11 week update!! Woo Hoo!!
on June 27, 2011 4:29 am
Lovin' the scale!! Lost another 2 pounds! Don't know how, I haven't exercised in 2 weeks due to my back and hip hurting but am happy with the results. Would probably come off faster if I was exercising and I plan on starting back again today after work.

So now I am down 50.2 pounds!!

We did go to Dahlonega, GA Saturday and walk around some but I was in horrible pain until I could take some Advil.

How is everyone else doing?

Vits: Getting them all in including Calcium Citrate horse pills!
Water: Still working on getting more. If I don't get in at least 48 ounces in I have horrible leg cramps at nights.
Exercise: nada, but that changes today!!!
Food: Eating about the same stuff. I need to plan better. Still enjoying Eggface's Mug eggs, chicken, Laughing Cow cheese, Greek yogurt mixed into different things in place of sour cream, cottage cheese with fruit

Advice: Take your measurements before surgery and each month thereafter, take a before picture and then take a picture once a month, at least!!

10 week update!
on June 20, 2011 3:57 am
Lbs. Lost: 48.2!!  (all post op!)
Inches Lost: 35!!

I lost 3.6 pounds last week, weigh in was today. Amazing, since I hurt my back running and haven't done a thing. I am praising the Lord for losing weight.

My job is soooo very stressful and I have a hard time eating while there. I'm hoping I haven't really messed up my protein intake since I cannot tolerate the protein shakes. I have an interview today for Sleep Tech, let's hope this works out, everyone seemed so nice and this is what I went to school for.Starting over is difficult but it has to be better than what I am going through.

Everyone is finally noticing that I'm losing weight! My husband was right, I was still wearing the same clothes, pretty much a tent, how would they know I had lost weight wearing things like that? I put away my size 20's, some of my 18's, I'm in between 16 and 18, what a great place to  be!! I have begun wearing dresses and skirts to work so I don't have to buy more pants, I think I can get away with the dresses and skirts for awhile and...drumroll please....My thighs don't rub together as bad as they used to. I would never dream of wearing a dress or skirt all day for that one reason.

I am so very blessed to have had this surgery and to be able to lose this weight. Praying I will be able to exercise soon. I wanted to begin weightlifting like Brandi Wonderland, her arms look terrific but until my back cooperates, I better be patient.

Our support group is going wonderfully. I have written several phone numbers down to call and find a bigger place for us to meet. We have a very diverse group coming and we are all learning so much from each other along with lots of support.

Praise be to God!!

Wt. Loss Post op: 42
Liquid intake: pretty good, I get at least 48 oz. Need to step it up a bit!
Exercise: Lovin' Podrunner interval training. I am addicted. Never thought I would say that!! Currently on week 3. About to start some free weights to tone up my arms, shoulders and back.
Vites: Taking prenatal (not pregnant), flaxseed oil, Prilosec, Chewable calcium, chewable multi.
Food: Lovin' Eggface's Mug eggs for breakfast!
Tuna salad and Pork Rinds for lunch, yummy!!
Cheesesticks
Chicken Venezia tonight, new find, I"ll let you know how it goes. P.S. dry, hard to get down.

We ate at Red Robin Saturday. My husband got his regular Royal Burger with egg on it, yuck! And you can add an extra patty for only $1.99. So that is all my meal cost, of course I couldn't eat it all and we were going to continue to shop and it was too hot in the car for me to leave it for leftovers So my DH ate it for me. It was pretty good. I'm a cheap date for sure!!

Lovin' my sleeve!!
