Down from a 5x to a 1x from a pant size 30-32 to a 22-24 from 342 to 255~!!!  Woot Woot life is wonderful!

   Today is a good day, I am now at 287 lbs down 55 lbs and it feels great.  Yesterday I began doing Pilates and boy I stretched muscles that had forgotten they were called muscles.  Felt really good afterwards and not sore at all this morning.  Does that mean I did not do it right?  Next week I am going to start doing Buns of Steel so I can start toning up some of those muscles..  I look back at my pictures and although it's only 55lbs what a change!

Why is every wednesday like this.... has anyone else experienced this whether it be on wednesday or another day of the week but consistently....  I cannot keep anything down!  no matter what I each or not..... It's like my pouch is sensitive on wednesday.  I do not abuse it the rest of the week.  Basically, I eat the same thing that I know I can eat...... This morning I started by taking my vitamins and within one hour they were coming up... So I drank warm tea, and more tea... finally I had two pieces of shrimp and two teaspoons of mashed potatoes.....ok follow so far so good after about 1/2 hour of keeping that donw I had another two shrimps (med) and one two teaspons of mash potatoes....... within 1 hr I was giving it back..... I feel worn down and tired.... anyone can shed some light on this matter????  BTW, it could be just one bite of anything that I have eaten and kept down before.... 

Is it just me or do some of us RNY develop sensitivity to certain foods?  After my RNY I was able to eat eggs no problem, well now, far and inbetween will I be able to keep one down.  Beans, use to be able to have them, now 2 oz and they are stuck like chuck.... has this happened to anyone or am I just special like that? 

Ok I just have to warn others, about a week ago I bought that KY For Him & For Her.  Works nice, but does not go well with RNY.  It's now been about 8 hours and I am slowly beginning to be able to sip water, I'm sure I dont have to elaborate anymore.  Definitely not a charm pop!

And I have lost 34 lbs WOOT WOOT!!!

I hope that I got the tickler to work correctly.  Cannot believe that I have lost 29 lbs since November.  How exciting!!!!

I was unable to finish a 30 minute work out, did about 15 minutes.   Not bad considering I haven't done anything more than walk for over 10 years.  Feeling great !!!  Tomorrow I will try again. 

Well I am 18 days post op and feeling great.  I've lost 22lbs and one dress size!  I have been walking about 1 mile every other day.  Am eating puree and regular foods and am learning that the most important thing is to eat slow plus no more than 4 oz at a time.  I must however eat every 2 to 3 hours or I get these bad gas pains all over my back and chest area,  not talking about stuck feeling but gas pains.  The doctor says it will go away with time.  I have found that although puree goes down much better, food that has to be chewed keeps me full longer.  I have gotten that stuck feeling a few times usually it is if I am not paying attention and eat too fast.  Haven't vomited at all, thank you.  Taking all of my vitamins without any trouble.  Passing gas is a bit of a challenge for my husband, exit stage right.  LOL!!!  I was told to boil califlower with a bit of salt, pepper and butter.  Then smash it and it taste just like mash potatoes, they were right!  It taste great.  There is one side effect, gas.... my husband has banded califlower from the menu!  LOL!!  2010 will be full of new tastes, new habits, new clothing, excercise and alot of loving!!!!!  Hope everyone has a great new year!

I want to wish all my friends and those out there on OH a very Merry Xmas and a safe and Happy New Year!  Happy Holidays may ur days be filled with family and love, hopefully some peace as well, during family gatherings is's a bit hard to come by.
