I pulled them on thinking NO WAY... but they fit! I will be taking some 6 months pics soon! I feel great... I need to up my exersice and water so I can get the other 40-50 lbs off by summer!

9 weeks 50lbs gone forever!

Jul 15, 2010

Just a note to document my first real goal of losing 50 lbs... next goal - Onederland!

Things have been going pretty good. Trying to vary my food from the list has been somewhat boring, but hey I make it work. I have only been "sick stuck" one time to the point of throwing up.... the food was so good I simply ate too fast and too big of bites.

Still working on getting all of the daily calcium in each day, but doing great on the other vites.

My one incision finally healed so I have been going swimming lately... nice weather for it and great exercise. I have also been trying to do the Wii fit for 30 minutes each day.

2 weeks - better!

May 24, 2010

Wow I finally feel almost human! No more fever and lung issue, no more staples pulling, cleared to add a few more foods! Just about have this water thing kicked, protein shake no problems, multi vite - almost everyday (2 times) now! B12 and B complex no worries, calcium still working on that.... what else???? who knows but seems to be on the uphill swing now! Hope this inspires someone out there to know it gets better almost daily.

Ups and Downs

May 15, 2010

Hey all... well surgery was Tuesday, I felt good in the hospital with the good drugs, the noise level there was terrible, did not sleep much. Went home Wed. about 5:30 pm on the liquid pain meds.... whooo those threw me for a loop made me feel like I was in a bar fight!

Decided the liquid Tylenol would have to do for me. Thursday was ok, walked a few times outside, sipped all day, got the protein in and all the vites/meds...

then came Friday... blah! It hurt to deep breath, I am bruised so bad by the incisions and the anti gall stone meds gave me an awful rash, so they took me off of that - one less pill to crush! By bedtime last night I took the liquid Tylenol and BLAH up it came, that did not feel so good, finally got to sleep,

so here I am today having some pain but scared to take the Tylenol, I am sipping and walking around but I feel like I have horrible heart burn after eating too much Mexican food????

Someone just tell me this is all "normal"... xox thanks!
