People Tell Me I Look So Small
Feb 02, 2008
It is surprising to me that people tell me now that I look so small. They ask me, "Did the doctor want you to lose so much weight?"
I am surprised at this, as I feel I need to lose another 52 pounds.
I wonder if we are really ever happy with our weight?
I NEVER want to get into the 200's again!!
I would like to get to 145 and not go over 150 EVER!
I love feeling better.

Saw Surgeon on Thursday, January 31, 2008
Feb 01, 2008
Saw my surgeon, I weighed 192.4 on their scales. He says I am doing great and will see me back on 9/24/08.
He set my goal weight at 173, however, I want to get to about 140, so we will see what I weigh when I go back to see him in September.
Eating is getting easier for me. I still can't eat huge portions like I use to, but food is tasting better. (most of it)
I have found I can eat sweets without dumping. Don't know that I am happy about that, but have found I am able to just eat a small amount and be satisfied with it, so that is good!!
I feel so much better now. Although I find I still feel "fat" and wonder if I always will??

Last Day of 2007
Dec 30, 2007
This is the last day of 2007. I have lost 64 pounds since my surgery. I am amazed. I wish more food tasted better to me. Hoping that will change in the new year.
Life After Surgery
Nov 16, 2007
Realized I haven't posted in a while now that I had the surgery on 9/24/07 realized I need to post some more!
I did really well right after the surgery. I have had some rough moments in the past few weeks. Realized I wasn't getting in enough food or liquids and have been trying to remedy that. It's hard when food doesn't taste right.
I love hearing from people, OMG, look at you, how much weight have you lost???
I am amazed that I can walk now without huffing and puffing even from the house to the van. That is a wonderful feeling. Walking now is totally invigorating (sp???) I was even able to dance in my living room last night with my 9 year old, yep, mamma still has the moves!
My biggest problem is getting enough protein in now. Meat just doesn't taste right (with the exceptions of a few things) and I just can't hold that much. I still have a protein drink on some days, and may have to have more than one.
Some days I am so tired I can't stand it and the back pain! OUCH!!!
Well, will update some more later. I go back to see my surgeon for my two month check up on 11/29.
