7 months post op and i'm 105 lbs gone... im a size 14..i'm officially 177 lbs and its great.. my goal is to lose another 50 lbs... and i'd really love to pull it off by my one year surgiversary. wish me luck.

im so terrible about keeping up i rarely even check this site ...tsk tsk tsk..
well onto the news.. im officially 75 lbs gone forever... my surgery was may 18th.

May 18th was my official surgery date, i havent gottent o a computer until now, its officially june first and i couldnt be happier i'm still in some pain and tomorrow will be two weeks post op, so i'm right on schedule i think.
Im walking 30 minutes everyday and if i can i try to get on a stationary bike as well. cardio is important to me and i really want to do well in losing the weight, i know it comes off fast in the first few weeks... months even.. so i figure i'll help it along as much as i can.
I figure by a month post-op all my pain will be gone (i hope) then i'll be able to pick things up off the floor (which i cant do yet).. pick up my babies (my dogs) just all the things i need help doing. i'm used to being independant and self sufficient so this is different for me but i can handle it.
Im very lucky i had a very easy recovery, no gas pains, no really difficult healing issues.. i did throw up twice the first week but that was from the hospital giving me crushed medicine that just didnt agree with my stomach, it was dreadfully painful and i'm glad i never have to do that again.
anyways its 2 am and i should try to get some sleep, rest = healing. i'll try to update more now that i'm post -op.

so i havent blogged since Nov. and thats pretty much because nothing was happening.. finally fiinally i have a surgery date. May 18th is my tentative date which pretty much means they can postpone it if i dont lose what they want me to lose.
I have to go see the surgeon in 13 days.. for some post op stuff. this will be my second time seeing him. 278 is my weight now he'd like to see me down more when i got to see him and frankly so would i. I've been pretty much liquid dieting since i found out i have to see him in less then two weeks.. 4 protien shakes a day. and 2.2 litres of water..which is about 8 glasses. if i get too too growlie in the tummy then i have some cheese of chicken meat or something protien packed like that.
anyways now that i have these dates maybe i'll blog more often.

yay i got approval, now i just have to send the surgeons office my blood work and chest xray (and my moms too) and we'll get a surgery date, i'm hoping jan or feb.
our surgeon has agreed to do us both on the same day thats exciting.
I have to lose 15-20 pounds pre surgery, my mom has to lose 10.
i'm so excited i cant wait for a date!
