Early Spring Update

Well, April is almost here, and with the first full spring month comes a new found love for life and new clothes! I am down 64 pounds, cannot wear most of my old clothes (except for the ones I kept from high school!!), and cannot wait to buy some new ones!! The only outfit I really, REALLY miss is my BCBG velour jumpsiut, which anyone who sees me even on a weekly basis has seen me wear this often! It was my favorite outfit, but is now way too big!! I still trying to wear it if possible, but even on my bloated PMS week last week it still fell off me! Oh well...I'll just get a new one (or two)! :)

I am now able to eat anything in small amounts. Restaurants are even enjoyable again. Gulf Shores should be a blast not having to worry about nausea or not being able to eat certain foods! The one and only thing that comes to mind as making me VERY sick lately is a mozzerella stick. I now know why fried foods are bad for mini-tummies! However, I can eat other fried foods, as proven by me taking bites of Austin's fried food once or twice! ;) Other than that mishap with the mozzerella stick, food has become a good thing again instead of a chore! I am confident that I will continue to loose even on vacation with food and drinks galore!

I'll post a picture when I reach 75 pounds lost (only 11 more to go!), I promise!! Thanks again for all the continued support! :)

2 Months Already

Down 61 pounds total, and cannot believe that it has been 2 months since surgery. What a ride it's been. I'm a little over half way already. :D Can't complain about that!

7 Weeks Already...

Wow...time sure flies when you can't eat a whole lot! I am doing much better thses days, back to eating a little bit and no longer have the nausea (for the most part). I am down 58lbs. and have been stuck here at 58 for a while now. WLS patients call this an infamous "stall", and I didn't really have on until now. It sucks not seeing the scale move daily anymore! At least every other day! Well, I have a lot to be happy about with the nausea gone, and Gulf Shores to look forward to (we leave 3 weeks from TOMORROW!). I plan on buying a few clothing items before we leave, but buying most of them down there (gotta love that Tanger Outlet Mall!) I had an appt. Monday at MMPC and they were very happy with my loss so far. I am in the higher percentage of loss (can't remember what), so I'm happy with that. Back to work, although only eating a few hundred calories a day makes me very, VERY tired while I'm there! I usually crash around lunch time (11:30). I have been sleeping about 10 hours a night and napping after work. I think Austin is getting sick of this routine, but I can't help it, and hopefully it's only temporary! Well, that's about it for now, I'll re-post (with some pics too!) when I break this damn stall. I'll post pics at my 60 pound mark. Two pounds to go...

Finally...some R-E-L-I-E-F!!!

As long as I take my meds on time, I am beginning to get some huge relief from the nausea!! YAY!!! Thank God for Reglan...

As of this morning, I am down exactly 54 pounds and am able to eat tiny bits of food at a time. Things are really looking up for me!! Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers...they worked!
