70lbs Gone. Happy New Year to me!

Jan 01, 2009

Okay.  I can not believe that I have lost 70lbs.  I do not even recognize the feel of my own face when I am washing it!  It is the weirdest thing.  I look at myself in a mirror and I don't even remember the person looking back at me.  And this skin thing, OMG!  Please tell me it gets better.  Thank you all for your support.  I have met the most awesome people since starting this journey.  I hope we all have the best New Year of our lives!!!

Another 20 lbs!

Dec 08, 2008

I'm so blessed.  I have lost 60 lbs today.  I feel like a new person.  Today I am 3 months post-op.  I never thought 190 would feel so good!  Thanks to everyone that has continued to support me.  I am so blessed to have you as a part of this journey.

Below 200!!!!!!

Nov 21, 2008

I made it!  I was 199.5 yesterday and I am 198 this morning.  52 lbs gone in 10 1/2 weeks.  I can't believe it.  I finally weigh less than my husband.  I have weighed more than him for years.  It feels great.  I bought my 1st pair of post-op jeans yesterday in celebration.  I have gone from a 20W to a 16 misses.  Yeh me!!!  I will see some of my husbands family tonight that I haven't seen since surgery.  I can't wait to see their response.

My second 20 pounds gone!!!!!

Oct 29, 2008

I just can't believe it.  I have lost 40 pounds in 7 weeks.  This morning I ran into my cousin and his wife and the wife looked at me and said "How much weight have you lost?"  I was so excited that she could tell I had dropped some significant weight.  All I can say is God is good! 

2nd session with personal trainer!

Oct 16, 2008

My 2nd session was much better!  I told Chris, the personal trainer, that he could forget me doing those lovely lunges today.  He won.  And they were a little easier today.  I am down 32 pounds today and feeling great.  I still find it challenging to get all of my protein and liquids in.  It makes me feel really good when people notice the change.  Lord knows I'm working on it.

My 1st session with my personal trainer!!!!

Oct 10, 2008

OMG.  I found out I had muscles today that I didn't know I had.  I did the treadmill for 10 minutes and he worked my muscles for 1 solid hour.  I probably will not be able to walk tomorrow and forget getting off the pot by myself! LOL.

My 1st red meat

Oct 10, 2008

I had hamburger tonight for the 1st time since surgery and I tolerated it well.  I browned the meat and then used a chopper and grated it to the consistancy of Taco bell meat.  I then added taco seasoning and kept it moist.  I added mexican mix cheese and had about 1/8 cup.  Yummy.  It was nice for something different.

One Month Out!

Oct 08, 2008

I am 1 month out from surgery and 28 pounds gone forever!!!!  As of last Friday I had lost 14 inches.  I feel great.  I have had no regrets.  I still have a long way to go, but my energy level has improved greatly.  I have my 1st session with my new personal trainer on Friday morning at 10:15.  Say a prayer he doesn't kill me!

OMG GRITS!

Sep 30, 2008

Grits and my pouch do not get along!!!  I tried 1-1.5 oz of grits and 18 hrs later I still thought my pouch was going to explode.  No more grits for me for a while.  They are not my friend.  I am down 24 lbs today though.  Yeh me.
