another update

Mar 01, 2012

so my little man (Caleb Mather) came into this world on 1/20/12 at 10:54 pm weighting 6lbs 8.9 oz and was 18 inches long and just as healthy as can be. Hes now 6 weeks old and doing great. my weight has been great also. i only gained 30 pound with him and lost 10 when he was born. this morning was 193 and i was 186 before i was pregnant. so im getting back in the swing of things and getting my weight back under control. summer is coming and i will be walking to alot of little places that i can and really get the weight done.

just a little update

Aug 15, 2011

so, lets see where to start. My weight is still going good, was down to 182. was 6 pounds from the goal. had a dr appt on June 18th and got the shock of my life when the DR said "YOUR PREGNANT".   Im 14 weeks today and so far everythings going good. maintaining my weight at 185, today was 186. so i feel im still doing good. not so happy about the little weight gain, but being pregnant is going to do that.  Yes this is my first pregnancy. im very happy. hubby is happy but not showing it yet. so 6 weeks to go to find out what im having. CANT WAIT.

New Me!

Dec 20, 2010

So, I see that i have not done an update in a while. So here goes.  Doing really good, eating solids now and feeling a little better about it. Im down to 238 thats 80 pounds that ive lost. That really makes me feel good. Im seeing things that ive never done that im doing now and loving it. crossing my legs is the biggest thing that ive come to love, Sometimes I do it and dont even notice that ive done it. I take my vitimans and b12 and some other things that everone else takes and then im also on potassium from the Dr, cause my was a little lower than he wanted to see. but thats it. So far, so good. Loving the New me!

update

Nov 01, 2010

So, now that Halloween is over im feeling a little better. took the kids out last night and everyone around me was eating candy cept the kids. I was eating Ice. GO ME! I turned down down all the yummy candy. I stepped on the scales at the house on Saturday night and got the shock of my life, It said 266. I was 274 on Wednesday at the dr office. That made me feel good. started back to work on Monday the 25th. had the halloween party and all kinds of yummy treats from the parents and turned them all down. In my eyes im doing great. starting to try some new foods. had som soft cheese lastnight and that tasted like a dream. More to come. Shannon

post op

Oct 07, 2010

Had my 1 week post op yesterday with Dr Rahman. Everything is healing nicely and looks good. Told me that i can start walking a little faster next week. and in a couple weeks i can start running. Been a long time since i ran. I cant wait to start that. went from 306 Friday 10-1-10, to 287 on 10-6-10, that's good i think. really starting to feel better and better about this surgery. was still having second thoughts up until the surgery. Bet they are gone and I'm feeling good.  been drinking my milk, water and Apple juice and broth and holding everything down with no problems.  went to the store last night and wanted to get a different flavor juice, so went with White Grape juice cause I'm still on the clear diet. going to try that today and see how that feels.  cant wait to get my jeans back on again. Later Shannon

SO, been home a few days now and walking the parking lot of the school across the street from me. Doing good i think. walking a little better, moving a little better. things are healing nicely, was even able to get some of the scars off in the shower with just water, so thats a good sign. better days are coming.
