 Ok I am not happy with how much I have been losing lately. I need to get myself under control. I am bad about protein. It is hard to find good tasting items that contain protein. Protein shakes are gross and bars I can't stand. I try to put alot of meat and cheese in my diet that are high in protein, but I don't think it is cutting it. I decided to keep a food journal and maybe that will help.  I am going to start on the hunt for some type of protein that I can stand. I have been bad about taking my vitamins. Taking them are like a meal alone. I just need to get on track and get back. I am drinking my water so at least that is one thing that I am doing right. I have lost 91 pounds so far. 30 before surgery and 61 after. Not too bad. Ok I am done venting.

 My father just passed away on 09/25/09. I am so glad I had this surgery. I would have and still would be eating my life away. I lost another 30 pounds from my last Doctor visit. I am at a stall right now but I hope it starts moving soon.

It was so good to go to the Bariatric support meeting last night. To hear that others have the same concerns that I do made me feel like I am not the only person out there. There are others like me. I am not alone. I am so lucky to have the support of others. I am at a stall now. I am going to up my protein in take and get a little more exercise in and see what happens from there. I think the best thing to do is find a support friend. I have a couple and it is a comfort that is for sure. It is so nice to have friends that are 2 years, 1 year and just beginning out from their surgery. I am under a lot of stress, so I hope that does not add back on the pounds. I am trying my hardest to stay away from food. I am leaning more on the Lord and less on the food. It is hard because I am a stress eater. I would already have a bag of chips, a tub of chip dip and 4-5 cans of pop away.
I did have some ice cream last night but it was sugar free/fat free. It was delicious! I crave fresh pineapple so at least it is some thing I can eat. I know it is going to take time to understand and cope with my old eating habits but I know one thing for sure. I am not going back to 305 pounds!!!!!

10 more pounds.

Went to the doctors yesterday. I am down 10 more pounds. What a great feeling.

After 5 long years, I did not have to watch my family ride rides. I rode all the roller coasters I wanted to!!!!!! I love it. I almost cried when I got on the ride and could buckel and even had enough room to rome. I can't beleive how good that felt. Not only that but I got a new outfit to go to Cedar Point and it was a 14/16. I started at a size 28. Now I am fitting into 18, 16. I am so happy. I just want to give Dr. Dan a big hug and thank him for helping me reclaim my life. Not only did I ride rides but I walked all day and felt great.

LIFE IS GOOD!!!  I FEEL GREAT. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO HAVE THIS DONE. I WON'T LIE THAT IT SUCKS WHEN EVERYONE IS EATING ICE CREAM AND JUNK FOOD, BUT ALL I THINK OF IS I AM GETTING HEALTHY AND THIN.

Today is a rough day. I throw up my lunch. I guess I either eat it too fast or it did not agree with my stomach. I have not weighted myself in one week so I go to the doctor's tomorrow so I will have to see.  I started exercising this week. I am not up to what I did before surgery but I know I will get there. 5 weeks out from surgery and I would say that I am blessed.

I am feeling great. Everyday is a better day. I thank Dr. Dan and the Bariatric Center fot the  new chance at a better life. I have no complaints. I need to get on that protein a little better. They have the best protein bars at Smoothy King. I hope that I can just keep this going.  

 The surgery went great. I feel fine. I actually got to go home the day after surgery because I was doing so well. Still hard to get all the water in but I am trying my hardest. I have lost 22 pounds total now. I can't wait till I am under 200!!! That is my next goal.
