Has it really been 9 months already?  Time has flown.  I'm down 104lbs and in a size 12.   I cannot believe how far I've come in such a short time.  Nine months ago I could barely walk up a flight of stairs and now I'm coaching my daughter's soccer team.  Life is awesome!!!

Well, its been 8 weeks and I'm down 39lbs... life is good.  I now officially have less than 100 to go before reaching goal.  Exercise has been a huge issue for me but I joined a gym today.  I'm excited about the gym and really think that I will go several times a week.  So far this journey has been great and I have absolutely no regrets.

It's been 5 weeks and I'm down an amazing 30lbs.  I can hardly believe it.  Now if I could only drink enough water.  I never realized how hard it is to drink 64 oz of liquid.  I've done really good sticking to just water or crystal light (haven't had a soda since before surgery).  It just seems like I sip, sip, sip all day and never seem to get even close to 64 oz.  Right now I'm getting about 40-48 oz a day but I know that's not enough.  I'll just keep plugging away and surely it will happen eventually.

Well, I had a very uncooperative 4 year old yesterday morning which meant I was running around like crazy.  I didn't eat anything before leaving for work but I did take all my pills/supplements... BAD idea!!  I usually take my pills over an hour or so but was in a hurry and not paying attention and took them all in about a 5 minute span.  It took about 20 minutes and then MAJOR pain in my chest.  It felt like a bulldozer was ramming into my sternum.  After 2 1/2 hours and several episodes of throwing up, I got it all out and the pain went away.  I will never do that again!!!

Well, it's been a little less than 3 weeks and I'm down 24 lbs.  I'm really shocked at how well everything is going.  I have tons of energy and haven't had any problems (i.e. dumping etc.)  I tried some solid food this weekend for the first time with no problems.  Crackers are my current favorite.  Of course, 3 at a time is my limit.  It's so weird to eat 3 and be completely satisfied when only a month ago it would have been half the box.  This is definitely an exciting journey.
