It has been a really busy time and I haven't been on here much. First of all, I'd spent a few weeks getting my classroom ready for a new year...and as well, I've just finished my first week of school. September is always exhausting!! My two classes are pretty good. I just have one student who is really going to test out my patience supremely. He definitely has behaviour problems - a sort of "I'll do what I want" attitude. Hopefully I can get him in line.
Second, my Father-in-Law has been in the hospital - chest pains and severe gout so that has meant visiting the hospital every day which has completely changed our schedule. He has some heart blockages and was told that he could either leave his life in "God's hands" (no knowing how long he has left) or have a Triple-Quad bypass in Mississauga. He has triple the risks of most patients being 79 with diabetes and congestive heart failure. He has passed on the surgery and has been home now for a day.So as you can see, things have been hectic.
In terms of my physical state, I am just the same pretty much. Can eat pretty much what I want to but in small quantities. No throwing up or anything like that. I have had more incidents of just my pouch feeling "uncomfortable" and find it is when I eat anything with bread like a pita for instance. For lunch, I've either been talking left overs from the night before or tuna. There are these great little cans of tuna that hav flavours to them - like tomato and onion, lemon and dill...that sort of thing. They are just perfect. I can eat the whole can (they are smaller than regular tuna cans) and a cheesestring which works out to something like 21 grams of protein. No incidents of ightheadedness lately except just one time when I was at the hospital.
I celebrated my 36th birthday on Wednesday and my Mother and Father gave me $100 to spend at Penningtons for some new clothes. Both Mom and I had $25 gift certificates as well and she gave me hers too. So I spent them all plus another $150 of my own money. I got 2 pairs of pants - black and navy with very thin silver lines on them, some socks and about 5-6 shirts. It was so nice to shop. I think I spent 2 hours trying on clothes and it was actually FUN for a change. Yay!
I've had many staff members and parents of students comment how great I looked. I've had three actual Mom's come up to me one-on-one to ask me about my weight loss. I was very honest with them. I'm not at all embarrassed about this surgery and refuse to act like I am. They were quite interested and asked me questions about it.
NEW PICTURES!! This is the outfit I wore the first day of school
