feeling happy!
Apr 26, 2008
Ok, so I went shopping today! I am able to wear most tops that are large, some are x-large. And I actually am currently wearing a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to get on for 4 years. They were my favorite Levis! It feels so great to actually feel good health wise and feel great with the way I am looking! I haven't felt like that in, um forever. I actually am walking with my head up and shoulders back. Ready to live life and not be in the back corner feeling like I am out of place. I wish that I knew about this surgery earlier in life. But I believe that things happen in our lives when they are supposed to and I guess I was ready to make the changes in my life now to be successful with this. All I can say is thank you God for this wonderful, life saving surgery.

Apr 01, 2008
OK, so I weighed myself today and I am under the 230 mark now. It feels so liberating to go down to the next faze of numbers. I can't wait to get down the next 31 pounds just to be out of the 200's. I am so pleased with myself.Yay for me!
6 weeks
Mar 24, 2008
So Wednesday I go to the Dr. Moons for my 6 week checkup. I am kinda looking forwards to it. I am afraid that he is going to tell me to get more protein in. I am trying. I am getting in the water most days, some days not all the water. It is hard sometimes to get all that water in. Anyways, it is so nice to now be seeing the weight loss coming off and feeling it in my clothes. I have hit a bit of a stall but I must be loosing inches because most of my dress pants are baggy in the but and loose in the legs and of course the waist. I am trying to stay away from the scale and only weighing 2 to 3 times out of 7 days. It is so hard to though.
Anyways, I hope that everyone else is doing great.
Happy belated Easter to all.

Fish!
Mar 15, 2008
Ok, so I got the experience of tossing my cookies. My hubby and I went out to dinner last night for fish. I was soooooooo looking forward to it. However, 15 min, after eating less than a ounce, in the bathroom I was. I was a bit embarrassed because someone came in the bathroom. But, I had to get rid of it. I thought that I did, but upon visiting at a friends house I had to excuse myself two times and be sick again. Geesh. Needless to say, I wont be trying fish again for some time. I have lost 30 pounds though, that makes me happy. It is a solid 30 pounds, no tenths of pounds in there, Anyways, eating is nice, but a little scary. Just have to be careful I guess.Teresa
Yea!
Mar 10, 2008
Yeah, today is a red letter day! I had my second appointment with the nutritionist. We met again as a group and let's just say that everyone in the group was thrilled. We are now allowed to eat food, and are thrilled. So damn the torpedo's and full steam ahead to find some good, tasty protein.Thank you Lord!
Oh, and I am now under 240.:)
first nut appointment
Feb 20, 2008
Had my first appointment with my nut today. How excited I was to be able to add sf pudding, drink tomato soup, and drink orange juice. To me it was telling me I could have a full diner. LOL. Anyways, doing ok, felt good to have a little something thicker in that pouch today. I am getting more gas with it thought, lot's of burping. Anyways, doing great. Back to work next week. Hope I am ready, get tired in the afternoons. Other than that, things are great. lost a total of 22 lbs so far. Decided to not weigh myself but 2 times a week. Don't want to get frustrated. Take care and hugs to all.

Post op visit
Feb 16, 2008
I am so excited. I was down 14 lbs. since my surgery. I can't get over this. I feel so blessed. I am feeling well, have developed low iron issues, they gave me over the counter meds for that. I am hoping that will help my weakness feeling. I am feeling very well other than that. They took out the drain yesterday, that felt better. My hubby is so supportive I am so excited that he is. He keeps taking pictures of me, wants to make his own album. Anyways, just wanted to let all of you wonderful supportive friends how Iam doing. Thank you for your support and for your friendship. Your now looser friend TeresaDay 5
Feb 12, 2008
Ok, here it is day 5 and I am doing ok for the most part. I am unable to drink the water, flavored or plain without a lot of discomfort. That concerns me. I am able to do the pop cicles, jello (even though jello leaves a very odd taste in the mouth) and the chicken broth. I know that each day is better than the last and that I have to remember that.I am also having a hard time sleeping at night. Whats up with that.TODAY'S THE DAY!
Feb 07, 2008
Well todays the day! It is 4:30 in the am. I have to be at the hospital by 5:30am. I am so nervous that I am getting nausea, and I have a headache. I think the headache is from not much sleep and I didn't eat much yesterday, or should I say drink much. Oh well, it will be over soon. Until I am back from the hospital, everyone take care and good luck to those of you that are going in while I am in there. See you on the loosers side! Teresa
