August 10th was my anniversary date.  I am at 189.5 today and going on over a gallon of "miracle water" today  which I hope will flush out a bit more.  I started out at 252 (my highest) so I believe that puts me at a total loss of  63 pounds.  I am going to see my nutrition/diet advisor tomorrow to hopefully get some extra motivation.  I am wearing some 14's now and have started buying my t-shirts in Large.  I also bought two new bras that are both 36C.  It is awesome to be able to buy clothes that come from the normal side of the store.  Suprising things I have noticed include:  my chest is no longer part of the table that catches food, my socks don't leave lines around my ankles, I can fit into teenage type necklaces, I can reach both hands behind my butt and touch them together (at the top AND bottom)...and lastly, the thiry two stairs in my townhouse don't leave me dying for air.  Time for some new undies too...mine are falling off!

Okay, so official weight-in tomorrow at Hammons Heart with Amy.  I'm ready to whip out the muscle!

I am going in for my 3rd fill tomorrow.  My weight loss has been a slow progress but very nice to not have to diet or to worry about every bite.  I could be doing better on protein and water...I am getting married on April 28th so upping the bar a bit with this fill.  Today I started no carbs for two weeks to remind my body what it is like to not be addicted...then I am going to do better on veggies and healthy meats.  I have found it is so much easier to eat cheese enchiladas then to force down chicken bits.  Chips/salsa are much too easy to eat as well.  I am at 204.5 today (3/17/08).  My highest was 252.5.  so 48 pounds gone and fiting into all my size 16 pants.  Also soooo close to the one-ders.

Sometimes my port hurts.  Not bad, just sore and feels like it is trying to "get out".  I call it my little alien!  I can feel my rib bones again and it hurts to sit on my butt bone on a hard floor.  It has been at least 7-8 years since I was below 200.  So this is the week!!!!  It is going to happen!

Goal 140!

I am doing well after surgery.  I had my gall bladder taken at the same time so guess I got two for the price of one.   My surgery went so much better than I had hoped.  I had heard such horror stories.  I was in at 7 am and released before noon.  My first day at home was easy but the next couple I stayed sick to my tummy.  I stopped the pain meds by the 2nd night.  It just made me too dizzy, but feeling better today.  Some soreness still and back ache.

I reached my highest weight ever in May 07 at 251.5 since then I dropped down to about 243 and then 238.5 post op.  I was 229.5 going in to surgery and 224 now.  It is exciting to KNOW this is the last diet I will ever be on!

I have my follow up appt. with Dr. Edwards tomorrow morning.  I hope he says everything is well.
