4 Months Out - I AM NOT the Biggest Loser

I have tried not to be sooo hard on myself. Why?? Because I know the reasons why my weight loss has stalled and I haven't done anything to fix it.   I try to remember that I have already lost 50% of my EW; good thing. But for some reason I was just for sure thinking I would be down 60 lbs in 4 months. NOT. Im only down 43. I don't exercise, I don't meet my protein and fluid goals, I drink my calories AND I graze around my TOM. I think this its self-sabotage because I have failed so many times

Clothes & Cakes

I've been losing SLOWLY...I know, I know, I need to up my exercise, DEFINITELY. I also need to watch my carbs and protein.   Since I have been eating "regular" foods it seems I have had this revelation that I can just eat ANYTHING :confused:...not the case.   I had a bbq at my house on Mother's Day and since my birthday was the next day, they bought me a cake:sad0:   My kryptonite...sheet cake. So I ate a very small square probably about an inch and it was oh so delectable....and addictive

Before I Move On

I did not want to post. I lost about 3 lbs total in the last two weeks. The scale was playing with my emotions...DEARLY. I know stalls happen. I was prepared for it. More at the 3-week mark, but from week 6 to 7 and A HALF. Come on! My TOM came and I realized I was also retaining water. It ended today and the scale went down. I still feel like those old habits creep up when PMS sets in. I wanted everything I hadn't thought about in weeks. I gave in a few times too.   Aside from that...I need

What Happened to Liquids In - Liquids Out?

Seems like there is NO WAY I'm going to the bathroom (from either end) enough to compensate for the fluids I'm taking in. Maybe I'm holding on to them...not good. Maybe I'm not getting enough.   I'm down 25 lbs as of 5 weeks out. I hope next month I will see at least 3 lbs a week. My clothes sizes are moving but obviously my clothes were just too freaking tight to begin with. Now everything is just baggy. Spring is here and summer is a stone's throw away so I'm not buying any pants for now jus

Tastebuds...???

I'm now 4 weeks and a day out! I never thought I would REALLY get this far; having the surgery, surviving and getting to the 4 week mark. BUT I'M HERE!   I'm down 21 lbs; which I can not believe. I got my TOM last week and then when she left I lost about 7 lbs!   I haven't been having any cravings or like when I used to "smell" things I HAD to have it...Not anymore. But I do notice that when I'm eating something if I chew it TOO much it starts to taste bad, or my body or brain is saying "yo

Incisions, Accidents & TOM - OH MY!

SO I'm officially on week 3. YEAH! Not really. This has been one heck of a week. I only lost about 3.8 (yes point 8) pounds this week as opposed to 5 each of the previous two weeks. So I automatically assumed it was A STALL! But along comes TOM and since I hadn't seen TOM since January, I was certain I would be retaining something. But the awesome thing is I didn't gain 5-7 lbs like I normally do and I didn't even know it was coming I didn't have any insane cravings at all. Hopefully the scale w

2 Whole Weeks!

Who da thunk it! It feels like I've had this sleeve FOREVER.   Im not hungry at all, but I have this strange urge to see "what" I can eat. I've licked spoons people. I licked a mashed potato spoon, a chili spoon, a tunafish fork (LOL) and I nibbled a chicken nugget. I dunno why I feel the need. I haven't gotten sick and I was incredibly full afterward, but I just feel like the diet is so boring at this stage and time is ticking S-L-O-W-L-Y.   Im not supposed to be on mushies and I'm really

One Week Out

OK. :sneaky2: It's been a week. I'm not sure if I'm getting in all my fluids. Should I just get one big cup and measure it out because I sip away and it seems that I haven't put a dent in my intake.   Other than that; I woke up ALMOST sleeping on my tummy, so I'm not in so much pain. Just have to hold on to something when I sneeze or cough hard.   Life at home is a doozy! My daughter wanted Subway. I complied. One night my boyfriend bought home fried chicken and fries, I sipped broth (so h

I'm Sleeved

Finally, it's done. I was sleeved on Monday morning. I went first of my group. Thanks to he versed I wasnt nervous at all. I got to the room and I remember my legs being wrapped and the anesthesiologist trying to get an IV in. Around the 5 time he got it. I told him if I weren't under the influence I would be PRETTY mad at him.   After surgery I got back to my room and slept on and off then I woke up and FELT GREAT. I got up and walked around and all and I was feeling so good it was SCARY.  

I Made it to Mexicali!

You guys were not kidding when they say you get whisked off when you get to Hospital Almater. There were three of us and we were done in a little over an hour.   I just had my "last supper" and am trying to keep calm in my room. I would love to take the happy pill RIGHT NOW, but I'm trying to wait for it to get a little later so I don't wake up in the middle of the night and start pacing.   I met a group of lovely people and since I am alone it is great to have SOMEONE here that I know.  

It's Time

:biggrin0:   I can remember them telling me it was time to have my first daughter...they just said IT'S TIME.   Now It's My Time. Im on my way to San Diego in 4 hours and then on to Mexicali. I've been so anxious; but not nervous at all.   Now I'm a little nervous, but I'm sure once I get there I will be fine.
