8 month postop ramblings....

Total weight loss since surgery: 119lbs
Total weight loss from highest weight: 138lbs
Holy shit...I'm down a total of 138lbs from my highest weight! Life is so good now. I love myself. I love what I see in the mirror :) Honestly, if I didn't lose much more now, I'd be fine with that. I'm a full blown size 12. Don't ever remember being a size 12 in my entire life. The smallest I remember myself is a size 14. Even with all the saggy skin, it's not so bad. I'm learning to accept my extra skin and look for flattering clothes. I hate my arms, but I'm slowly trying to wear sleeveless and tell myself "girl, you've come so far, what's a little extra hanging skin on your arms, you're skinny"! LOL!
I finally sized down my wedding bands. I was a size 10.25 and now I'm a 7.5! My 8 inch bracelets are huge on me...lol.
4 more weeks til hubby and I go to Vegas...getting excited!!

It's alittle over 6 months postop and I just wanted to jot down a couple thoughts....
Current weight: 199lbs! OMG I HIT ONEDERLAND!! WOOHOO!!!!
Loss since surgery: 106lbs
Total weight loss: 125lbs
I still haven't soaked it in that I've lost that much weight. My size 14's are getting too loose on me. Tried on a size 12 in the store and it fit! Agh!! I'm a large in tops. And I bought a cute 2pc (no, not a bikini) bathing suit which I rocked in :) Life is great! I'm about 35lbs away from my personal goal.
I love shopping in Victoria's Secret. It's like a candy store in there! I love pampering myself now, manicures and massages. My husband is more crazy about me NOW than ever. He calls me beautiful all the time instead of "hunny". We are going to Vegas for our 10 year wedding anniversary in June and we're gonna have one hell of a time!! WOOHOO!

Down 81lbs since surgery!
Down a total of 100lbs from highest starting weight! WOOHOOOOOOOO
Never thought I'd see the day when I lose 100lbs. Omgosh! What a feeling! Love it! I'm 25lbs away from onederland. My goal is to get to 199 by April, I think that's realistic.
I'm a full size 16 in jeans. Size 14/16 or XL in tops. My feet have officially shrunk and I buy shoes almost anywhere! Love not being a wide width anymore...lol.

I'm officially 3 months (and 2 weeks) postop!
To date, I'm down 78lbs since surgery and a total of 91lbs from my highest starting weight in April 2010! Omgosh, I'm almost 100lbs down! That's something I plan on celebrating. Either shopping for myself (I do need some new panties and bras..lol) or a nice dinner with hubby.
Nothing else to report really. Size 18 jeans are loose on me, some size 16 jeans fit me nice. Most of my 18/20 tops are huge on me now. Moving over to 14/16. Feels great 
2 months Postop Ramblings
Dec 09, 2010
Haven't written a blog in awhile, so here goes.....
Today I'm 2 months and alittle over a week out of surgery (10 weeks). I've lost 50lbs since surgery and a total of 40 inches! A total of 69lbs lost since starting my program at UMass. I went from a size 26/28 in tops, to a 18/20 (still got big boobs for now) and a size 24/26 in pants to an 18 (losing all my ass). I couldn't be more happier! I love the way I look, my self esteem has shot thru the roof and everyone has noticed my massive weight loss....family, friends, co-workers. It's nice getting compliments and being praised for my success :)
I'm having a hard time with keeping up with my vitamins. I take some, miss some. I work 10 hour shifts and try to squeeze in more sleep in the morning and then rush to get my kids from school and ready for work. It's frustrating. I wish there was one magic pill that included everything we need to take...lol.
I'm still NEVER HUNGRY, which in one way is awesome, but in another; I need to remember to eat. I was doing good tracking everything in a food journal, and since returning back to work, I don't do it anymore. I was meeting my protein goals (close enough, not 60g though) and now I'm probaby around 45g. I can't find a protein powder or drink I like. Everything I tried makes me sick to my stomach. To date, I haven't dumped on anything nor vomited so I certainly want to keep that up.
I did cheat on Thanksgiving and had a sliver of pumpkin pie. There have been times where I had a teeny peice of birthday cake with a dallop of ice cream and did fine. I know I can't eat a huge peice anymore and I don't dare try. I don't dare challenge myself whether I dump or not. I read labels on everything and don't go over 15g of sugar in one eating episode. I drink Crystal Light like it's Coke Cola and I love Diet Snapple.
I haven't noticed too much hair loss yet, I know it might be coming. Everytime I brush my hair, I do lose some, but nothing out of the ordinary. I plan on buying some biotin and start taking it starting after New Years.
BEFORE SURGERY FACE SHOT
2 MONTHS POSTOP FACE SHOT
5 weeks and 2 days postop

My size 22 jeans have been getting loose on me, so I went shopping today and I am a size 20 now! Omg! It felt great trying jeans on and looking in the mirror.....and I realized, after this size, no more 20 nothing!!
I also have a confession, I gave in and had some halloween candy. I was craving chocolate and after looking up the nutrition facts of a fun size Hershey with Almonds, I figured it wouldn't hurt. It only has 70 calories and about 8g of sugar. Shit, my yogurt has more calories and sugar than that!! One peice satisfied my craving and I didn't even care for more. It's nice to be somewhat normal again and indulge once in awhile, in a smart way :)

3 Weeks Postop
Oct 19, 2010
So today I'm 3 weeks postop! Nothing really different this week since last, just still having a hard time with protein. I completely stopped the carnation, I can't stand it no more. Trying to keep up with all my vitamins, certainly still all new to me (this new lifestyle).
I've been eating yogurts, soups and doing good with my water intake. FYI - Split Pea soup is disgusting! Lots of protein in it, but gross as hell...lol.
I see the nutrition on Friday and will be moved to mushy foods, can't wait!
Weight loss since surgery: 26lbs
Weight loss since starting program: 45lbs
