I'm Pregnant!!

Aug 19, 2009

Last week I found out that I am now 4 weeks pregnant. I am already having trouble with morning sickness, my back hurting, constipation, acne, and lethargy. I am shocked at how many problems I am already having! It will all be worth it in the end though =) I have my first sonogram on Sept 14 and can't wait!

41 pounds from goal!!

May 01, 2009

Yipee!! I weighed yesterday and the scale shocked me. I thought it was wrong, so I ended up getting on it a total of 3 times! I now weigh 191 pounds. I can't believe it! Honestly, I haven't been exercising or drinking my protein shakes like I should, but seeing my results without doing those things motivates me to start doing them. They can only help my weight loss and make me feel better! Before the surgery I was barely fitting into a 22/24 and the the verge of a 26/28. Now I am at a 14/16. I'm so excited to go shopping at "regular" stores. My doctor only wants me to get down to 160 pounds, and I originally wanted to get down to 140 or 145 (the weight I was before I got sick), so I have decided to compromise at 150 pounds. I'm definitely going to get the tummy tuck when the time comes. I also want a breast lift and enlargement. I have lost so much weight from my already small breasts, and they are starting to droop. I'm about to be 26, and a 26 year old's boobs shouldn't be drooping, so that is a future goal for me. Everything is going great!

Thank you to all of you who have supported me during this time

Almost at 200!

Mar 31, 2009

I weighed earlier and was shocked to see that I am at almost 200 pounds! I am living with my sister, and she has two different scales, one digital and one regular. The digital said I was at 200 pounds even and the regular one said I was at 205. Either weight is good! I've lost a little more than 60 pounds since my first consultation with my WL surgeon and 45 pounds since my surgery a little over a month ago. I can't believe it. All my pain and suffering is paying off! Only 50 pounds more to go! I hope everyone else is doing as well as I am!

XOXO

Weighed less than 220 today & First date since surgery

Mar 05, 2009

I weighed today and came in at 219 pounds! Wahoo! Not much longer before I'm below 200, and then to my goal of 145. This definitely motivates me to keep up the hard work.

I also have my first date since the surgery!  I met a really nice, great looking guy so we are going out for the first time this Saturday. He lives about 300 miles away unfortunately, so we are going to meet halfway and go out for a movie and some bowling! Can't wait =)

First visit to grocery store since surgery & Thank you

Mar 03, 2009

Wow! Tonight I went to Walmart for the first time after my surgery. I broke up with my fiance less than a month before my surgery, so my mom took care of me post-op. She did all the grocery shopping while I was recovering. I finally ran out of food and had to go. It was difficult walking down the aisles seeing the things that I used to eat. I wanted those things so bad! But I kept telling myself that those foods are what made morbidly obese leading me to have the RNY. I am still battling some depression and "buyer's remorse", but I do feel like I am getting better.

I want to thank all of the amazing people who have reached out to me and given me support. All of your advice and words of kindness are really helping. I can't express how much I appreciate all of you. I look forward to getting to know all you on a deeper level and becoming good friends. Someday, I would love to be able to meet some of you! You all are my weight loss angels!


With love and appreciation-
Allison
