I am a day shy of 14 months out!  I haven't touched my laptop in 8 months!! Ahhh!!  I wish ObesityHelp.com was an app on my  cell!  Much  more convienent for me!  I currently fluctuate between 146-150 depending if I had drank soda and what time of the day it is haha!  I can honestly say this is the best decision I have ever made!!  Very rarely do I get sick or can't eat anything.  If that happens usually that is due to eating entirely too fast.  I guess I think I have to eat as fast as my bf haha! I don't deprive myself of anything I just have to do it in moderation!   lol  I look forward to reading more post and blogs soon!  Thank you to my surgeon who is amazing at what he does!  I have had absolutely NO complications, leaks, infections or anything of the sort! Good luck to everyone!!

 So I was seriously off track and finally getting back on slowly.  I weigh 167 and just started the gym two days ago and it feels great.  I had to go back to like 4 tablespoons per meal 5-6times a day to regulate myself again.  I feel better.  I guess I was over eating and not realizing it.  boo to that!  But I have 17 more pounds til my surgeons goal sooo almost there :)  

 I am 5 months and 2 days out.  I am FINALLY at 177 and maintaining!  That is a loss of 77 pounds!  My goal is 170 and the surgeon's goal is 150 BUT I am HAPPY!  I look AMAZING and feel better than ever!!  I have been rocking new clothes, getting lots of attention and I LOVE IT!!  I bought my first size 9 jeans two days ago!  Yeah so what they stretch but THEY FIT! haha!  Heels, jeans, and tight shirts were def NOT an option for me for years! I love all them now!!  I started hanging out with a GREAT guy who treats me like a queen and makes me feel beautiful and banging all the time!!  Can't go wrong with that! :) :)  Thank you to my surgeon for this wonderful tool!  :) :)

 So I haven't lost a ton of weight since my last post, but I have been stuck at 194.  I am not complaining as I haven't been under 200 in AGES!  Probably longer than I would like to admit to :).  I started drinking more water and using a tad of crystal light in my water bottle to give it a slight taste.  I dropped the last few pounds I think from not drinking as much of the vitamin water zero stuff.  It has good vitamins in it but a few carbs.  Probably not enough to make a difference.. but I drink more water than the vitamin water and I feel a little better.  The only calcium I like are the bariatric advantage (i think) lemon chewy bites.  Only 250mg of calcium citrate per chew but it makes me feel like I am eating candy even though its sugar free n my calcium lol!  Can't go wrong with that! :)  But I had 2 or 3 days where my pouch was angry and didn't let me anything but mashed potatoes with some corn or peas mixed in it.  Not the best choice, but I was happy to get something down besides water!  I also noticed that I have to boil my chicken and then back for a few minutes as opposed to just bake it.  If I boil it first, it tends to stay more moist for me and I don't feel sick.  
I still find it funny when I buy meat and come home and separate it into little sandwich baggies.  I buy the chicken breast strips instead of the chicken breast.  I separate 2 strips into each baggie.  When I cook them, I boil them, cut them up and either soak them up in bbq sauce and pop them in the toaster oven for a few and enjoy!  Or I will boil them, cut them up, and put some all purpose seasoning on them and enjoy!  When I buy country ribs, I only can put one in each baggie.  I boil it and cut it up and soak it in bbq sauce and pop it in the toaster oven for about 10 mins and enjoy!  I also found that at Wal-mart they have single servings of vegatables.  Thank goodness!  I was so worried about how the heck I was going to do with these cans lol.  I was super glad to have veggies added back into my food!  Only thing that isn't 100% healthy for me is the white cheddar popcorn that I love so much.  I have to watch how much I eat because I don't get full off of it.  I think its about the only thing I feel like I have a bottomless pouch with.  So as long as I keep it in moderation, I am okay.  That is how I feel about it.  
Well I posted more than I intended to!  Sorry for rambling :)

 I forget to post!  I am now at 198.  I have lost over half my excess body weight so my weight loss is slow now!  Sucks but it is worth it :)  I am happy!  lost a total of 56 pounds so far!  yay! :)

 So these last few weeks I haven't lost a ton of weight like I had hoped for but I have been working out my muscles more so maybe it's just my muscles weighing more :)  I really should start taping myself so I don't feel so down about the scale not moving as much!.  I am down a total of 51 pounds since the start of my journey, 40 of it since surgery :)  I am starting to like the new me even though I don't feel much different :)  
4 pounds to 199!!

 Soo I am 5 weeks out and am down 30 from surgery!  add the 11 pre op for a total of 41 lbs!  YAY!!  I am so happy!  14 lbs til I am in ONEderland!!!  

 So I am 4 weeks and 1 day out!  I have lost 23 lbs since surgery and 11 in preop for a total of 34 lbs gone so far!  Exciting!!  Only way I can tell a difference is my underware and pants.  Undies are getting super loose and pants are getting to be to long!!  But I am okay with that! :)  

 So Tues will be 3 weeks out.  Only down 17 pounds so far.  I keep forgetting to drink and eat.. grrr!  Probably why I was big to begin with.  Was going to start the gym Monday but my car started acting up today :(  I can't win!  My sugar hasn't been lately either so that's good!  I am hoping everything pans out from here!  

 Woot woot!  I am now only considered obese!  yay!
