100 lbs Gone

Oct 30, 2008

Hi everyone
I was just letting you know that I've reached my 100 lb weight lost!!  My weight is still fluctuating back and forth and it took a while to truly hit that point but I've made it. I have 77 lbs to go to reach my own personal goal. My Dr wants me to lose 50 lbs by Jan. My weight lost has slowed down soooo much and its getting harder to stay on track. I'm in a size 20 jeans and a 1x shirt or 16/18 depending on the style and cut of the shirt. I have a lot to do and really need to do more exercise. Some weeks I do well and then some weeks I dont. I have to stay in the fight. Anyways just a quick update I know its been a while. I had to get my gallbladder removed in July and they found a hernia in there during surgery so they did a repair during the surgery.  Anyways I'm doing well. Take care. I will post new pics soon.
Peace and Blessings
Love
Candice

5 MONTHS POST OP

Jun 17, 2008

Hey guys
Just giving an update. Well as 6/18/08 I am
around between 80-82 lbs weight loss. I weigh between 255 or 257.  I am getting discouraged thininking its not coming off as fast as I would like it to. The scale keeps going back & forth & I'm getting so discouraged thinking what if this is all that I lose? I saw somewhere on here lost 100 lbs in 5 months. There's no way I'd hit that. I am doing a little better getting the protein in and began exercising more. I get up aat 5 AM and work out 30min cardio DVD. Once I began kickingup the exercise thats when I really did see the weight loss. I didnt lose my normal 10 lbs this past month.  Now my chewable calcium citrate are making me throw up so I havent taken many in over 2 months. I know for sure I am not drinking enough water and I'm working on that.  I can wear all my old clothes but they are really baggy. I can wear and 18-20 top depending on the style all the way up to my original size 26-28 (but its super loose). Pants I am definately at a 24 heading to a 22. Well this is just a little update for now. I am eating more than when I was on liquids and I wonder is this normal? Also if anyone knows how much should a person 5 months out should eat? I do cheat occassionally and know that everyday wont be a perfect day. I  usualy just eat until I begin to feel a tightnes which my nutrtion said that was a good sign. Sometimes I think I overeat but never throw it back up. I can eat a subway 6in but only half of it with about 7 baked chips. Let me know what you guys think. Any advise welcomed. 
Take care
Peace and Blessings

Hey guys
Just giving an update. Well as 5/3/08 I am
around between 73-74 lbs weight loss. I weigh between 263 or 264.  I am getting discouraged thininking its not coming off as fast as I would like it to. I saw somewhere on here lost 100 lbs in 5 months. There's no way I'm going to hit that. I am doing a little better getting the protein in but havent went to excerise in the gym this month (I dont think). I did buy some free weights and arm and ankle weights and occassionally walk in the park. I do have more energy. Now my chewable calcium citrate are making me throw up so I havent taken many in over month. I know for sure I am not drinking enough water and I'm working on that.  I can wear all my old clothes but they are baggy. I can wear and 18-20 top depending on the style all the way up to my original size 26-28 (but its super loose). Pants I am definately at a 24 heading to a 22. Well this is just a little update for now. I am eating more than when I was on liquids and I wonder is this normal? Also if anyone knows how much should a person 4 months out should eat? I usualy just eat until I begin to feel a tightnes which my nutrtion said that was a good sign. I think I'm doing a 1/4th cup for each item. I will add pics soon. Wonder will people be able to see a difference? 
Take care

3 MONTHS POST-OP

Hey guys
Just giving an update. Well as of today I am now down around between 63-64 lbs weight loss. I weigh between 273 or 274.  I am getting discouraged thininking its not coming off as fast as I would like it to. I am doing a little better getting the protein in but havent went to excerise in the gym this month (I dont think). I started becoming more active around my house trying to do a continuous activity for 20min or more. I also dance around the house before bed for about 20min or more and that seems to help. I know for sure I am not drinking enough water and I'm working on that. My clothing sizes are really weird. I can wear all my old clothes but they are baggy. I can wear and 18-20 top depending on the style all the way up to my original size 26-28 (but its super loose). Pants I think I am averaging between and 24-26 depends on the pants, cut, and style. Well this is just a little update for now. I am eating more than when I was on liquids and I wonder is this normal. Also if anyone knows how much should a person 3 months out should eat. I think I'm doing a 1/4th cup for each item. I will add pics soon. Wonder will people be able to see a difference?

2 Months Post-Op

Mar 03, 2008

Hey 
This is just another quick update . I'm officially 2 months out and am down 50 lbs. I feel pretty good. Still struggling to get all my protein, water in, and getting on a better exercise routine. I'm down to a size 22/24 top (thats kinda loose) and 26 pants. I tried on this really loose dress & it was 20/22. I was like OMG!! R u serious!!  It really depends on the cut and style. My mom bought me a pair of heels that I tried on that didnt hurt my feet. So so far so good. I would like to try to loose another 10-15 lbs before my birthday March 24th.  We will see.
Take care

6 week Post-Op Appointment

Feb 20, 2008

Hey guys just giving an update...
Had my 6 week post-op on Friday 2/15/08 and my doctor and his assistant were very pleased in my wt loss so far. They ran some blood work on me so we are awaiting the results on that. I was kinda down and discouraged when I went in but they told me to keep up the good. work. I have lost 43 lbs (according to my scale) and 40 lbs according to theirs. I'm still trying to get this water & protein in. I know if I continue to pray & keep God 1st I will get to my goal. People say they can tell a difference. I cant. I still fit the same clothes but they are a lot looser. I guess I want it to come off so fast but I didnt put it on fast. I need to work on my patience. Anyways just a quick update.
Take care
Candice :)
