9 month surgaversiary

Jun 28, 2010

Well today is 9 months  and I have lost 100 pounds, I can't believe it, I am sooo happy.  Now I can't wait to get to goal, but that will be a while, seeing things have slowed down somewhat, oh well I am thrilled to be under 200, I can't remember the last time that I weighed 192 lbs.  I know that is high for normal people, but it is low for me.  I wish everyone all the best and here's to losing more weight!!!

7 months

May 03, 2010

Well it was 7 months on the 28th of April and I went to see my doctor for a check up,  he checked his records and it showed that I had lost 83 pounds since surgery and 121 from my heaviest!!  I always new I was huge but man that put things into perspective, I never ever want to be there again., there are days that it is much harder to do what we are doing, I just want to eat like I use too, but then when I look back, wow I don't ever want to look like that again.  I have gone from a 26-28 to a 16 still wearing some of my 18's because I don't want to waste money, I just wear a belt with the cloths that are too big.  My iron is back up so I really need to start doing more exercise.  Here's hoping to lose a lot more by the time my 1 year surgeversary is here!!!

6 month surgerversary

Mar 29, 2010

Well yesterday was 6 months since my surgery, and for most part I feel good,  I have lost 75 lbs and 35 inches in total, I am very pleased with this except when I compare myself to my sister or other people on here.  I feel I could have done a lot better, my energy level is at rock bottom and my iron pills don't seem to be doing anything, I have a lot of headaches so I am waiting to see my doctor, but can't see him till the end of april, ugg.  this last month my grandfather and father in law passed away and that has made my depression a lot worse.  I know I should be happy with my progress,  I guess i just have to look back and be proud!  No matter how tough some days are.

sad today

Feb 22, 2010

I don't know what it is, I had such an amazing weekend, I am sooo blessed but today I am exhausted and just wanted to cry, I lost nothing last week, and maybe even gained a few pounds, it really sucks big time.  I went shopping and bought only xlg clothes instead of 3x or 4x's which is amazing, but looking at the pics for the weekend I still look huge on pictures and don't find I look any different naked either.  I guess this is probably a hormonal issue but I really hate it.  I don't feel like doing anything or even getting dressed, oh well I guess this too shall pass, ugggggg

4 Month Surgerversary!!

Jan 28, 2010

Today is my 4 month surgerversary, and I'm doing good, at the beginning it was tough and there were many days I regretted my decision, but now I am so happy most days especially with the amazing results.  I have lost a total of 56 pounds and 23.5 inches,  I have goone from a size 26-28 to a 18, that is so amazing.  On my first labs I found out I am very low on iron, so I am always exhausted,  but I know that can be changed so its all good. I do still miss some foods that I use to eat, and I miss drinking during meals, but all in all I wouldn't go back, and I hope that I am strong enough to never go back to my old weight!!  Happy Surgerversary to me!!

trying to keep up the faith

Jan 11, 2010

well another week has gone by, and I only lost a pound that is all i have lost actually in 3 weeks and it is starting to get really disappointing.  The sisters and I are going for our shopping weekend in Grand Forks in Feb. so that gives me a month to lose more weight, otherwise I will feel like what is the point in going cloths shopping yet?  I really thought I would have lost more by this time, I am not even half way to my goal, ugg.  But on the positive side I did hit 50 pounds today and that is a great accomplishment so I will try to look on the bright side of things.  Now hopefully I can get my iron level up and start loosing a lot more weight!!  Here's to hoping the next month goes smoothly and i can buy a lot of new clothes!!!

just over 3 months out

Jan 03, 2010

well I haven't written for a while, there are days that i ask myself why did I do this, and then there are days that it's like yeah i am super pumped that I did have the surgery.  I lost 3 pounds over Christmas, so that in itself is amazing. But there are so many days lately that I can't get my protein in, I was doing so good and now anything I eat doesn't taste good, and anything I eat makes my pouch grouchy.  I am getting all my vitamins in and most of my water, but anything else, makes me sick.  I have never in my life found food disgusting, but it pretty much is that way right now.  I don't know if I should be happy or sad about this.  Lately my calories are under 600 again, so I am not sure if I should be worried.  I have lost 49 pounds so far and am really pleased, I hope I can do almost that well in the next 3 months, but I guess we will see.  Well I will keep on trying to get my protein, liquids and vitamins in and see what I can accomplish!  Here's hoping things will continue to get better!!

Last night in the hat, yeah

Oct 05, 2009

I am sitting here and watching tv and just waiting to go home, I miss my kids sooooo much, and yes even the fighting, lol.  I miss my sisters and all my friends and can't wait to see my new bathroom that my awesome sister is redoing, and I even miss our dogs, yes, I said it lol,,  I don't miss casey dog's breath.  I can't wait to see my house, everything!!!, lol. I can't even imagine how bored Ray must have been here the whole time, He is the greatest husband anyone could ever ask for!!! Ever since I left the hospital, all I have wanted to do was go home, it was great to go to a wonderful lady Barb and her husbands place out here, she is an angel, taking us under her wing and not even knowing us.  Shows that there are truly some wonderful people still around.  I have no idea if I have lost anything but I do know that this is a hard road and it will hopefully get easier with time.

2nd post

Jul 31, 2009

Well today is my second time blogging, not reallysure what I should write about, things this week have not been so good, I am staying at the same weight which I guess is a good thing, but when your this heavy every day is depressing.  My surgery is set for sept.28th which is not that far away but everyday feels like a year when you want something so badly.  I can't even imagine how long it would have been if i hadn't called for cancellations on the consult and the surgery date.  The worst thing is that I have an amazing husband and kids that love me for who I am and not my weight.  But I hate the way I look.  I feel like I am always eating and never full, so I can't wait till I actually feel full.

Depression has always been a huge issue in my life, growing up I was always overweight or had bad acne and then facial hair, so I have never had a good self esteem.  I guess that I should quite whinning and just be grateful for the good things in my life!  Here's hoping next week will be an easier one!
