I am 5 months out and down 62lbs. I have another 45 before I hit GOAL. I went doen from a size 24 to 16 and I feel great, it is hard work to eat the right things. I have falen into temptation several times, but I try my hardest to stay focused. I plan to upload new pictures when i go visit my man in prison april 3, I am excited because he has yet to see me after surgery, the last time he saw me I was a month a way from surgery.

I am about 15 weeks out and I am don 58lbs. I am loosing slowly and I have hit several plateus. I have been getting off track alot, I am trying my best to stay in line, but it is very hard. I need to loose another 40lbs. I went from a size 24 to a 14 w, which is great.  I still eat in small portions, but I eat a lot of the wrong things. I have to look into joining a support group. I don't want to damage this great tool. I have not seen my boyfriend in prison since a month before surgery and I am going up there in April I want to loose at least 10lbs by April 4. I bought me an elliptical machine today I am going to work out on it for an hour every day and i think i am going to get me one o those ab chairs. I know I am not loosing as fast as others because I do not get enough excersize in. I don't want to join the gym because it will be a waste of money since I am a single mother of three and I rarely could find the time or baby sitter, at least with my machines I could work out from home. I want my boyfriend to have a hard time recognizing me in the crowd of visitors, I love him so much and I know he will be so happy to see the new me. Wish me luck...

The scale has only moved back one pound, I guess I hit my first plateu. For Thanksgiving I was able to eat a few spoonfull of stuffing, a few strands of green bean and a couple pieces of dark turkey. I tried ham and it went down hard, so I left it alone. Since then I have been able to tolerate soft veggies, boiled shrimp, string cheese. For breakfst i am still doing a Protien shake about 10oz= 48grs of protein it takes me about 30 min to consume, for snack I will have a sf pudding or yogurt. For lunch usually a cottage cheese or a yogurt and string cheese. For dinner I am doing stemed veggie and tilapia. I havent been able to stomach tuna, eggs, deli meats that is pretty much all I have tried, Oh yea I tried Chilli and I ate about 4 spoonfulls and I was full, but it was mixed in with the inside of a baked potato. One more thing my tummy hated apple sause.  I can drink lots of vitamin water, but plain water can hurt my tummy sometimes.  I am weighing 234/ from 260 pre-2 week diet. This is the smallest I have been in at least 5 years.  i can't complain, justlooking forward to more weight loss.

I am sticking to my nutrition guide as much as I can, yesterday started my puree/blended  foods stage. I decided to make myself an egg salad using one egg two teaspoon of light mayo and two tablespoons of tuna. Ok first spoonful went down, second went down as well, third went down and instantly I felt like gagging and the pain in my stomach was horrid, I never threw it up but I did throw myself on the ground to cry for about two hours. Can I say Ouch... I won't be trying that again. I am having a hard time taking in all my protien I am barely taking in one 8 ounce shake in the time frame of about 8 hours ( horrible) if I try to take faster makes me gag. I bought whey protien six star from walmart and I make it with silk milk and I have been adding bannana and a spoon full of peanutbutter, taste great, but I still can't consume it all. I seem to tolerate yoplait light yogurt and jello sf pudding and everyones favorite sf Jello (not!) I did steal two pieces of chicken from my son last night I chewed it and chewed it and it went down excellent. Ok, I will keep updating as I progress I am now down 15lbs since 11/5/07 approx 6 days ago, I am so happy and looking forward for the rest of this weight off.....................

I had my surgery 11/5/2007.. I am still im some pain, but nothing drastic. My surgery was approx and hour long, I was in recovery for about 2 hours more or less, then I was released on tuesday at about 7:00 P.M.  Today i ve been sipping on water and vitamin water all day, in the morninf I had sf pudding about 2 spoonfulls. Mid afternoon I had about 12 sips of an eas protien drink (yuck)  and righ now I am having WHEY Protien shake I made with SOY milk and six pack whey protien from the ole Wally World. The tast is not so great but I will live. What I really don't dig is this drain, and the gasses, I had to run out and get some gas x. I havent had any pain killers since i got home, which is great, I fell a bit tired but overall I am great and glad everything turned out so far.

Tomorrow is the big day and I am having a million scenerios running through my mind, I will stay optimistc and joyful. I am not really nervous. I am excited and awaiting to see what life is like after tomorrow....
