Shopping
Jan 18, 2009
I HATE shopping, always have as nothing ever fits right. But yesterday, I went shopping and for the first time in what seems like forever, I was able to actually find clothes that fit in "normal" sizes. I bought a good many shirts and sweaters in size Medium, which is unheard of for me. I'm more used to Extra-Large, which is pretty big when you're only 5'1" tall. Maybe, just maybe, this shopping thing might catch on with me.

5 Months Less 40 Lbs
Jun 11, 2008
I have to be the slowest loser in WLS history, but I don't care... I'm losing and that's something I wasn't doing before. I'm only down 40 lbs in 5 months, but I can see and feel the difference. I just got into the 160s and it feels good! I've posted updated comparison pictures, so I can remind myself that there is a difference, even if the scales only say a small amount... my self esteem says much more.
First Major Stall Over...
Apr 25, 2008
I had my first major stall that lasted a total of 19 days before losing an ounce, and now over the last 2 days, I've lost 2.1 lbs. Stalls stink, but I guess they do happen.
A new milestone...
Mar 28, 2008
As of today, I am below 180 lbs. 179.9 lbs, but still BELOW 180! I'm not loosing as fast as most, but at least I am loosing. It's been a long time since I weighed below 180 lbs, so life is good!
Two Month Post Op Appointment
Mar 21, 2008
I had my 2 month Post Op appointment with Dr. Moazzez on March 11th. I only lost 5 lbs. during the second month. I was disappointed, especially since I've been eating as I'm supposed to and taking all my vitamins and protein. I must admit I've not been getting all of my water in, so I do need to work on water.
At 10 weeks Post-Op on March 22nd, I've lost 25.3 lbs. While it may not sound like much, when I look at what I have to loose, I am nearly one-third of the way to my goal as I only need to loose 57.7 more lbs. I just have to keep remembering that while I'm loosing slowly, in the big scheme of things, I'm not doing that bad.
Took a ride on the COLD side...
Feb 17, 2008
It was freezing out today, but I really wanted to ride, so my husband and I went for a short ride to take my Sportser to the dealers for recall service. Man it was cold, but it felt good to ride after not riding for so long and with a little less weight. I can't wait until spring! I definitely am a warm weather rider.
Below 190!
Feb 13, 2008
Today I went below 190 lbs. Officially 189.9... I'm pretty excited!
One Month Post Op
Feb 08, 2008
I'm now one month post op and doing well. I've only lost 16 lbs, but believe it or not, this is the most I've ever lost during a month. I believe I'm probably considered a lightweight, so I'm trying not to get discouraged about not losing 30 or 40 pounds. Heck, I only need to loose 80 or so lbs any way.
I'm doing much better on getting in my protein supplements and working on the water. I'm not really hungry that often and when I am, I take a few bites and I'm full. I have my one month follow up with Dr. Moazzez on Monday, February 11th. I'm anxious to see how he thinks I'm doing.
Next month, hopefully it will be warmer and I'll be getting out for more exercise. At least that's my goal.
