New Year and continuing on to a new and improved me.

Jan 02, 2015

This year will be different than all the other years. I will be transforming my life. I feel like this year is going to bring me so much change and possibilities. I went back to college last year to finish up and get my bachelor's degree in graphic design. I will be graduating this May. I will be looking to go back to work and start earning more money. I will be undergoing physical change. My body shrinking and my health improving.  NONE of these things will come easily. I will be working hard for all of it but I am excited at what the payoff will be.  

So far, I have lost 42 lbs in 7 weeks (since preop liquid). I was pretty worried cause I gained a few lbs back while still following the rules. I think it was a stall though. Now, I seemed to have dropped those extra lbs plus more almost overnight! Thats such a HUGE relief. I thought maybe, like the band, I would just be unsuccessful but... I got my hope back! I am ready to move forward. I have been eating all of my protein. NO MORE SHAKES! Been staying at or below 1,000 calories. Learning what I can eat and what I can't. Overall doing well. It is nice not to feel "stuck" anymore and not throwing up either. It's nice to feel like I'm done eating after a very small meal, and not wanting to eat more and more and more. I am also off most of my medicines already. That was one of my main motivators in the first place. Soooo far-So good!  I am looking forward to my future.
