Today makes 5 weeks since my surgery and I am so happy I didn't talk myself out of doing it!!
I had virtually no problems at first...but now just like a baby...my stomach is rather fussy about what
i send down there. I use to wonder how on earth I would ever be able to "eat" my protein instead of
drinking so much of it. But that too is easier now. My sample of birthday cake came today from About Time
and I'm going to try it in the morning...I cant wait!!
I have to go to the doctor next Monday for my 6 week check up. I have no idea why i feel like he isn't going to be happy with my loss...but I am excited that i have lost 22lbs. That hasn't happened in...shit i don't remember how longago!!
I'm going to Texas Thurs to see THE MAN...this is the first time he has seen me since surgery. I am so excited tosee his response. I think of crazy stuff like...when he puts his arms around me..will he notice how much easier itis or that there is less of me??!  I hope he is just as excited about me losing weight now that it is finally happening.I want to have sex without feeling like I'm going into cardiac arrest...or that my tits will surely suffocate me if i lay on my back...(TMI I KNOW) but these are the things i think about.
Hope you all have a great week!!
big hugs and wet kisses

I cant believe today makes one month since I had surgery! Wow..I can honestly say I have no regrets and I hope this continues to be an amazing journey. I have lost 20 lbs and I don't feel like I am deprived or struggled to do it.
I just do what I am suppose to. I eat what and when I'm suppose to and I'm satisfied. I drink my fluids and if i haven't ate enough to get my protein i make sure to drink my protein shake to get it all in. I have to admit the hardest thing for me has been the waiting to drink 30 mins before and after a meal.

I hope everyone else is doing well and staying on track! Until next month...HUGS N KISSES 
 

Tomorrow will make 3 weeks since i had my RNY!! As of today i have lost 16lbs and i feel
absolutely wonderful! I cant believe how easy this has been and that i have no problems
to speak of. I know i am lucky or blessed or all the above. The best part is that I don't feel like
I'm missing anything and I'm not deprived. I am very happy that I was able to have surgery and I hope my clothes start to fit a little looser soon...but since everything was tight to begin w/ i guess it may take a little while LOL
Hope everyone is doing well and stay motivated! I need to be more dedicated and accountable for my walking everyday..I have slacked this weekend. BAD GIRL ...I KNOW!!  I WILL TAKE MY SPANKING :0)
HUGS N KISSES

I cant believe it has already been two weeks. I actually don't feel like I had surgery...until i try to
eat that is..lol I'm still never hungry...never have the desire for anything so that makes this journey
a lot easier!! I just wish i had lost more already...i have only lost 12 lbs but i guess that is better than gaining 12 huh?? I guess i should be happy with any weight loss...but it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong or its my fault that i haven't lost more.
I am back to both jobs this week so I don't have much spare time during the week again. Hope everyone is well and Thanks to so many who send me well wishes.
Hugs n kisses

I went to see my surgeon for my one week follow up today. I have lost 10 lbs and my incisions look absolutely beautiful! actually you wouldn't see them at all unless you knew to look for them. LOL
I think it is so amazing that i feel like my normal self. No aches or pains ..no nausea or any problem to speak of. EXCEPT THIS DAMN HEAD COLD!!  I cant believe i lost 10 lbs in a week..that has never happened before. I am very happy that i had the strength and determination to go thru with the surgery. 
I cant wait to look back a month or even six months from now!
Thank you all my OH friends that continue to send well wishes. You are the GREATEST!!!
BIG HUGS

Well today is the last day of clear liquids. And I have not been hungry at all. That is so strange to me LOL I just knew i would be starving or threaten every in the house to give me some of what ever they ate ..but nope!  Tomorrow i can have soup and i think it will be interesting to see how i handle something a little thicker than fluids. i bought some sf carnation instant breakfast to add my protein powder to..and i am so glad to say goodbye to the freaking Isopure.
I have felt like my normal self until about 30 mins ago. My hip suddenly felt stiff and i couldn't stand up. I walked all over the grocery store and i have folded towels and vacuumed so i know I'm not sitting too much. It just feels like a catch. I am trying to work that out now. so i gotta get off here lol
Take care everyone!!
hugs

I feel fine today. I walked around outside several times and Im trying to drink all my fluids. I hate this Isopure and it is killinfg me to drink it!  I only feel queezy when i drink that crap. I only have to do clear fluids one more day so Saturday I move to full liquids. Im excited to drink carnation instant bfast and have cream soup LOL I gained 7 lbs of fluid while in the hospital and yesterday I was back down to my true weight.
I hope all my friends are well..I will update ya later!

Im just a little sore today..not bad enough to take the Lortab..but i will take it if i need to. At first I thought I could drink with no problem but today it hasnt been so easy. But i am doing it...little by little. ONE DAY AT A TIME..LOL
I have the greatest  admiration for people who go thru this...it is HELL  and I know that that Im going to make it cuz so many of you have.
Just thought I would give a quick update..talk to ya guys later
