Weight loss this last month was slow. Luckily I lost 4 lbs last week. Hopefully the stall is over.
-
Down 125lbs as of today. I am feeling a lot better after my appendectomy. The last part of my incision is finally closed! I donated three more pairs of dress slacks after realizing that they were 20/22 and I am now a size 16! Goodbye saggy baggies!
-
Down 120lbs!! Woot woot. Still recovering from my Appendectomy but the weight has just fallen off the last week.

So, I didn't have A UTI. My Appendix Ruptured and I had Emergency Surgery on Thursday night. My Gastric Sleeve Surgeon Dr. Sasse did my appendix and abscess removal. I was so relieved that he stepped right up an said he would do my surgery since I have such confidence in his ability. I feel so much better. The situation was just so weird since I have no fever or throwing up at all. I just have the urge to use the restroom and abdominal pain. I am doing really well Post Op. I am hoping I will be able to go home tomorrow. I have to postpone my Disneyland trip next week. I am just going to take my time to recover from this. One more bummer is that they did an ultra sound on my gallbladder at the ER when they were trying to diagnose me and I have gallstones. So I will probably have to have that out at some time too. I am just trying not to let self be overwhelmed. So grateful that I called Dr. Sasse and went back to the ER when I did.

Doped up on Lortab. I have the UTI from HELL. I can't wait to feel better.

So, I am back in school studying for my AA in Graphic Design. I will finish up next June. I am very excited! Working Full time and taking two classes every 5 weeks would not be possible without WLS. I have regained my self confidence and can do attitude. It is so nice not to feel defeated all of the time!
-
I DID IT! I hit the half way mark! 100lbs since 2/3/14! *Happy Dance!*
-
Looks like my two week stall has ended with a 3lb weight loss over night. I now weigh the weight listed on my Drivers License.

The runway model thing made me laugh. Although that is kind of sad, to have to be that tall and skinny at the same time is just as bad as being obese. The majority of society doesn't look at it that way though. We all know that the majority of them have to work superhard to stay that thin.
Congrats on the loss of a whole runway model!

Those recipes both sound excellent! I will give them a try. I don't like it when my sleeve is upset!

Last night I had the worst case of the slimies ever. My tummy was sore until this morning. All from too dry chicken
-
Yeah thats why if the kids want chicken I won't eat it unless it's is very moist!!! I made Chicken Marsala last night and OMG it was so good, google Easy make Chicken marsala, and I believe the website was cook.com and I put it over quinoa, which is really good for you too, and even my kids were like OMG mom this is so great, and my fiance, he was just loving it, he had seconds. lol and he is a picky eater!!!

@BigGirlPanties that does sound yummy, I will have to try that one!!!

So today I had some Honey Treat Yogurt with Reeses. It was my first slip up and I immediately regretted. My brain and my sleeve are in agreement, never doing that again.
-
Finally made it to the gym and worked out on the Elliptical and Stationary bike. I am kicking up my work outs big time.

I hope Jake Worthington wins The Voice tonight! All 3 of his songs were in the top 10. *crosses fingers*

This weekend I swam up a storm. It was pretty amazing since I love to swim but I just stopped due to body image issues. Now that I am losing weight to HELL with those issues. I feel so good. Down 88 lbs total, 50 since surgery 3/12/14. Life is good.
-
So, I am back in 'normal' jeans. That is that I don't have to wear elastic waisted jeans in order to be comfortable. I am so glad I kept my clothes. It is more encouragement to be able to fit into things again.
-
So it has been a very slow two weeks of weight loss but I am down another 5 lbs and have met my goal to be in the 200s again! Today I am cleaning out all the clothes that I am swimming in and donating them. I hope that weight loss will pick up again. I have to push exercise into high gear!
-
Thats fantastic MissME!!! I too had to go through cloths and donate, I got rid of a lot and now I am in my summer cloths, and I am finding some of these don't fit too well either? I am at almost 8 weeks post surgery and down 34 lbs in total post surgery. I too need to get my butt in gear with more exercise!!!

I am down 74 lbs since February 3rd! I feel amazing! I can wear clothes I haven't worn in 5 years. VERY EXCITED!

I am feeling so much better. My incision site has been good for about a week. Glad that the pain has subsided. I have added more foods. Refried beans, mozerella, canned tuna... Still trying to eat slower so I don't feel yucky. At least there is more of a variety though.
-
My inciision sites are looking better but I still have muscle pain at the main site. It's been a challenge working with that pain in my side. This weekend I stayed in bed trying to give it a rest. I hope things will be okay when I am back at work tomorrow.

My stomach looks more hollow on the incision side and laying on it is just weird. Today I had some pain and the incisions burned a little. I am back to work. Eating is not going so well. I am so tired of eating the same old soft stuff. I wish I could find something high in protein that I can eat over and over again. Glad you are doing better.

Egg Whites!!! You can do it in different ways too? You can scramble them, you can take the egg yolk out and boil just the white in one of those eggie things? You can fry the egg white with no oil in a non stick pan? you can make a fratada out of it and add mushrooms or spinich to it, you can make an omlet out of egg whites with whatever you like in your omlets? I add chedder cheese. I love it!!! I could eat eggs forever????

I was very sore after my surgery on 3/12. I had to ice my main incision several times because it was so sore. That helped a lot. I found myself looking at the message boards and thinking 'How are these people so pain free and doing to much after surgery?' I just chalk it up to everyone is different. Right now I am 10 days out and I still have some pain at the main incision site but I was able to spend most of the date out and about. I am hoping that I will be much better by Monday when I go back to work.
-
Day 4 post op. I am feeling good. My main incision is swollen and I am still gassy but every day I am a little better.
-
Today I am VERY paranoid. I have to work right up until Wednesday and my job is customer facing. Today a lady with a cold came up to my window and was blowing her nose and coughing. Now I'm scared that I will get a cold before my surgery.
I really really hope this doesn't happen. I think I may take tomorrow off to prevent me from losing my mind with worry. -
3 Days until my surgery date! I am excited to begin this new chapter in my life.
