Topic: Why are they eating around me??????
Is there anyone that can relate to how I feel. Am I wrong to feel betrayed when my family all munch and stuff their faces in front of me? Why do I feel they are being insensitive? I realize that it was MY decision to do this so why do I feel this way? I just want to be alone until I can learn to cope with this lifestyle!
Literally at this moment I am surrounded by a room full of smacking mouths on McDonalds meals. I am trying to type as loud as I can to tune them out. I am only 2 1/2 weeks post-op. I am on a soft diet. I have yet to see the benefits of wls. I know my latter will be greater....I pray!

Its crazy LOL. I got a pair of capris at Lane Bryant 2 weeks ago on the clearance rack. Size 28 and I couldnt button them. Not even close. But with the sale and coupon they were like 5 bucks. 2 weeks later I can pull them off while they are still buttoned!!!! Crazy.

Topic: RE: Am I on track with everyone else????
I know exactly how u are feeling right now. Questioning if you are losing at the right amount of weight when you should be. The number on my scale has been at 348 for over 11 days now and I am feeling like I am not doing something right. The first week I lost 24 pounds and I am waiting patiently for another lose of any weight. I decided to put my scale in storage, only bring it out once a month. I am a slave to my scale and have shed too many tears because of it. Right now I am going to just keep track of inches and how much better I am feeling and keep in mind that I am down 40 pounds since my surgical consult.
The hardest part for me though is I am an emotional eater so when I get on that scale and see that I still haven't lost weight after this long the first thing I want to do is solve my sadness with food. When I come to terms that is no longer possible it gets pretty depressing but thats something else that I am fixing with this journey.
Anyways keep up the good work Rachel you are doing great. Can't wait till I drop a good amount of weight and you can go with me to pick out my first pair of stilettos.

i had surgery on September 6th and i am down 30 pounds. I think a little of it was due to me having strep throat for a few days and being pretty sick.

Is anyone out there that had surgery under Dr. Babineau in Tyler? It would be nice to talk with you to see what you are doing and eating at this point.
Thank you,

Topic: In the first new size!!
Well it's official, I have lost 1 size in pants, 2 sizes in tops! 
I started out a 22, some clothes 24's in pants and 2x in shirts. Now my tops are XL!!! Pants are 20's!! Wooo hooooo!!!!
What amazes me is literally 4-5 days ago I tried on the same pants and I had a good inch to go to fit into them. I found out I had to travel for work next week and paniced about what was going to fit. Low and behold, don't my dress pants from 4 years ago fit... I bought them from LLBean back then and never got a change to wear them, can you beleive it??? Sad part it this will probably be the only time I wear the damn things, cause I work from home and by the next trip I'll probably have lost another size, LOL. Oh well gonna enjoy them next week!
