I haven't posted in while so please forgive me, but I am so excited to announce that I have reached my 1st goal of losing 100 pounds!!! This journey has not been easy for me and I have been working really hard to achieve all of my weight loss and fitness goals. I now have 55 pounds to lose in the next 5 months to reach my ultimate goal and there is no stopping me now! This month has been so great because not only did I reach my 100 pounds lost goal, but my hair has also STOPPPED SHEDDING!!! It was so weird though because even though my hair was shedding daily, it was still growing and is down my back for the first time in probably 10 years. It is probably due to the fact that I am the healthiest I have ever been in this decade and all the vitamins that I take on a daily basis! So what else can I say except that I am the happeist I have been in a long time and I am starting to look and feel like the woman I should be!

Well I will officially be 11 weeks post op on Wednesday and I am down 53 poumds! I just went back to work 2 weeks ago and I must say that the extra time off was much needed. I had a few problems with nausea and vomitting so I took extra time off at work other than that I have been fine. I started going to the gym a few weeks ago and it really has given me so much more energy! I don't really have much more to update you on besides feeling really good and trying to stay on track with my weight loss. I have given up the high calorie drinks and now I only drink water, Fuze, and Sobe water and I am fine with that. I also do a protein shake for breakfast if I don't feel like eating. I think I was just missing my sugary drinks and binged on them for a few weeks, but now they actually make me feel sick! So until next time...

I am now 7 weeks and 3 days post RNY. I am doing really well, I have lost 40 pounds since surgery, and finally feel like I am getting over my hump. I recently realized that sugary drinks do not bother me...a problem I was kind of hoping to have after the surgery. I can pretty much drink whatever I want and it doesn't bother me. I know that I shouldn't be drinking sugary drinks, but after avoiding them for so long I am kind of bingeing on them. I would probably have lost more weight if I had been controlling this better! I am really gonna try to cut out ALL high sugar drinks this week and see if that makes a difference in my weight loss.

After 2.5 weeks I thought that I would be doing a little better than this. I feel ok, not as tired all the time anymore, but I barely eat or drink, and I still can't manage to get all these vitamins down! I am really trying, but I am starting to get discouraged and upset. Everything I eat makes me nauseous and when I sip water it hurts!! I just miss being able to drink water like a normal person! I knew going in that things were going to be different, but sometimes I feel so alone and miserable. I hope things get better for me soon.

So after barely being able to drink more than a few sips of water since I came home from the hospital, I can now actually drink about an ounce at time. I was so scared of becoming dehydrated and being readmitted back into the hospital, but now I can breathe easier knowing that I can finally get more water into my system. Oh yeah before I forget I am exactly one week out from my surgery and I have lost a stunning 20lbs!!!! I know alot that was attributed to the fact that I am NEVER hungry and I barely have eaten anything all week, but it is still amazing to me! I was starting to feel a little better yesterday so I tried to EAT something (I am still on a full liquid diet) so I had maybe 1/4 cup of chili! And it was sooooo yummy and I actually tolerated it! So I am excited to see my doctor tomorrow so I can tell him that I think I can tolerate a soft diet...because I am dying to eat something. We will see how that goes...
