I'm firmly planted in the 160's!!!!
Feb 24, 2007
I couldn't believe my eyes this morning as I weighed myself.
I only lost one pound in the past two weeks and I'm down 4
lbs this week, taking me to a low that I haven't seen since my
20's. I just can't believe it. I could cry.

Clothes Shopping
Feb 05, 2007
So far I had been "shopping" from my closet since I had every size under the sun in there. I desperately needed some "non-mom" jeans so I went shopping. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I fit nicely into the 14's (after trying on the 16's that were falling off of me).
I bought a few pairs and wore one the next day.
Two hours later, my pants are too loose! I'm taking the others back to exchange for 12's!! I haven't been this size in YEARS.
It really gave me a mental boost!
Hubby told me the other day as I was dressing for bed, "You're half the woman you used to be. I can't believe how small you're getting!".
It put a smile on my face.
I tested my blood sugar last night out of curiosity and my level is still NORMAL!!
The exercise is going great. I'm doing either pilates, cardio, Walk Away The Pounds or weights 6 days a week. You won't believe the difference in how in makes you feel!!

Seventy one pounds down!!!
Jan 16, 2007
My wiegh-in for the week was only 1 lb lost, but I'm down 71 lbs total! I'm fitting into some 16's nicely. Depends on the brand, but most fit.
This past weekend I went through my closet where I've had jeans ranging from 14-24. Of course I donated all of my bigger jeans, and i had a few new pairs I bought a couple of years ago that I never took back thinking "I'll lose weight and will fit into them soon". Wrong.
Well, they're too big now lol. I passed them by without realizing it.
I'm getting a lot of comments on how "skinny" I am. I know I'm looking and feeling much better, but I'm far from being skinny, lol.
I'm still 185 lbs and people don't think I need to lose anymore weight. Hubby says I'm not as comfy snuggling to in bed any longer. He actually called me bony. I'm far from it, lol. I upped my goal from 130 to 135. I don't want to be super skinny. I just want to be "normal". I may up it further, but I'm not sure if I can NOT go past it. We'll see when I get there, I guess.
Having a lot of stomach pain. I think I'm getting an ulcer. I was h-pylori positive before surgery and did my round of antibiotics for it, but my pain meds really hurt my stomach. I woke up pain free this morning after two full days of bad stomach pain. I put a call into my surgeon's office and am waiting for a call back any moment. I know he'll probably want to scope me and I don't wanna!!! I'm taking my Prilosec twice daily now and that seems to be helping. I'm staying away from anything acidic. It was lemon juice I had put on my avocado that started this last round of pain. It started hurting the moment it hit my pouch. I mean, the pain was bad.
I've yet to attend a support group meeting post-op due to the holidays and such. I'm eager to go to the meeting next month. They're held on the first Saturday of each month.
I'm joining a gym this week. I can't wait!!!!

Comparison- so far.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!
Dec 24, 2006
Today is my official weigh-in day. I'm only down 1 lb for my 7th week. I'm not surprised since I hear there is usually a stall around week 6-7. I'm on track and that's all that really matters.
I have been dealing with nausea lately. I've been upping my water the past couple of days and it's helped some. I read that the nausea goes away at about 2 months and I can't wait. This "morning sickness" feeling is for the birds.
We've had a wonderful Christmas morning with our boys. We'll be seeing our daughter and grandchildren later on this afternoon.
I'm making Prime Rib for dinner and I'm going to give it a try. No red meat to speak of so far, just a bit of ground beef here and there with no problems.
I hope you all have a wonderful day with family and friends.
Rose :)
