Week 19 Post Op...New Experiences...Laura Key

I took a mini-vacation this week with my husband. Went to Lake Navajo on the boarder of New Mexico and Colorado. How relaxing it was! I did not exercise this week -- I SLEPT! And with that being said....I still lost a pound. So now I am down 70lbs.

My jeans are loose again and I could not be happier.

I had some time to reflect on my journey and I have to say I am one happy woman. I really think I will be under 200 by the end of the year. :tongue:

Had a little scare this week. Two nights in a row I threw up in my sleep. Scared the HELL out of me! :thumbup: I almost choked! But I was out of town and had no reception on the cell so I had to kinda sleep upright to get myself back together. I know from another bandster that throwing up in your sleep is not a good thing, so I just tried to relax until I got back into town.

I thought I was stuck but if I was I am not now. While on the road we stopped at a little roadside BBQ place. I got pulled pork but within five minutes it was coming back up! It was the first time I have had that happen. It wasn't bad, just freaky. So hubby ended up having my dinner and I relaxed my tummy! (giggle) I think if something was stuck, it came up because after that I was back to normal.

When I returned I went to the doctor but since I was feeling fine they decided to not do an unfill. So this weekend I reverted to soft foods to let my tummy heal.

My hubby took a lot of footage of our trip and for once in my life, I did not mind being in front of the camera. What a WONDERFUL feeling! Our band photographer wants to take photos just of me because in the past I would not go to the photo shoots. (yes I am a singer)

I am feeling so skinny and sexy! Let's just say I am putting a little pep back in my love life. Ooohh La La!

I am gathering all my clothes that are too big and getting ready for a trip to the consignment store. I gotta finance my new wardrobe somehow!

I am doing it ya'll ..... DOING IT!

SORRY ABOUT YOUR BAD INCIDENT WHILE SLEEPING, BUT YOUR WEIGHT LOSS SOUNDS GREAT. kEEP IT UP!

This is soo awesome...rermember that old saying? "nothing tastes as good as losing wieght feels!" It's like a high...I'm down 50+...how have you handled the changes in clothing sizes? Can't afford new wardrobes every 20 lbs..any tips?

I feel your joy & so happy for you!

When was your surgery? Had to be about the same as mine. I am a May 28th bander. You are doing absolutely awesome. You must be really proud!!!

Thanks for the comments on my blog guys. I was banded May 21st, 2009. The clothes situation wasn't bad because I had so many different sizes already in my closet! (giggle) I had stuff I purchased years ago with tags still on it! So I did not have to do too much shopping. But now that I am out of that stuff I am thrift shopping and consignment shopping!
