So now I am back to the basics.  Went to the nutritionist but still not motivated to lose the weight.  My doctor told me more than likely my stomach has stretched.  I'm very upset at myself.  I started out doing everything the way I was suppose to but I still didn't lose a large amount of weight.  Then my grandfather passed away and I lost even more motivation to try.  Listen to me just feeling sorry for myself.  Ugh!  How do I find that motivation to lose weight?  I feel my surgery was all for nothing.  :(

Well tomorrow I'm going to see my surgeon.  He is going to be very disappointed.  I had my surgery 1 year and 6 months ago.  I went down to 195, and now I'm back up to 203.  I haven't been able to lose more weight.  My family doctor told she was not going to take me off of my blood pressure and diabetis meds until I lose another 50 pounds.  Huh?  You've got to be kidding me.  Oh well will see how it goes at Dr. Alleyn's office tomorrow.  Hope he won't be to mad with me.

Wow!  I can't believe it.  It has been 1 year and 2 months since my surgery.  I was feeling disappointed because I lost only 51 pounds.  I feel much better about it now.  I talked to a pharmacist that told me she thinks the reason I didn't lose as much weight was because of the anti-depressant that I have been taking.  I have been on Cymbalta for about 2 years now and I can't believe none of my doctors thought about it before my surgery.  The pharmacist suggested I talk to my psychiatrist and ask her to change me to Wellbutrin.  Hopefully, once that happens I can start to lose some more weight.  I am also excited because I saw a friend that I hadn't seen in over a year and his first words were "OMG you have lost a lot of weight.  Girl you look good!"  That really made my day, week, month, and year.  Haha.  Well that's all for now.  Talk to you soon my friends. 

I am trying not to panic and get really worried that my pouch may have stretched or that I am doing something terribly wrong. I had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass 10 months ago and have lost 51 pounds.  I know that alone is a great accomplishment. I have not regained any weight but have not been able to lose anymore in 5 months.  I am tempted at times to give up and just eat whatever I want but I've got a great husband that encourages me to get back on track.  I certainly don't want to regain the weight.  I don't have an appointment with my surgeon until the 1 year mark.  I can't afford to hire a personal trainer to workout so I guess I just need to motivate myself to work a little harder.  I pray that this is just a plateau and that soon I can see some more weight loss.  I don't even want to think about needing a surgery revision.  I don't think I could get Medicare or my husband's insurance to cover that.  Ok stop worrying Sylvia and just work a little harder on eating healthy and working out.  That's all for now.  I'll try to stay on top of blogging more that might help, too.  :)

I am so excited!!  I am at my goal that I had set for New Year's I weighed in at 200.  I have lost 50 pounds since 8/9/10.  I can't believe it.  Yay me.  I read a post from a lady earlier in 2010 where she was very happy to be able to cross her legs.  Well I couldn't that before either.  Now I can and it is very nice to be able to do that.  It's the little things that I notice that are making me very happy.  I've gone from a size 22/24 to a size 16 and my jeans are already fitting me a little baggy from my legs and butt.  That's all the news I have for now. 

I don't know where this came from but I lost 4 more pounds.  Woohoo.  I am at 205 now.  I'm so hoping that I can be at 200 by New Year.  I'm going to try real hard to walk, take in all of my protein and water, oh and my vitamins.  It's been a little depressing that my weight loss has been so slow.  It will pick up again i just know it.  I shouldn't be so hard on myself.  After all, I had knee surgery and am now recovering.  The therapist told me that I could start walking again only as much as my knee can handle.  So I see more loss in my near future.  Merry Christmas everyone.

I am feeling really discouraged.  I am 16 weeks post op but I am stuck at 209 pounds.  I've been stuck for almost 8 weeks.  I feel like there is something that I am doing wrong.  I am really disappointed in myself.  Is this it for me?  Oh well. 

I am so excited because I've lost 2 more pounds.  Woo hoo!!!  I am working really hard at getting those liquids in.  I had some really great suggestions and am really trying.  Today is going to be an awesome day. 

Well here I am at 6 weeks post op and lost 30 pounds.  I wish it was more but maybe one of my problems is that I an having a hard time taking in 64 oz of water daily.  I've got to keep on trying.  Lately, I have been having dumping after I eat.  I don't know if I am eating too fast or just too much.  I'm measuring everything but sometimes it seems like it is too much food.  I had chicken (dark meat) yesterday and my tummy didn't like it.  Now I'm back to being afraid to eat.  I'm having a bad day.  I just don't know what to do and am questioning why I did this.

Wow, more weight loss.  I saw my Dietician today and am excited to report that I have now lost a total of 27 pounds.  Man oh man, I am flying on air. She told me that I am right on track with my meals and said I could start having chicken and lean meats.  We determined that I need to drink more water, take an extra protein shake, and I need to not drink for 30-45 minutes after meals.  Overall, an awesome visit.
