Well, I'm still totally lovin my RNY.  I have not regretted it for a minute.  I have lost 65 lbs since surgery plus 20 pre-op.  I wear size 16 pants and like XL tops.  WHAT THE HELL?  That totally freaks me out.  I NEVER thought this could actually be happening.  But, alas, it is!!  I am feeling better everyday.  I have these major stalls from hell, but then from one day to the next, 5 lbs will be gone.  I know I could be doing even better if I stuck to an exercise plan and stopped the snacking all together.  I don't dump, so I indulge in bullshit snacks once in awhile.  I NEED TO STOP THAT!

I am addicted to turkey meatballs with marinara sauce and mushrooms with mozerella melted on top served with green beans.  I eat that combo at least once a day.  Sometimes I feel like smoking a darn ciggy but I don't wanna start that whole transfer of addictions BS.  Oy!

Anywhoo, felt like a post.  Also, feel like a tummy tuck already and its only been almost 4 months.  Hate the tummy right now.  But I guess having loose skin is better than having the skin filled up!

God Bless!

So I have decided that I love all the attention... YAY! Is that bad? I get so excited when I hear people say how good I look. It is very motivating. But it also feels strange because I always have had really high self esteem. Like when I used to look in the mirror I would see a hottie! But, hello, when I would see pictures of myself, that hottie was not there!! So now, I still see the same person in the mirror, I still do not SEE any weight loss. I know it is happening because clothes are a totally different ball game, but the image is the same. I guess that is just my screwed up, Shallow Hal, body crap...

I have lost 71 lbs total. 51 are post-surgery. I had the stall from hell the whole month of February. I am gonna kick it up a notch this month with the exercising. I have a lot of catching up to do.

Anyway, my kids were in a rodeo this weekend and I had a blast there, in my new Lucchesse boots! Yee-ha!! I have an awesome husband and great friends and so today I just feel thankful and happy!

Tomorrow may be different....

So today I feel today enthusiastic.  I haven't weighed in since last Sunday, but I've lost 35 lbs since 12/10.  I will have to see if anything has happened this week.  I've been walking at the track and feeling like I wanna run... ALMOST!  It's like my brain just wants my body to take off, but my darn feet won't let it.

Lately, whenever I see someone struggling because of their weight, I just wanna hug them and tell them all about WLS.  I DO NOT like seeing people suffer.  EVERYBODY should be able to have this surgery, you know? 

Anyway, just getting the hang of blogging about this amazing trip of mine....  More to come....

WOW, I can't believe I am already at 4 wks.  I thought I was gonna die the first week.  I was just miserable.  But now I feel great.  I am still trying to figure out what I can tolerate and what will make me throw up.  But it really hasnt been that bad.  Clothes fit better, I have more energy, and I am not thinking about food all day anymore...

I wish it was already 6 months from now and this part was already behind me.  I just want to wake up and already be past this part!!!  uggghhh..
