I'm finally at my DL weight...You know weight we put on our DL hoping to make us feel better. LOL!  Anyhow, only 16 more pounds till onederland! I'm feeling great.

Yeah, I hit the 50 pound mark. I can't believe it and so excited.  I'm celebrating with some greek yogurt. 

Goodbye 230s!

I'm in the 220s, yeah. Haven't seen that in a long time. It is great to see the scale slowly go down. 

WooHoo! It has been a month post op and I'm feeling a little better today.  I'm so excited about my results and my time on this journey. It hasn't been easy the last few weeks emotionally, but I'm getting through.

I've lost 15 pounds since surgery and 19.75 inches! Wow! Looka those inches!

I began to feel disappointed about the slow weightloss compared to others but in the back of my mind, I knew I was losing inches because my clothes kept getting bigger and the smaller ones I could fit into and they started to get bigger.

I'm doing better besides some serious constipation, but overall I'm enjoying the ride.

Thanks to all my OH friends! I appreciate the love and support.

I had my first post op today. The visit went well. I'm down 10 pounds and counting.  All is well and I'm so excited that I can now transition to soft foods. Yippee!!

I'm ready for the new adventure in trying new foods.

Tomorrow will be 1 week Post Op. I'm doing well and having minimal pain. I'm enjoying getting to know my new stomach. I'm walking and enjoying my time being physical. 

Now, that I look back, I'm so glad for the journey before surgery, even though at the time I hated the process and the struggles. I'm definitely going to enjoy this new journey.

It is less than a week to go and I'm getting so tired of this liquid diet, as well as this pre-op diet, but I struggle through. I'm so ready to start the next phase after the surgery. The anticipation is killing me now that I am so close....as you all know, it has been a long struggle to get here. I'm ready!  A few more weary days and my new beginning starts.

Pray I keep it together these next couple of days!  I'm not a patient person, but God keeps testing me. 

WooHoo! I'm finally under 250 again. I am working on never seeing that number again!

It has been a struggle the last few weeks with gaining and losing the same 3 pounds. I'm finally below 250 and can't wait to get under 240. 10 pounds out a time and 200 here I come.

I had my pre-op visit with my surgeon yesterday and my pre-op physical today. All is well and my BP was 120/74. Woohoo! I haven't seen that number in a while. Two weeks from Monday is the date. I can't wait! I'm so excited. This has been a long time coming.

I thank all my friends on OH for their support.  I look forward to another great journey after my surgery.

 

Well, another day closer.  My surgery date has been scheduled for March 19th.  I'm so excited and can't wait. I've been losing weight and now I'm at a stand still.  My clothes are fitting better and I'm getting into some pieces I haven't in over a year, but the weight has stopped.  I feel like a slave to the scale to make sure that I'm on the right path. I know that I need to work out more and longer and I'm trying to increase the workouts without injuring myself. 

Wow, this is so mental. I'm dealing with making sure my bad habits are broken and remember that this is a life long tool.  In addition, some friends are being non-supportive and it hurts.  I don't understand why they believe this is not a life saving surgery and that I can do this on my own.  Now that I've lost 20 pounds, they think that I can continue to do the same and I shouldn't have the surgery.  I know I will be ok, but it still hurts.

I'm getting concerned about the 2 week liquid diet.  I'm struggling with the current 1000 cal with one meal, especially trying to find the right balance to keep me satiated.  Wow, lots of things going through my head and I working on them the appropriate way without reverting to food. 

One Day at a time!
