It's been a while since I checked in. I have been busy with work and family. I feel great and I have tons more energy. I keep meaning to go to the gym, especially since I've lost about 100 lbs. I really need to firm up a few areas. Oh and where did my boobs go?????

I saw a picture of myself that was taken a year ago and I thought boy that poor lady looks miserable and what a cow!! Then I realized it was me.

I will try to get a few pictures posted of my progress.

Down to 208. This is wonderful. I still have issues with eating slowly and being able to tell when I'm full. My clothes are hanging on me and I love it!!!

Hey there. I'm a little bit bummed because I've been at the same weight for about 2 weeks. I returned to work on March 5th and the first few days were difficult. I was very tired and seriously wanted a nap midway through the day.  I have been trying normal foods again and have had very few problems other than knowing when to stop eating. I still eat a little too fast also. So before I know it, I feel overly full. I have this fear that I have stretched my pouch and will never lose weight again.

I know that I am being paranoid about it...the scales will move soon. I want to wait til the weather is a little warmer before I start walking. I got a new puppy so I will need to walk her several times a day. I think that we will enjoy our little walks together. 

Well gotta go for now...laundry to do!! (Ugh)

This experience really has me wondering what in the world was I thinking. I have had trouble keeping pills down, intestinal infections, zero energy and now my hair is starting to break off.

I know that the weight loss is the best thing for me, but I do not think that I realistically thought about how I was going to feel after surgery. I am always nauseas, I cannot stand to swallow crushed pills, certain smells gag me....


Just having a bad day. Things will get better

I feel surprisingly great. I wasn't sure what to expect but I have really been amazed at how smooth my recovery is going. I have not been hungry at all and I no longer have acid reflux!!! This is great.

I did have a little trouble in the hospital with the PCA pump-apparently morphine ain't for me.

I have minimal pain however I did have to have my gall bladder removed and that has caused some explosive bowel movements.

I met with Dr Lucktong and his staff again today and had my pre op testing. I really didn't have alot of questions for them since I've been researching this sooooo much.

I am really excited and a little apprehensive as my surgery date grows closer.

I'm scared, excited and nervous. I have been waiting for this for almost a year and in just 12 short days, my life will change forever.

I think that this is the best thing that I can do for myself and the best gift that I can give my husband and children. 

Today, I started buying baby food, canned tuna and chicken and unsweetened applesauce. I am trying to stock up on the things that I know that I will be allowed to have shortly after coming home from the hospital. I also bought some Crystal Light and some Fruit 2 0 water. 

I guess I will continue to stock up till the day of surgery. This will help my husband the most since he will have three little girls to care for while I recover.
