Ha! That is it! Only Protein & Coffee is passing these lips for a week. NOTHING else! I am glad the holidays are over... This crappy food needs to leave my home---it is now...but... I need to be on a better track. I have quit fruit and veggies for a week even--only Protein related food for me for 1 week.. If I could do the liquid diet for 2 weeks I can do this! Wish me luch. I have only dropped 2 lbs this month but I know I have lost inches because my size 12's are loose but not loose enough for my fat butt to get into a size 10... could you imagine if I got to an 8??? A single digit like my friend kim...oh wow.. that is my next goal of course.... who knows if I will reach it but it's a goal and it is something to work toward!!! Time to put the stress of the holidays behind me and move on with ME! I like me.. I want to help me... I want to be doing as great as my friend Kim.... OK, Lots of love to you all! See how this goes again... I have upped my protein but I just have upped other stuff too that I shouldn't have even tried to get past my lips and to be honest I don't know why I tried because a month ago I would have dumped big time but this month-No dumping.... ummmmm.. not good! PS.. I use to HATE coffee before WLS.. now, can't stop drinking it...

163 lbs this morning!

Lost some inches but not lbs yet.... Still working on getting in all my protein. I find myself drinking alot of coffee and some milk.  I dont ever seem to get water in. Bad me... I'll keep you posted but not much has changed yet. Still having bad stomach pains too. Dr put me on more Nexium. It's the only thing that helps and gosh, it is very expensive. pain so bad sometimes I cry at work and I am NOT a cry baby but OUCH!

165 lbs today !!!!!!

The BMI calculator says

Normal for me is 154 lbs!
I am still overweight at 165 lbs!

I need to loose 11 more lbs to be NORMAL!!!! This is BOARDERLINE on the NORMAL/OVERWEIGHT line so of course I want to be lower but I will be SO happy to just get down 11 more lbs...This is my next Mini goal!!! Cross your fingers, pray 4 me, wish upon a star... what ever it takes!!!! 

Learned from my friend today on here that she upped her protein to 100g/day. I am going to start this tomorrow. I have stalled and those really evil marshmallows that broke into my house and climbed in my mouth have been sent to the trash along with a few other carbs that seem to have found their way into my home. Evil Evil Carbs!!! I hope I can kick start my weigh loss again... I am on here daily again for MUCH needed support! Thanks to my friends that have given it to me-You know who U R!!!! ;-)  This is the first month that I have been unhappy with my loss... I guess I should be happy about that but I am not-Maybe I am greedy... I just feel like I have done the extream to myself and I really want to see the results pay off.  We will see how boosting my protein and water does...I'll keep u posted!!

OK.... I have been up and down on the scales and I have been pretty bad through this month...My son's b-day and thanksgiving has me...well...I ahte myself...I have been trying new things and bad things and I really pissed myself off when I lloked at the scale. I lost a few then went right back up to 165 lbs.. so in reality I havent lost any weight this month since I gained it back...What the hell was I thinking??? I am starting today to be vey avid on here and to totally watch what I put in my stupid mouth... I hate food... It's killing me.... I will be at 8 months out on Dec 18th.... I wanted to be at lest 140 by the new years but I dont see that happening... Owell...I cant do anything about the screw up--I can eat bread now---bad bad bad and i have tried cake and chocolate..bad bad bad... but I VOW that starting today that I will put nothing but good stuff past my lips.. What the hell did I go though all this work and pain for if not to come out on top???!!! I am just so mad at myself right now and I have to vent.... I am in a size 12 jeans and I HATE my thighs.... they gross me out...why cant I be normal???? I still will not wear shorts in public yet....I hate my legs.... I look at them and I swear that is were all my fat still is... why wont it go away.... others keep saying that I look so good but I cant see it.... I still look FAT!!! Oh. and to top it off...my BFF, well she has a new boyfriend and she knows that I dont talk about my surgery to others..it's my own private hell and I dont like talking about it to strangers so we were all out and he was talking and joking with me and kept asking why I was milking 1 beer for the whole nite and my BFF just blurts out to him and the whole bar that I had surgery... OH I smiled and layed it off as it was no big dael but I was so mad.... She also told my hubby that I shouldnt have had surgery and I should have dieted more and worked harder then she comes around me and complains that her ass is getting bigger because she is gaining more weight and now I am in a size 12 and she is in a 14... I really think she is , for the 1st time ever, jealous and it is killing her so she is taking these cheap jabs at me... I just dont understand it... maybe it's subcng.  because I know she would never hurt me on purpose but good god I am mad at her for her lack of sensitivity and my lack of food control... bad day!!! just wanted to vent!!! hopefully this next week I will be happier and healthier!!! Later!!!!

Lbs= 167.0 lbs today!!!!!
Surgery date April 18, 2008
it's been 6 months and a few weeks.
Not bad I think.
I still need to loose my bat wings and some thighs but all is still good. I was having trouble eating bread and pasta ad I dumped on sugar all the time. I had to really watch the sugar content in things. It's straighing out some. I have been to a few B-day parties and tried bites of cakes and ice cream and I have been fine. i just started trying a slice of toast with jam on it in the moring or a cup od cheerioes for b-fast. It has done good. My friend is still struggling a bit. she looks great but she bounces around at 200 lbs. She eats sandwiches with bread and chips and stuff. I wish she wouldnt but it's her decision. I haven't been able to so I think that is why I have been going down faster. I'm slowing down to approx 5 lbs a month now but I am OK with that.  I feel great to. I dont drink water hardly at all. I do drink ALOT of skim/no fat milk. I drink it all the time. My hair still looks great and I have had very minamal hair loss. That I am SO happy about. I see some hair in the brush but I can not tell on my head!!! :-) OK, Well if you have any questions please email me and I wil answer you as soon as I can.
