Hitting New Milestones and Someone Special!
Apr 03, 2008
So many wonderful things happening right now I am walking on clouds, not only because of the milestones above but mostly because I have met someone special and he thinks I'm special too. We both think we could do something long term and this is great for me since I have never been married. I have waited a long time to find someone for me, thought I did before but it wasn't meant to be. I truly hope this guy turns out to be Mr. Right. Wish me all the luck.

End of Frustration!
Jan 27, 2008
So frustration has met with me twice so far on this short journey since surgery. I have stalled twice, once in my second week and once in my fifth week. I knew things would eventually move on but it is very frustrating when your in your soft foods weeks and things just aren't staying down. So if I'm not able to eat much and I'm not too far out from surgery you would think the scale would be moving - NOT!!!! The scale was staying exactly where it was. I just kept the faith and kept trying, my Dr. gave me an rx for Carafate - to soothe the stomach - and it helped a bit. I have been getting more food down and finally the scale has budged! In fact in the last 2 days it's gone down 3.5 lbs. Hoorah!!!! So life goes on and things do get better. It was very psychological and I had to, everyday, confirm with myself that things will move along eventually and you will not be stuck forever. I took my mind off things and kept busy.
I also now have a gym membership to 24 Hour Fitness, thanks to my new angel - My SISTER!!! She has helped not only to join but to motivate me to keep on moving! So yesterday I worked out for 35 minutes and did 80 crunches - a good start for the gym I'd say!
All in all, I am still 100% satisfied with my decision to have surgery and can't wait for more change. By the way, I have lost another 10 lbs. since the last pics so more pics will be on the way!
1st day back at work

Down 24.5 lbs. from surgery
Jan 05, 2008
So I went to the movies tonight with my sis (saw The Waterhorse - cute movie). I took sugar free Hersheys bars with me, they are mini's. I ate 3 of those and was pretty damn satisfying that I could actually have some chocolate. I ate 3 little pieces of popcorn after sucking on them and chewing them to death, was not really worth it anyways. Popcorn is only good if you can gobble it, lol. The great news is that I sat in a movie theater seat without having to squeeze into it, those days are GONE!!!! That felt great, I didn't even notice it until I sat there for about 5 minutes. Wonderful things happening, besides all the nonsense my Human Resources is putting me through for paid time off, all is going great. I also have new vitamins that I am getting along with much better - . So back to work Monday, same day I start soft foods, so hope all goes well!
Stalling
Jan 01, 2008
Well I have been at the same weight for 6 days now, it's a little frustrating but I am not too worried about it. I know I will not be stuck here for long. So yesterday I did a small 10 min. workout along with some house cleaning and today, I did the 10 min. workout and also took my pup for a 10 min. walk. I hope this will help budge the weight in a downward direction again. I plan on doing another 10 min. workout later today as well. I am working hard at getting my protein in but is difficult when you can't eat much and your not hungry. But I will keep trying. I am definitely satisfied that I made the right decision and want the changes to come faster, however I know complete satisfaction is just down the road and I will enjoy the journey as I go. I am already fitting into some older clothes much better and I did take my measurements and compared them to measurements I took in June and have lost 2 inches off my chest and hips and 4 off my waist! Yahoo! Next New Year's Eve I think will call for a huge celebration!
