It just dawned on my last night that I am almost to goal! Someone pointed this out to me here recently and it did not really hit me. It just seems so unreal! I still want to lose about 5 lbs past goal. Wow, I just can't believe it!

Well yesterday was my 6 month surgiversary! I have lost 84 lbs! It is just so amazing! I had my 6 month checkup on Monday. Dr. Swartz was very pleased with my progress. So am I! I weighed 146 yesterday. You know I was so busy yesterday I did not realize it was the 9th. I will have to get dressed up this weekend and have my DH take some new pictures. I really am glad I had this surgery and I am glad that I chose the RNY.

I just can't believe it! I have lost 80 lbs! Before I had my surgery I had accepted the fact that I would never see 150 again. I am so glad that my husband changed his mind about the surgery. He is too. He has been so encouraging and so have all of you. I just want to thank all of you!

Well today is Valentines Day and I have lost 76 lbs! I has been just over 5 months since my surgery. I still can not tolerate a lot of foods. It's a good thing I like cottage cheese, refried beans, and turkey chili! LOL  For the first time I threw up in a public place last night.  Thank God the bathrooms were clean! I go to the doctor in a couple of weeks. I may need to work with the nutritionist for a while.

Today was a beautiful day. We spent some time with my son and his family this morning. Devan is walking a few steps at a time. She is so proud of herself and so are we. I took them a balloon and a little pail with chocolate kisses, a ribbon, and a small balloon and Ryan told me, it was beautiful! He loved the balloon. He told me, "Tank you".

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!

Wow I have lost 67 lbs. now!  I just can't believe it!  I am really proud of myself.  For more than just losing the weight.  Yesterday as some of you know I drove to the Bay Area to the Nor Cal luncheon.  I was pretty nervous about driving myself as I am not used to  the traffic.  I did great.  Now I know I can go any time they have one.  I even drove in the heavy rain on the freeway.  I am just a country girl at heart.  Fresno makes me nervous! 

One of my friends husbands gave me a nice compliment Friday night.  He asked if I was outside in the heavy wind.  I told him no and he said good you would have been blown away!  That was so sweet! 

I have started taking an B Complex from Bariatric Advantage with my other vitamins and I am feeling more energetic!  I was already taking B12 everyday. 

I am going to a Mardi Gras Party on Fat Tuesday.  It is with my group of Red Hat Ladies.  We are going to Manteca.  I bought a Queen Elizabeth costume and a wig.  It is so neat.  I am really looking forward to going.  I have had so much fun with these ladies.  I will post a picture in my costume.  I will also post a couple of new pictures that my husband took last night. 

I hope everyone is doing well!

I sat down and figured out how much protein and calories I have been consuming.  I was surprised.  I have been getting 70-90 grams of protein but my calorie intake has not even made it to 600 calories a day.  I have been drinking my protein shake and protein water but have not been eating much in the way of food.  No wonder my butt is dragging!  (Besides the weight I have lost! LOL)

I am going to try and eat more.  My surgeon told me to eat only when I am hungry but I am never really hungry and can't eat more than a couple of tablespoons at a time.  I am going to eat more often again, even if I am not hungry.  I need energy!  I had a protein bar and kept it down today.  It did not hurt my pouch either.  It was a luna bar, it was very good. 

Oh well that it for now.

My body gave me a Christmas present.  When I weighed on Christmas I was 170 lbs.  That is a total of 60 lbs lost.  I was sure excited!  We had a wonderful Christmas.  I love having my family together.  Mike's girlfriend even spent a good part of the day with us.  I made breakfast and we opened presents and then ate.  Well they ate, I had already had some cottage cheese earlier.  I made quiche and had Cinnamon rolls so I really did not want to try those and take the chance of throwing up and not being able to be with my family. 

The grandkids had so much fun opening their presents.  They open theirs from Santa at home before they come over and open ours.  Devan loved the bows and Ryan just had fun opening everything.  It is so nice to see Christmas through a child's eyes again.  I hope every one had a wonderful day.

I got all dressed up this morning and had my husband take some photos so I can post some new ones.  I have to say I really do not recognize the woman in these new photos.  As soon as we get them down loaded from the camera I will post them.

Well it is Christmas Eve.  I have lost 59 lbs!  I am really proud of myself.  I still have to be very careful what I eat.  If I cook pork chops, or chicken in the crock pot I seem to be able hold it down.  I have tried chicken at restaurants but it does not stay down, too dry. I eat refried beans, cottage cheese, and string cheese. I made some beef stew in the crock pot and could not handle the beef at all.  I know it will come and I am not discouraged.  I drink my protein drinks and shakes so I am getting enough protein in.  I have become really lack in my exercise again.  I am really going to have to get my head around the fact that I need to walk. 

I am really looking forward to the New Year, I know this year is going to contain many wonderful things.  I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This morning my husband was teasing me as I sat on the couch in my jammies, he said I can tell you have lost weight because they are hanging lower.  Of course he was talking about my boobies!  I have noticed the same thing too!  He assure me he would love me no matter where they ended up!  Just like I would still love him even if he lost every hair on his head!  Sometimes I don't know what I am going to do with that man!  LOL

Well today my Blood Pressure was 102/60.  I was not feeling well and asked my DH to take it.  He is a nurse.  I am going to go off it for a few days and see how I do.  I have already cut it in half.  I will ask Dr, Swartz about it on Monday.  I hope I can stay off of it!
