Well I am still "stuck".  Haven't lost since the 9th, although, I do feel like my clothes are still getting looser.  Bad thing is I didn't take measurements in the beginning, wish I would have, because I could be measuring for inches.  Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep going and hope for the scale to move again soon.

The weight is coming off much slower now.  I have hit several stalls lasting several weeks at a time.  I am exercising 3 times weekly at about 1.5 hours each.  I drink lots of water, take my vitamins, and eat as much protein as I can.  I am losing about 2-3 pounds per week on average now.  I just went 2 weeks with no loss, but now lost 2# today.  Guess this is all part of it, and I am thankful I am still losing, and probably is healthier any ways, losing slower. 

Everything was good at the doctor's.  She said that I am already at my 6 month goal of losing 50#, so that was very exciting.  Officially lost 57# per doctor scale, nice to know my scale is accurate.

Finally lost some more weight, was very worried.  Have not lost in about 2 weeks.  Hopefully not another stall for awhile, they are very discouraging.  But look!, 57# lost, never in a million years could I have lost this much!

Made it to my first goal of losing 50#!!!  I went to a wedding last night, so had to buy a new outfit, because my clothes all just hang off me.  I got into 4 sizes smaller, and they are loose.  So exciting!  We hadn't seen our friends who were getting married since before my surgery, and they just could not believe the difference. 

I have lost 42#!  I am procrastinating starting my exercise routine, this would help my weight loss.  Do plan to join the YMCA in January.  It is so awesome to see people I haven't seen, even from just a few weeks ago, and they say "Wow". 

Well, I haven't lost any more pounds, still at 30# lost, but clothes are baggier.  I actually was able to put on a pair of jean shorts that are 2 sizes smaller, that I haven't worn in 3 years!  Very exciting!  I also figured out how to drink lots of fluids without getting nauseated!  I drink through a straw.  Weird, but it works.  If I drink regular from a glass or a bottle, I get very nauseated.  I think maybe the straw helps to not take in quite so much air....

I am more sore than I was expecting.  Getting better each day though.  Decided to quit taking my pain pills today, as I just pretty much feel "bruised" now.  The tube they leave in for a week is bothersome and tender.  Lay around most of day.  Everything I eat or drink, even water is making me nauseated.  Everything stinks, I think the surgery made my smelling senses stronger.  I really hope this healing part goes quickly.
