NSV Love these!

Today I measured myself for the first time since surgery. It has been 4 weeks and I have lost 30 pounds, but the measurements shocked me!!! I had lost 4 inches in my waist, 3 inches from my chest, an inch from each ankle, 2 inches from each thigh, and 2 inches from each knee. I was worried I wasn't losing fast enough but then I see 17 inches gone from my body and I know that I am going the right way. Today I went to the gym and kind of over did it, but feel the urge to push myself. I know I am s

3 Weeks out

I had my first NSV today! Last night I went into my closet and tried on some of my size 24 pants that I haven't worn for 2 years. I knew that my size 26's were too big but never thought I was able to wear the 24's so soon. I wore them all day and even left the button done up all day. I feel great!!! On my surgery date I was 311 pounds. Now I am down to 289. I had a little bit of the stall I have heard everyone talking about and was worried, but have since realized that is okay. I am working out

2 weeks out..

Today I reached my 2 week mark since surgery. I feel pretty good. Saw my doctor last Friday and they released me to start puree foods. I have had slight issues with pain in my stomach when I don't grind the food up enough or when I eat meat, but for the most part I am doing okay. 2 days before surgery I weighed 311 pounds, I am now down to 293. From the start of my pre-op diet I am down 24 pounds. I feel really good about my weight loss so far, but am feeling ready to get this weight off. I have

4 days post Sleeve

Well I have a lot to tell all of you. Surgery happened on June 4th at 12:00. They took me early because of a cancellation. I was so nervous but by the time they gave me the happy juice I didn't seem to care. When I woke up from surgery I guess I had a lot of nausea(don't remember) and some pain, but bearable. When I got back to my room all I wanted to do was sleep. Over the next couple of hours I dosed off and on, then I remembered I needed to get up and move. I walked the whole first night it s

Surgery Tomorrow

Oh My Goodness...surgery is tomorrow!!! I am so ready to do this, yet I am still craving bread. People at work had to bring in donuts and eat them in front of me. I almost ripped it out of their hands and shoved them in my mouth. But I had restraint. I am ready for this change and the new lifestyle that lies within. I am strong and brave and am going to face this challenge head on with my chin held high. I am so happy I found this blog site, because being able to get these feelings out to people

3 Days to Go!

I am so ready to get this done!!!! Eight days on this clear liquid diet has got me grumpy! I am staring down people who are eating, and daring anyone to talk about food around me. It doesn't help that I am about to start my monthly probably on the day of surgery. On the positive side I have lost 11 pounds in 8 days of eating nothing. I say nothing because the protein shakes and clear liquids are not food. It is just enough to keep you hydrated and to keep you from dying. Dori has been swimming a

Getting Nervous but excited to start my new life!

I am starting to get nervous! My surgery is on June 4th and the time is ticking away. I have started the pre-op diet and all I can say is I am hungry and grumpy. I have even resorted to chewing up small bits of food and spitting it out.(I know this is sad) I am hoping this will get easier. I am 32 years old and have decided to make this change for me. I was staring at my 3 year old last October, putting her to sleep, when I realized, I want to be around to see her get married and have children a
