I changed my name on here, it was Phoenixthorn7, now it is Shelly.  I even put a new picture up.  I will however not be posting anymore. 

Today it is official, I am at 149!!!  Last night my boyfriend picked me up and carried me across the house, How crazy!!!

Well everyone...just when I was about to say this was not worth it...I had a week full of wows.  First I went shopping and bought a dress, a size 16 dress and it is loose.  I was in size 22 dress.  I also tried on some pants, cause mine were falling down.  I went into the dressing room with a size 20 and a size 18 (the ones I had were 22's) and check this out...neither one fit!! I am also a size 16 pants(no wonder my 22's were falling lol).  Then I decided to check my weight....here it comes...I am overweight!!!  I needed this after all the emotions and sad feelings.  I cut my hair all off because I was losing it.. and that made me feel horrible..but now I can actually see something that makes me feel worth it.  Hair grows back, hopefully I wont!

I now weigh 156! Yeah!

Ok So I got my 3 month labs and they were wonderful!!  I also went shopping for clothes for the first time since surgery.  Guess what?  I fit into a size 16 dress and size 16/18 pants.  I started wearing a 20 dress and size 22 pants.  How cool is that huh? For the first time in years I bought a dress.  I will be showcasing it at my grandma's 90th birthday party. this is also the first time anyone in my family besides my mom and dad will see me since surgery.  I am excited.

I havent had any real problems.  I am doing better about getting everything in.  I am losing a little bit of hair, but was prepared for it.  I am not losing like I wish I was.  I am at 164.  I do not know what I should be at.  Sometimes I wish my surgeon was not 4 hours away.  I looked at my most recent naked pictures and only see a slight difference.  I asked my B/f where I had lost weight from and he said he could see it in my face.  So I said " I lost 50 pounds in my face?" and he said "you must have".  I love men lol. 

having some trouble getting my protein in. I ordered some,so hopefully all will go well.  I want to get out and exercise more.  I have noticed that I have some spare skin turning up in places, its kinda cutethough, but I will hate it later.  I got in a week for my labs.  Hopefully all will go well. 

Today I was minus 50 pounds!  Still the same size pants.  I am excited though. 2 month out.

Everything has been going as well as can be expected. I went to see my doc and got my drain thing out and feel so much better. I am now at 170. Same size pants though. GRRR! I have been eating pretty much protein all day, hoping my hair loss will not be but so bad. I see more coming out on my brush, but not enough to cause alarm just yet.

Hey yall. Well today I decided to update. Things are going fine. I have an appt. with my surgeon on wed. the 4th for labs and to maybe get this tube out. I am nervous, the damn thing has been in for almost 2 months. I started walking at the gym  cause jeez, I get so cold now! I am sad to see some of the cool people having to leave the boards, kinda depressing... The thing I do not like about this surgery is...... I miss eating food that I do not have to cook. Jeez...I really dislike cooking..but it seems like everything that you do not cook it bad for you. I bought a timer last night and I am going to start timing out my meals, see if that doesnt make things easier. I am getting super paranoid about my labs, I have been trying to do everything right, but you just never know if you are screwing up till you see the results.
