So..I think I should have lost more...at least my surgeon thinks so.  But I feel AWESOME!  90lbs never to be seen again.  Life is good!

It's been hectic...but this morning..I hit 50lbs GONE!  Life is really good!

The best part is that they will never COME BACK!  WHOOHOO!

OK..Aunt Flo sucks..but I'm down another 2 pounds.  I have my 6 week follow up..so I hope to hit 35 by Friday!

Ok...so I've lost 32 pounds..and now everyone at works knows what I have done.  Most people are happy for me.  I get the, 'Oh I'm so proud of you' like people are my parents.  Its crazy.  I'm happy though!

I did it.  I wanted to hit 30 lbs my Monday..and I did it.  Now, I'm starting on the treadmill..so the pounds will come flying off.  I want to order clothes..because mine are starting to fit really big around the shoulders.  But I'm going to wait another month..and see how I'm doing.

I'm pumped..I have all these jeans that I haven't worn in 5 years that almost close!  I love to wear jeans..and I can't wait to get into them.  Especially for FOOTBALL season.  Gig'em Aggies!

So, another pound....down 28 pounds now. I hope to hit 30 by this weekend.  We shall see.  

Ok....I'm loosing about a pound a day.  At this rate, in 6 months I'll be under 200 lbs.  Can't complain about that...especially since I haven't exercised but twice.  I'll be really honest..I don't feel like it.  I'm so tired..I'm ready for bed at 9:30.  I know that I'll be better soon!

Ok....so now I'm 17 days post op..and I've lost another 3 pounds for a grand total of 23.  I'm happy as a clam.  The one thing I can't manage to get over is my tiredness.  I am achy in my belly this morning..and I have taken tylenol for that.  I think I need to up my water..even though its hard to get it in.  I used to drink a ton of water before, but now my pouch makes me take small sips.  I can say this, I am not a fan of small sips.  Heehee..I'll survive.

I know I'm loosing a ton of inches since my pants are now fitting like pjs..which I love.  I can't wait to get into some of my jeans.  I am about 20 lbs away from that.  Then I'll try on my Texas A&M shirts that I have had for years!  I'm stoked about football season just for that alone.

People are noticing a difference too!  That makes everything even better!

So this is where it really begins.  I'm 16 days post op.  When I arrived in the hospital, I was down 2 pounds to 390 thanks to GoLytley.  That stuff is gross!  When I checked out, I had gained 3 pounds (not sure why since I didn't eat anything).  The only thing I can figure is that it was water weight.  Then, 9 days later, I did my post op visit with Dr. Ganta.  I was down to 373.  So, from the day I checked in, I lost 17 lbs.  Or, if you want to check it from the time I checked out of the hospital, I've lost 20 lbs.  I'm impressed.  My talking scale will be here today..so I'll check again this afternoon!

Dr. Ganta wants me to stay of full liquids for another 5 weeks.  He says that we have 6 months to get all the weight off, so we have to do what we can.  Here is the thing, he wants me to consume 800-900 calories a day.  How the heck to do I do that?  I'm having no luck doing that.  I have yogurt in the morning, a jello for lunch..and creamed souped in the evening..plus my protein shakes.  It's nuts.  I'm lucky to get 500 calories a day.  

This hasn't been a bad experience at all.  Especially with how fast I'm seeing results.  I do miss crunching on things.  Other than that, life is good!
