Okay.. the good news and the bad news.

Good News  I am down 30lbs in one month.  I am banded and feel great!  I have a fill in 16 days.  I am eating alot of protein.  I am behaving over 80% of the time.

Bad News  I gained back 3 lbs since being on real food that isn't Jello.  I am still happy and I knew it would happen.  I need to get motivated to get to the gym.  School starts in 2 weeks and I wont have time again. UGH.

I am very happy to be here.. and my husband and dogs love me.  Who could ask for anything more?

My goals for the New Year are:

264 lbs gets me into a BMI starting with a 4. and a 51 lb loss.
240 lbs is a 75 lb loss
215 lbs is a 100 lb loss
199 lbs is a new digit and a 116 lb loss

I hope to obtain these this year.  I believe with hard work and patience I can do these in 2007.

Stay tuned to find out!

I am so shocked.  I have lost 30 lbs since the first of the month.  This is stellar!  I feel so different.  (still sore) but different!

I know I will start slowing down now since I start Mushies tommorrow, but I am still pleased for 21 days work!

Best Decision of my Life!

Surgery went well.  I am surprised I don't hurt more than I do.  I only occassionally hurt in the middle of my back (Gas) and at my port site.  My port site is in the middle of my stomach between my ribs.  Kinda different from what I ve have been reading, but I am not worried.

I have lost 23.5 lbs since 12/1.  So more than a pound a day.  This is not going to continue, but I will love it until it does stop.  

I love the people here at OH, lots of folks checking up on me.  I love this community!

Day 12 is here.. and I'm still alive.. SHOCKER!

I am now down 20.5 lbs in 12 days.  This is amazing.  But then again, my body is eating all the muscle and I probably look like the jello I am eating.  I have had a piece of cheese here and there to give me some energy.  Nothing major.

Still not nervous.  I am not sure if this is a good thing, or a bad thing?

I am no longer hungry.  My body is used to not eating I guess.  Which is nice.. but I would still love to have some food that tastes like food.  Not craving anything bad.. (like chocolate, or munchies)  I would love some cheese, potato, or meat.  After my first week after surgery, if I see Jello-O again I will scream!

Anyway.. the good news is I'm now down 17.5 lbs in 9 days.  Is this really healthy?  I am happy.. my energy level is back to where it was before 12/1, so I guess I am okay, right?

6 more days til surgery.  Not at all nervous.  

That's all for now.

Okay this sucks.. Medifast bites my big juicy hinney!  It tastes like chalk!  No wonder you lose weight, no one eats for 2 weeks.  

I am venting today.. I have headaches, I am sore all over, and am extremely tired.  But I know it is worth it.  That is why I am complaining here, and not on the board.  

On the bright side.. this morning I was 15 lbs light than I was 5 days ago.  *Yes, I know it is water weight.*

10 more days til surgery!  YEAH!

Okay.. this is messed up.. I have stopped caring what I have been eating (pre op folks) and I am starting to lose the weight I have gained in the last month.  Why am I so backwards?

4 weeks left of class.. and 5 weeks til surgery.. yeah!!

Well.. I keep fluxing on the 2 lbs left to lose.  I guess this is a good thing.  I have read about other people binging before the surgery and gaining a ton of weight.  I guess 2 lbs in 4 months isn't that bad.  I mean really, I am 170lbs over weight.  What is 2 lbs????

Okay this bites.. I have put on 7 lbs since deciding to have surgery.  The irony is, I am not eating more than usual.  I am actually doing some form of exercise.  I know I could be trying harder, but like is super busy right now.  (excuses, excuses)  I have two months to get my act together.  In some ways it seems like forever, others.. it will be here in a minute.

Okay, today is officially two months before the surgery.  The wait is maddening.  I don't regret waiting until after the school semester.  I just wish it would move along alittle faster!!!  Patience is a virtue I no longer possess.
