I had a non scale victory today...I have not been to Hobby Lobby in years. Today I went and walked the whole store. Then went to The Casino and then to WalMart. I haven't been able to walk for very long at a time for years. I came home and cried I was so happy. I'm tired but it felt really good that I was able to do it. 

The scale finally moved some this week. 12 weeks Post op I'm down 38 pounds, 66 pounds since I started in June 2017. The Dr. told me a pound a week was good. I don't agree with that, I want it alot more. But at this point I'll be happy with any kind of movement on the scale as long as it is a lower number. 

I'm doing better Mentally... It has been so confusing trying to figure out what to eat. There are so many opinions and all of them are different. I'm tired of trying to sort it all out. Just trying to keep the water and Potein up and letting the rest fall into place.

I'm walking so much better. I have noticed that I can now go to WalMart and not have to sit down to rest. And I can stand for longer periods of time. I'm feeling so much better. 

I am so confused about what to eat...I'm not a cook..I know I need high protein, low carbs, no sugar, low fat. ect. I have been reading different web sites and all of them are different. 

Like I said I'm not a cook, so the recipes are over my head. I think I have been doing pretty good but the scales still haven't moved. So I guess I haven't been doing someting right. 

Something else I heard today that hit home with me. Treat your surgery as your "BABY" and not a "TOOL". You take care of your baby. You feed it and care for it. A tool is something that you can just disregard, leave it laying around and not use it. It's a mind set... Something to think about...

Well its been 3 weeks since the scale has moved. I'm feeling pretty bad about myself. I'm doing what I'm suppost to. I've been walking more and eating what I'm suppost to. I just don't get why I'm not loosing.  I can tell some differance in how my clothes fit. I can now zip up my jacket that I have never been able to zip. Everyone says it is just my body adjusting. I wish it would hurry up and adjust.

I finally got out of the 400 pound range...Pretty Happy about that. Now to get to the 200 club. I've slowed down on the weight not falling off but I know It's just my body adjusting. I'm staying positive.

I reached my first goal...400 pounds...I've lost 29 pounds since surgery, and 57 pounds since I started this journey in June 2017...

My first non scale victory is that I can now clip my toe nails and put on my socks with out help. I'm very excited about that.

2 weeks and I'm down 20 pounds. very happy about that. It's nice to get on the scale and have it go down instead of up. I'm doing pretty good. Ready to start some soft food. I just have to remember to chew slowly. that seems to be the only problem I'm having right now. 

I'm feeling good. I thought I would really be sore, but I'm not. Just hungery. I even went on a short drive today. 

Been walking more and feeling good. Had some pain from the gas yesterday but it is gone today. 

I had my surgery yesterday. every thing went well except... They couldnt do the DS so he did the vsg.. I was very dissapointed but I'm good now.

I have a pocket at the top of the intestin and he said it was to dangerious To work around it. So did the sleeve instead. Better safe than sorry.

1 week to go before surgery. It's starting to feel real now. It has been so long waiting for all of this. 

I survived the first week of the diet from Hell. Just 1 more to go. I know the Good Lord is helping me, otherwise I would not have been able to do this. I can't wait till I start to see the results of all this and I start to see the melting away. Rollercoasters are calling my name.
