I am currenlty down 121 pounds!  Loving life and enjoying it to the fullest.  I have not one complaint.  God is soooooooooooooo good and this is the best thing I could have EVER done for myself.  My birthday was a joy.  Check out my photo's from my b-day and 6 month anniversary, nothing big- just me looking as happy as I can without passing out...lol

Love you all,

YATA

I have been so blessed!  I am down 92 pounds and feeling great!  I do have trouble with remembering to eat sometimes( have to be really busy), but other than that...life is good.  The heat is so much easier to bear when you are smaller.  I have some new pictures on here too.  I hope you all are well.

This is the 74th day since I underwent surgery and I have lost 74 pounds!  I am so excited and I just can't hide it!  LOL

I got on the scale this morning because I couldn't resist and I have lost 5 pounds!  I guess I just had to wait for that plateau to pass...I am also kicking up my pilates regimen as well starting tomorrow morning, so that should help.  Need to make sure I am drinking as much water as possible, even with as much as I LOVE water it is very hard to do that and eat enough protein...any suggestions?

Is this normal?  I have had some changes occur...I came back to work, where I basically sit and type all day...and I have noted a slight appetite increase so I guess those things attribute to a slow down...and to be completely honest I didn't want to lose it too fast anyway...I am currently at 66 pounds lost and have been here for the last week and a half...that's really not enough time to stress over...I guess I just wanted to see if I could get some encouragement from someone who has experienced something similar.   Other than that, I am doing fine!  My hips made a re-appearance and I am starting to see major definition of my old curvy (not lumpy) body emerge from the darkness...lol!  I have been eating alot of tuna salad and chicken salad...which I am making at home...I also enjoy breakfast foods...my only unhealthy vices at this time are puffed cheeto's (LOVE THEM!) and small tiny quantities of ice cream...oh and I found this new Minute Maid juice and tea that I have been sucking down...Pomegranate Blueberry juice and Pomegranate lemonade!  Delicious!  I have also been running through Vlasic Kosher Dill Pickles...they have no fat ( I know I have to watch the sodium) and are so refreshing and crisp and good...so that's what I have been up to as far as my diet is concerned...and yes I am using light miracle whip and what not in my tuna/chicken salads...HAVE A GREAT DAY!

It has been 7 weeks since surgery and I am feeling pretty good!  I have lost 61 pounds and I am down from a size 24 to an 18!!!!!  Whoooooohooooo!  I'm bringing sexy back!  LOL!  No, but seriously---I am getting alot more male attention and have been LOVING that...I got attention before, but this is a little overwhelming sometimes, but I am NOT complaining...just enjoying the compliments and looks from new strangers...hahaha!  I can eat pretty much anything except gravy...learned that when I cooked a turkey on Easter...hahaha---hope everyone is doing well...

First of all I am feeling great! I have been walking since the night of my surgey and I think that has been my saving grace...I walk for long stretches everyday and feel better and better each time...Nothing was even close to being nearly as bad as I expected...mostly alot of uncomfortable moments that I can't really complain about because they were NOT as bad as I expected.  I lost 10 pounds on my two week liver shrinking diet and 16 since the day before my surgery....so 26 pounds so far!   I think that is all owed to the amount of steady paced walking I do...not complaining at all...I currently am staying with relatives and do not have access to a computer so I thought I would come up to the local library where I am and log on and update you all....thanks for all the love, support, and prayers...!  I will be back on soon!

P.S.  I have not thrown up or gotten sick once.

Thanks for all the support and encouragement.  I probably won't be able to post or check online until after I am post- op.  I can't wait to update everyone on my experience...

Until then,

Have a great day!

Not nervous at all!  I am actually excited and looking forward to gaining control of my life and using this tool to the fullest of my capabilities.

Is there anyone else out there feeling this way?

By now I expected to be pulling all my hair out with my teeth chattering while I growled at anyone who came to close...and so far none of the above...I am relaxed, cool, comfortable, more than positive about this decision and ready to move forward.

I am hoping the jitters don't hit me all at once and cause me to have an out of body experience because for me to be this calm this close is crazy!  

This diet isn't too bad...and i am loving vegetable broth...pretty sure I won't after a few more months...lol, but for now it is doing me just fine as my favorite sippable treat.  Jello is iffy for me because I was never fond of congealed food products, but if it's your thang...do what you want to do...lmao

I have lost enough weight in 6 days to fit into my Weight Watchers jeans I bought from OLD NAVY last year this time when I went down a size...so needless to say I have been feeling myself even more than normal today, when I told my supervisor about the jeans and proceeded to twirl around she closed her door in my face...but we are cool like that...she knows I already think I am cute and that it doesn't take much to make me go even further....hahahahaha

If anyone would like to share any knowledge about things I should be thinking about or doing right now while I am in waiting, please do tell!
