Hi all, I'm so sorry I've been away much longer then I thought. It was kinda bitter sweet coming on here and finding that in April I was down 57 lbs and now I'm now down 60? WTF! I am so struggling with this scale not moving. It's obvious that I've lost weight and people tell me how good I look but heck I went through all of this surgery for weight loss so slow the snails are passing me by! I eat about 4-6 oz per meal and I usually have 2oz of protein, 2 of fruit/veggie and 2 of a carb/starchy type food. I dont know what I'm doing wrong?  I do know my exercise is not where it should be because of my orthopedic issues but I am way more active then I was so it should be even?? UGH. Very frustrating. My next appt with the doctor is July 7th, I sure hope Ive lost more by then.  Love and miss you all!

Down 57 lbs and well on my way to hitting my goals! Next goal is 200lbs which is what my drivers license reads.  Can't wait!!!

Today I'm dealing with what I believe is a bad case of strep throat and probably an ear infection.  I go to the doctor this afternoon to find out for sure. 

For Lent I gave up the scale so I can only weigh on Sundays! It is oh so hard, much harder then I thought but I stuck with it this week and when I weighed in yesterday i had lost a little more then 4 pounds this.  I am thrilled with the weight loss so far and I hope it continues.  I start this week at the Arena club working with a personal trainer in a group fitness program with 10 of my co workers.  It will be for the next 6 weeks.  I'm hoping it keeps me going in the right direction. 

Hope everyone is doing well! Join me in the chant   "Come on Spring", "Come on Spring!!!" 

Today I had my one month post op a little late due to snow. Imagine that!  This is how I've done in the last year.

2/2009-  weight 286

1/5/2010   275  day of surgery

2/17/2010   250 

I so love my RNY!!!!!!  

Well it seems I'm slacking with my blog already.  Surgery was almost three weeks ago. The weight came off fast at first now it feels oh so slow but I know it will come. I think my body is hanging on because I just am not eating much of anything. I'm working on figuring out how to get more protein in and trying to be careful what I eat so I don't get sick but I seem to have a problem getting much of anything in at all. I understand there isn't much room to put things but even a swallow of my drink feels like I'm full. The biggest feeling is the fullness in my chest like I need to burp but can't. Sooo I stop putting things in and don't get enough to drink which is a big concern. I'm working on it but its slow.  Hope everyone else is doing well!!! Come on Spring!!

Went to the doctor, everything went really well!!!!  Officially down 14 pounds with clothes on 17 prior to dressing so officially successful to me. I get to start mushys. Prolly gonna be dinner and that will be re fried beans, salsa, cheese and LF cream cheese minus the tortilla chips!!!  

!!!UPDATED!!!!   I ate the above for dinner, probably needed some gr beef blended in for my taste but it was ok and VERY filling. Might have had a little more then my pouchy wanted but it didnt really bother me too much.

thanks for all the cheerleaders!

Well, to say the least the last 8 days have been a roller coaster! I have had mostly ups, a little downs and much in between.  I dropped into the 250's on my scale at home but we will see fully dressed what I am at the doctors. I weighed myself at home fully clothed and I was 261! Pretty fancy for starting this journey around 287, pre-op day of surgery was 275.8 and now this, so I am cruising.  I am so happy that today I can officially start the mushys and I am looking forward to dinner because I'm afraid that might be the only meal I can actually take a minute and enjoy!! I will check back in later with the official weight update.

Today was my last day of work before surgery. Off for the holiday and then the weekend in which I will need to put away all of my Christmas decorations! Yuk, I don't like doing that. Everything looks so pretty right now. Oh well. Pedicure with my Mom and lunch on Monday then off to the hospital on Tuesday. Have to be there by 10 and surgery is expected to be sometime between then and 12:30? Hugs to everyone. I'll be around over the weekend to chat.

Merry Christmas everyone. Have a blessed and healthy New Year.

Tomorrow is my pre-op appointment with Dr Fullum. I SO want this surgery and I am so very excited to start this new life but...I'm nervous about the "after life". I know the really hard part is the beginning and then I assume by reading everyones post that you get used to the diet and the mind games ease but I am oh so nervous. Will I tolerate the protein shakes, will I have problems, will I lose weight, will I cry over the loss of my favorite foods.  I am trying to think of my "favorite foods" in a bad way now, like they are what got me where I am today. I have lots of friends at work who have had the procedure and they are doing great and I have you all so there is hope but I still can't help but worry.  I so want this to be over!
