Almost to the Century Mark.. 8 lbs. away =)

Aug 21, 2009

Hi Friends and viewers, I have been doing VERY Well with my WLS... I am almost 6 months out, I am measuring out ALL My food, and just recently learned that I am supposed to be eating 1/2 cup of food instead of 1 cup, So I am happy that I found that out... I am continuing to take my Vitamins regularly, and calculating all my food intake, calories,protein,etc... on the internet in a journal.... I am walking a lot around campus, and going to get back to exercising/toning my muscles here soon with the weight set in the house....

As my title says, I am 8 lbs, away from the Century mark... I am SUPER Excitecd about that. For about 2 weeks, I was staying at the same weight, and was beginning to wonder if my weight would pick up... I knew it should be, because I am only 6  months out, so I knew I was doing something wrong, or was just on a plateau, and it would pick up soon.... I cut down from 1 cup of food, to 1/2 cup food, and am measuring everything.. YAY!!!  I have worked very hard and made a BIG Change to get to this point... I Can't wait for the Century Mark =) I will post when I make it!!! Love you all very much...

I went on July 9th and had my 4 month check up and everything is well. The weight is coming off a little slower, and I am picking up my protein intake. I finally learned how to get all my water in, and Im happy I can get all 64 OZ. in. Now to just get 84-100 OZ. Of protein... I am use to taking all my vitamins now, and  I have been exercising a lot in our new room we made... I have been doing about an Hour a day, and sometimes 30 min. if I am rushed. I love my new life, and I am very excited how things are going for me. It just don't get any better then this!

2 weeks out

Mar 23, 2009

Hi Everyone!

Today I am 2 weeks out and doing great. I was having problems with the dreadful word "Constipation" for the first week out, but I called the nurse at my Dr.'s office and asked what to do about it, and she said to go get some Benefiber. So I did, and that wasnt working. I called back and asked for more suggestions, she said get Milk of Magnesia. I had some last nite, and all problems are solved. And also, I found out that the meds I was on previously to WLS, Causes constipation too, so thats why Im having problems with that. Other than that, im fantastic... No pain at all anymore when I cough or sneeze or hiccup. I am still trying to figure out how in the world I can get all my water in. I have done it only 2 times and it was because it was a very hot day and I was really thirsty. I have to get 64 oz. in a day, and that helps flush me out, so thats very important that I do that. I am very excited of how things are going, and as of my first weigh in at Dr. Bakers office I have lost 32 lbs. Thanks everyone for all the love and support.....

First WOW Moment

Mar 19, 2009

Hi friends!

So today we went to Walmart and I was walking around getting my exercise, and I decided to stop by the womens department.

My dad was with me, and he was looking at some jeans...( LOL I love my dad) He picks up a pair of 21's and a 23 (I was wearing a 26 at the time) and he says why dont you go try these on? I looked att he sizes and said "Are you crazy"? I didnt think I was small enough yet to be in anything lower then a 24. So I went along with it and headed to the fitting rooms to try on these nice LEI DESIGNER JEANS That were absolutely gorgeous...

I went in the fitting room and debated on which one to try and I chose the 21's first. I slid them up and buttoned them, looked at myself in the mirror and said WOW!!!!  I walked out of the rooms in to the opening and called my dad... HE STARTED CRYING!!!!! It was so awesome.... The best day ever!!
