Week 19

May 12, 2009

Hi All!!  I hope this finds you well!!!  Things are going pretty well here for me:)  I finished my last final today and I am SO looking forward to a summer of not using my brain TOOO much:)  I have not had time for my family and I just can't wait to spend time with them again!    Well I think I am at week 19.  Things have started to go MUCH better since my last update:)  Just this last 4-6 weeks, I have started to figure this out a little more.  I feel SO great right now, I did not even realize just HOW crappy I felt before!  I am still not getting in the whole 61g. of protein OR all my water, but I am working on it.  I am not eating as much as my Dr. says I should be either, but he did not seem to be concerned when I went in a bit over a month ago.  I was pretty unsure about if I had made the right decision for a LONG time after the surgery, but I am making a change I think..I feel SO good, and I know there is more to come:)  So we sometimes get off to a tough start, but once you start to figure things out and feel good, you realize it was for the best, and I am SO happy I did it!!!  I was comparing myself to others at first, but I have stopped.  I have never had a BIG week, but it is OK, it is coming off and staying off:)  WOO HOO!!  As of today I am down a total of 75 pounds!  WOW!  That is a LOT:)  I have lost 54 since surgery Dec. 30...Well, that is all I have for now:)  Thanks to all of you for your help and support when I had questions!!  I hope you can all forgive my absence while I have been in school:)
