After getting through the hellish process of getting to surgery. I am finally relieved that it is done! Now the second part to all this staying focused and waiting for the pounds to start flying off. It's been almost a week since the surgery and this liquids thing has not been working out too well. Everything they have recommended for me to have during this time, just makes me sick. I would almost rather not have anything. My first post op appointment is tomorrow and I am looking forward to seeing what if anything I've lost! My whole family is watching me so closely its almost nerve recking. But, I got this!!! Keep watching
What out there - Now!! This coming Friday marks my one month anniversary. I have lost 19 pounds. I guess I am excited, but the funny thing is I don’t see it. Some of my clothes see to be a bit too big, but I was expecting a whole lot more for 20 pounds. But again I guess I can’t complain. This eating like a bird is quite hilarious J and for some reason it make me almost sick to see people pile food on their plate. Not sure why that is but …I went back to work last week and that was cool, but boy do I miss my naps and I really don’t miss 6am at all. This has truly been quite a journey and I am looking forward, because the BEST is YET to COME!!!!
10/6/08 Wow! So I got on the scale again today and to my surprise - I lost 4 more pounds. My goal was to loose 30 by Sunday (my two month mark), but I got pretty close so I am OK with that. So to date I have lost 28 pounds and I am OK with that.
10/24/08 Hi guys. This story is a little late but I am still so very excited about it. I went to my third post op appointment last week and got on the scale and OMG. I thought it was a joke. I got off the scale and asked the nurse for some tissue because I thought I was going to cry. I got back on the scale, by this time the nurse was so confused she did not know what to say. I looked at the scale and asked the nurse how accurate it was - still is disbelief. She explained the whole being calibrated thing but all I could do was laugh. I was stressing about how much wight I had lost and the scale I was using was wrong. How funny is that? So I figured out that I have lost 33 pounds. I called my mom, my best friend , my aunt and my husband. I was so excited. Then I thought I needed to be rewarded so I went shopping. I will have those pic's up soon. I am 66 pounds away from my goal and that sounds so much better than 100. The best part to all this is the new nick name my husband gave me ~ "Slim" I love it ( ha ha ha ha ha ) Gotta go now but still laughing. :)
