I can't believe it's been 18 months already since I've had surgery...  I am sitting between 179-185 right now. I know I could lose more but I've gotten into some bad habits lately.  I tolerate Reece's cups.. and I tolerate alot of them!  I am working on getting back into the program.  Protein forward, watching my intake.  I always get at least 100 oz of water a day, so that's not a problem.  I eat too many simple carbs and not enough protein.  I know that's my problem.  Well, the fact that being a full time student doesn't help the fact that simple carbs are abundant in my life either, :-) 

Well it is New Year's Eve, I am 182 lbs (yippee!), and ready for this year to be over!  Lately I have found it hard to take care of myself like I should.  Protein and vitamins have been the last thing on my mind, but I'm picking it back up (mainly because I've started getting dizzy upon standing again).  I have lost 138 lbs from my highest weight and 126 lbs from my presurgery weight.  I am excited about that.  I only have about 37 lbs to go from being at my 'ideal' weight. 145 is where I should be to have a normal BMI at 5'4" tall.  it's currently a slow process, but I'm taking it in stride.  I need to get my butt excercising but with school, 3 kids, and a bf ( I know, excuses, excuses) it's hard to focus on exercising....  I'm a work in progress.

I am 9 days from my surgiversary and I am currently at 200.4 lbs!!  I am ecstatic.  I can't wait to get those last few ounces off so I can say that I am in ONEDERLAND!  Of course I still have about 50 lbs to lose, but hey, it's one goal at a time baby!

Well, it's been an interesting couple of months.  I have officially began college. Therefore, my food hasn't been as big of a concern, neither has exercising.  So what do I get for all of that?  I weigh 206.  3 lbs down from the last time I posted.  That stinks. But hey, I recognize the problem and I am working on it as we speak.  I have roughly 1 month before my 1 year surgiversary and I want to be below 200 lbs by then.  I think I can lose 7 lbs in a month.  Wish me luck!

Well I am 9 months, 6 days post op and have officially lost 100 lbs since my pre op appt.  I weighed 309 then and 209 today,  YAY!!!!  Never thought this day would come.  Next goal is to get below 200 (only 10 lbs to do so) then 190, 180, you get the idea. 

...and today I weigh 218 lbs.  Only 38 lbs until I'm considered just 'overweight' and 68 lbs to go until I'm in a 'normal' weight range.  It gets easier to get off track the further out you get, let me tell you...  I didn't think we'd ever get the Easter candy out of the house!  I ate so much of it.  I have to struggle to want to eat what's best for me.  But I'm doing pretty well.  I am in size 20 and some 18's.  I never thought I'd be this small.  I remember weighing 209 lbs in 6th grade. And that's age 11-12.  My SON is 11 and weighs 81 lbs.  I can't believe I was that overweight!! I just realized that, right now.  An epiphany, if you will.  Well I have 9 lbs to lose and I will be there again.  The first time in15 years.  Can't wait.

I am 6 months post op.  I now weigh 226 lbs.  Weight loss has significantly slowed down.  I'm going to increase my workouts and protein.  I feel I have been pretty good lately about my protein but just dabbling in exercise.  I know that will be the key to getting the scale moving again.  I am feeling pretty good lately.  My clothes are falling off of me, it's time to get at least a couple of new things so I don't look frumpy.  I had to break down and buy new undies, I couldn't justify wearing my old ones any longer.  They were sagging and most unattractive. lol.  I started out in size 26/28 clothes, some 30's.  Right now I can fit into 20 and some 18's on top.  Still 22 ish on the bottom (smaller in some things).  I'm so excited.  I can't wait to be completely out of the 20's.

Well I am almost 5 1/2 months post op now and down 78 lbs.  I weigh 231 and have for the past 2 weeks.  I seem to not lose weight for 2-3 weeks then lose 8-10 lbs in one week.  Don't know how but that's the trend.  I am having depression issues as well as anger issues.  They seem to intensify during TOM of course but I know I should expect these emotions.  It would help if someone just understood what I am going through. 

Wow, it's been awhile since I've updated.  Today I weigh 250 lbs !!!  I can't believe I've lost 59 lbs since surgery! I've long since been accustomed to my new life.  I still find it hard to get enough protein in and to get all of my vitamins in each day.  It's still a work in progress.  I recently moved across the state and am trying to get acclaimated.  I will be joining a gym here in a couple of weeks so I can get that going for me.  I have some sagging skin already and stretch marks are showing their ugly faces.  Gotta up the cocoa butter...

Just wanted to update..  270.5 today.  Tomorrow I should be at least 270.0 or 269.5, I hope!  I haven't ate too much today so I feel good about today overall.  Still have problems getting all of my vitamins down and wish I had more of a variety of food, but it comes with the territory.  STILL need to get my but in gear and get in the gym!
