I am a little frustrated with my weight loss.  I know its supposed to be less because I had the gastric sleeve and not the actual bypass, but it just seems so slowwwwwwwwwww!  I have lost 72 lbs total and the doc says it should be more - lose the carbs!  But I didnt lose anything at all for over a month because I wasnt eating enough protein!  Still I can walk and move better, so I would do it again, even with all the problems I had.  My goal is to decrease the carbs and increase the exercise.  Hopefully that will keep my metabolism going!  Until next time...

64.5 TOTAL LBS LOST!  Thats 5.3 lbs for week 5.  I am so happy its going down.  I am now lower than I have been in at least 5 years.  Seen the doctor last Thursday for my monthly checkup and everything is OK except I have 1 wound that is still healing.  I go back to work next Tuesday Sept 2 and I am a little scared, but I will figure it out.  I need to work on my eating plan.  I started back to Graduate school last Wed also and that is tough.  It is a lot going on, but its time to get back to reality!  Hope everyone has a great week!

59.2 pounds in 1 month!  Wow!  I would never have imagined...I have had some rough episodes, but I am slowly getting the hang of it.  I went out with a friend for Mexican tonight, and I ate 1/3 of a shrimp quesadilla (just the inside) and was totally full!  Oh yeah and 2 nacho chips - amazing!  I am still working on getting all the protein in, but its getting easier.  I tire easily but I am hoping that will pass soon.  I have my 1 month checkup Thursday so wish me luck!  Stay strong everyone...

I weighed this morning - 56 lbs in 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!! I knew this 3rd week would be much less, but 8.9 lbs in 1 week is still fab!  I had a pretty bad night Sunday night, couldn't sleep and very weak - almost passed out in the shower Monday morning.  I think it was because I hadn't eaten, but I got some food in me and I am much better today.  Much more energy too.  I am still having trouble getting my protein in, but working on it.  The Atkins Advantage shakes are not too bad, I can choke one down in a pinch for 15 g protein.  Hope everyone is having a great week and good luck to all!

Well it has been almost 3 weeks and I lost 46 lbs in the first 2 weeks.  I am forcing myself to only weigh once a week (Tuesdays) so that I won't get discouraged.  I still have trouble eating, but its my own fault.  I take big bites and it is a hard habit to break.  Also, I am having a lot of constipation (too much info I know), just being honest.  Scars are healing OK, but I am still tired alot.  Hoping for energy to kick in any day now.  Chewable iron is poison in disguise (I am convinced).  Will check back in a few days...
