TOTAL LOST:
# LBS GONE FOREVER!!!
Me and my husband, Bryan...
My name is Susie and I'm 36 years old. I have two children. My daughter's name is Ariel and she is 9 and my son is 15 months old. I guess I will start by telling you how I got all the weight I have on. First I was pregnant with my son back in 1999 I had him on Oct. 6th. I had lost all of my weight except 10 pounds. I was at 116 pounds. I got sick in the week of Christmas and was still sick on Christmas with some kind of virus. Well I got better from that and on Jan 3rd my husband got the flu. And then the baby got the flu he was only 3 months old and we had to take him to the emergency room I was also sick and they gain my some prescription and told me to go home and go to bed. While at the same time they were putting my baby in the hospital and had to put him in an oxygen tent. Well the doctor told me to call my husband because I was so sick and I didn't need to stay around the baby. ok I got home that afternoon and started taking the meds. that they gave me and they wouldn't stay down. My husband called my step mom and ask her to come and get my daughter so he could call an ambulance to come get me because I couldn't keep anything down and my temperature was 103.6 so she did and he called and they were there in 10 mins. In 10 min my temperature went up to 104.6 they were giving me all kinds of meds in the ambulance. Well they got me to the hospital and at first there were giving me that new flu medicine called tamiflu. and it was working. But then they finally got me a room sometime the next day well the nurses on that floor were no good. They lost my charts so they couldn't give me anything but Tylenol for one whole day while they tried to find my files. Well it went downhill from there. I got worst. It tuned into pneumonia and if that wasn't bad enough they ended up having to put me on a respirator to breathe because the nurses didn't listen to what the doctors said to do. well this whole time now they are giving me mega doses of steroids and a bunch of other meds. I stayed on the respirator for three days. Until they could get all of the fluids out of my lungs. I was in the hospital a total of 19 days. And they gave me steroids the whole time. and when I got to go home they had to wean me off of them so I was on them another 3 months. and it three months time I gained 27 pounds on top of the other 10 I didn't get to lose before I got sickI got up to 143 pounds I have been 106 pounds as far back as I can remember. I'm trying to lose the weight and my husband said to do the low fat no fat diet. and I have been doing that and I have lost 7 pounds as of right now. But it has taken me along time. I stayed at 137 for four months and I finally lost down to 134 last monday. well the scales said this morning I was at 136. so I guess that's were I am now. I was lucky enough to find the nice ladies on the boards here and Gin said she would send me the old ww program that she has maybe it will help me even more. I have been doing exercises. I like Denise Austin and now I'm stuck on Tae-Bo. and I ride my bike when it's warm enough for me and the baby. oh yes and my son Parrish is fine he got to come home from the hospital long before I did. I thank God that he took care of my son when I couldn't and I thank God that he gave me my life back so I could take care of my family. well that's my story and I no that I will lose this weight. Especially with the help of all the nice ladies on the boards. Susie
