Well I have to say that I have been on a ride and the ride is not an all fun one, at all times it is a bumpy one. Anyways let me explain I feel like I am doing so so on my weight loss I am now at 232 from 293 just 15 weeks ago so that part is great I think compared to others I wouldn't think so but for myself I thinks it's good. okay so here comes the bumpy ride my family , I have a very good husband as for hard working doesn't drink doesn't smoke never in trouble always willing to help out my family with all their little or big projects but as for supporting me in my new journey of life a healthy one! he does not support me for instance I got a membership to shapes and I really enjoy going to shapes when I have time (I started my new job and all) but he says well instead of spending that money and going over there use your extra energy and time and clean this house! so then I get mad and I don't go... okay now I have found a friend to walk with and her and I like to walk around 7:30 and that has just been a  battle with him, he says  well just walk the lawnmower around the house and you'll be walking and getting the lawn mowed.
            At the same time well I am sure enjoying fitting into different clothes though and all the great complaments  others have for me. My parents have been gone for about a month and more so I can't wait til they get home they will be able to lift up my spirts and tell me how much better I look! okay well just had to vant a little about my not so nice about  WLS husband!!!!!  I am fitting into a size 18  from a 26-28. WOW i like the way that looks!!!!!

Wow I am down to 238  and I can't believe it! I am so happy. I just wish my husband was as happy as me! oh well I know he'll come around! Yesterday being fathers day I got up cooked breakfast and when he got up I was here on OH (I just can't get enough) and he just still is not happy with my WLS and loosing anyways he came out and said I had a bald spot in the back of my head 1st I was kinda freaked then I said oh well it will grow back and then he just made those kind of comments all day like oh I thought u said you lost so much u should be able to pass by my chair without me moving in..... oh and the pair of size 20 jeans I put on were big and I said no I am not going to leave these on they are baggy and he said oh u wear tight clothes now!!! anyways thats his problems not mine!!!!!
I am still doing summer school and getting ready for my new job starting Monday I am going to work in a dr's office I am a bit nervous but yet ready to do something new!
as for me and my WLS I am eating 3 times a day tring to have no snacks if I do have a snack it is string cheese or something like that! I have a shake in the AM and one in the afternoon and 1 proien bar a day I started going to the gym last week I made it 3 times but I don't see that happening my son has appointments 3 times this week dentist ,Dr ,And specalist. so I am at least going to try to for Wed and hopefully Thurs. 
Well I feel great and I am so happy I had WLS I do beleive that I am loosing slower but I am feeling good about it.Well thanks for reading and check it out I finally did it and put on a ticker now I want to watch it go down!! bye for now Shirley

Well  11 weeks sure has gone by fast and here I am can I tell you 52 pounds lighter and WOW how great does it feel. I am so happy with myself  I feel like it's coming slow compared to others but this is my road and I am taking my road as the way I am suppose to. A lot has happened in 11 weeks trying to keep up with my own stuff  but now my husband has had alot going on he found out through lots of testing (some that I wouldn't like taking) that he has GERD, a hyadial hernia and ulsers so, least to be said I am doing well comparded to him! I have lost 54 pounds and doing very well taking 2 protein shakes a day and at least 1 protein bar. I eat but very little and am happy with that. Been to alot of party's lately and just does bother me a little that I am not being able to drink a couple of drinks I am a much more social person if I drink so I find that I don't stay at the party as long as I would have 11 weeks ago! 
           I think that everyone is getting along with my surgery now well at least better than they were!!!!! well I am in an 18 -20 size now down from 26-28. I really can't wait til I can just buy average clothes but now I find I need to buy the shorts I have always been short but now I don't have all that extra that takes up some length too. Oh yeah shoes fit big too!!!! weird hu? okay write more later summer school is in and I have to get to work oh yeah and I got a new job offer and I took it I start in a Dr's office the 25th of June! Can't wait! bye for now!

Well I am 6 weeks on this side and WOW how good does it feel.......
I have lost around 33 pounds and I do have to say most of the time I feel great yesterday at work was a great one. Everyone @ work has been so supportive that I could never ask for a better bunch of understanding people. I was told at least 6 times that I sure am looking great and that they can really see a difference already. My husband is not so suportive he told me at church over the weekend that if I didn't stop loosing that he may ask this other heavy set woman if she is available because he needs some meat on his woman I said 
oh well I didn't do this for you I did it for me! 
well I had to up my protein to 3 shakes a day and up my iron I went to the Dr last week and he said thats why I was so fatiged ( TIRED) so I do have to say I do feel better. We my sister and I are ghoing to Orlando to the OH conference this weekend I can't wait to hear some of the stories I am just amazed by the stories. Well I will write again when I have an update I am so proud and happy with my self. bye for now.
