Okay, I have hit a stand still in losing weight.  I have been at the same weight for the last 2 weeks and I am getting frustrated.  It might be I have changed what I have been eating.  I started eating bread.  Therefore I am not eating that any more until I can start losing again.  I also have been working out more with weights than before so hopefully it is the gaining of muscles.  Wish me luck......I will take any suggestion on what I can do!!

I went to see Dr. Suh last week and all is well.  Well, except for he said that I need to eat more.  Although, I am losing weight consistly.  Therefore, I am trying a lot harder to eat 4 times a day, and that is hard!!! 

I have noticed that some weeks are harder than others.  I may stall 1 week out of the month but make it up in the next 3 weeks.  So, I am not to worry about the 1 week.

I have less than 4 weeks before I go on vacation and I can't wait.  I am going to South Beach for Memorial Weekend!  What an excuse to buy new clothes, huh?

That's all for now......I will keep in touch....

Okay I went yesterday for my 1 month check up with Dr. Suh and the results were great!  He said that I am doing great, therefore he changed my food intake.  Yea!  Now I can eat veggies, fruits and meat except for no red meats and no grapes.  O' yeah I forgot no rice, pasta, or bread.  But that is okay.  I have lost to date 32 pounds.

It has almost been 1 month since my surgery and I am down 24 pounds.  I am losing approximately 4 pounds a week.  I am truly happy with the weight lost.   Now I need to start toning up.  Anyone have an suggestions on how to gain muscle or tone your biceps and triceps???   I will update next week after I see my wonderful surgeron Dr. Suh.....Hopefully he will add more food to my list   Oh yeah I almost forgot, I have not had any problems at all!! 

                      

Since I have been out of the hospital I have not had any issues.  I now has been 6 day post op and I have not had any pain medicine since 11 am on the day of surgery (boy am I lucky).

And here we are now on January 27th.....and I had my first week check up.  The nurse weighted me in at 12.5 pounds down from the day before surgery, then took out my staples.

Now I can eat some food with substaints....

The next day I could not wait to see the doctor for all I wanted was some water.  But he did not see me until 2 pm and talking about how good water tasted.....man I can't even explain.  I got up by myself took a shower put on my pj's and robe and went on a journey....I walked for a while....I was released from the hospital on my third morning at 9 am. 

The day of surgery, was I nervous I don't even think so.  My surgery time was 730 am.....yeah, did not have time to even think about changing my mind.  I was in recovery at 10 am, and to my room by 11 am.  I remember talking to my mom and the nurse (Elizabeth) she was great......She checked on me periodicaly for I had never been in the hospital.  Elizabeth told me she was coming back to get me out of bed to walk.  And she did just that, but I had a surprise for her.  When she was taking me back to my room I told her I was not ready.  Therefore, we walked some more, she could not believe it.  The nurse also told me I looked great for having surgery just a few hours earlier (like I never had the surgery).
