The 3-week stall is real...no weight loss over the past 10 days! 

The 3-week stall is real...no weight loss over the past 10 days! 

It's been an amazing ride for the last 5 months! On my surgery date, September 17, 2016, I weighed 260lbs. As of today, almost 5 months later, I am at 185. Down 75 glorious pounds! Only 40 or so more pounds to go!! I am such a cheerleader of wls! I feel that if there is a way to better your health, image and sanity, then go for it! 

Totally off sleeve topic, but a lady ran into me with her car yesterday.  I cannot workout now, because I've got pretty bad shoulder pain.  I was buckling my little one in to her car seat yesterday when the car door started to shut on me (I thought it was wind--gets pretty windy here), so I stand up only to turn around and see a car crushing me in between the door and the frame of my car!!!! The older lady finally moved up and released me.  I didn't realize the pain at the time cause I was in shock! She was too and she was sorry.  Because it was on private property, the police wouldn't go out.  So, I got her insurance info (which wasn't her car, btw) and I filed a claim.  The insured called me. I thought "Okay I don't have to talk, but I'll be civil"  and I told her what happened.  She all of a sudden didn't believe me when I told her I was on the way to the urgent care center to get my shoulder checked at the advise of her insurance company.  She started asking questions offensively.  She says "well, I'm going to call the school (our kid's go there) and get the video since they have it." I told her go ahead, I'm telling you everything you'll see.  Anyway, the school only has video of the inside so there's nothing there.  The adjuster called and asked info.  She's nice enough.  I told her about the phone call, she says I do not have to talk with the insured at all.  I also told her she thinks I'm lying.  A little later, the adjuster calls me saying she's getting a different story.  SMH! I told her that I had a feeling that would happen, but it doesn't take away from what really happened.  Anyway, I'm home today, my shoulder is hurting me pretty bad.  I reenacted photos with my husband to show the position I was in for my injury and submitted that.  I even did a diagram of the parking lot to show how the car was hit, etc.  (Man, I should be in Judge Judy, eh?) LOL  So, the only thing that is carrying me through is this:

Teach me your way, Lord. lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.  Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations. I remain confident of this, I will see the goodness of the Lord....." Ps 27:11-13

God's got my back!

One day post-op and feeling good so far!

Had all of my excess tummy skin removed yesterday (panniculectomy) and I cannot wait to see my belly button! Its been 36 years since I've seen it! 

So, I told my boss I'm having surgery. The only reason why I chose to tell her is because it's only me, her, and her husbad (the owner) in the office, AND me having to be out for a couple of weeks maybe, I think she should have at least know something. I completely misjudged her!!! She's always eating right and doing fitness competitions. I thought maybe she might have the attitude of "why can't you just eat right and exercise?" But she didn't. She lit up and was super excited for me. She also knows all about it. Apparently her sis-n-law had it done. What a big relief!

New pictures posted!

NSV- wore my g-string tonight...no more granny panties!

Pre-op diet, day 10: No hunger, no cravings. Feeling great. Is this normal?

I bought a size 18 dress last night, down from a 28!

One week down on my pre-op diet and already my weight loss has stalled. Not sure if that's normal or not.

I really have no idea where I should be posting my journey. There is a forum that says "tell us about your journey" and then there is my profile page, which doesn't seem the best place to post since I want this to be helpful for someone else someday. On other sites/forums I've been on before when we start a thread about our journey, we keep that thread. I thought it might be the same here, but it looks more like people just post questions and "the moment" experiences. I'm not complaining, I love what I'm reading and it's all helped out. But no one has a full journey listed. I'd like to read something like that, but my own. But anyway...so, do I stop my A NEW ME thread and post here or what? Any suggestions??? I'm leaning keeping the thread but I'm not too sure at the moment.

I am now officially down over 160 pounds since March 21, 2016. Exciting! My mid-220s goal for Mardi Gras Day (February 28) now seems very do-able! Onward!

I've been eating terrible since yesterday. I know I have my first NUT appt this next wed, but I didn't really think I was going to do a food funeral. It's like everything I know I won't be able or shouldn't eat, I'm eating. Not cool. Got to get a handle on myself.

Day 3 of pre-op diet and feeling good! Already lost 3kg, which is good, since that's what I gained due to some "food funeral" type eating in early January. :-(

Surgery is on Monday! Nervous. Excited. Wishing my partner wasn't against it, but I'm committed to it regardless.

Guess Babbs got banned too? That's unfortunate. Things are definitely going to be different around here.

I had a great consultation with the surgeon, Dr. Amit Taggar, in FL at Bariatrix, FL!!!! Looks like I'm going to join the losers bench Feb 7th!

so sad and frustrated about not having my surgery in Mexico on Feb 3rd. But God is in charge of it all...
