been a while!
Aug 06, 2007
WEll, it's been a while and it seems the weight loss is slowing down alot!! I am still very ok with all I have gone thru and my progress. I figure, 75 pds in 4 mths, that's 18.753's per month average!! Can't complain about that. I am feeling good and love the fact I have been having to buy new clothes. My favorite thing to do!!!! My skin is looking gr8 and I really believe it relates to the fact I do not eat all the junk anymore!! I am so blessed as my family has supported me so much. When I get down, they are there to pick me up! What a lucky person am I?!! I can say the only complaint I really have is the fact that my stomach is going down so slow!! Oh well, less skin later I guess!!!
My 1st big goal hit!!
Jul 18, 2007
Well, as of this morning I hit my first big goal of 70#. You see, I weighed 270, so I thought, set little goals along the way, but set a big one. I did it!! I set it for 70#'s and I am down 70.2!!! I feel gr8! I will now start setting several small goals so I won't get discouraged. I know the 55# left will not come off as fast and easy as the other!! I will stay motivated!! I am so blessed to have the encouragement and support of my family!! They are so proud of me! Well, it is my B-day on Sunday and me and my hubby are going to double celebrate in Houston this weekend!! I had said from the beginning I wanted the 70#'s off by my B-day!! Well, I did it 3 days early!!! I am truly blessed, God keeps me close!!! He has been my strength from the beginning!!
Plateau!!
May 29, 2007
Well, I have hit my first plateau!! I am ok with it because I know I am doing most of the right things!! I did have to start on water pills and over the weekend I worked a huge band fest and was on my feet all day and eve. I was so far from a bathroom that I chose to not take the pills, and I ate a huge pickle, well, there went the ankles!! Swollen beyond recognition!! I started taking them again today, and boy am I feeling the effects!!! I won't do that again!! I am also on B12 shots weekly and they sure make me feel gr8!! We are going to the Astros-Cardinals game in Houston this weekend and I am so excited because I know I will fit comfortably in the stadium seats!! It is the small things in life we must worry about when we are overweight. I actually am looking forward to wearing my jersey again as it has not fit in 4 years!! My husband John will proudly be wearing his Card. jersey, so I will be in my Astros!! Our daughter will be wearing a Cardinal jersey and an Astros Cap!! What can I say, she is a total daddy's girl!! Go STROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Done! Your Ticker:
What a weekend!
Apr 23, 2007
Well, I did it! I thought I could beat the odds and I ate some Cheese-Its Saturday eve and got sick as I could be. I only ate like maybe 10 little cheese wedge thingy's, but that was enough!! I became so weak I couldn't stand up, my heart was racing, and I felt like someone was stabbing me in the stomach. I won't do that again. I did make a very tender roast with carrots yesterday and was able to eat some of that for lunch!! Afterwards, we went out to Sea World for about 31/2 hours and we walked alot!! I actually felt gr8 and had no problems, I even rode on the Steel eel roller coaster and had no problems!! Life is getting easier!!
Life is Good!
Apr 18, 2007
Well, the days are getting better!! I went to my first PFS class and I truly enjoyed it! It was nice to sit with others and find out they are going thru the same things I am! My energy level is coming up and I am working on my walking and water drinking. I am truly blessed in every way, and I can't believe I have been given this second chance in life!
Finally!!
Apr 17, 2007
Well, today is April 17th, and I am finally back at work. I had my surgery 4-4 and came home 4-6. I went back on 4-7 due to internal bleeding. I ended up needing 8 bags of fluids and 2 units of blood. But as of now, I am doing gr8 physically. Mentally I am had been having a rough time. I went for my 2 wk post op visit yesterday and it went well. My dr. told me I need to eat at least 1 meal a day now. I have not been physically hungry yet. Mentally, I am starving to death!! I did eat some egg salad last night and it was sooooo good!! I have a gr8 support team and feel that is the most important thing to have when you make a decision to go through this procedure. God has truly blessed me. I am down 22 pounds and I am feeling gr8!!!!
getting closer!!!
Mar 30, 2007
Well, it's getting closer to my surgery date and I am really not feeling the nervousness kick in yet. I'm sure it will the closer I get. I lost 2 more #'s so now I am down pr-op 11 #'s. I hope I can loose at least 2-3 more before Wed., but am happy with what I have accomplished. My husband has been my solid rock. He loves me so much and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life. My parents are getting really excited and have had lots of questions for me. My little girl is just excited I will finally be able to slide down the spiral slide with her at the park!! Ahhhh- the innocents of a child!!!
1 week to go!!
Mar 28, 2007
Well, today marks 1 week until my surgery. I am a little nervous, but more anxious than anything. I had all my labs done on Monday, so now I just wait!! I went and bought new jammies, socks, and person hygiene stuff for the hospital stay!! Guess I am just trying to be organized!! I'll keep you posted!!
