I'm very displeased with myself, I was doing so well for so long I didn't realize until my clothes started getting tight that I was gaining weight again. I went from a low of 128 to a current 149....granted 128 was way to skinny, the 149 is making me very unhappy. Any suggestions from veterans? I have a sedentary job and Its at night and I'm alone so I tend to get bored and eat, then I'm tired so I sleep most of the day. I cant afford a gym and I'm an opposite schedule of all my friends so I cant work out with them (not that they exercise).... I'm feeling disappointed in myself as I swore this wouldn't happen to me. Ive gone back to drinking protein shakes and cutting out fried foods but not making any head way with the scale...HELP! the more I feel disappointed the more i want to say f**k it and eat more! I thought these days were behind me :(

 Never thought Id hear these words but eveyone is saying Im getting TOO SKINNY!   Im a size 4/6 now and feel great, but according to friends I need to "put on a few", My daughter told mr the other day that she was goijng to take me out for a sandwich casue it looked liked i needed one, lol yea right! Ill stay where I am thanks, having some extra skin work and breast augmentation in Sept so Im pretty excited! Hang in there all you newbies, It gets better I promise :)

 I bought a pair of junior size 8 jeans!!! omg!!! who's body is this?  loving it!    2/2/2011  since this post I have dropped to a baggy 6 :)

 Well here I am in a stall. Im stuck at 192, yes I put on a couple pounds. But Im ok with my weight. I look good, I feel good and thats ok. I have been so worried about being a size 4 by vacation that I lost sight of my smaller goals. Im a size 12/14 right now and I feel great. So Im not going to beat myself up for not being a size 4 and Im gonna enjoy my curves!

less than 2 months ago I wore a size 2x or 3x. Today I bought a size 12 formal dress for my upcoming cruise. A 12!!!  I can recall when I would tell myself that I would just give anything to be a size 14 .... and now Im down to a 12..... It still hasnt sunk in that this is my body and this is my life. For the first time I can look forward to wearing a swim suit on the beach instead of a "coverup" . My husband has seen how great i feel and jumped on the bandwagon of weight loss and managed to dropped 22 lbs on his own. just by cutting back (uggh men!, why is it so easy for them?) Im so proud of him and he is looking hot without the baby budda belly! 

 I made 199 yesterday! I havent seen 199 in almost 20 years! Im so excited.... feels great

 Ive been using this tool on my phone. it has been awesome for tracking everything from calories to protein to exercise. check it out. very worthwhile.

Ughhhh a stall, already! but its my fault and I know this. I decided on the 5th day that I felt good enough to eat "regular" food. beef jerky, eggs, chicken, etc   bad idea!   resist!!   not only was my body not ready for this but it caused me to stall.  so now patiently I wait. I must say tho. I feel really good. I have been walking, wii fitting, etc.   Ive never had so much energy!   I can only imagine what life will be like in 6 months.  any one have any idea how long stalls last?  anything I can do to jump start things?   thanks all. 

 Dear God Im so glad thats over. finally up and moving more. losing 16 lbs in a week tho is a lot for a body to handle. Im still pretty swollen so my clothes are only slightly looser. I have to admit I was a little nervous about the DaVinci machine doing the operation but it all went well. Dr Nyguen was awesome of course and comes highly recommended. The one thing that really surprised me was that after surgery I WAS STILL HUNGRY!  I kept reading how you wouldn't be hungry and would have to force urself to eat... etc   I find myself thinking about food a lot... I hope that part passes..

p.s.  the ready to drink protein shake, eas carb advantage (chocolate) is really good!

Went for my pre op meeting today. Also found out that my doc is using the Da Vinci machine.He has never done a bypass with this machine and wanted to give it a try. He told me that "several" other doctors would be attending this surgery because it is a first for them as well. they have used the Da Vinci machine several times before but never for gastric bypass. Im pretty excited to be a part of such a monumental event. As the time gets closer tho I find Im getting really nervous. I cant stand the thought of failing. Ive come to far to quit now. I hope Im prepared for afterward. I go back to school 2 days after I come home from the hospital and plan on returning to work a week after surgery. I hope my plans are not more than I can handle. I find it almost impossible to sit still for long.
