« 6-1/2 Months Post-Op » ... 117lbs lost ...
!!! URGHHH... NOTHING LOST IN WEEKS !!!
I'm so bad at keeping a journal...
Wednesday I had my 6 month post-op appointment, I asked to have my blood pressure taken as I was slowly cutting back on blood pressure pills and only taking one half of one pill per day. Here I was worried that it might be a little high and it was 104/60!!!
I've never had this low blood pressure, it's kind of worrying me. Also I explained how very tired i've been lately, that i've been going to bed at 7:30/8:00 totally exhausted! Which is sooo not like me i'm usually a night owl.
So the doc had me take a whole bunch of blood tests and will call me probably next week with results and another follow-up in 3 months.
I've been going to the gym now for about 5 weeks and really like it, 4 to 5 times a week for 1:30 to 2:00 hours a day, it's amazing how much more strength 
and endurance I already have in such a short time.
I guess that's it for now...
Ciao!

Just a little update, I went to the gym this morning for 7:00 there wasn't too many people there which is good for me, this way I can get into the routine and feel more comfortable there. I even broke a sweat! I don't like to sweat at all... Yuck! Then I looked a t this lady wearing grey thights and she was soaking wet to her knees... So I guess I will let myself sweat a little...
I started on the recumbent bike 20 minutes, then the treadmill for 15 minutes and finished off on the elliptical for 10 minutes. Not bad for a girl that just started training yesterday and was totally inactive.

I finally got the NERVE to enroll in a gym today!!!
After visiting three different gyms this morning I picked the 3rd one which is also the farthest but seems to have more professional and experienced staff.
I have an appointement for monday to meet with a trainer to go through all the different types of equipments and to build a workout plan for me.
But since I was there and motivated to start exercising after all my paperwork I was allowed to use a few cardio machines, so I tried the elliptical for the 1st time in my life and it was not bad... at first, but 10 minutes and my legs got wobbly and I got a little dizzy, I couldn't walk so I sat on the window ledge for 5 minutes to get my strength back. Then I did 20 minutes on the recumbent bike, which was not bad at all... I'm quite proud of myself, actually i'm very proud of myself...
Going back tomorrow morning for 7:00 if my thighs are not too sore!!!

Finally today the scale has moved!!!
Friday went to the hairdressers and had to cut off a huge amount of hair but i'm very very happy with the results... Hope the cut helps slow down the hairloss a little...
I have to say that my boyfriend finds my new haircut very cute and sexy...
and can't keep his hands off of me...
lolllHe's also very happy that i'm starting to take more care of myself, and to encourage me in my weightloss he took me shopping the next day for some new clothes, soooo I got a new pair of jeans in "SIZE 20" "WoW" haven't seen that in a while and a pair of sport pants with 2 tops to go with it... He's such a sweetie...
We really had a great week-end together.
Here's a picture of my new cut & streaks...
and here's a full body pic for my 4th month post-op...

Grrrr....
up and down the weight goes... It feels like it will take forever to reach -100lbs, it's been about 10 days of this "bouncing" for the 1st time in my life I can't wait to get my period so the scale can go down... lolll

« 3 months & 3 weeks Post-Op ... 94lbs lost »
I've almost reached my 1st goal of loosing 100lbs !!!
I'm very happy with the results! And have no regrets on having this surgery at all. Tell me how else could anyone loose 100lbs in 4 months???
Today had an appointement at Epiderma laser therapy for a consultation on removal of hair on my chin and upper lip.... eeeeeee very pricey but in the long run worth the $$$. The only thing is since I have light hair and my chin has 20% blond / 80% darker, and upper lip is 30% blond / 70% darker they can only guarantee for darker hairs to be removed. ummmh I think it's still worth it, just a little disappointed.
I also went to a muscle store to buy my 1st protein tub and was happy to find that they carried Nectar - fuzzy navel... yummm it's actually not that bad tasting at all but a little expensive $45./2lbs. Ohhh well as long as I can drink the stuff then maybe I can slow the hair loss a bit because at this rate in 2 months I won't have any hair left!
That's it for now, 'till next time... Take care everyone...

OK... my body is weird!!!! I count calories, watch the protein, drink drink drink water... and the scale barely budges! I eat whatever I want for a week don't count calories, or protein, and don't drink enough water and guess what?!? I LOOSE WEIGHT!!! Urggghhh! or should I say Yayyyy?
Unfortunately I also don't dump at all, I've had all kinds of sweets this week especially chocolates and yesterday had a piece of chocolate covered cheese cake, miammm...
Damn it was soooo Good!
Well at least now I'm much more satisfied with a smaller piece and don't just gobble it up like I would before without thinking about it.
