5-23-07  Well I have been bad and need to get back on track.  I went to the doctor the end of April to only find that the surgeons scale weighed different then the scale  I weighed on the 17th so that was a big disappointment.  My emotional eating is back and although I have not gained any weight I have also been on a stand still so I really need to get back to the drawing board.  I did do really well today so I am having to take this one day at a time again.  Today, I shot hoops with Christopher my almost 6 yr old.  I ran a race with him and also walked with my hand weights and did my arm exercises.  It has been really tough the last month.  I am getting enough protein and water in my also the "BAD" foods.  So the weight in the writing below is appartenly incorrect.  Well more later.  

 

4-17-07 Boy what a ride.  Went to the "weekend in the pines" in Park Rapids, MN this past week and what a weekend it was.  Barbara Thompson was there as a quest speaker and this woman is fabulous.  This was there 1st time doing this and it was AWESOME.  I have finally got my new picture added to my profile.  Weighing in at 181.  I am no longer consider morbidly obese just overweight and what a good feeling it is.  My BMI is under 30.  I have been feeling really good except I feel that I am constantly eating.  That emotional eating seems to be coming back.  Which was oh such a problem and nobody understands except someone that has struggled with a weight problem.  The weekend in the pines was awesome and I hope that they will be able to do this again in the future.  Thanks to everyone at Dakota Clinic for putting this on.  It was a well needed weekend. 

4-2-07 Haven't posted for some time.  Have been feeling really well.  I have lost 66 pounds so I am either 1/2 way to goal or more depending on what goal is.  I am shooting for at least 150 if not 130.  It was been interesting buying clothes as I do not know what size to buy.  I bought an XL in a junior both top and pants could not believe it and a size 12 jean no W that is a mile marker for me.  I haven't weighed for a while as my scale is so stupid and I keep forgetting to buy a new one.  My scale keeps telling me that I am not loosing any weight and then I go to an appointment and have lost.  Will try not to wait so long in between posts.   

2-23-07- I had to go to the hospital today for another dilation, darn strichters.  They said that this should be the last time.  I ate a plum last Thursday and have felt crappy ever since.  Liguids for another 4-5 days.  Am also battling a cold and Thrush.  When it rains it pours.  They weighed me at the hospital today and I am down 62.4 pounds I either have 40 to go for my highest goal or 64 to my lowest goal so either way, I am almost half way or over so it is a GREAT feeling.  Down loaded a couple of pictures.  Wish I had the ones of me last year in my swimming suit.   We are getting a snow storm today with a foot expected by Sunday night.  Well that is it for this entry. 

2-15-07 I did it, My scale went under the 200 mark.  I was so please with myself.  My DH and me went to a wedding and annivesary party this weekend and the complements were so AWESOME.  It makes ones self esteem really rise and yes boy have a had self esteem problems.  I have added a new picture but that still does not do justice.  I really wish by DH wuold have taken pictures before.  Things seem to be going well.  Will put a swimsuit on this weekend and go in public can't wait.  Just bought a new pair of jeans size 16 and not even a W behind that number.  Recently bought a couple of dress pants 14 W.  I can't remember the last time I was ever in that size maybe 5th grade??    

1-26-07 Went to Curves and weighed in today.  209 I had been stuck at 212 for the last week.  It was bad as I was out State on business for the weekend.  Now I am back home and can really concentrate on my eating and drinking.  I went to support group in Park Rapids last night and this really boosted my moral how rewarding I just wish it was closer.  I am thinking of becoming a leader for support groups I belive that would be interesting as there are several people in my area that have had the surgery. 

1-10-07------8 weeks post-op and down 35.5 pounds.  This made me feel GREAT!!

 

May 18, 2006 I went to Park Rapids for my counsultation and the education class for WLS.  My husband joined me.  We met as a group and then one-one with Sandy Jones and Dr. SMith.  Sandy told me that I was not ready for surgery at this time as I drank too much diet pop and smoked.  So that weekend we went out of town and at that point I started to cut down on what I drank and smoked.  Quitting drinking pop was easy the smoking was a bit tougher.  I actually smoked up till 2days before surgrey.  I did cut way back to approx 1/2 pack a day.  When I went to my counsltation I weighed 256.80 the day of surgery I weighed in at 252.50
