I just got a BPF this morning on a pregnancy test!!!!!

As of this morning I have officially lost 100 lbs!!! I am down 100 lbs and have 48 more lbs to go to get to MY goal weight!!!! I have never felt so good in my entire life...

As of tomorrow I am six months out of surgery... Really... Six months already?? Although I have been stuck at the same weight now for almost a month, I know it will start moving again soon... But six months... I am just amazed with my progress... I look at old pictures, and I do not even recgonize the person looking back at me.... I am so much happier now, and I feel so accomplished already.... I know this surgery has changed my life for the better, and I am so happy with my decision to have the surgery... I hope everyone is doing well. I have not been on the website for a while, but I think I need to start back here on a regular basis.... What do I do to get the scale moving again????

Here is a comparison photo I made... and all I can say is WOW-- really... That was me???

I am in English this semester at school, and its research paper time! Lucky for me, one of the topics was Bariatric Surgery!!! Obviously I have choosen to do that topic, given the circumstances! My question for anyone on OB help willing to help me out is I have to include a survery and interview with this research paper. If you are willing to help, can you please comment me, or email me at tierra_012683 @ yahoo.com and Ill email you the survey and interview for you to fill out and send back to me? I would appreciate any help. If i get no replies, I might just post it, and hope someone does it. I need about 10 people for each to fill it out, and the same 10 people can fill out both if they have time! Again any help would be appreciated!

As of Saturday morning, the 28th, I was at 199.6 lbs!!! I am under 200 lbs, and almost to my 100 lb mark!!! I have never felt so good about anything, as I do about this decision I made to change my life!!!!

It has been five months since my surgery... as of Today! So much has changed, and this was the best decision I have ever made for myself! I have had two scopes done, and at this point i have to give myself an injection twice a day to keep me from feeling sick all the time, but i would do it over again in a heartbeat! I am in a size 12/14 jeans from a 22/24! BIG changes!!! Almost under 200!!!!

It has been a long time! I just had my four month surg-versiry!  I am currently at 217! I started at 293 lbs... I started in a size 22/24, and currently wear a 14,15 or 16 depending on who makes it! I even got into a size 13 Levi's but knew that was pushing it!  :-) I have lost 75-76 lbs do date... when i went to dr on July 7th, I had went from 52 inch waist to 41 inch waste from month before... Does this sound right for where I am in my Journey? I still have my days, and i cheat sometimes. I think its human nature... For the most part though I do great! What is something I can do to make the weight loss pick up? I loose about 1-2 lbs a week, sometimes 3-4 but never much more than that.... Is this normal? Well i hope everyone is doing good! I have a facebook, so if you facebook add me! :-)

 

I have not written in a long time. Yesterday was my 2 month mark for my surgery, and it’s been a long road to this point. I have good days, and I have SUPER bad days…I find it hard to stick to the diet, but then I remember why I did this, and it makes it easier! I no longer crave the fast food, and the junk food I did in the beginning. I am starting to realize I can live without food all the time. I am not depending on it for everything…. As of right now, I have lost 49 lbs… I am scared though that I will fail and that this is where I will be forever….. I go through my down days, where I feel really depressed, and then have days where I feel on top of the world.. I am only human, so I have cheated, but then I get back on track... It’s just so hard…. I want the weight to just fall off, and some days it does not do that, or when I weigh it says I have gained (like today, it says I have gained 3 lbs). I just recently started drinking protein shakes, and I mean recently as in Monday… I finally found one I like! EAS chocolate! It taste like chocolate milk to me, with a little kick!!! I drink an 8 ounce shake in the morning, and an 8 ounce shake at night, getting around 33 grams of protein in each shake! More than the ZERO I was getting previously! Does protein cause you to gain weight? Is it normal to feel “stuck”? I know ill hit platos, but so soon? I know everyone looses at their own pace, but is 50 pounds around month 2 pretty normal? I feel so lost right now….

I am still having trouble getting my fluids... I try and push it because I have already been in the hospital once for this! I am getting better, but still not enough! As for Protein.. I found a protein shake I liked, but now i find it way to sweet! I used Muscle Milk light-- vanilla flavored, and its way to sweet for me! I gag at the thought of drinking it! I can not do the unflavored because to me it has a flavor! I am not eating enough to mix it with my food.. Any ideas there??

I am finally home! I got out of the hospital for the second time on Sunday the 28th! My second stay was longer than my original stay! I have to make sure I push the fluids... I was so dehydrated and not able to eat because of dehydration... I think I finally have this down! I am still NOT getting 64 oz in a day but i am getting around 40-50 which is much more than before!  Before I was only getting in 5-10 ounces! I have also found a protein shake I like, so that is working for me so far.. Its actually to sweet... So i will see..... I have lost 15 lbs since surgery! Almost at the 20 mark! Crazy how fast it does fall off!
