Soooo I went to the DR for the big 3 month visit... They of course  make you feel like a rockstar everytime you are there.. Im lost a total of 70lbs (if you count the 10lb gain from surgery.. hey weight is weight in my book) Which means I only have.... 80 to go!! My first mini goal is to have lost 100 lb's by Christmas.. I dont know if it will happen but we will see. Eating has been going ok. I still drink my peach nectar protein w/ orange crystal light every am.. Its good!!!  Its been hard to count calories and protein since I dont eat everything in the serving but Im getting better on a good day I get 90g of protein and less then 1000 cal on a bad day I get 79g protein and less then 1200 cal's but that is usually a weekend day.. Those days seem to be bad for me. I think it is because the whole family is home and instead of making all these meals I just cook for them or we go out and I just eat off eveyones plate... cheaper yes, but I pay the price.. The gym has been good..I have started a new arm routine that my husband set up for me.. I soooo want to wear sleevless shirts and dresses and not worry about the wings. To be honest. I dont mind having plastics on my tummy and the girls but good lord I dont want it on my arms or thighs.. So I work them hard!!  I still do not eat eggs.. They really dont sound good and I just dont want to go down that road again.. My favorite meal ever is salad..  A little bit of romain and a lot of cheddar cheese and grilled shrimp..  I think I eat it every day!!  I Love it!! We do eat a lot of ground turkey because I just  can not get chicken moist enough to stay down.. I make sure it is the lean and it seems to stay down pretty well.. Brocolli does not stay down.. ughhhh  

So that is it in a nut shell.. I do not have to go back untill my one year. My B12 was right on for a normal person but about 200 points to low for "us" so... Im off to get a B12 shot.. I opted for the shot because I heard it helps with the elastisity of your skin.. So heck ya Im all for it!! I will have to update some pics soon.. We went to a halloween party this weekend and I think I might have a good shot somewher... :) Cheers to you...

I broke down and bought a new bra today.. It was getting sooo sad!! Anyway.. I went in and they measured me because I have stinkin clue what I wear now.. I used to wear a 44D... So imagine my suprise when the girl said.. oh my you are a 40B... Did you read theat right yep 40B!! My reply.. do they even make that size??  But of course they do.. I bought two new bras in hopes that they will at least last untill Christmas! I tell ya this weight loss surgery is spendy when it comes to new clothes!! I did go to old navy and I bought a new pair of size 18 sweetheart jeans.. LOVE THEM!!  They are not that oh look at my butt crack low but are perfect!!  And my husband said I finally have a booty again!!  3 month appt on Thursday Ill update more then!!  Take care
