I am running into the shower before church but I just wanted to check in and send best wishes to all of my OH "Buddies." Your words of advice and encouragement really make this journey a complete  joy! Even on a "down" day I stop into "Bariatric Buddies"  and get the lift I need from your fun stories and blogs.

How do you like the new pic? I LOVE it! For once I look like the me I see in my head, if that makes any sense. I will find out what I weigh on Tuesday, but my clothes are definitely LOOSE! So either way I am happy enough to consider starting up my "Walking" videos again to keep this weightloss going and rev up my energy.

Well I better jump in that shower!

Love you guys,
Tania

Well after such a busy week today I slept in and took a nap. Wow. We did go see a movie "District 9", it was good, but I didn't find it great. (Many of my friends/family did, so maybe it is just DH and I.)

Not much to say today. I didn't lose an weight yet today, but I'm not seating it. I just keep wanting to pinch myself thinking about LONG TERM WEIGHT LOSS. wow. Anyway, besides feeling a little lazy, I am doing pretty good.

Back to work Monday for a few days training, then a couple of days of room organizing and prepping for a new grade/new year. Exciting!

Well, my family helped me move all of my school stuff to my new classroom! I have too much stuff! Now it's time to get in there and organize it! They even volunteered to come back and help during the next two weeks. :)

Well, I feel great. I have lost 25 pounds according to my scale. My incisions are healing nicely, but are itchy! One is so itchy I put a bandaid on it! But they look so good. My post-op checkup went fabulously. He said to expect to hit a "tired/fatigued" time possibly, but to push through it. I am walking throughout the day with all of our family activities, last time I had the pedometer on I hit almost 4 miles! Next will be re-setting up the treadmill so that it can actually be folded out and used. No other exercise allowed yet, but I can drive!

I started my vitamins yesterday, yuk! All are flavors I liked before, but are so chalky that I have trouble swallowing after chewing and chewing. I am taking Celebrate, but I wish it were not so much to swallow.

I want to thank the great new friends who have been dropping me notes of encouragement!! You guys are angels!!!!!

Anything new with you? I can't wait to hear how everyone is doing!

Kicking back watching Ron White, I am getting drozy. I called the doctor earlier and told him that I was not able to get to sleep until 3AM, o now I am on Benadrill. I will get to sleep earlier tonight!

So a short blog today. Here it is.

 

Okay, I couldn't get to sleep until after 3AM, woke up at 9AM. We went to see Julie & Julia (fabulous!) and shopped w/Aunt Nan at Meijer's for like 2 hours. I am beat (but happy)!

Well, we are having our August birthday's get together at Great Wolf Lodge next Monday. I still need a few birthday gifts, so 4 days out of surgery... today is shopping day! I picked up a few super cute outfits for my two nephews (1 and 2 year olds!), two cool shirts for my boys (9 and 11), and then stopped for a movie theater gift card. Now I need to get these gifts and my best friends scrapbooking "stuff" and copper wind ornament wrapped up! I love August. Also, DH was happy because I went "out." and that makes life seem more normal for him. (Who would have to thought that he would get so happy for me to shop.)

No meds today until bedtime. :) I took them way early since I have been informed that Loritab initially make you zippy, then hours later tired. Maybe that's why I have been up until 3AM the last two nights!

Tomorrow... the movies. Julie & Julia, I can't wait!

Why am I not sleeping now? No naps today, unless you count when I started falling asleep around midnight. Anyway great day today, started re-organizing my house. Had the boys begin cleaning the fruit cellar. DH was cleaning "around" the bedrooom and family room; but I have to say, he did get a lot done. Definitely more to do tomorrow!

Pain-not too much

Trying to carry a water bottle to remain hydrated! I'm getting better at it. No pop in 2 weeks. Really this is a miracle. No, seriously I ALWAYS had a diet pop on me, always. I feel good though and I know that this is way better on my little pouch! :) Looking forward to a great tomorrow!!!!!
