My new BMI IS NOW 31.7 still not great but instead of being morbidly obese i am just obese now....LOL........

well i am 9 weeeks out and i feel great!! I recently posted on the june board how i can wear my daughters jeans 11/12 she is now in a 9/10 she has lost weight since i have had surgery. 

i am starting to feel like when i look in the mirror........wow i have lost some weight...........i hate not accepting myself yet totally...but it is getting better everyday.

i love that i can come on here and the other people that have had the surgery understand everything that i am going through.

i love when people who haven't seen me in awhile see me and they are like wow you have lost alot of weight how did you do it????????

i still am having a hard time eating but it does get better .....

i think i have become a professional puker.........LOL

well just thought i would update my blog.....

JUST CHECKED MY NEW BMI IT IS 32.2 NOT GREAT YET BUT I WAS VERY EXCITED!!!

Well i have lost a ton of weight!!! I feel absolutely great!! I do bruise alot easier than i have before.I still get tired i mean exhausted when i do get tired.But i definately have more energy than i have in a long time, and that feels great! I can walk alot longer, i get up earlier, and can go go go!!!!
My feet don't hurt like they used to either so if i want to go somewhere i don't have to worry about the old feet.I am so glad that i had this surgery done because i feel this has saved my life! I am off my blood pressure medicine and that has been great!I love being smaller....i am far from being small but i definately am smaller!!! I love the great people i have met on here that know what i have been through, and what i am going through and are supportive and encouraging....my family has been great but they don't truly understand because they are not overweight.........this website is a God send to me.
i love that when i am out showing houses or listing a house and we go up a flight of stairs i am not winded that was so embarassing.....i love that i can go to the mall with my daughter and walk the whole thing and not be tired.i love that i took my kids to the zoo and walked the whole zoo and didn't have to sit down and take breaks and was not tired!!! would i have done this surgery again??????YES DEFINATELY

Well time is flying by just seemed like yesterday that i was waiting to get this done. I am down about 55lbs. I feel mostly great! I have alot more energy but when i get tired (i am exhausted).I am going through this nauseous feeling lately.I also bruise really easy. Well I am starting to look in the mirror and seeing some of the good.I still hate my stomach area,notice some more stretch marks here and there.I don't expect to be perfect but still pick myself apart.I love being able to shop in the regular stores. I love being able to walk and not get winded, i love being able when i show houses go up the stairs not being winded.I love that most people compliment me, was awkward at first but now i am proud.WHAT I HATE is the people when i catch them sneaking a peak at me to see if i have lost 100lbs in a week...LOL....or when i do eat something they all WATCH ME NOW...........omg i hardly eat anything yet and want to say would you like a bite of my teaspoon of food........I MEAN REALLY.well i think that is all for now.......leave me a comment if you would like

Well it's been a little while since I have felt sexy, smaller, and healthier.
But when I still look in the mirror I don't see all the good, I still see all the bad.Why is it that I do this???? I have done so well in such a short amount of time in my head it all makes sense but in my eyes it doesn't. I can't wait until i truly one day can look in a mirror and say to myself that i look GREAT.
Everyone around me is telling me I look great but the inner being of me doesn't see it? Biggest challenge for me is to feel beautiful inside and out.Maybe through out the years of hearing you have such a beautiful face to bad you wouldn't lose weight.......maybe the years of hearing that have something to do with it????? I have no idea......I just want to break free of this demon that has possessed my mind and get rid of it. Anyways, i just thought I would post this because this is what i really am feeling

Well this week I reached my first goal I am under the 200lbs mark!!!!!

It was a really good feeling and I was so proud.........i havent seen this in about 8 years......

Just thought I would share!
