...pretty well. Went to the doc last week (my GP) and he said my cholesterol is still high (240!) but all of my other numbers look good. I think the high cholesterol is from eating chocolate. What else could it be? I don't eat much else, ha ha. My knee still hurts too. Wearing the brace much of the time.

But overall, am doing well. My weight seems to have stabilized and the vomiting is also stabilized as long as I eat slowly and chew thoroughly. I am still at about 144. I love my new weight! It's what I weighed in high school! I'm looking forward to going back to my high school reunion this fall!

.....since I've entered any info here. Can hardly believe it, but my Dad has been sick and I've been staying with them helping out. He's doing better now so we are all grateful.

I'm now down to 144 pounds. I am REALLY happy about it!!! That means I have lost almost 100 punds...about 96, which is amazing to me.

I am wearing size 8 pants now, also incredible. I've been shopping at the local Salvation Army thrift store and buying cool name brand cropped pants for a fraction of the price.

I don't throw up much anymore at all. I do get full really fast though and this is what's keeping my weight down. Since I'm living with my parents now, there is a lot of up and down the stairs and helping out with lots of things, so it keeps me jumping. Plus my parents eat their meals really fast, so it only gives me a few minutes to get a couple of bites down, ha ha.

I've been taking walks, trying to every day, at least around their neighborhood. I put my membership at the YMCA on hold while I'm away. So at least I'm doing something to keep some muscle tone. Also lift a tiny 3 pound weight and am taking my vitamins.

I didn't throw up for about 10 days, but then threw up two days in a row....sigh.

Going to see my surgeon next week.....this will be my 6 month check-up.  Got my

blood work done today, so will be anxious to see what he thinks. Am VERY happy

with my weight though. I'm at a sort of plateau it seems. Am still  'stuck' at 154 pounds,

but that's okay. Would like to go to 149 or 150, but believe me, that is not all that necessary.

I weigh 154 according to my scale. Am tickled pink. Feeling good and fitting into size 10 pants! Amazing.

My knees still hurt somewhat though...sigh.

Going to the doctor on March 5 (or is it March 6th?). I had to change my appointment, but am excited to see what he has to say. I get very full, which is so good for me. Can hardly eat a fraction of what I used to. Such a relief, but eating out in a restaurant is tough unless I just get soup. Can't eat fast AT ALL. YAY for the Gastric Sleeve!!!!

....at the end of February. That will be a good thing. Got to ask him about this vomiting. I may have to have an endoscopy to find out more. Just not sure if it is due to eating too fast, but maybe it is. My gall bladder surgeon suggested this idea.

I was at 155 this morning....amazing. I looked back at this blog and see that I have lost 20 pounds since Thanksgiving, which was November 22, so just over two months ago (9 weeks). Wow!

Kinda bummed that my capri pants are now too big. I am waiting to buy anything else until I stop losing. I have lots of pants now that are too large.

49ers lost the Superbowl tonight....bummer! Going up north to see Gwen tomorrow.  :)
