I was sitting on the sofa watching music video's ...and the cutest thing happened----my two year old son walked over to me and said" Dance with me mommy" now I know I've got to take it slow.........But I got my body up and danced with my son.... and before I knew it my daughter and husband  joined us... what a special Way to celebrate life and each other.....





P.s. Two weeks to the day after WLS lost 23lbs.....and going strong




Live, Love, Laugh

Today I woke up and was in the mood to go out ..... So my family and I took a ride out to Seaside Heights.....It was a really beautiful day we had a great time ......when Lunch time came around we decided to go to Subways...... When it was my time to order I ordered one scoop of tuna....The lady was like "Is that all?" and i said yes ....my family was so proud of me for handling the Going out to eat situation fine ...I was laughing at the lady's expression on her face when I asked for a scoop of tuna........(I should of asked for a spoon of tuna....lol)

This morning I went to see my daughter's school play , before I left the house I took my 1tsp of Carafate

and grabbed an 8oz bottle of water to go. The play was about American History and Immigration they did
a wonderful job. The only thing I didn't account for was how long the play was so I totally skipped

breakfast today and it has completely thrown me off track.

 I really should of been better prepared or at least brought a breakfast drink instead of a bottle of water..

                                                                    

Before I went to bed last night I put on my pj's and they fit me so big I needed to find a safety


pin to cover my chest and when I stood up I realized I also needed to take in both sides......Needless to

say I slept well last night ... Woke up happy and decided today was a good day to weigh

myself.........I was so happy to see that not only was I in the Two's but finally under 290, & 280lbs's



I'm now 279 lbs and really happy to see how everything is progressing.....and I went from BMI 57.5 -
 

                                             BMI of 51 can't wait to see that BMI drop  

I'm feeling a lot better --- Getting my spunk back and getting my head back in the game......




        I found that preparing my meals and adding protein to my diet is easier than I  thought .       




I realized that I should not count on my protein shakes to get all the protein I need For the day 
 


                                                      but use it to fill for the protein that I didn't eat                                          




I made a great lunch yesterday 



                                                     2oz of Idahoan Instant mashed potatoes
                                                     2oz of Staggs Steak Chili
                                                     I blended the two ingredients
                                                     * A total of 13 Grams of Protein



                                 It tasted so good that my family wanted me to make it for them as well  




I love making up my own recipes for things and it made me feel good to make something that I enjoyed 

                                                       
                                                                         and didn't get sick from eating it      

June 1 2009 went to Dr. Ferzli's office and he removed my staples......wow !!!!! what a relief .....I also met with Lisa she's my


nutritionist we went over the do's and Don'ts after WLS and made everything a lot clearer for me......


So I have to eat every three-four hours DrINK AT LEAST 8 oz with in 1/2 hour time.......



Don't drink from a straw..........



Well pretty much........... I broke all those rules



Today starts a new day


I will try to follow  everything as much as I can tolerate.......

I just can't believe how emotional I've become




These tears of happiness and letting go of the



old me just appear from time to time...




I hope this is part of the process,,,,, And I'm not





Going through an emotional breakdown......

I have to admit it was a pretty hard day


My two year old son wanted to snuggle like


we used to on the sofa and I was really

feeling the pain after WLS


Like a good Mommy I was acting like


everything was fine and told him he can


hug my arm and rest his head on my

shoulder

My mother-in law, Cousin and Good friend

were helping me through out the rest of the

day, which made it a whole lot easier.



As far as the eating part of the day....I'm


really not sure if I'm eating enough,

although I'm really full after a couple of  

bites---- I made my appointment to follow

up with the nutritionist and Surgeon on

June 3 and hopefully I'm doing everything I

need to do




I would like to thank you all for your

Support and prayers I am also praying for

all of you because without the support of

all of you Pre/Post WLS members I would

have not been so brave

Love you all Talk to you soon

                             
Thankfully everything went well...Feeling a

bit sore but I guess that's part of the

process. (Can't believe how fast you get

full on two tsp. of broth....lol) After surgery

I had emotions running wild and just began

to cry. I just couldn't believe that after ten

years of thinking about it-----it became real.

                                 

Okay now I'm really going...Today is the day I've

been waiting for since 1999 .....
