Hello OH family I just got back from Vegas and I LOVED IT!!!! I was having a blast. I was walking and walking that strip that my plateau is NO MORE!!!. I danced off them pounds and was working it. Well I will share the trip in a bit. I hope everyone had and is having a great time with their WLS and that everything is going well. I will talk soon.

Hello OH family,

  I just wanted to stop by and say hello and see how everyone was doing. I have been OK getting into the right habit of knowing what foods go with what and how to burn them and store them in the right way. It's a bit confusing but I will get it. So I hope everyone is doing fine this week and doing their best.

I have given up on the scale for now and will focus on the inches. I have lost so many inches I feel soooo good. I got back into my old clothes and they fit better then they did before. I also started buying XL clothes and hey!! I feel good. I have been 17 days post op and there are times when I feel OK lets get this weight off but then I try on some of my clothes and say WOW! It is a big thing for me.


I have also noticed that my skin seems to be going away with the inches. Ok I have had three girls and loose skin comes with the territory. So for those of you who know what kind of skin and type you know what I'm talking about. Well I have noticed that it seems to be shrinking and is not loose or hanging the way it did. I didn't have a "peek-a-boo" but you get me. So I have to say I'm glad I'm loosing inches right now because of I wasn't I would be going crazy.

I noticed I started rejecting a lot of my food. I stopped liking egg salad never did before but after it was OK for a day in a half. Water seems to be a little hard to swallow but I'm getting there. I wonder if I have to sip all the time because the thirst drink is calling me. I will post some photos and you can tell me if you see a difference.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any support groups I can join on line because there are none where I live. Just holla at me.

I have been stressing about not loosing a pound. Today I found out it has something to do with my cycle. I sure hope so because I'm going crazy. I know it has only been only two  weeks but I'm going crazy was loosing 2 pounds regularly and now nothing. I know I should stop tripping but I just want everything to work well.

I realize I was not getting enough calories like under 500 if that and I had to step my game up little. Lost a pound because of that but like I said not sure until this cycle passes. Wow I said I would not be like one of those people who stresses about their weight constantly, but when you start fitting into old clothes you haven't seen since 2 kids ago you become a little anxious. I really had to vent my husband thinks I'm tripping and maybe I'm. I just feel hell I made this change I want to see result but in good time.

I apologize OH family I'm just going through one of those days. You know the one when you feel less then you did a day or two ago. Damn mother nature. Well Thank you for allowing me to vent and sound like a damn fool. Well I have school and I'm going to get to it. Talk later.

Well OH family today has probably been the first day that I actually feel like myself before the surgery. I mean I felt OK just was weak and did not move around like I normally would. But today I was up cleaning my house, doing my girls air, fixing dinner, and of this while maintaining my eating schedule.

I really feel proud of myself because now I feel like there is a brighter path. I have always thought that just haven't been feeling it till today. I'm also not feeling like I want to gulp down my water to full fill the thirst. Which is good. I have to have a hot cup of tea before I can take ice cold water. But it all works out. I'm really trying to be healthy enough to go to Vegas so I can enjoy myself and not have to worry about being the party poo- per.  Well I have been absent for wahile and thought I should drop by and say how I was doing. I hope everyone else is doing fine as well.

Well Tuesday I went to to my fist visit after the surgery and everything went well. I was a little worried but things turned out great. I didn't get to see my surgeon but I seen one of the others. She was OK. She though it weird that I have not had nausea or a fever I though she was loosing it because I thought the  was to make sure we are feeling fine. Well anyway she gave me a list of foods to eat for week two and three (Thanks Sweets for the heads up) She also gave me B12 and Multi - vitamins prescription. Week three will be my calcium. She had me take a chest x ray because she though I might have pneumonia due to the Flem crap in my throat. I won't know anything till tomorrow so lets pray it comes back alright.

She said I lost a lot of weight for my first week but even with my girls having a c-sec I always lost a lot of weight. I'm not complaining as long as I feel fine and nothing seems to be wrong I say "loose it babe" I have had this weight on me to long to be having any complaints when it comes off even if I don't see it the scale e and theirs say so that's good enough for me OK. Now that I have vented I had cottage cheese for my first food and only had three bits. Today I went for the pintos and three there to but it was good. The waiting to drink is the hardest I have always washed my food down after a meal never before would I drink but after so this is something I need to learn and fast.

I will check in again later to keep everyone up dated. So till next time.

Well tomorrow will be one week and I can say it has been a long one . I go to my second follow up on Tuesday I hope everything goes well. I finally got rid of my head hunger. Yeah!! I'm glad to say that I look forward to weighing myself in the mornings. I have figured that if I continue to loose two pounds a day until the 18th of Feb. I will have lost 55 pounds and will be looking goooooood for Las Vegas. Every year the ladies, friends, family, all sorts come together and rent a house and hang out for a weekend. It is the life, last year we went to Tahoe and I have to say I loved it. This year Sin City baby.

Well I have to say other people see a change in my appearance although I don't. I know I have lost some weight but not enough for me to be stepping out just yet. Well I wish everyone a great week and hope all of you have met ur goal in WLS or will be.

Hello everyone. just sitting here eating my breakfast of chicken strained broth. last night was hard for me sleeping, trying to get comfortable and sipping. When I do get a good nights rest it feels as though i have been laying there all night comfortably. Hoping this passes. Well going to finish breakfast and watch a movie until lunch. I'm having jello ummmmmm good lmao. Well till next time.

Does anyone know how to change my surgery date to post op its not working or I have no clue what I'm doing.

Well I been doing pretty well. Pain meds make me sleep and walking has my legs hurting but its all for the best. I still have gas but I'm able to pass it so it make recovering a bit more bearable. I feel good really do or maybe its the meds. Not much of a med type of person but i have to say I feel good. Well sipping on some crystal diluted to the fullest drink and breathing in that breath tester for the lungs.  I'm excited to see what the scale will say when I go back on Feb.2. I hope it has good news or will I have only been loosing water pounds? Questions to ask.

Well I wish everyone else a safe recovery and hope you are doing well. For all of those who are waiting your journey will begin soon hang in there.
