FIrst off I am sooo happy that I have lost 115 lbs....I just feel like I have stalled for the last few months .  I know I need to exercise more.  I just have no motivation.  I just feel like I am running in circles and never have time to just breath.  Anyway, i am just frustrated and scared that this is as far as I am going to get.  I only have about 40 lbs left and I want to get there so badly. 

-101 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On my 9 month surgiversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what a great gift.....

198.8 lbs as of right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a fantastic thing to wake up to.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here is an updated pic.....I am amazed at the fact that I have lost my double chin for the most part...

So I decided I have to be more accountable about what I am eating.  So I will start posting on the Eating Good in the Neighborhood thread.  Other people say I eat like a bird, but I can see some of my old habits creeping in and I eat stuff that I shouldn't.  I know I shouldn't be doing it, but I don't stop myself.  It is sooooo hard trying to cope with everything in different ways other than eating.  I am such an emotional eater it isn't even funny.  I find now that I am just an emotional wreck some days.  I can go from bawling to pissed to bawling and back again in like a matter of 5 minutes.  I don't really feel depressed, I just get really emotional.  Alot of times it is with my boyfriend.  He is a very direct kinda guy and I have always been able to handle his harshness in the past, but lately it seems I just can't take it.  I just loose it.  ughh   Anyway, I am hoping as my weight stablizes in the future that so will my emotions.  Anyway, that is all for tonight I think.

So, I am trying to put an update with some pictures...... Here goes...

Here is before surgery:



Here is a picture from November:



I know the last pic is a couple months old but wow....what a difference.
I can not wait to look at the final result!!!!

I have not updated in the longest longest time.....but so far I am doing really good.  I have lost 80 lbs so far and today slipped right into a size 18 jeans.  Didn't even have to lay on the bed and struggle to get them buttoned and zipped.  That is a lonnnnnngggg way from the 28's I used to wear.  I am glad that will never ever be a part of my life again.
Foods are going well.  I try to eat as much protein as I can, but I am still ending up on the short side most days.  Still gaging down those nasty protein shakes and I am taking an amino acid liquid that in 3 Tbsp has 15g of protein.  It is nasty, but I figure 3 Tbsp of nasty is better than 8 oz of nasty. 
So i will try to update more often now.  I finally got internet at home so it should be alot more frequent.

I haven't written here for a while-life has been crazy...

I have been feeling pretty good lately and am down 52 pounds.  I have to get up some more pictures soon.  Everything is going fine for the most part-I feel sick every once in a while, but I think it may be from eating too fast or something.  Anyway, talk to you later!

So, I am crossing my fingers that it stays this way......My Nausua is gone!!!!!!!!!!!  I had my appointment with Dr. Garcia and he said since it have went almost 2 days and have been feeling better that it should be over yeah!!!!!!!  I am going out this weekend for the first time so hopefull it will go ok.  It is rodeo weekend where I grew up so that is where I will be.

I should be able to go to  group this  month, so that will be nice to be able to see everyone and  all.
