Christmas FART

Hey guys -

I hope all had a great Christmas. Hope all to have a happy New Year.

Well I must say, I went into this Christmas scared and sad. Scared cause I didnt want to gain. Sad because i knew I couldn't dig in like I used to. Also sad as this is the first Christmas since my divorce...kinda sucked.
I must say that I ate all the normal Christmas dinner stuff - prime rib, mashed tatters, green bean cass, buttercup squash, but in MUCH smaller portions. Yes I still over did it and was full for about an hour after, but it was worth it.

Here's the Christmas FART - I got up this AM, did the normal stuff. I weighed myself for my weekly weigh in and I was down from 284.4 to 279.3!!!! I was down 5 lbs!!! I could not believe it. To make it better, I had to get rid of the 46" and now I'm in the 44"'s!!!

Damn it was a good Christmas.......

That's awesome! Congratulations!! I know exactly how you feel. Since surgery I don't enjoy food like I used to (I guess that's true for all of us). Not only can we not eat as much, but we don't really enjoy what we CAN eat, at least not the way we used to. On top of that is the fear of overdoing it and either gaining weight or making yourself sick. I tell ya, I pay more attention to what I eat now than I ever did when I was trying to diet. Congratulations on losing weight over Christmas and retiring the 46's, that's something to brag about!

See it just goes to prove Santa knows when you good or bad, and rewards all the good WLS patients. Congratulations my friend.

Sean, Great job!!!  What a christmas present. I'm sure you will have a awsome 2008!

Thanks for all the encouragement and kind words. It really means a lot.
