Update

Nov 04, 2008

Ok its been a long while since i have updated my profile, so here goes.  I am almost 7 months post-op.  I have lost a total of 81 pounds.  I am off all medication minus vitamins and calcium. 

I am almost 12 weeks along in my 2nd pregnancy.  So far everything is going well.  I went to the Dr yesterday and was told that I might have to go back on Insulin just for the duration of my pregnancy.  THAT SUCKS.  I have gone from a size 24 to a 16 and am loving it.  I hope that after this pregnancy I will be able to continue to lose and reach my goal of 100 pounds.

Well, Thats it for now.

3 Months out

Jul 01, 2008

I had my 3 month check up yesterday and everything is going good.  I have lost 61#'s and am now off all medications.

The only problem i have now is trying to keep cloths that fit.

4 weeks out

May 08, 2008

Well tomorrow I will be 4 weeks out, and I feel like I am at a stall.  I don't think the scales have moved all week.  First out of surgery I tried to only weigh once a week, now since the scales are not moving, I am finding that I weigh everyday.  
One thing that I have noticed, I still try and eat for comfort.  Haven't quite found anything that makes me feel as good yet.  Still worried about protien and fluid intake.  I go back to the Dr. on Monday, so hopefully I will get some good news.

First day back to work today.  I muct say it was a long day.  So far I have been able to keep down everything that I have eaten.  Although sometimes it feels like its hard to breath.  I asked my doc about that, and he said that it was sometimes normal.  Since the diaphram sits onto of the stomach, or vise versa.  I don't feel like I get enough protein.  I think I'm obsessed about it, I just really don't want to lose my hair.  I have tried the Isopure and the Nu Whey bullets neither were a sucess.  Today at WM I found a Protien drink that is like a Starbuck's drink.  It was really good, just really high in sugar as well.  

Till next time

2 days to go

OK everyone,  I know that I am a horrible person  but I cheated.  I ate.  Not just once but twice.  My family and I went to the NASCAR Race this weekend in Dallas ( btw it SUCKED)  and I couldn't take it anymore.  Friday night I ate Chinese food, and Saturday night I ate Red, Hot and Blue BBQ.  I did not eat healthy at all.  I feel so guilty.  Anyway, since then I have been on the straight and narrow.  Nothing but slim fast and water.  

2 Days till surgery.  I feel a little stressed and scared, but right now I just wish it was over already.  I was told that I couldn't pic up my daughter for 3 weeks and that has me stressed more than anything.  

Ok

8 days and counting

Apr 01, 2008

Okay, I must say this really sucks.  I know that I am just head hungry, but IM HUNGRY.  I still have 8 days of this.  I know that I need to do this liquid diet.  I even know why my doc put me on it, but, did I say this really sucks.  Everyone is my office eats non-stop.  Everyone stops by asking if I want some and I want to scream YES.  But I just sit here with my EAS myoplex 42 gram protein shake and be good.  I knew this was going to be hard, I just didn't know the smell of food like popcorn, would be so incredible.

I am still being good, its just getting harder and harder.

Thanks for the venting.
