TUESDAY May 20, 2008 * 8 weeks out from surgery
down 51 pounds this morning * weight 255 pounds
I can't tell you how happy I am with my RNY.  I finally feel like I have some control over things. It is simply amazing the way this surgery works and the benefits from it. The main reason I have never been able to stick with a diet for very long was hunger. With this, I have to remind myself to eat, I have to make myself get in all my water, vitamins and protein. I am simply amazed, I am 8 weeks out from surgery and down 51 pounds! WOOHOO! I am hoping to be down to 250 by the end of this month or at least by the time we go to Carowinds on June 7th. I hit a long stall earlier this month and I hope that is over with. I realize they will come along, BUT it still drives me crazy! 
I am out of MOST of my 3X's, except for those that run really small. I can wear most of my 2X's,, except for those that run really small...lol. I have a pair of jean cut off shorts I am hoping to get into soon, they are a size 20 and way too tight right now, I'll update when I can fit into those....lol... 
I am sitting here thinking about the past 8 weeks, I went from 306 to down under 300, that was cool. Then into the 280's, then 270's then 260's then now into the 250's, it is SOOOO FREAKING COOL! 
I have had people ask about WOW MOMENTS, so here they are
WOW MOMENTS:
* I was vacumming and my panites fell off! Yep, it happened, I was shocked and stood there giggling! 
* To realize I weigh at least 25 pounds LESS than what my driver's license say I do, (I fudged by 36 pounds then, said I weighed 280 when I was 316)...you ladies can relate I am sure, what woman tells the truth with that????
* My pants coming off without unbuttoning or zipping them! 
* Sitting in church Wednesday night I crossed my legs, my husband looked at me and I realized what I had done! OMG, that was so cool!
* I actually have a lap my Bible will fit onto now, I can rest my Bible on my lap instead of my belly!
* The bra extenders are off all my bras now! YIPPEE(I think...lol..I know this is due to losing weight in that area, some of the girth, not just the tits...lol)
* There is plenty of room between my belly and the steering wheel now, it used to rub the steering wheel...YUCK!
* I had two people in ONE day(Sunday) call me skinny...NOW, that in it's self is hilarious! NOBODY is skinny at 257 pounds! That is what I weighed Sunday!
I AM SURE THERE ARE MORE AND I WILL ADD AS I REMEMBER OR THEY HAPPEN...LOL
