Today I am 235 lbs.  I no longer qualify for surgery in any shape or form.  My BMI is 34.7.

That is 130 lbs lost since last year.
That is 108 lbs since my surgery date.

It is 2 days till my six month surgiversary.

Yesterday I bought capris and two shirts and it was in the ladies and juniors section of Target.  I was too small to fit in the plus sized clothes.

Today I am 238 BABY!! That is the lowest I have ever weighed in my whole adult life. I have never been (in my memory) any smaller than this!!

I am wearing all of my old skinnier clothes. It is weird!!

I have lost 105 lbs from my date of surgery on 12/20/06, so about 5 1/2 months ago. I have lost 127 lbs since last year.

I don't have to shop at specialty plus size shops. Any old wal-mart or target will do. As a matter of fact, I wear JUNIORS SIZE TOPS NOW--WHAT!???!?! :)) I wear an 18 pants.

Next goal: To weigh less than my husband (who is 209)!

Today it is 5 months and 10 days from my date of surgery.  And I weigh 243.  I have lost 100 lbs.  122 from my highest weight last year.

I wear a 14/16 LB shirt, but some are too big.  I wear a XXL in the juniors section.  I wear a size 18/20 pants from LB. 

This is crazy.....and EXCELLENT.

I am so active!!  I work all day, I leave work, pick up my 2 year old, cook dinner, go to the gym, play with my son while dinner cooks, rolling around on the floor.  He is able to wrap his legs around me (they don't touch but they resemble a circle going around me instead of doing the splits).  He will never be teased for having a "fat mama" at school.  I will be around for him to graduate and go to college and have his own babies.

Life is sweet.

Well it's slow-going weight loss right now.  99 lbs gone since surgery 5 months and 5 days ago.  121 gone since last year.  But the great thing is, it's still coming off.  So I'll take it!!

I weigh 244 and wear a size 20 pants from LB and 14/16 shirt.  I bought a juniors tank top at Wal-mart the other day that fit.  It was an XXL size 19 whatever that is, but I'll take it!  It was in the juniors section!!

While I was there, i was looking at some tank tops in the plus sizes and some ladies walked by and said honey, I think your in the wrong section...WHAT!!!!  That was so crazy!  Imagine, me, not a plus size?  I am still for pants though for a bit longer.

It is so weird to look in the mirror these days.  I was in the bathroom at work just gazing at myself and noticing the new changes and some lady came in and caught me.  I'm thinking, she probably thinks I'm a nut.

Ah well!  That's enough for today.

Well, today I weigh 246 lbs.  That is 97 lbs gone from my date of surgery.  119 lbs from my highest weight last year.  I only exercised 3x last week, but what the heck.

I feel great.  I do more.  I am LIVING.

It's six days till my 5 month surgiversary........just for kicks can I lose 5 lbs?  (and its my period).  I'm gonna see.  I'm going to the gym everyday thru Sunday.

If I can do it, that is 100 lbs gone from date of surgery in 5 months (122 lbs from this time last year).  Whoa.

I don't feel too much like blogging, but I thought I would mention that at 3 months, I have lost 70lbs.  I do exercise daily.  It feels pretty darn good.

I called my doctor the other day because everyone kept telling me how great Taco Bell pintos and cheese was so I wanted to try.  I'm on pureed food, but I called just to make sure they were okay.

They were like "yeah, you can have them, but why?  they are gassy".  I'm thinking, yeah, beans were gassy before surgery but what difference is it to you?  Anyway, I digress.  So when out shopping today I decided to get some beans.  We go, and while there I see cheesy potatoes on the menu and I assume they are mashed but I was wrong.  I got them anyway too.  The beans went down fine and I thought I could handle a bite of potatoes (with cheese for protein I tell myself), but nooooooooooooo.  I chewed them into oblivion, but back up they came.  First it was extreme pressure in my chest, then I felt it in my chest rising and falling.  It was soooo terrible, I finally stuck my finger down my throat and helped it along.

I won't be making the one bite too many mistake again!!!!

Its been 15 days since surgery and I'm going back to work on Monday. I feel pretty darn good. I can roll around in bed and not wince and I can even sleep on my stomach. I can walk for 30 mins and the doc gave me the clearance for the gym and I will start that shortly. I still can't pick up more than 10 lbs so that includes my son, but that should resolve itself in just a few weeks.

And now for the good stuff....I've lost 22 lbs from the date of surgery, 32 lbs from 1 week before surgery (due to the liquid diet), and 54lbs since the last time I've been home to Mississippi. 

Damn, that's worth it.

Wow, this week has been really tough.  While I am excited about my weight-loss, I know that this week I was really in a depression.  I feel myself lifting out of it yesterday and today.  I was really mad about not being able to eat.  I literally would look at the fridge and cabinets a few times a day (checking the stores?).  I don't know, I have been feeling so strange.  I would pour my few tablespoons of soup into a bowl to heat and be like "is this for real?" and be kind of irritated.  But I was full afterward.  I don't know why I was so irritated and kind of angry.  Now after I've said it a thousand times, I am more "wowed" by the small amounts and laugh about it with my husband.

On the upside......I'm down 17 lbs from surgery and 27 lbs from the week before's liquid diet.....now that rocks!

I can't wait till my stomach feels good enough to let me put on something besides sweats.....lol.
