Almost 5 months later......

Feb 16, 2009

First off, I feel like an idiot for not being out here any sooner

I am one week away from 5 months post-op and I have lost 109.4#!!!!  I am so excited, it has not been easy, especailly  through the holidays but I am determined not to be a failure!  I have followed my doctors food list to the letter.  I just recently discovered mustard on the list and I am so excited!  crazy isn't it?? The small things seem so big!

I never realized the small items of food that others take for granted that we cant have....for example, POPCORN, NUTS or SALAD.  I crave these three things like crazy but I DO NOT cheat!!  I dont even chew gum because my doctor suggested that I don't.  I think sometimes if I could have been this disciplined before surgery, I would've never got in the shape ( or out of shape) like I did!!  I still have not dumped because I am scared to death of it! The stories I have heard about it are awful!

Anyway, I love the Wiifit and do it 3-4 days a week.  I have to say that it has helped me sooo much and I would suggest anyone get this because you can do things at your own pace and it keeps good track of your weight loss and your BMI!!

I told myself that once my skin gets to where it is going to land...HA!.....I am going to get a tattoo.  I am thinking about getting the WLS ribbon with my surgery date on it..ummm..we'll see!

Three weeks ago I put on a pair of Levi's that I have not had on in about 6 years.  I put them on again this weekend and they were gappy on me.  I could still wear them but they were much more loose that they used to be!!  I have been this size before but at this point, I only have about 46 pounds to go until I am the sixe I was when I graduated high school! WHOO HOO!!

Good luck to everyone and to those of you of thinking of having the surgery...do it!!  I cant tell you how much it has changed my life so far!

I will try to get back on here as soon as I can.
