Week 11 Update

Jul 15, 2011

I only  have 25 more pounds left to go! This will put me at my surgeons goal.I am weighing in at 175.8, and everything seems to be going well. hopefully it will stay that way.I seem to tolerate everything, but eggs, and to be honest I haven't tried them in over 6 weeks. I don't think I dump, but I really don't test the issue. I accidentally drank this lemonade I thought was sugar free though and it was not, and I drank a ton of it and did not dump. If I eat too much, I will get very sick though and feel like crap, so I don't usually eat as much as I am supposed to.I am nervous this will be a problem, because I do not take my protien suppliments like I should, and I dont get enough on my own. I guess we will see in a few weeks when I have my 3 month labs.
I am praying everything will be normal. I am not exercising like I should be though. I figure I will start that when I start to hit plateaus. My husband and I keep talking about whether to have more children or not, because I was infertile for 5 years. I think we will end up trying because we both don't feel as if our family is complete yet, but  my youngest will be 6 in December and my oldest is 12 in a month, so starting over seems like a grueling task. I guess only time will tell. I feel skinny some days but I still feel fat too. I loathe the excess skin on my arms and tummy and thighs. My arms arent horrible, and they would probably be less noticable with exercise, but my stomach and thighs are a train wreck. I do not think my insurance will pay for plastics, so I think that is out of the queastion for me.I guess I will just have to deal with the excess skin. The sad thing is I know I would be down another pant size or 2 with it gone in my stomach. It is amazing though that I can feel people look at me now (just passerbys), when before I was invisible. Makes me feel good. Also I notice that people are more apt to come up and randomly talk to me. Does being thinner make me more approachable? I guess so.
