's not my dream you know? I worry that I will feel cheated if I do that. On the neg my hubby is going straight from his Master's into a doctorate program and my daughter is going from BA to Master's to Doctorate. Now we are a military family so you can imagine the debt we are incurring with all of the college we have going on. That doesn't include my son who will (god willing) also be going in another 18 months. I guess the cost is right now the biggest thing holding me back. Candi update on ME!!!! long hi everyone. well since my surgery 12/30/03 I have lost 30 pounds. I love it....I am still on my HMR shakes.
