Soo, I guess it has been too long! It is March now. I gave birth to a happy healthy very alert baby boy on Feb.4th! I had a very uneventful pregnancy. I gained a lot of weight (65lbs) throughout the whole pregnancy. I am one of those people that does not believe that I should be feeding the baby artificial sweeteners, so I know what caused me to gain the weight. I was induced at 39 weeks due to gestational hypertention although I have been under a load of stress. In the long run, baby and I are both in great health! Plus it has only been 7 weeks since I had the baby and I am now down 35lbs! So only 30 more to go before I get to my pre pregnancy weight! So I am going to start a workout rogram....... We'll see how that goes ;-)

I haven't updated in a while, but I thought I should share. I just found out last week that I am pregnant! We are very happy about this, and can't wait to see the doctor. I am going to see a high risk doctor due to the surgery and other medical issues that I have. I just want to take percausion. I will update again when I see my doctor.

WOW!!!! I cannot believe it has already been 1 year sense my RNY! Just to think at this time last year I was in a hospital bed with the worse gas pains in my life! LOL

I am so blessed to have made it through the surgery with no major side effects. I have lost  154lbs to date! I was in a tight 26 jean and wore some 28's and now I am in a 10! I was wearing 3x shirts, and I am in a M/L! I wear a size 10 dress, as for before, I did not wear dresses! So a lot has changed.

I have finally hit a really long stall! I say finally because I never had one last over a week, now it is almost a month and a half. I guess the body is making up for the time I did not have stalls. I did however do a 5 day pouch test and I lost a few pounds, but I am back to that darn stall. I did spend a lot more time at the gym yesterday, and I drank A LOT of water, I have a bad cold and I think I am retaining water, because I feel like I am so thirsty ALL the time!!! I did come down with this cold the day after my pouch test so it could be causeing the stall who knows. Plus I have been having some major fruit cravings, it seems lately like I cannot get enough, again could be the need for some extra vitamin C, not sure on that either. Well I am going to go out and play in the snopw with the kids, sense there is no sign of letting up! :)

So I have been noticing a whole lot of extra skin the past few weeks! I don't know when I will be ready for plastic surgery physically, but mentally I am ready now!!! I have the feeling when I am in the gym that my arm flaps will spring up and knock someone out! I had a consult, and the surgeon said I would benefit now, but I told him that I am still losing and I want to lose another 20-30lbs before I go ahead. until then I will just duct tape everything into place to bar any serious injuries to anyone running next to me on the treadmill at the gym! LMAO!!!! My breast (term used lightly!), well there is not much left at all. I told the surgeon that I am afraid to had the lift because if he takes away all the skin, I will have nothing left to put in a bra! least right now I can roll them up and stuff them in ( I know TMI). HAHA, well just stressing and venting about how bad I look now!

HAHA, Not for real but in my blogging I am behind! I am 11 months out from My RNY and I am down 152lbs!!!
I jumped on the treadmill today and I ran @8mph!!! Never would have thought that I could do that a year ago!
I really need to get some new pics up!  Don't be to shocked when I do, I went back to dark hair for winter ;)
I was just looking at my profile and noticed I was really behind on my updates and pics so I just wanted to say......
New ones are on their way.

On another note, I was craving some pasta for a while now so I broke down and went down "THAT" isle at the store. I noticed that Barilla has put out a "PLUS" Pasta. It is a multi grain and has protein and fiber in it. So I thought, heck I will give it a shot! IT WAS AWESOME!!!! I made a meat sauce with Laura's lean beef, and I still could not eat a lot, but I got my fill on pasta for a while I hope. I am trying more things now, which for a while I was in the rutt of eating only string cheese for 3 meals out of my 6. It is good to have a change in foods sense I am less scared of trying new things.
