VERY happy today, lost 1 kg or 2.2 pounds after a Vacation

Having a rough day - dehydrated and having a rough time rehydrating.

Hoping everyone has a safe and happy 4th! May your food choices be wise and fireworks light up your skies!

NSV - when at the dentist yesterday, the dental hygienist remarked on my 'knobbly knees.' MY KNEES HAVE KNOBS!

I met with a cardiologist yesterday. I definitely feel better after seeing him. He believes having two major surgeries in 8 months has played a huge role. My passing out, dizziness and low heart rate is being caused by 3 things: surgeons using steroids during and after spine surgery has caused my adrenal system to be out of whack which is causing my body to take longer to acclimate to positional changes, dehydration from the ability to swallow much for the last 4 weeks and the nerve in my cervical spine that was impacted and controls heart rate is irritate. He said it is like a perfect storm. An endocrinologist can help me with the adrenal gland issue. Of course Imy throat is getting better making hydration a bit easier and I just have to give that nerve some time to heal. My heart looks very health! Thanks for all the well wishes!

Today was my first day back to work, and it was a really slow day, but I'm WIPED OUT!

120 pounds? Really? Yes! And then some...

2 more days until surgery! I'm excited, nervous, impatient, joyful, scared, thankful, blessed, giddy.....I have so many emotions going on all at one time. I'm like a kid the night before Christmas EVE!! I'm ready to get today done and go to sleep so tomorrow can be Monday!! There's lots to do the day before surgery so Monday will go by quickly...I hope!! Did I tell you how excited I am?? Lol

My BMI is under 40 as of today!

Great workout today! Still loving that the only pain I feel at the gym is from my workout, and not the back pain I used to have.

Craving food that's not liquid!

Sleeve is working, so why did I find myself ALMOST biting on some ridiculous miracle weight loss drops one of my friends is using? Dumb, dumb, dumb - get it together, girlie!

3 WEEKS POST-OP: getting better with protein goals, still can't manage solids, exercising .....5 pound loss this week.

First visit with the nutritionist today! Ready to learn!

Yardwork all day yesterday and I am feeling it today!

Not sure how i feel about being put on cholesterol medication. I know i need it, but never thought I would need to be on it at 28 years old. Wish I had started taking my health more seriously earlier in life.

Just got that call....ya know the pre screening call before surgery aaaahhhh this is really happening Monday morning I will be starting my new life

Ugh so close but still so far from 200!

The drain and staples are gone -- good riddance! 8 days since surgery and wow, am I hungry! Living on ~500 liquid calories per day (or less) for 8 days has not been easy. Hopefully I'll get my brain back soon!

The look of shock on my friends face when she saw me tonight was amazing. It made me so happy she was so proud of me. I have the most supportive friends and co-workers. I am thankful for that.

210 lbs. today! That's 163 lost overall, 122since surgery Sept. 9th, 2014, 50 to go to my personal goal, 11 to go to my surgeon's goal, and 30 to go to compromise in-between the two goals, Lol! IN THE HOME STRETCH NOW :-) !!

My official surgery weight is 245. I kicked some butt on my pre-surgery weight loss.

Starting Phase II diet today. We will see how my new tummy likes the new selections...slowly but surely

Feeling good about my weigh in at the Drs Office..celebrate every small change!

My surgeon did my EGD on 6/18 so I'm hoping to get a surgery date when I see him on the 24th....PLEASE let me get a date!
