I am still at the exact same weight as 3 months ago. I am not going to stress about it.. I am learning that the more you stress the more problems you have, so whatever will be...will be and I will be good either way. I have thought about throwing the scales out but then I may really screw up and gain weight and I don't want to do that. So, here I am 9 months out from surgery and loss of 63 pounds. I wanted to reach the 100 lb mark by my 1 year surgiversary but I guess that is not going to happen. I will keep on doing what I am doing because I really can't do anything different and know that if this is it then this is where my body has decided it is supposed to be.

I tried... it did not work out at all. I just can't bring myself to drink the protein drinks. I have really started trying to watch what I am eating and am excercising too. Still no weitghtloss. I have just about decided this is where I will stop. This must be the weight I am supposed to be. I am not totally happy about that but it is a heck of alot better than the 240 that I started at. I will keep following the rules and maybe things will change. In the meantime life is good and I still feel great.

I am going to screammm!!!! I am so tired of not losing weight. I am going to go drastic now. I am going to STOP eating all carbs and go to protein shakes (yuck!). I am going to have a protein shake for breakfast and lunch and then for dinner eat a high protein meal. I want to lose the other 30 pounds and I am running out of time. I thought the days of slimfast were over but it looks like I am back to the old can. At least I don't have to shrink the old stomach now. It should be easier to handle it.
I WILL, I WILL!!

Looking back at my posts I get so discouraged. I have been at the same place for 3 months now. Up and down the same old 3 lbs. I really don't know what to do to get the weight dropping again. Even a pound or two would make me feel so much better. I am working hard, excercising and with the calories I take in I should be losing weight. Maybe by the next post I will have lost a couple of pounds. I am begining to believe it is all over. Wouldn't you know I would be the one to stop at 4 months out. bahhhhhhh!!!

I am getting a little depressed now!! I have been at the same place 2 and a half months. I am worried that this is it. I am excercising 4 times a week an hour each night, I have been monitoring my calories and drinking most of the water. Why am I still here? Will I ever see that scale move again?

I am still at a stall. I get so nervous when the scale stops moving. I know I should be losing weight because there is no way that I have taken in enough calories to gain weight.

I get that same old feeling, the one that creeps in on you and tells you that you are a failure. I know I am not a failure I have lost almost 60 pounds. I just see others who have had the surgery the same time as me and they have lost alot more than I have. I know, I know don't compare, that is easier said than done.

I am still very happy. Someone asked me the other day if I would like to lose more weight and I said about 40 more pounds would be great but if I don't I am not going to stress too much about it because I have done what I wanted to do..... get off the meds for diabetes and high blood pressure.

Well, my anniversary is this month and I hope to do something special with my special man. Life is good, I am not complaining, well maybe just a little.

Christmas is right around the corner...  new clothes..... yippie!!!

I guess it has been a little while since I have blogged but time seems to be flying by lately. I am down to a loose size 14 and loving every minute of it. The only thing that bothers me is I want to shop!!! I want to buy all kinds of clothes but I am almost afraid to because my size is changing so quickly. I have bought a few pieces to keep me from being naked but I am about to go crazy!!

I spend alot of time on the net looking and picking out clothes that I like, of course I never buy what I pick out becase money is tight and I don't know where I will end up. I call this therapy. My husband says it is totally fine as long as the credit card never comes out... hahahahah

I am really noticing a difference in my appearance now and so is EVERYONE else. There was someone the other day that didn't even recognize me. Talk about a real boost. I can see that look those people who haven't seen me in a while ...kinda like, is she ok, should I ask? Sometimes it is a little uncomfortable but I usually know what is happening and open the door for them to ask me. If I am asked I do usually tell folks that I have had surgery. I don't really care who knows. I don't feel like a failure because I had the surgery, believe me it is not the easy way out.

Oh, I totally got checked out yesterday morning. I didn't really know how to react because it has been so long since I have been stared at. It was kinda funny really, I caught him staring and then everytime I looked that way he would turn his head like he wasn't checking me out. It actually made me feel good about myself. I am wearing my makeup and fixing my hair and feeling good.

I haven't posted in a while. Time is really going by these days. I guess that is a good thing considering I have been in a stall the last couple of weeks. That sucks! Anyway, I am still very happy and I can see a difference in my  clothes every day so I am sure it will catch up.

I still haven't decided about a tattoo yet, I think I may wait and get one when I get to goal. That will give me plenty of time to find the perfect one. Nothing huge, just something small and cute.

I am still loving my RNY. I hope after the honeymoon I will be able to keep the weight off. I feel like my appetite is coming back a little now and that kinda scares me. One day at a time, that is what I need to remember ... to take it one day at a time.

I said I would have a party when I reached 190.... Well, I weighed this morning and the scale sang to me 189. It was a wonderful moment. I consider myslef officially in onederland now. I am loving it. I bought a size 14 jean for my daughter this weekend and when we got home I asked her if I could try the jeans on, oh my gosh they fit. I can wear a size 14 jean. Granted they were from Old Navy and I think they must be roomier than others but hey, I will take it. I went out and bought me a size 14. Yipppeee they fit great. Only problem is the jeans these days are mostly low rise and I cant get used to the pockets in the back going to the legs, I have always had back pockets on my butt. I will have to search and find some jeans that I like. I may just give these to my daughter. She did say would could share.

Anyway, party, party, party!!!!! I am soooo excited. Wonder where I will land with the weightloss. My mom says I have lost enough. I know I havent but they are not used to seeing me at this size, so they get a little worried. I am thinking 140 will be great.

My appetite is not that great the last few days. It seems to come and go, I think that is normal though. I hope so. I tried egg fu young today and realized chinese food is definately a no - no for me. I aint gonna do that no more. Oh, and I had my first dumping episode this past weekend. I had 3 cookies and some milk and I was sick for about an hour. I had to go lay down to let it pass. No, I will not do cookies and milk again either.

I am learning. Everyday I learn something new and move on to the next day. I don't feel like I am missing out on anything, I just hope I am getting the vitamins and minerals I need. I am taking a multivitamin twice a day and iron in the morning. I will ask the surgeon about b12 injections when I see him next week.

Now, what can I do to celebrate 50 lbs lost. I always said I would get a tattoo when I lost 50 lbs. I guess I better start looking for my design.

Happy days!!
