Wooohooo!!! First MAJOR goal achieved!!!!!!

Mar 14, 2010

I am sooooo excited!!!!!  I have achieved my first MAJOR goal of weighing under 300 pounds.  I got on the scale this morning and it was 299!!!!  It has been a very long time since I seen a 2 at the beginning of my weight.  We're talking somewhere around 9th grade.  We're talking 16 or 17 years!!!!!  I wasn't sure how I would initially react when I finally reached under 300.  I just had to stand there for a minute and take it all in.  It actually brought me to tears.  I took a picture of it so I could alway remember this moment.  This has been a long and difficult road, but it's moments like this that make every single minute of it worth while!!!!!

Getting Frustrated!!!!

Feb 11, 2010

My weight has not budged in 9 days!!!  I have been stuck at 319.5 pounds.  I don't know what the problem is.  Nothing has really changed in my diet.  I know I need to step up my protein.  I had to go off of the protein shakes for about 2 weeks and I'm just starting them back.  I also need to step up my excercise.  I haven't been able to do it as much this past week.  I have gone from averaging about a pound a day to doing jack squat in over a week.  It's very frustrating!!!!!

Lowest Weight in 10+ Years

Feb 02, 2010

I have reached my first goal.  I weighed in this morning at 319.5 pounds.  This is the lowest I have weighed in over 10 years.  When I was pregnant with Nora in 2006, I lost almost 50 pounds and got down to 320.  Needless to say, it didn't take long to gain it all back and then some.  This makes my total weight loss since December 1st at 60.5 pounds!  Yayyy!!!!

BOOBS ....

Jan 28, 2010

Okay, I know I'm not the first person to post this but .... I DON'T LIKE LOSING MY BOOBS!!!!!  It's one of the very few things about my body that I have ever liked.  When I went into the hospital for my surgery, the lady in x-ray told me to start saving my pennies, nickles, and dimes.  I asked her why.  She said I was going to need them for a boob job later.  Her sister had gastric bypass two years ago.  She went from full DDDs down to deflated Cs.  She couldn't stand it.  She saved up her money and got them back the way she wanted them.  Only she went with DDs instead of the big three.  She said it really raised her self confidence level.  The lady was really nice and really funny.  But it did get me to thinking that I need to start saving up.  I don't think I would like having two deflated balloons attached to my chest.  I definitely want to wait until I've lost the majority of my weight.  It will take me that long to save up that much money anyway.  Just a thought.

7 Weeks Out

Jan 26, 2010

I am 7 weeks out from surgery.  I had gastric bypass on Dec 15, 2009.  The first week out was rough.  I stayed nauseous most of the time.  Thankfully, that finally went away.  The all liquid diet for the first two weeks was a lot easier than I thought it would be.  I have moved on to soft proteins.  I have to admit, I'm struggling with it a little bit.  I am not a meat person.  I am not a vergetarian by any means, but it's hard to do just meat.  I eat eggs and cheese, but you get tired of that all the time.  I am very much looking forward to February when I can start eating some veggies.  My weight loss has been wonderful so far.  I weighed in at 377 on Dec 1st.  I weighed in this morning (1/26/10) at 321.5.  I couldn't be happier.  My clothes are starting to get really baggy on me .... but I refuse to buy anything until I absolutely have to.  I am so happy with how everything is going so far and I can't wait to see how things are going within the next few months.
