Well today I started the 5daypouchtest.  It is suppose to bring you back to the beginning of eating right and get you away from carbs and snacking.

Day 1 & 2 are liquid days...arrgghhh

I did make it threw today without cheating... I got in alot less protein than I usually do though.

Todays weight is 270.0

We will see if this works and I loose weight on it... LOL  I still want to be 265 or lower by the 31st... LOL

Happy Days are here again..... (la la la la)

Well I have been tweaking my food, actually eatting more.  Hubby is happy about it since I have actually been cooking... LOL (too funny)

Well I think my body was saying that I needed more food (strange to me, but true).  Well the weight started to come off again... today I am down to 270.5...whooohooo

I have a mini goal each month and this month my mini goal is to get to 265.0  I only have 10 days left of this month to loose 5 pounds... I think I might be able to do it if I stick to my new eatting more plan.

I tried eggs again and my pouch didnt protest, and chicken has gone down good too... so maybe I am back to eatting better foods, which is good I need more options.

Well that is my update so far.

Kinda Blue today.... 

I am a bit discouraged today with my weight loss... I know I am doing pretty good but I have been stuck around the same weight for sooooooo long it is really starting to get on my nerves.

Today I am 276.0 pounds.... which I am happy about but heck I have been within 1-2 pounds  of this weight for too long.  Yeah I know my body needs to catch up, and I have been eatting crackers which isnt the best choice to make.  As of today I have given up  carbs, which I dont really eat any but crackers.

When I look at the big picture, which is awesome, I am amazed at the amount of weight that I have actually lost in such a short period of time.  I guess I have always been impatient and wanted everything NOW... LOL... and I do understand that the weight didnt come on at once and it isnt just gonna fall off at once either.

Here is my Big Picture... share yours too and we can all feel a bit better when we hit the stalls that make us blue.
Highest Weight - 405
Begining Weight - 395
Surgery Weight - 373.5
Excess Weight to Normal - 240 (150 is my normal per doc)
Excess Weight to Goal - 205 (goal of 190)
Weight Today - 276.0
Total Pounds Lost - 119 (GONE FOREVER)
% of Excess to Normal Lost - 49%
% of Excess to Goal Lost - 58%

See the results are pretty amazing...  I guess I should be thanking my lucky stars that I am happy and healthy and losing weight... LOL

Thanks for listening to me whine... LOL

HOLY MOLY MACKEROLI!!!

Today I have hit 279.5!!!!

This has been one of my goals to get into the 270's.  I would have loved to have gotten to this weight by New Years Day, but heck I will that 4 days late... LOL

Everything has been going pretty good lately, food has been sitting in my pouch pretty good.  I still have a picky pouch that dosent like a bit of things, but it is pretty easy to keep it happy 99% of the time.  I still drink ALOT of skim milk.  I have found that I cant eat in the morning, so milk is my main protein in the morning.  I do eat alot of cheese and fish, and I still cant eat eggs or yogurt and some hard meats.

My excercise goal is to start working out at Curves ALOT more... LOL  I would love to do 5 days a week, but I am not sure that is a realistic goal.  So I will do my best, since I have to squeeze going to Curves around working and Daniel.

Well that is my update for now.

 Happy New Year!!!

Today is my 5 month surgiversary... LOL (I dont even know if that is a word or heck even spelled right... LOL

As of today my weight is 281.5, so that is down 92 pounds since my actual surgery day and 113.5 pounds down since I started the liquid diet right before surgery.   How amazing is that.

My percent of excess weigh is amazing also..  I started with 240 excess pounds (per doc, he said I should be 150..LOL), I started with 205 excess pounds to my goal of 190.  So far I have lost 113.5 pound and I have lost 47% of my excess weight and 55% of my excess weight to my goal of 190 pounds... How crazy is that, all of that in 5 months.... WOW

My inches have dropped dramatically also... 
Waist from 63" down to 48" = loss of 15"
Bust from 64" down to 52.5" = loss of 11.5"
Hips from 69" down to 56" = loss of 13"
Upper Arm from 18.5" down to 14" = loss of 4.5"
Thigh from 35" down to 27.5" = loss of 7.5"
Calf from 24" down to 19.5" = loss of 4.5"
Neck from 14.5" down to 13 = loss of 1.5"

I have gone from a never fitting 32 jeans to a nice fitting 24.  My top has gone from a 4-5XL down to a XL.

This surgery has been amazing.  I am working my tool to the best of my ability, I do admit that I havent excercised like I should but that is part of my New Years goal.

I think this is it for now... tomorrow is my actual "official Tuesday weigh in" so I will update with that too... :-)

Happy New Years,
Susan

There was a thread on the July 07 board about where we are size-wise compared to where we started.   This is my reply... it is kinda amazing.

OK this is what I know... now realize that I havent bought clothes in YEARS and that most of what I had was wore out and stretched out... LOL

Before surgery my 32 jeans werent even going to think about fitting... LOL and I wore 4X or 5X pants (stretchy ones).  My tops were 32 or 5XL (usually whatever the biggest X size they had). My bra was a 48H or 48I.

Now I fit into a pair of 24 jeans and an XL top (tops are anywhere from XL to 2XL depending on the top... but I think I am getting to where just XL fits now).  Bras I now wear a 44DDD.  The girls have moved far south... they were the first to go... LOL... my butt has been leaving me too, I use to have a shelf back there and it is now gone... LOL

I have gone from 395 (pre liquid diet) to 373.5 (just barely made the 20-25 pound loss that my surgeon required) to 282 today... so that is a total of 91.5 pounds gone since surgery and a total of 113 pounds gone forever.

I have a personal goal of 279 by December 31st (my 5 month anniversary) so that is 3 pounds to go.... not sure if I can make that.   I think I am doing GREAT just as I am... LOL

Happy day,
Susan

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

I hope that everyone had a great Holiday and took time to enjoy themselves.

It seems like holidays are just a big food fest... LOL

Well today is my "weekly" weigh in day... and I am at 282.5  Not too bad if I say so myself.  I think i am updating my New Years goal to be 279, I dont remember the last time I was in the 270's (heck who remembers anything in the 200's)

So this means that I have 3 pounds to loose by next week... we will see if that happens.

Food has been weird lately, some things just dont seem to sit right anymore and nothing sounds good.  Maybe it is because every day lately seems like a big "food" thing, and there was 99% of everything I couldnt/shouldnt/didnt want to eat... LOL

I will do my measurments again on the 1st so we will see how that goes.

I fit into a pair of 24 jeans and a XL shirt... HOLY COW... I remember when I would get the biggest shirt I can find, the more X's the better... LOL

Gotta run for now.
Happy Day

YIPPPPPEEEEEE!!!!

As of today I have lost a total of 110 pounds... whoooohooooo

My weight today is 285.0   who would have thunk it... LOL

Just that quick update today, I have lots to do today.  

Poor kiddo is sick, he was up all night with his ear, throat & cheek hurting.... this morning he said it is his neck that hurts.   I could tell he was really hurting, because he wanted medicine... and he HATES medicine.

Started working another line (for West) activating cell phones, that is a fun one... the job only lasts till Jan 1st, so I am picking up as many hours as I can while I can for this project and still have good family time for Christmas and working my other job... I am going to need such a nap when I am done with this... LOL

That is it for now,
Susan

YEAHHHHH!!!!!
Doing the happy dance today... LOL

My weight is 289.5 this morning... down a total of 105.5  whoooohoooo
I dont really remember the last time I saw the 280's..... so this is party time... LOL

Sorry I havent updated alot lately, but life has been pretty busy with Daniel's School, Daniel's Soccer and Christmas all wrapped up into one. 

My weight loss stalled for a good bit, but then decided to start falling off again which is good.

I joined Curves, but havent been as much as I would like.... hopefully that will change after the first of the year.

I have a cold or sinus thing going on right now... I wonder if that could be since the weather changes so darn much around here.... the last few days it has been around  75 or higher and now it is going to be getting colder... LOL

Well I gotta run,
