i'm almost 4 months out and just had my first WOW moment!!!

Went shopping on Saturday for my daughters upcoming sweet 16, which i was putting off for a while.....I let my daughters pick out the dresses they wanted me to try on, nothing i would pick out because i still see the "fat" person, so after trying on numerous dresses the girls finally made a decision on which one was perfect............I Cant believe that i fit into a size 12 dress and look amazing!!!!  i can't remember the last time i fit into a size 12, its been over 16 years.....wow!!!!

Two months out and have lost 31 lbs!!!!  what a great feeling!!!  i am finally able to fit into jeans i haven't worn it over 2 yrs!  I am feeling great but at the same time i wish i had more energy!  Working out has been a difficult task since i'm ALWAYS TIRED!  still can't get all the protien shakes in but i have been able to meet the min of 70gms per day with food & protien bars.  I miss some foods but have learned to substitute with new foods.  This is a difficult journey but oh so worth it!

So I went today for my 4 week post-op ccheck-up and weighed in @ 202.4  that's only only 9.1 lbs lost in 3 weeks! ugh!  i thought i was suppose to lose this faster!  am i doing something wrong? 

today was a better day!  very little pain, just annoying soreness which was tollerable
got more liquid in today   but had a protien shake this morning that was just plain nasty!   didn't throw up but was grossed out by it & thankfully i only had 1 sample of it & know not to buy it again!

the unjury chicken soup flavor is pretty good so i will get more of that one.

getting in all the vitamins so far!

Looking forward to moving up to pureed foods!

I actually went thru with it!  Yeyy me!  i am feeling ok!  not happy about the taste in my mouth but i guess it will eventually go away! (hopefully!) 

i did great in the hospital with the fluids and moving around but once i got home i find it a bit difficult not to just stay on couch sleeping!  not having sucess @ getting at least 48oz of fluids  because of my naps!  and the calcium pettites are HUGE!!! need to order the upcal d or something chewable thats not gross!

haven't weighed myself at all and i'm glad!  i don't want to be fixated on a number so soon! 

  I started my 2 day liquid diet this morning, and so far it's been ok!  had a protien shake for breakfast with vitamins, and chiken broth with unflavored protien for lunch with a diet snapple.  i'm hoping i can survive this evening!  My darling daughter is performing at a Juvenile Diabeties foundation held outside at Rockaway beach, NY where it will be 25-30degrees outside & they will have a ton of food & drinks the will be giving out (of course it has to be the day i start liquids)  But i will take my protien shake and water & I know i'll be fine, not sure about handling the cold, but food is no longer an issue, i want to make sure nothing gets in the way of this surgery on Monday morning!  Gotta stay positive! 

So here i am waiting for Dec 6 to come and i keep trying to keep myself informed as to what to expect b4 & after surgery....today i read up on Hair loss!  one more thing to worry about!  UGH...not liking this feeling!  I already have thinning hair issues, now i have to worry about losing more????  I really have to just keep telling myself its just hair & it will grow back!  but the issue is that i will need some of it to stay so i'm not bald for my baby girls sweet 16 in April.......will i be able to overlook the hair loss when i can see the weight loss????  i sure hope so! 

I really was looking forward to having the RNY gastric bypass, but now that i have a surgery date & have read too many blogs 7 posts of what to expect afterwards, i'm starting to have 2nd thoughts.  this is not a nice felling!
