I am going to water aerobics this morning and I have a new swimsuit.  I bought it for my aunt but she is too scared of the water and wouldn't go to water aerobics, after one time, and she gave me her suit and tried it on this morning and it fits.  That is I am down four sizes since my surgery and boy I am HAPPY.  The suit looks good on me, too...hehehe

Also, weighed this morning and down 2 more pounds.  God is good and so is life.

I went into my closet today and I pulled out a short set that my deceased husband bought me in 2004 for my birthday and it fit with room to spare.  I then took out some other clothes that I haven't been able to wear in a long time and they fit, so I got a "new clothes" and I am packing up the old ones.  I am very proud of myself.

Went to my Primary Care Doctor today, for checkup on my diabetes and I had lost 38 pounds and he told me that I was doing extremely good and that I was his only patient that has had weight loss surgery and that we would be learning together on how this procedure works and that he was grateful that I would allow him to be a part of this. (Made me feel good)  I haven't weight this amount since 1993 (I got my first knee replacement) and from 1993 all I did was gain weight and now, I am a loser....

Well, gone to water aerobics today and I am walking more laps (before aerobics) and I have started to walk against the flow of the water.  It makes me tired but after a little rest, I have more energy than ever.  I have been doing 10 laps with the flow of water and 5 laps against the flow but today, I did 10 laps with the flow of the water and 10 laps against the flow of the water.  I will be trying more laps next week.  After the laps, it is time for water aerobics and there is another workout.  It is helping me with my exercise program, (I am out there doing something)  I have noticed a lot of inches leaving my body and that is a good thing...

Went to doctor today and I have lost 36 pounds.  I am doing good and I feel so much better.  Can't believe it.  What a way to start a new birthday off.  They added 2ccs to my band.  Dr. Roye is leaving this area and will be in Amarillo in three weeks.  Dr. Graham will be seeing me in August.

Just wanted to update about my insulin, I am off insulin altogether, back on oral meds during great. With more weight loss maybe I can get rid of them also. I missed water aerobics today.  I over slept and that has put my day in a pickle.  I love going and I just hate to miss.  Couldn't go Thursday this week, too much lightning and rain. They won't let you in the pool when lightning...Oh well, don't know what I will do today but I will get out and about...

On May 28, 2008, I had my first fill and it was 4cc and I will have another one June 25, 2008.  I am not losing weight fast but I am losing inches, most of the clothes I had two years ago, I can wear and that makes me very happy.

Will be glad when June 10th gets here.  The pool has been closed for a week for training new people and cleaning of the pool for the summer.  I am getting a little stiff from not working out in the water.  I am still doing good, I have lost another two pounds.  Ready for the summer with new things going on.

I went to the doctor May 28, 2008 and I have lost 27.4 pounds.  I had my first fill and it went really well.  Found out my doctor is moving to Amarillo but will continue to come to Waxahachie, once a month to do fills.  He is such a great doctor and no matter where he goes he is an asset and people will be glad to have such a great doctor among them.  I wish him well in all of his endeavors.
When I started the Weight Loss Program I weighed more than what I did when  I changed doctors and so I do count that weight loss.

I am feeling really good.  I have more energy than I have had in years and enjoying the fellowship of Water Aerobics. 

I am exercising more and more and feeling really good.  Lost 27 pounds and getting into clothes that I haven't worn in 2 years.  It is inches that I am losing.  I have my first fill 5-28-08, getting really nervous about that, because I don't know what to expect, but I trust Dr. Roye and he will walk me thru it.
I took my Aunt (she is 78) to water aerobics and she is terrified of water but we managed to do water aerobics after she took the death grip off of me.  We both did really well.  I will take her one day a week and the rest I will go.
I have so much new energy, I am real happy about the decision of the Lap 
Band.
