Ok yes I know its been 2 weeks, well I am back to work and its been great, so far I mean its only been 2 weeks people.
I am now down 67 lbs and wearing a 18-20 pants and a 18-20 22-24 shirts or a XL. My boobs are staying but I have dropped in sizes from a 44DD to a 38 DD or a 40 DD depending on the cut. I feel awesome.
Walking 6 miles a day now just got to 6 about 2weeks ago so its going great. As for the body contouring that I am also doing that is FABULOUS. The cellulite is disappearing and my skin is toning up, plus all the working out I am doing is helpful.
I CAN'T TELL YOU ENOUGH EAT THE PROTIEN AND DRINK THE SHAKES GET IT IN. IT WILL BENEFIT YOU IN THE LONG RUN.
Got a new hair cut and pics will come soon,
Talk soon,

Ok well today is nov 5th and I am feeling great, I go back to work on monday the 12th looking forward to it, but Not really. I miss everyone, but I enjoy being home and taking care of myself. Oh well such as life.
Now for the protein shakes omfg I am getting sick, they are the worst all of a sudden they taste like shit. I was ok with them before but now YUCK. I have moved on to a liquid vitamin which is good, (gnc brand Liq Multi Plus $26.99) and Calcium Citrate (gnc brand Calcium Citrate plus its has the Vit D you need $11.99). not to bad going down either but I still break them up.
All foods going down easy nothing coming back up or out lol. just still constipated at times but hey a lil prune juice does the trick. Ok Im off to get my nephew tattooed and then for a 3 mile walk I have been doing that much everyday for the last 3 weeks. I am going to try to increase it to 4 today. Will see how much stamina I have at that point.

10-31-07 Happy Halloween
Oct 31, 2007
Ok well today is Halloween and I have my 1 month post op appt. I can't wait. I get to see my friend Cary who had it three yrs ago and I haven't seen him in a while. And I dressed up as a Pirate Wench pics to follow soon.
Ok so I am now down 56lbs and I feel good. Dr. Meilahn is very pleased with my progress. He said he wants to bottle me up and give me to other patients, because I am doing so well and I have followed everything to a "T". I have had not issues other than the being constipated and that is now fine. So I go again to see him in January. I feel great and have just gone to see about this new treatment called "Synergie" like liposuction but its not, to rid of all the toxins in your body. Its body Sculpting through massage. I'll keep you posted I am doing it now and throughout my journey. Though it is not cheap its worth it to me to help my progress. Ask I'll let you know all about it ..

Oct 26, 2007
I am at 5 weeks and one day as of today and down 50 lbs exactly. I go see the man on Halloween hopefully I will drop another 10, ok. Things are great everything is going well, nothing bad to report, I stick to the diet and not try anything Im not supose to be eating and Im good. See I am a chicken shit and don't want to get sick and I didn't come this far to try something cause I miss it, and actually I don't miss anything but my salads and I know in time I can have that.
I read so much that people are having the dumping syndrome and Shit why would you do that to yourself, unless you like to throw up and have pain, more power to ya. NOT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously you come so far and go through the surgery the pain afterwards for what to try something that got you to be "FAT" I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!! Stick to what you are supose to eat and be healthy that other shit will kill ya.
Well thats enough for my rant today talk soon

Oct 17 One month post op
Oct 17, 2007
Well I know I haven't posted in a while but I have been pretty busy. I am now one month post op and down 45lbs
. I feel good, things are getting easier and no pain what so ever.
Only problem I have been having in the last 2 weeks as been CONSTIPATION. Omg its horrible when you can't poop, but what is working for me is 4oz of prune juice either in the morning or before bed and then I don't feel bloated or uncomfortable.
I am walking now about 3 miles a day (1 1/2 in the morning and 1 1/2 at night) and plenty of areobics. I have my one month appointment on OCT 31st. I'll up date on that soon.

Sept 24th 7 days post op
Sep 24, 2007
Damn Im good, I feel good I can move and shower alone and do my normal routine with out any help at all, pain is at a 1 although the gas pains are back and now I can't poop. Cream soups and protien shakes oh god are making me gassy again. But I still feel good. See I never ate cream soups I was never a prepared food person, so this is a little diffucult for me. I am learning to make the low-fat cream soup on my own and not the can stuff.Protein is easy to get in I don't mind the shakes as I have drank them before as a meal replacement for a long time. Walking a little more than before and feeling good. ok good night.

I feel good da na na na na nant(sing it lol). Pain is less and less. My mom and I have gone walking 3 times, not far but up and down the block I don't want to be to far from home in case my pain gets bad. I use ice packs to help elivate the pain it WORKS. On a scale of 1-10 on pain I am at a 2 and still not taking any pain meds. Since I had it Laporscopicly I have 7 little incisions and all the tape has fallen off and my incisions are looking wonderful. Im feeling good and I can see lbs gone, woo hoo.

Sept 22nd 6 days post op
Sep 22, 2007
Ok so the smilee face says it all I have been in the bathroom all day today and I feel better. All the gas pains gone, AHHHHH. I can move a little more than I could in the last 5 days. Every day gets better. I started my full liquids today. I had a yogurt for breakfast with unflavored protien powder, mmm food tastes yummy to have something a little thicker than just juice,broth,tea etc. I went for 3 walks today up and down the street with my ice pack on my incision it just helps the pulling on the muscle and I can walk a little more. well a good day and Im headed to bed and I have not taken a pain pill since friday night. yay me.
