I am running into the shower before church but I just wanted to check in and send best wishes to all of my OH "Buddies." Your words of advice and encouragement really make this journey a complete  joy! Even on a "down" day I stop into "Bariatric Buddies"  and get the lift I need from your fun stories and blogs.

How do you like the new pic? I LOVE it! For once I look like the me I see in my head, if that makes any sense. I will find out what I weigh on Tuesday, but my clothes are definitely LOOSE! So either way I am happy enough to consider starting up my "Walking" videos again to keep this weightloss going and rev up my energy.

Well I better jump in that shower!

Love you guys,
Tania

Well after such a busy week today I slept in and took a nap. Wow. We did go see a movie "District 9", it was good, but I didn't find it great. (Many of my friends/family did, so maybe it is just DH and I.)

Not much to say today. I didn't lose an weight yet today, but I'm not seating it. I just keep wanting to pinch myself thinking about LONG TERM WEIGHT LOSS. wow. Anyway, besides feeling a little lazy, I am doing pretty good.

Back to work Monday for a few days training, then a couple of days of room organizing and prepping for a new grade/new year. Exciting!

Well, my family helped me move all of my school stuff to my new classroom! I have too much stuff! Now it's time to get in there and organize it! They even volunteered to come back and help during the next two weeks. :)

Well, I feel great. I have lost 25 pounds according to my scale. My incisions are healing nicely, but are itchy! One is so itchy I put a bandaid on it! But they look so good. My post-op checkup went fabulously. He said to expect to hit a "tired/fatigued" time possibly, but to push through it. I am walking throughout the day with all of our family activities, last time I had the pedometer on I hit almost 4 miles! Next will be re-setting up the treadmill so that it can actually be folded out and used. No other exercise allowed yet, but I can drive!

I started my vitamins yesterday, yuk! All are flavors I liked before, but are so chalky that I have trouble swallowing after chewing and chewing. I am taking Celebrate, but I wish it were not so much to swallow.

I want to thank the great new friends who have been dropping me notes of encouragement!! You guys are angels!!!!!

Anything new with you? I can't wait to hear how everyone is doing!

Kicking back watching Ron White, I am getting drozy. I called the doctor earlier and told him that I was not able to get to sleep until 3AM, o now I am on Benadrill. I will get to sleep earlier tonight!

So a short blog today. Here it is.

 

Okay, I couldn't get to sleep until after 3AM, woke up at 9AM. We went to see Julie & Julia (fabulous!) and shopped w/Aunt Nan at Meijer's for like 2 hours. I am beat (but happy)!
