103 lbs lost. . . . so far so good.   Still working out ~6 hours a week - treadmill, elliptical, floor exercises, 10 lb weights.  I do have plateaus which seem long, but it's manageable so far.  Still ecstatic I went through with this.

3 days from 5 months surgiversary and have lost 81 lbs with 81 lbs more to go.  Half way there per the target set.  I'm still hopeful even though i'm plateauing currently.  I'll just stay on my path of working out for 1.15 hours 4 x a week and trying to live as healthy, yet as normally as I can.   Hopefully another 5-7 months the target will be met. 

Appears i'm ready to start phase 4 . . .. pseudo nervous, but hopeful.  So far so good!
 

Just got home from a 4 day meeting in Charlotte.  Went well, great workouts in their wonderful gym, and was able to eat properly without too much effort.  Seafood it seems is my nutrition of choice. . . 44 lbs as of this morning.  Not too shabby after almost 6 weeks. . . Still happy I took this step.
 

Had my month follow up today and doing well.  Had the G Tube removed which is phenomenal.   Since i'm on mush I made some salmon for my dinner and either I ate too fast or not sure why, but i tossed my cookies.  This is the first time since surgery - and i've had salmon before.  Oh well. . . . hopefully this is the first AND last.

32 days since surgery and 39 lbs down.  G Tube comes out on Wednesday and things will hopefully continue to go as well or even better.  Looking back, I should have done this a long LONG time ago!   Who knew?!

All is going very well. . . walking 1.5 miles per day, eating great, no nausea or sickness.  I'm even becoming one with my G-Tube.  It no longer hurts so that's a good thing.  I'm sleeping great again - life is good.  30 pounds so far! 

Learning to 'create' new liquid 'treats' to get me through this 30 day period. . . . so far so good.

4 full days post surgery and i'm feeling human again.  No pain meds since yestday AM before shower, and 'handling' the G-Tube okay now.  Went to grocery store with my hubby earlier today and had to sit down - was a bit too much post surgery; thought I was going to pass out - cold sweat and 'white' feeling. 

Other then that all is going well. . . . diet is fine.  Really enjoyed my apple sauce lunch today.  That was a real treat!  Sad when i think back as to what I used to eat! 

Oh well. . . i look forward to removal of the G-Tube. . . . that's the bad part of this. 

Little over a week to go before surgery and i'm so excited i can't stand it. I should be nervous, but haven't had a twitch yet. I've been on the pre op liquid (2 meals) diet for 3 weeks now and am sooooo ready!
