5 months and counting

I am down to 182 this morning... My weight lost is slow but steady. Seems I stay the same weight for quite a while then drop a couple pounds. I still struggle with not being able to go to the bathroom very well. It could be 5 days before I go. Not the norm for me, I used to go every day. I don't like to have to take stuff to make me go, so its hard on me. I went shopping yesterday and was able to fit into a size large. Its still hard for me to not go for the xl size. I have no idea what size br

3 month weigh in (A little late because Doctor canceled visit)

This week is my 3 month visit and I am terrified he is going to tell me I am a failure and he can't help me any longer. (I think I have been watching my 600 pound weight lost show too much) anyway, I haven't lost all that much since my surgery and I wonder if its me or my sleeve. I'm nervous and I gained a pound since yesterday and can't really figure out why.... I wish I could talk to someone about how to control what the mind wants over what the stomach can have. I do not want to stretch my sl

Current weight and so on

So I was down to 191.4 and so excited about that! I was looking so forward to being under 190 I could almost taste it... But this past weekend (2/7/15) my sister had a baby shower for my oldest daughter in NC. This is my first grandchild and I just can't wait. Everyone was saying how skinny I was and I guess it went to my head. I was eating like a pig, I had so many M&M's it wasn't funny. and cake and dips and chips and everything I have stayed away from for 3 months... I came home and weigh

New years eve resolutions--and Christmas eating

Hello all Or anyone who might read my posts.... I have been struggling to lose weight even with the surgery. I tend to have stalls almost every week for weeks. I am 7 weeks out and so close to onederland its not funny. I can even taste it (no pun intended) I struggled pretty bad over the holidays, office parties and food and cookies and treats, OH MY! Thank god my sleeve does not like sweets too much so I have been throwing up a lot lately. A LOT! we went out to dinner for Christmas Eve and I en

Stalls stink! and so do periods :-)

So far since I had my surgery on Nov 10 2014 I have had 2 stalls. the first one came less then 2 weeks in and I was stalled at 210 for almost 2 weeks. I was so frustrated because I had mentioned I couldn't want to be below 210 and then BAM I stall at 210...now I am stalled at 207. I got as low as 206 but it crept back up to 207. But I also got my period today so I'm hoping that has something to do with it...Again I also said recently I can't wait to be under 200...and again BAM stall.... I need

I was so looking forward to being under 220. but not this time..So I started to reevaluated what I am eating (Drinking) and I know I was adding fruit to my shakes and thought, oh I better stop that!! so I did last night and today.... and then there was my little snacking I did yesterday on peanut butter pretzels.

One week before surgery

well here I am, just one week before my sleeve surgery. I can honestly say I am very excited to get this over with. I'm also nervous about the gas pain that everyone talks about and also just pain in general. I'm afraid of dumping...and what that feels like. but all in all I am excited to get this thing going. Now the shakes have been hard. I can do them but I am starving and with Halloween here and gone having candy in the house didn't help. So I have had a couple small pieces of candy but have

My first blog

I began my weight loss journey In August 19th when I went to my doctors because I wasn't feeling well and she weighed me in at 244. I asked her for diet pills and told her I was considering weight loss surgery. She didn't approve of either but did write me a script for Belviq. As of today's date I have lost 19.4 pounds since that visit. But I did start my weight lose journey as well. On Sept. 3rd I went to the seminar at the hospital I work for and where they will also be doing my surgery. It wa
