I weighed 270 this morning. So I am down 44 since my RNY and 51 lost since my highest weight, in August of 2007..

I got depressed yesterday because, all of a sudden, I wanted to lose a bunch of weight right now! I was in a mood that caused me to feel that I wasn't losing fast enough. But I don't feel quite as bad as I did about my weight loss. My friend, Felicia S. Made me feel better about things. She said very encouraging things. That really helped me to feel better.  Thank you so much Felicia!!

I got very sick today. I had a meat and bread 1/2 sandwich. It was a major mistake. I've gotten sick many times on 1/4-1/2 sandwiches. I need to learn, once and for all, that this is not a good food choice for me. The type of meat and bread can change. But getting sick stays the same. Not good. So, I will try to learn that sandwiches don't fit into my new life. The taste and texture, going down, is not worth the horrible results of it coming back up. Yuck!!!

I have been doing good with my diet and weight lately. I am down to 271. That is a loss of 43 pounds since my RNY on 9-4-07.

I have had my ups and downs with my weight.  Very often I stay the same weight for a lot of days in a row, then finally have a loss. Then sometimes my weight goes up after a loss. But eventually it comes back down again.

I try not to panic or judge myself about my weight or diet. Eventually my weight goes down more than it goes up.

I can be full after eating just 3 bites of food.  I don't worry greatly about my diet. I eat a variety of foods. I have a few favorites, but I still try different foods off and on, so that I get a variety of foods in my diet.

I've said good bye to my size 28's, once and for all. I gave them to a friend. Now size 24's fit comfortably and some are loose. I can wear some 22's.  I'm happy with my weight loss and all of the good things that go with that.

As of this morning I am 275. That is 39 pounds lost since my RNY.  A loss of 39 pounds in less than 2 months!  That's pretty amazing!

I am continuing to have problems with nausea.   But it's not as bad as it was a week ago.

This morning I was 277. That's a loss of 37 pounds since my RNY on 9-4-07.  I've lost 44 pounds since August of 2007.

I have thrown up a lot this week. I had some things that didn't agree with my new stomach, but also consummed a little too much food a few times. Simple things like eggs (cooked any way) have come back up. Tuna, hamburger, deli turkey, avocodo, and a few other things, have also made me sick.

I am hoping that I can eventually tolerate those foods.

I am at 279 now. I've lost 35 pounds so far. It's been around 5 1/2 weeks since my surgery.

I do have some problems with some pain and nausea but am mostly okay.

 Living with my new, smaller RNY stomach isn't easy, but it certainly is helpful. I am losing weight quickly.  That's a major blessing.

The week before my RNY I was 321.   I got my RNY on 9-4-07.  I weighed 314 on that date.  Now I'm 286.

Things have been difficult. I've had a lot of pain and nausea. But, I've lost 28 pounds in 3 weeks. So, that is really an awesome blessing!
