Got on the scales this morning and was pleaseantly surprised!!!!  I have lost 91 lbs since 3/23/09.
I am soo happy I could scream!! lol

9 more pounds and I will be a century!!!   I just cant believe it.. this surgery has saved my life..

I was grocery shopping tonight and stepped on my shoe lace.... I BENT OVER AND RE-TIED IT!!!  omg I cannot believe that I did that... its not much but to me it means the world!!! 


77LBS!!

I am 75lbs down.. I havent put any more pics up but will be taking some soon and post them,.. I feel great I have so much energy.. woo hoo I really enjoy shopping for myself now.. woo hoo.. I am going to re-invent myself.. maybe even find me a workout buddy  LOL

I cant believe it.. barely 2 months out (23rd) and almost 50 lbs... 4 pants sizes... better confidence.. energy off the charts!!!          I ALMOST CANT STAND MYSELF!!!        but as I always say.. dont hate the player hate the game... lol  I am truly blessed with a great network of friends who I have met and have been able to give me support when ever I needed it!!  I hope to be that to someone!!   More to come I'm sure... if I feel this good at 48 imagine me at 100... OH my gosh.. feets dont fail me now!!!

                                   
As of this morning!! I have lost 38 lbs!!!! I can not believe it.. as well as that I have been able to put on a size 26 pants.. I am working hard to get this weight off.. walking most days at least a half of a mile I am working my way up slowly..  I am still struggling with the food issues.. not so much that I cant eat but finding something that I can eat... I suppose the fact that I cant eat much is a good thing.. I am still getting all the protein I should and I figure If I do that then I have won the battle of the "BULGE"  lol..

as of today 4/24/09  WOO HOO!!!

Its been 20 days today and I am so discouraged... I was losing a good amount and now its just stopped... I am not over eating... I am not under eating that I know of.. I am getting in my protein, I am working on my fluids.. I dont feel like I am dehydrated.. I know that I have probably plateaued but I didnt think it would happen sooo fast after having surgery. everyone I have talked to has told me that its ok and not to worry but I have this thought in the back of my mind telling me that you have done it now.. you have had this surgery and you will never be "normal" again and here the one thing you thought would help you to lose weight doesnt even work.. how crazy is that??? I have started walking and was able to do a 1/4 mile today at work on the treadmill.. woo hoo I have a gazelle and will begin to use that also.. maybe if I step it up and move more that will help??  WISH ME LUCK!!!  I know that its gonna be ok.. more later...

334!!!   what  pretty number... went to the dr to have some of the sutures removed and talk to Bryn the dietician... I can add eggs to my diet net week OMG I cant wait!!! I got my wheels back so I must be doing something right.. I feel like I could have lost so much more... this liquid diet is hard cause if you mind says you aint full then you aint full.. lol once I get some "normal" food I will be doing much better.... other than the soreness in my belly I feel good I wish I could sleep on my side or stomach but havent  been able to acheive that YET!!! I have no room to complain!!

I had surgery on 3/23/09 and came through it fine.. I came home on 3/25/09 and that went well didnt have any problems at all kinda freaked me out when the drain tube decided on its own to come out by itself...  but I called  my great friend Judy and asked her if I was dying.. lol she settled my nerves by saying that was good that it came out it meant I was healing..

Everyone I have met prior to and after my surgery has told me that Journaling would be helpful.. I had in my mind what I would right but never got around to it.. my first entry was my first weigh in.. I have lost ten lbs!!  WOO HOO.. in 4 days!!! I made a list of the things that I wouldnt miss..  This morning my Journal was a true lifesaver.. I had breakfast of dark chocolate jello and a mocho protein shake and of course I couldnt finish either.. :)...  I was full but still couldnt get past the fact that I will never be able to eat like I once did.. Not that I ever want to be  a glutton ever again but just the fact I wont be able to eat the things that I love.. I know that one day I will be able to eat "real" food again but it seems like a lifetime away.. I am going to work through this, I refuse to let this beat me I have come to far to fail.. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!!!
