Wow, this has been really hard. Easy way out my ass! Still drinking my protein shakes and eating low carb!! 11 day until my tropical vacation. I am so excited to finally not be ashamed of my body and head over to the pool the first chance i get. I don't have to worry about fitting in the seat on the airplane. I feel great. Every single day I get compliments on how great I look. It's such a change. To everyone who is thinking about getting the band... it's def. hard work but totally worth it!

I had my gallbladder removed last tuesday, I'm still feeling a little sore. I have been throwing everything up so i lost 7 more lbs. I'm hoping it's from the surgery and that my band doesn't have to be emptied. I have an appt. in 2 days so i'll discuss this with the doc then. But anyways so far so good. I really want to lose 18 more lbs before the end of sept. (my cruise) So we'll see how that goes. I'll just keep doing what i'm doing and hope for the best.

That's what my doctor said to me when I went to talk to him about getting my gallbladder removed. I was ecstatic! I said "how could i have already done that, it's only been 6 months"! I've lost 80lbs in 6 months and i'm feeling pretty good about it! I'm still getting used to my body though, i still always feel like i'm the fattest one in the room. And i'm constantly asking friends and family ... am I as big as that person or smaller? They get kind of annoyed. But on another note I'm having my gallbladder removed on June 30 and hopefully it will by laproscopically. I'm not really afraid, and i'm not mad at the fact i'll be outta work for a few weeks!!!


80lbs!!! I can't believe it!!!!

It feels great to look down at the scale and keep seeing it get lower and lower. And the compliments don't hurt either .  I never would have thought that I could lose 77lbs in under 6 months, i'm really proud of myself. But I did find out some pretty bad news... I have to get my gallbladder out. I'm not sure when, I have a meeting on thursday to talk to my doctor about when. I'm pretty bummed, I don't want another scar. The only good part is I get almost half the summer off. We'll see how it goes.

I was suppose to go to cancun on the 16th of this month, but since no one wants to get the swine flu (which i totally would have risked it) I'm going to Orlando instead (BORING)! I'm really upset by that... damn pigs. Anyways I'm 7lbs away from my initial weightloss goal which was to be at 230 before vacation, so i tried to set a more realistic goal of 240 which I've already reached and i'm so excited! It feels really weird to look at the scale and see the numbers in the 30's when just a few months ago I was over 300 lbs.  I've been trying really hard and not cheating at all... so i think i can get atleast 3lbs closer to my initial weightloss vacation goal before the 16th... 8 more days. We'll see!

Everything is going really good in the weightloss dept. I'm exactly 4 months out and i've lost 60lbs all from my band!!! I have 4lbs. to lose to hit my vacation goal by May 16 so I think i'm going to make it!! My 8 year relationship with the man is going pretty sucky... Everything I do now he blames on surgery... He says i'm mean to him because I don't care about him anymore because of surgery, I bitchy because of the surgery . I'm the same, I don't act any different and I don't know what to do.  

So my goal of being 230 before vacation isn't looking so hot. I may have to drop my goal just a little so that I don't get so frustrated and disappointed when/if I don't make it. I think i'll shoot for 240 that's 12 more Lbs. before May 16th I think that's doable! I was doing no carbs and all protein for a couple weeks and sure enough as soon as i stick a carb in my mouth I gained about 4 Lbs. So i just had my 3rd fill which was only .5 cc and so i've been on liquids for 3 days and when i start to eat again i'm gonna stick to the low carb again. On a good note i'm still down 53 lbs

I'm 2 days away from being 3 months post-op. This is the hardest thing i've ever done, but totally worth it! I've lost 46lbs which i'm happy about! I keep trying to ask my DOC if thats good or not if i'm where everyone else is at this point but  he won't tell me... he just keeps saying "just keep losing weight and exercise". So i don't know. I am having a hard time getting my butt in the gym! I work nights and i'm always tired, i know if i went to the gym i would lose even more weight it's just a matter of getting there. I'm 29lbs away from my vacation goal, CANCUN on May 16, lets see if i can do it!

Now this is something that i've known for a long time now... if you cut the carbs, you lose the weight. I was stuck and not losing crap after my first fill and i was getting very frustrated and eating more than i should have and so i decided to only eat protein with some cheese and very minimal veggies at times. Which meant cutting out my carbs. I'm eating the amount that i'm suppose to and i'm feeling full! On top of that since i've started to cut down on the carbs I started losing weight again. My next fill is in a week. And after that fill i'm going to add a llittle more carbs back into my diet but until then i'm going to continue this. And hope after this next fill i have some restriction! I'm now down 39lbs in 10 weeks.

I want to be 230 when I go to CANCUN!!!
