Today i went walkin, i feel great. I love the way it feels to not get so tired. I use to walk like 20 steps and i was winded. But i've been walkin the whole street 2 times. It is cold but i get warmed up in about 2 min lol. I had the best supper last night...i had pork ribs,baked beans and scalloped potatoes. Just let me say that this is one of the best meals i have had in 2 months. I only got to eat about 1oz of meat and 1oz of beans......and 2 babyspoon bites of poatatoes...I have not weighed myself lately,i go thrus. I have notice my pants are big on my butt. And my panties are saggin,i did ask for that for christmas. For some reason im so sore all over.
Doc said its where i was carring all that weight and now im losing it...He says it will get better. Plus im workin out to. I will be busy for the next couple of days.....i have to make some goodies for christmas.

Well I have been out shopping this week,Christmas is almost here. I still have more shopping to do..I'm done with my daughter,she is always first. I have had a busy weekend. Well Sat.,Samantha had cheerleading practice,then we went to a church dinner at the church,they has fried chicken,mashed potatoes with gravy,green beans,mac and cheese,and cookies. I ate some potatoes,and chicken with out the breading. The church gave us all gifts, steven got a pen, i got a jar filled with beans, it says to use this to make 3 bean chili........the lord knows i love chili, Samantha got a play set. I have been crabby this week you no who is here....i hate this time of month. I seem to have more cramps now. All i can take is tylenol. Let me just say that , that does not help. I have been gettin all my baking supplies ready to make candy for my family. Even if i can't have any i still love makin it.....well i will update later.........i will take new pics thrus........i'll be 2 months out!!!

Time is flying by now. I can't wait. Hubby will be off for a week...and my daughter 2 weeks.... i will be crazy. I have a schedule and they just make me lose it....lol..I had the best chili last night. I am still exercising, I walked about a mile today. I'm not gonna weigh my self till the 24th of Dec. I will be 2 months out by then. But i could care less what i weigh. I no that i will have days when i lose and gain. All of my pants are big on me. i was wearing 22/24 pants tops 2 x. Now i can wear xlg and 18 in my pants. I will be taken my 2 mo pics next week. Everybody says........you look good.........i still feel like a cow! I just can't seem to think of me losing weight.......ive always been fat,since i was a teen. But this is the best i have felt in years. Plus i can walk without my legs and feet hurtin. But you no what how else could i lose almost 35 lbs in almost 2 months. I am using my new tool..i watch what i eat all the time.......i drink 64oz of water a day. But this is what a normal day is for me. Breakfast-eggbeaters 2oz cheese
water 16oz
snack-8 oz milk and a scoop of unjury
water 16oz
lunch 2oz chicken salad
water
hot choc
supper- chili and cheese

Finally its saturday! I've been busy painting all this week. Now I have been workin on my daughters room. Samantha is in to carebears. She is having me paint each wall a different color. This is to go along with the care bear colors. I have had so much energy this week. Just let me say i am feelin so great.... It's just so hard to believe what this surgery has done for me. My blood sugar is fine now, my blood pressure is great. I have not been on the scale for a week, so who knows i may have lost more lol.....but some say you can go up or down on your weight the first couple of weeks. I have been eatin so many different foods,salsa,deer jerky,guacamole with chicken breast,pork roast. I'm still having a hard time gettin in the water. But i will get in what i can. I'm still doing 2 protein drinks a day and milk,juice. Its just so hard to remember to eat. I have forgotten on a few days. Like lunch,if no one is home i forget... I really told steven i need a timer. OH its gettin closer and closer.......CHRISTMAS!!!! My baby had her article picked for the local paper,its about What was the Best Christmas gift you gave.........well 6 out of the whole school got picked.........hers was good. It will run in the paper on Christmas Day.......well need to go eat breakfast.

lordy its been a long weekend. Well i am 6 weeks out and i have lost 32lbs by docs scale. I just can't get over that. I cant even tell. I also did a little shopping this weekend. I just can't seem to get going lol....I also went to gnc and bought me some designer whey protein powder......its good mixed with hot choc and milk. I went today and met with my trainer. He seems to no what to help me with.. I told him i'm worried about gettin FLABBY...he told me to start on cardio walk,the do a couple of sets ofweights on legs and arms. I figure i payed $100 dollars a month on meds ,that the money im saving will help my workout bill. I made deer jerky yesterday......yummy....high protein. I also had my first real breakfast..2 slices of bacon,and eggbeaters....and i have had chicken salad. I'm tryin everyday to add a new food. Just have to try new stuff ,some stuff does'nt sit well...but i have a new stomach. Now i have to see what will agree and what won't. I feel great though.........night

Its so cold here in kentucky....I still can't get over the fact that CHRISTMAS is around the corner. I still don't have my shopping done. But I did go get my hair cut today,took about 3 in off,i feel so much better. I'm still tryin to get all my fluids in 64oz a day....I was thinkin back to a couple of weeks ago about how lucky i was.....i was able to keep all my fluids and soups down when i came home.....some people on here are not that lucky. I had read so many profiles about how things was after surgery and i was scared, but so far its all worth it.....i just wish i would have done it 10 yrs ago. I have been measuring my food out, i bought this 2oz bowls that are great. Sometimes i can eat one bite and im full...other times i can eat 2 oz...thats why i measure....sometimes i dont feel full.

Today has been so cold out. I can't wait till summer. I have been doing the best that i can. Some days I can eat and some I can't, Today I had decaf tea,eggbeaterswith cheese and ham,20 oz water,eggdrop soup with turkey,4oz unjury protein with milk,4oz refried beans with chicken cheese,water,water, water. I do take my vitamins 2 flintstones,b-12 under tongue,2 tums,and bioton under tongue. You have to take these the rest of your life so that you will get in you nutrients. I have got alot of energy. I just can't get over how good I feel. Everyone says you look great!! Well I feel it ,even if i think i look fat!!!! I have pointed so many people to my site. I want everyone to read it. I had a wow moment today..my wedding band a size 9 fit on my thumb.....this has never been since i was married 9 yrs ago. My rings are jingling when i walk. I will have to take them off pretty soon. Today I cleaned out my closet ..........all those 22 cloths are gone! I am now barely in a 20. I have been shoppin at the goodwill. I feel like what am i gonna do . I have to get all new clothes. Mine are gettin so big. I have been buying every pair of pants with strings like athletic pants. I figure i can stay in them longer. I can tie them up. This surgery has done so much for me. I don't sit around feelin like a faliure because i couldn't lose weight on my own. This surgery is work, you have to eat slow, only eat 3 small portions a day. I still crave like sweets,but I no I can't have them or i will dump( throw up). Well gotta help Samantha with homework...

Well I got through my first Thanksgiving since wls. I got so sick off turkey...Let me just say i had to bites and then i got hot,chest started pounding,then i felt pain in my chest. OOOHHHHH,the next thing i no........I have pure white foam coming out of my mouth....I did this like four times......After this was all over i needed a nap...it wore me out, I hope I never do this again lol........But let me tell ya this ......I ate turkey today, and I was fine. I figure that I have to keep tryin. I did get to go Christmas shopping. I waited till noon, then i went. I found most of the stuff I went to get. I have been doing fine with my new pouch and everything has been going
great. I do feel like a new person,But let me just say that you need to be strong......I baked for Thanksgiving and made my own dinner for Steven And Samantha. I new going into this surgery I could do it.
