Hello everyone, sorry I havent written.  I am doing rather well.  I am now single (yeah) and I am down to 193.  The weight is very slowly coming off.  I guess I am almost where I should be.  Probibly not.  

I am actually into Large scrubs now.  Go figure.  That in itself is an accomplishment.  

I will definately try to keep intouch more. 

HUGS

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. My holiday was nice.  Got lots of goodies and guess what???????  I lost 4 more pounds.  I am now down to 205.

I keep missing the support group meetings.  I thought it was the fourth Thursday of every months and its the fourth Wednesday.  I am now down to a 18 and they are baggy on me.  So I am inbetween sizes.  My shirt size is now a large but that's a bit too snug.  It fits just not as loose as i like them.  

I am going shopping for clothes and undies.  I cant remember the last time I actually wanted to buy pretty undies that match.  Yeah I know it probibly TMI for most.  (too much information)  But I can comment now.  I am lookin pretty good.  he he he!!   Only kidding. 

Alright, the scale finally moved.  I am now down to 209.  (lost 49) I am starting to feel pretty good now.  I cant wait til I get down to 200.  I havent been back to the gym. (shame on me)  I just dont have the time.  I have been trying to work because of the holidays so, maybe soon.  I have an appointment with Dr. Pasu tomorrow.  I'll keep you posted.

Wish me luck!!!!

Today is Saturday, I was so sick yesterday, I think it was the flu. I felt horrible all week at work but yesterday, i had it... i called out of work.. NOT LIKE ME AT ALL!!! I have been forcing myself to eat cause i cant afford to get more sick. I havent lost too much weight... probibly 2 lbs since my last check in..... i feel bad.. i dont understand what i am doing wrong.... i eat all my protein.. i limit my carbs... (i havent been able to eliminate them completely).. i havent exercised iin a week cause ive been feeling bad.. i dont understand... i NEED to lose so much more... what am i doing wrong???? maybe i'll write everything down then call the dr next week. Well i will let you know about my status later on. OH my hair is still falling out... that suks... i was hoping it would stop with the biotin and the shampoo and conditioner.... i have uped my protein... oh well i guess it will either stop or i will be bald.... :-(

Sorry I havent been writing.  I have been going to the gym faithfully 5x a week.  I never thought i would be able to walk 2 miles and then work out on the machines.  It feels good.  I am getting lots of compliments on my appearance now. Boy is that different.   I have been a bit bummed cause I was stuck at 212 lbs for weeks.  Finally, on Friday, I weighted myself and the scale saID 211.  (I am down 47 lbs)  Knew it would happen sooner or later but boy that waiting is stressful. 

I am now into a size 18 pant and xl tops.  My scrubs are way too big i cant wait for my new ones to come in I ordered Large bottoms and large tops.  I dont remember the last time i could actually wear a large anything.!!! 

I dont dump on sugar so, I have been stealing my sisters Halloween candy!!  Shame on me.  My BF went to the candy store and bought me a sugar free assortment.  He's been okay lately. Its things like that, that makes me appreciate him.  That was a very nice thing to do.

OH I have been drinking 1-2 cups of coffee a day.  Boy did i miss my moms coffee. it keeps me buzzing most of the day.  I try not to over do it though.

Hello all, just wante to take some time out and let everyone know i am doing great.  I lost another 4 lbs. so thats 41lbs lighter for me.  Yeaeeeee.  I havent been excercising.   I just received my first paycheck after starting to work again so, nows my chance to go.  I will sign up tomorrow after work.    Gotta tone this fat my goal is to trim my tummy. 

Sorry I havent kept up this past month.  There has been alot going on.  I have had to totally change the way i think about food.  I still can only eat 1.4 of a sandwich. and it better not have too much in it.  But as of yesterday i am down 37lbs.  Not too bad for me in two months.  I am very happy.  I finally went back to work on the 6th.  That was really hard for me cause i was sleeping really late, then i had to  start getting up at 6am again.  ewww that suked.  Everyone at work says I look great.  boy does that finally feel good.  Yeaeeee for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to see the Dr. today and to my surprise I lost 7 more
pounds.  Total 27lbs lost since 7/6.

I have been trying to keep off the scale.  ITS NOT MOVING THOUGH!!  It's so frustrating!!  havent lost anything in two weeks.  Well i go to the drs tomorrow so we'll see what he thinks.  My bf has been great, so far.  He's very understanding of my meals and my exercise.  I will take a picture on Sunday, (1 month post op) and compare to my pre op.  Maybe that will make me feel a bit better. 

I went to the doctors on friday and i am on my stage 3 foods.  Puree.  I am happy that i can have cheese.  I LOVE CHEESE!!  My staples came out too.  It actually didnt hurt.  I was really stressed about that.  Thing have been okay.  I havent been getting inmy 60g of protein.  I try... i am actually eating all day.  I am also trying to get in my water bacause (not to be nastyJ)  my urine is bothering me.  eewww i know probibly tmi.  sorry.    I think i still have 4 weeks off of work.  Boy am i bored.  Well, i had mashed potatoes... and chicken and brocolli in the blender.  they were so good .  It was nice to have food with some texture to them .  I think i will get mom to make a roast.  that'll be good in the blender.  I'll let you know.
