November 11th, 2011 will be my 8 month mark and I have lost 105lbs. to the day. I have 50 more lbs. to go to get to my 175 lb. goal mark! 1st I am just trying to get to under the 200lb. mark lol. At this stage the weight is slowing down and yes I am still eating healthy and I can put more in but it still takes me time to eat that little bit of more. Sometimes all I want to do is go back a stage and just start all over again...Ughh! Hey guess being 105lbs. down finally is showing me that yes I can and have been doing this all along it just amazes me at how long it seems to take for the weight to literally come off. Others make it look so easy and I guess sometimes I feel like I am at a struggle cause I am not sure what to even do at this point to make the weight fall off any faster? Does this make sense to anyone? I literally just started to lose weight again slowly but surely after almost a month of staying at 230lbs! I am down to 225lbs and well come on weight seriously I have been eating healthy as can be and yet I am keeping the weight just hanging on! I also exercise to help it come off and it just stays there? Whatever this is how I feel at times just whatever....

Well here I am 4 months out and 70lbs down! It is extremely hard to believe that I am 70lbs down since I have started this journey. Loving the newer me but still have my down days cause I feel as if its just going by too slow. Usually at 4 months out people have lost their 100lbs already. I am doing the right things and it just seems like I eat healthy and yet it comes of so freaking slow. But hey slow is good I guess. At least the skin wont be hanging off too bad. I guess I just need a swift kick in my ass is all lol.

So I am 3 weeks post op and I am down 23 lbs! Not too bad for a start considering I did start at 330lbs before surgery I lost 10 lbs which brought me to my starting weight which was 320lbs. So they started me at the 320lb mark cause I lost the 10lbs before surgery to shrink my liver. Surgery went well of course and each day I do what I have to do to stay on course. I weighed in this morning at 297lbs and it seems so unreal that I almost think my scale is broken. I really do think its broken cause I step on it one way and it says 297 and i step on it straight footed and it says 305. So I either gained 5lbs or lost 3 lol. I think I lost the 3lbs which is cool and being below the 300 mark like I said seems extremely unreal now! I am taking each day with baby steps. I keep up on my vitamins and B12 and Calcium and Vitamin D everyday! This week just seems weird cause I thought maybe 10lbs per week cause one of my friends had lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks and me losing 23 is just as good but I feel like is this normal or am I just different lol? Stupid question huh. Yeah keeping up with my proteins and staying on task drinking my liquids as well. This lifestyle change is for the better and I am feeling so healthy day to day! I havent felt this healthy in forever and a day! My roux en y is actually working!

Finally got my surgery ladies! Its only been a week and my blood pressure has gone down to a normal range and no complications from my surgery at all! I am so super stoked about how well things are going with me healing and all. Staying positive from day to day through all of this. Learning the baby steps!

Was wondering how you go about posting in groups on here?

I am getting closer to getting my surgery date. I have done all my classes and such and on January 14th, 2011 I will be doing my med eval paperwork and then on February 1st, 2011 I have my psych eval. and then I will get to meet my surgeon and have a set date. Things just seem so far out I guess waiting for things but little by little I am finishing up the last portion of the Weightloss Pathway. I am definitely looking forward to the newer me! I am 33 years old a mother of 3 and married to such a wonderful husband who keep me going from day to day. I want to grow old with them all and live to a very old age. I am 322 lbs. and life is just not like it used to be when I was growing up. I used to think I was overweight back then but I wasn't. I was skinny and I just never saw it until I looked back on older pictures of myself. I couldn't believe how good I looked and I want that person back. I went through 5 years of panic attacks and depression and utter hell thinking I was gonna die from a heart attack. I feared going to the doctor all the time cause I was afraid they would give me bad news. Well here I am today going to doctors appointments and I have overcome my anxiety fears and have moved forward from that life. My new life now sets me on the path of getting my surgery done and losing this weight and growing old with my husband and being a better rold model for my children.
