Major Plateau-February 29th, 2004

Feb 28, 2004

Februay 29, 2004 Weight 358 STILL
Hello everyone. I'm on the site everyday checking out the message board, but I forget to post on my profile. I have been doing really well with my eating. I've been drinking 64 and more oz of water a day. I found Crystal Light pink lemonade that I really like. I always thought Crystal Light was too sweet, but I decided to try some and now I think it's great. Also I've been exercising a lot, but as you can see my scale hasn't moved in 3 weeks. ARGH. I don't measure because I never know how and I don't measure in the same place every time. Oh well. You'll know when the scale moves because I'll scream it! I haven't been doing too bad with food issues. There are days when I want to eat things I shouldn't but then I just take a deep breath and do something else until it passes. Well, gotta go walk on my treadmill. Bye~ .

9 months and 140 lbs later-February 16, 2004

Hi Everyone, I am doing so good. I went to the doc last week for my 9 month check up. He was really excited with my progress. I have lost more in the last 3 months then I did in the previous 3 months. I have been trying to get more exercise and really making an effort to eat right. Also getting my 64 ounces of water in religiously. This site really helps also. There are times when I may want to do something I shouldn't and I come read the message boards and peoples profiles. It helps me to stay upbeat and remember why I'm here in the first place. Well, will write more later. Bye!


Having a bad day!- January 25th, 2004

January 25th, 2004 Weight 270...

Hi everyone! I'm down a little bit more. I've been trying to walk on my treadmill everyday. I realize I need to get more exercise in, but this is better then nothing. I've had kind of a crappy day. I'm really pissed off at my husband. I normally don't post stuff about my family. But, I just get so frustrated with him at times, which in turn makes me want to eat things I shouldn't. There is my problem. So, I've just been scoping out the messageboard and thought I would update. I'm on this site everyday but sometimes I forget to update. Anyway, I suppose I'll got to bed before I eat something I regret. Take Care everyone. I promise to be in a better mood next time.


A New Year, a New Beginning-January 9th, 2004

January 9th, 2004 Weight 276...

Wow! How time flies. I hope everyone had a nice time over the holidays. I had party after party, lol. I had a lot of fun and I didn't gain any weight, but man I just stopped losing ANYTHING for about 3 weeks. I'm going to cry! I really wanted to reach the goal I set for myself in November. I guess I still have about 4 weeks to lose more. I know I shouldn't play the numbers game. It doesn't help to dwell on what the scale says. But, it's so hard not to worship the scale like I always have. Anyway, other then that. I'm doing good. I really feel good. I took both of my seatbelt extenders off my seatbelt in the car. Man, that was AWESOME. Little victories like that make everything worthwile. I can also zip my winter coat this year. Actually a smaller winter coat. Last winter the coat I had was too small. Came nowhere near zipping over my hips. This year not only does that coat fit me but it is way to big. I have a smaller one and that one zips. That was such a great feeling. I hate being cold, and I always hated the fact that no coat, no matter how big was big enough to zip on me. That feels so redeeming. Well, I'm going to go to bed, but thought I would drop in and update. I know how much I worshipped every little nibble thrown out there when I was pre-op so I want to do this for the pre-ops, and the people who are just researching. If anyone of them reads my profile and it helps them, then I'm happy. Plus, it's cathartic for me and I still enjoy perusing the site. Toodles!

December and down another 6 pounds- December 7th, 2003

Dec 06, 2003

December 7th, 2003 Weight 281...

Hi everyone! It has been a little while since I last posted. I am down another 6 pounds. I had to really crack down and get on the ball. Dr. Stevens was not really disappointed in my progress but he and I both thought that I could be doing better. So, instead of seeing me in another 6 months, he is going to see me February 10th. I set a goal for myself to be at 250 by then. He said that goal was really great. He wouldn't have set that lofty a goal for me. But, I knew I can do it. From my appt date to the 10th of February is apx 10 weeks. And that would be about 4 pounds per week. And through the HOLIDAYS. I guess that is the best time to set a goal, so I will really be on guard. So, I will keep you posted. Bye friends.

November Already?! -November 23rd, 2003

November 23, 2003 Weight 287...

Hello all my WLS friends. I finally decided I needed to start a new profile page, since my other one was full. I am going to try to link the two together. I don't know if I'm smart enough for that or not. Well, I'm down 73 pounds since surgery. 6 months now. Since the first of the year I'm down 111 pounds. That is great, better then I ever imagined. I need to get on the ball and do better though. I don't always follow the pouch rules to a "T" and that isn't cool. Well, I'll close for now. I see Dr Stevens Tuesday the 25th. I'm excited. Write more later. God Bless all my fellow "losers".

45 Pounds in 3 Months (seems slow)-August 30th, 2003

Aug 29, 2003

August 30, 2003....weight 314

I am so excited, went to the doctor the other day. I'm down 45 pounds in 3 months. Dr. Stevens said that was good. I see him again in November for my 6 month check up. He said he would like to see me lose another 45 by then. I am going to lose another 55 by then. My goal is to be down 100 pounds at 6 months. I know I can do it. I've been eating better, exercising more and drinking more water. So, it should melt off. I'm going to be really working it. I can't wait to be under 300. It is so close, it really is exciting. Finally seeing some results of everything I've been through. Have a support group meeting coming up September 9th, can't wait. Then we have an anniversary party coming up for Liv Lite in October. That will be a blast also. It's nice to be part of the post op numbers. Well gotta go. Best of luck to all my wls friends.


Just Over 3 Months Out and Doing Good-August 25th, 2003

Aug 24, 2003

August 25, 2003....

Hello everyone. Everything is good here. I've been tracking my food intake on fitday.com I've been consuming about 900 to 1050 calories a day and burning three times that much. I need to get more active actually. I mean I'm always on the go, but need to focus on really working it. Need to get back to walking the football track, it has been so unbearably hot out that I haven't done that in a few weeks. I still am consuming more carbs then I would like, but I have cut way down on them. Also, definitely have been getting all of my water in. I drink 64 oz every day at work, then I drink more in the evenings but I don't keep track because I already have my minimum goal taken care of. I'm excited about seeing Dr. Stevens on Thursday 8/28. That is my 3 month check up. I can't wait to see how much weight I've lost. I try not to think that much about my weight but how my clothes are fitting. My clothes are fitting much looser, but it is hard to not care about the number on the scale. Well, I'll close for now. I'll update again after I see Dr. Stevens. Wish me luck..lol. God Bless!


Summer at the Lake Again-August 17th, 2003

Aug 16, 2003

August 17, 2003....

Hi everyone! I hope you all are well. I am doing good. Nothing came of the stomach pain I was having the last time I updated. It must have been contispation. It did take a few days to clear up, but I felt better after about a week, no more stomach pain. I just got back from the lake. It was so much fun camping. I remember last summer at the lake. What a difference a year and 72 pounds makes. I didn't have a swim suit that fit me last year. I had ordered the very largest size that the Lane Bryant catalog sold and it was to small for me. This summer I wore a size smaller than the one I ordered last year and even though I still looked bad in it, I could wear it comfortably and I could swim in it. It was unbelievable how much energy I had for walking to the shower house and just walking to the lake from the camper. Not to mention being able to sit in my fold up chair with arms and not needing help from someone else to pull me out of it when I wanted to get up. I can't wait until next summer at the lake. It is only going to get better. I have my 3 month check up with Dr. Stevens the 28th of this month. So about 11 days away. I am very excited to weigh in and see how much I've lost. I am 26 pounds (as of my last weigh in) from being under 300 pounds. I cannot remember the last time I weighed under 300 pounds. It would have been at least 15 years ago. I remember when I got married in 1988, I weighed in the 200's. That is the last time I remember being under 300. I am really shooting for a goal being down 100 pounds by the end of the year. Dr. Stevens says this is where he wants me to be, so I'm going to try very hard to get to that goal or beyond. Well, good luck to my WLS friends, pre-op, or post-op. Take care and God Bless.~
