I found a pair of 14 JEANS that fit me really well....I love them so much I don't want to take them off!!.
Everyone Is telling me that they can see a change.  I feel healthier and have more energy. I feel off if I don't exersise one day!.
My daughter was cleaning her closet and brought over some of her old clothes..I never thought I would be borrowing from her!!. well, not quite yet, but I will fit into them soon.    ( although she is 5'7 and a size 8.) so I may have to bring the length of the jeans up a few inches.  She tells me, Im going to get to about a 3 or 4.. still dont beleive her.. well see....well see....

Hi all, things seem to be getting better.  My energy is finally starting to come back (but still not totally)  Am starting to venture out in foodland a little.  Went out for breakfast for the first time since surgery.  I was really nervous about that, but it was all good.  I took 3/4 of a 2 egg omlette home and ate for 2 more meals.  My body lets me know if I've eaten too much or too fast!  Take care all -

Hi all, YAY!  today my scale moved down 3 lbs. - needless to say, I was quite pumped about that, since I've been stuck for two weeks!!  Not sure what happened, but I had the worst night since my surgery.   When I went to bed, I couldn't sleep -AT ALL- I had pain in my pouch, nauseated and such, wasn't sure what was going on, ended calling in sick for work, and I hate doing that! but first, I hurt, then I didn't sleep all night, so didn't have a choice!   Later, I realized that I had sinus drainage, and the post op info that I read, said that this can made you really nauseated, so I took a Bendryl, went to bed, and when I got up, I have felt fine all day.  Come to think of it, I had a lot of energy today, did my walk, cleaned, did laundry, cooked.   It was like I was back!!!
Have a wonderful week all!

Hi all, today is Friday - Yay!!  I'm starting to get some of my energy back so am looking forward to being more active.  My scale is still stuck at 40 lbs. , but I'm thankful for that much!  All I can do is keep on truckin', - I'm getting in my water and protein so not much more I can do (except - be more active) maybe that will move things along!  People notice the weight loss, and that feels really good, and I'm having to get smaller clothes so maybe I'm losing inches instead of lbs.  Well, I'm going to stop complaining now,   --  write more later!

Well, I knew this day was coming,  and It did. Boy did I get wore out!!. I work at a busy hospital downtown St Paul, So my job is basically running around the hospital preforming EKG's and Stress Tests.  I worked a full 8hr day, and went right to bed for about a good 3 or so hour "nap".. got up and had some supper, and feel a little better.    Good thing I only work Monday's, Friday's and Every other Saturday.  I bought a scale last week, and am trying NOT to step on it EVERY day, but Its hard when you have a goal in mind, and you know you are following a diet.   Well, Total now, I am around 40lbs lighter!. One Month out. woo hoo!..
