November 13, 2006~ Hey all...Ok, well yesterday was exactly 5 months out, and I am right at -70lbs! It feels good to fianlly be at 70-I was so stuck in them 60's FOREVER!!!! lol...so now Im sure ill be saying seventies for what will seem an eternity.....I feel good though..main difference I am able to tell is, my energy. I seem to want to walk longer, and do more than before surgery. Simple things, use to put me out and I would dread them, but now I dont really care, I just kinda go with the flow. Still no major changes in my clothes. I mean there are small changes, but nothing earth shakin over. I guess when you were as big as I was it will take a while. We are planning a disney world trip in April..I am hoping to reach my 100lb mark, surely by then I can! I cannot wait until I am comfortable with myself to shed the jacket! I hope I will be able to next summer, so I will be able to do more and not be so HOT!!! Life in almost miserable to me in the summer b/c of the jacket...and its not as simple as everyone says to just take it off...I pray once I am semi comfy with my body I am able to get rid of the jacket-I am soooo use to it...well anyways...Life besides this is sad right now. Rickey lost his mom October 30th...and we are dealing with her loss right now. I feel so bad for him. He had already lost his father 3 years ago.....I am just trying to be there for him and talk if he wants to. But he never really wants to talk about that....I guess it is a man thing to keep it all bottled up? IDK!....But The holidays are quickly approaching and I am sure they are going to be very hard for him....I love him so much and it kills me to know he is hurting!!! Thanksgiving is next week. I think we may try to have it here at our new home, with my moms family...maybe thatll work out nice :)anyways I am gonna go I already wrote a book today.

October 16, 2006~ Hey, well I am 4 months and 4 days out..down 64 pounds. It is SLOWLY coming off. But it is comnig off, thank God! I know I def. do not excerise like I need to...but my life is very complicated right now and its really hard to get the exercise in..I tell myself everyday I am going to start walking or something and I dont but I will start soon!!! lol
I know that would most def speed the weight loss up...But besdies that I am blessed to have had it and havethe weightloss I am having.....Its a new thing everyday I am still learning...I can KIDNA eat what I want now. I am good at chicken, steaks-normally- and most meats and veggies....What I hate the most-is going out to eat, and in the middle of my dinner, my stomache starts acting up and we gotta go so I can GO,lol .... I have to say its an awful feeling, lol ... But I know its worth it, when I only ate 5 bites of my meal...and use to I could eat all my meal and still be hunrgry..
Its just been such a mAjor leanring experience for me! My clothes are slowly getting bigger on me to..I havent noticed a huge change in my clothes just yet. I wore baggy clothes to begin with..But I am able to wear some old stuff I havent worn in years so I guess thats good! lol well until next time.......... MUAH

August 10, 2006~ Hello everyone...Well it will be 2 months in 2 days! As of this week I am officially down 40lbs! Ok, so I still cannot tell one bit! At first when I had just lost like 10-15 lbs my rings were very very loose, they arent loose anymore, whats the deal with that? Somedays I may be down like 42-43 lbs depending if my scale is having a bad day or not...stupid thing,lol.....but other than that, I am kinda eating pretty much what I want. I am not drinking to many cokes...just becasue they hurt going down. If I do drink one I drink diet cherry coke--it tastes flat so it goes down real good....I sometimes can eat a lot at a meal,then other days I cant get past 2 bites! So I am learning. They say I can eat more at one meal b/c I dont know when I am full, but I think I can tell exactly when Im full.....who knows!!!
I question all the time is this working?! Am I suppose to be losing more weight?! But I guess I am doing good...!!! Well I will update more later on when I have more weightloss news.. :)

June 25th, 2006~ Hi all! I hope everyone is doing wonderful, I just wanted to write a little this evening....Well I am 2 weeks post-op in less than 8 hours..and tonight I went ahead and tried to hold down something different other than liquids. I had some tuna with mustard..It was really good!!! I did great also! I put a lot of mustard in it that way it was extra "soupy" and easier to eat.......Leslie and her hubby and Ryan came over and we hung out. Rickey cooked some hot dogs on the grill...ohhh my gosh the smell, lol... I wanted to eat with them, I really did...but once I was able to eat my tuna, I got full and I was ok then. Tomorrow is the day I will go and get weighed! So I will definesly post tomorrow evening or sometime soon...I cant wait to see how much I have lost, if any?! Well have a blessed night everyone
