Now that I have lost almost 50 pounds I have a few wow moments to reflect on..

I have gone down a pants size
I bought XL shirts
I have gone down 2 bra sizes
I sat comfortably in a movie theather seat.
I actually enjoyed trying on cloths at the store.


I am more that 25% of the way to my goal.
WooHoo...

Ugh, last night was awful. For lunch I had about 3 oz of ground beef with 2/3 a slice of chedder cheese. I felt fine after lunch. But then around 6:30 I felt so full and had pressure from chest to waist. I tried hard to not get sick, but eventually I just needed to vomit. I also had a severe headache which got worse when ever I tried to move. This had to be the worst I have felt so far. I did feel better after I got sick.

Not sure if it was the lunch or a migraine but I don't want to feel like that again.

Tomorrow I have my stage 3 class then I can start moving away from puree. Happy but kind of nervous at the same time.

Sunday I tried my old friend decaf coffe for the first time after surgery. I usually take it with 3 sweet and low and non-dairy creamer. Well all I could taste was the chemicals in the non dairy creamer. YUCK. Yesterday I tried again but used my simplysmart skin milk instead. Better but still not that great. I might try it with fat free cream but I might just give it up and drink decaf tea.


3 weeks and down 20 pounds. Went to the inlaws this week end and both my mother and shis in law mentioned to my hubby how good I looked and that they could really tell that I have lost weight.

Wow, it's been 13 days since my surgery and I have lost 18 lbs. It has been over a year since I weighed this. I have started puree but not having 3 meals a day yet. I am still struggling to get in 64 oz of liquid. I'm doing it but it takes ALL day and some forcing. Today I am hoping to add a second "meal". I wonder how much I need to lose before I really notice it?

Today I am 10 days post op. I had my 10 day nutrition class and am now allowed to start trying puree. My first meal was fat free cottage cheese and no sugar added apple sauce (1/4 cup total). So far no issues. I do need to make sure I get in all of my 64 oz of water. The nurse said I look dry but don't need an IV yet. (let not get to that point).

I can't believe I am having surgery in one week. I am ready for my life to begin. I have been overweight my whole life. I can't wait to be able to have fun with my daughter. Climb mountains, go horseback riding, kyacking and hiking.

I went to the gym today. I walked 25 minutes on the treadmill. I haven't been in a while. It's so easy to not go.
