I am feeling great! I have lost at least 12 lbs and looking good. It is so surprising seeing myself shrink so quickly!
I don't know what I was expecting, but this is fantastic. Surgery went well and being at home resting for a week was a smart decision. Thank god for my husband, he has been so good to me. Cleaning my bandages, cooking, cleaning, what more can I ask for. Thank you, Chris!

I am in love with this sleeve, it's the smartest thing I have done for myself. I am happy, starting to look real good, and know one day that I will achieve any goals I set out for myself.

This past week has flown by, being on a high protein liquid diet has helped curve my appetite. My husband said, if it was so easy why do the surgery. I said, because I know I will eventually fail and I know my surgery is forever. 
I do have family support, but I still get a lot of comment, you are not heavy, are you sure you want to have surgery in Mexico.

I am very excited and look forward being on the losers bench. Went to Vegas this last weekend, my husband encouraged me to go to the buffet. I couldn't eat prime rib and I was happy about it. It was very difficult to chew and swallow, I know I am doing the right thing. FYI, I hate buffets.

Today I will go to get my cashiers check and going to the Vitamin Shoppe to check out what they may have that will interest me. So far, I like the Kellogg Strawberry premade drinks (high in sugar) and the pink lemonade protein powder. I had a busy week, so I had very little time to think about sugar.

Sorry that I am going back and forth on my blog. I am thinking of so many things, surgery, my boys, work. I will try to keep everyone posted.

Thanks!

I am so excited, so much to do until then. I had verified my deposit was received and there will be room for my husband at the recovery house. Time is going by so quickly, I am glad to have other events on my calendar to keep me busy. As stated earlier, I am testing food for after my surgery, baby food is so bitter. Now I know why babies make that face, poor kids. I am still trying to find other foods, even considering going vegetarian after my surgery. I know meat is very hard to process, I don't know if the
I want to eat something that is only going to make me sick. That is the way I am, if I know my stomach does not agree with something, I just go throw up. Why make myself so sick until my stomach wants to process something it doesn't like. I would much rather avoid the torture. 
As I put my winter clothes away, it makes me so happy knowing they will not fit me when I pull them out this winter. We will had a pre birthday party for me this past weekend. Only because I will have had surgery one week before my real birthday, I don't think I will be in a party mood then. It will be my 40th Birthday and I received several Victoria Secret gift certificates, I can't wait to spend them! I love stocking and garter belts. 

I am very happy and will not miss my old ways, I am going to do it right this next time. Eating healthy, exercise, and happiness. 

I am 11 1/2 weeks until my surgery, I am so excited. I thought I was heavy my whole life, but I really wasn't heavy until I hit 22 yrs old. I have been fighting my weight since then. My husband Chris and just about everyone in his family had the gastric bypass a few years back and they all look great. Chris exercises 6x a week and is full of energy. He is very active with our two boys and I couldn't ask for anything more. Except for myself to feel better. I have been up and down with my weight and I am so tired of fighting. I am so ready to be smaller than my sisters and being a healthier person.

My mom tells me, "Why would you do that, you can't eat anything?" My response was, "They can't eat anything and they are happy. I can eat everything and I am not happy." I would rather be happy than stuffed and drunk. That is another thing, we grew up being drinkers. For me I could let that go, it's not what I want and alcohol is not a necessity. I do have my families support and they all wish me well, I thank God for that. I will finally be happy, I miss being happy. Well, soon enough. I have my calendar set, I am testing what I will need in my pantry that I will like. And am so lucky I could take everyone else's small clothes they can't fit into anymore. hehe. I am stocking up!! Did I say I am very excited. I want to be part of the losers bench!
