I am down about 83lbs and feeling great.

I have quit my job and taken a new one that will be alot less stress! I start next week. I will also be doing a part time job but also less stress! Hey did I happen to mention that my old job had alot of stress? Mostly from management. It's hard to work when you are being micromanaged all the time.

I have skipped out on exercise this week, just with orientation and such I haven't made it. But my excuse is once back into a routine I will start going again.

All my lab results came back great, no longer on high blood pressure or diabetes meds. Yeah!

My husband commented yesterday that he can hardly recognize me! HAHA new wife for him. I am at wedding weight now so I put on my wedding dress and it fit!

10 weeks

Jul 03, 2008

Wow I can't believe it's been 10 weeks. I am down 75 lbs. I feel great, still doing water aerobics and started weight training. I have so much energy.

I went on a couple of job interviews and was amazed how valved I am. I got offered a new job and accepted the offer. I am very excited about this.

The family is going camping next week. I am amazed how little I am worried about food. Camping trips before were all about food.

65lbs gone!

It's hard to believe that I have lost more since surgery then I did before. 30/35. I feel wonderful. I have lots of energy. I have been doing water aerobics since 2 weeks out. I did start to do circuit weight training this week. My goal is to do it on mon/wed/fri. 

My husband goes for his doctor's appointment for the surgeon tomorrow. I wish him luck.

Cleaned out closet!

Jun 02, 2008

On my day off yesterday I cleaned out my closet, got rid of all size 22 pants. This means most of my work pants. I went to old navy and bought a pair of capris off the clearance rack. I got home thinking they wouldn't fit but they did! Yeah I was so happy.

I ordered a bunch of food products from bariatricchoice.com lots of crunch stuff preztels, chips and stuff like that. Will be fun to find out what is good.

Back to work!

May 27, 2008

I went back to work yesterday. The really cool thing about it was that I was able to wear size 18 pants. I had to wear my 2XL work shirt though. But I was excited about the pants. I guess my work will have to order me new shirts.

I'm having a real problem with pork. Tried some chinese bbq pork last night and threw it up. Second ingrident: SUGAR even though it said 0 grams of sugar on the label? 


Week 4 update

May 23, 2008

I'm feeling great! I did water aerobics 5 times this week. I applied for a new job and I punched in my numbers in the BMI calculator and I have moved from "extremely obese" to just "obese"! How exciting is that?

I finally tried on a size 20 pants today all my 22 size are falling off me. and they fit. Can't quite get into the 18's yet but soon. I also bought some XL active wear pants and they fit! I'm so excited!

I tried chicken noodle soup with the noodles last night and had to run to the bathroom.

I'm not looking forward to going to work on Tuesday!


week 3 update.

May 16, 2008

I had been going great, going to water aerobics all week. I woke up Friday and felt like I hit a wall. Didn't make it to any excise. Slept most of the day.

Saturday I ate some bbq pork (which I figured would be ok) OH NO it was not ok. I threw up almost immediately. Had the chest pain, the lightheadness, it was terrible. Plus I had to go to my work to give them my schedule. Oh man my chest hurt. It lasted about 20 minutes.

Ok so move on to Saturday night, like I forgot that this episode just happened a few hours ago. And eat more of the the bbq pork. Well I couldn't even finish my 2oz serving and it was coming up again. You would think I learned my lesson the first time but no. So I laid down and felt better but what an awful feeling. 

On Sunday I have the loose stool. I'm sure it is a result of yesterday. Still not feeling 100% but hopefully will get there soon.

Company Picnic

May 16, 2008

My company had a picnic last night and I haven't seen anyone since a week before sugery. So it was good to go and hear all kinds of compliments. It was nice to hear that I looked "healthy".

I have to go back to work in just over a week now. YUCK not looking forward to that!

I went to water aerobics 4 times this week. I feel great.

I haven't taken my pain medication for 3 days now, I guess it's time to dump it down the drain!!!! 

I made chili today and pureed my portion and it went right through memaybe to much spices or grease I don't know but wasn't fun.
