Ok so I am about 8 months post op.....and I eat ALL of the time. I feel like i am getting back into my old habits!!! HELP ME!!! I want to snack constantly. My surgeon doesn't say much about it but i am worried. I am able to eat sugar and pasta......shouldn't this be making me sick?!!?!? I crave chips and dip.....what is wrong with me?!?!? I was just on vacation for two weeks and gained 4 pounds......what is going on? (turns out this was water weight....i doubled up on my BP meds and lost all of the extra weight overnight!!!)  any suggestions are more than welcomed!!!

Just thought I would let everyone know how i am doing........I feel WONDERFUL!! Things are going ok for me. I am officially about 3 pounds away from being under 300 lbs!! woo hoo.
I have been having issues with cravings and snacking over the past few weeks.....and i am eating a lot more than i should be able to in my head. Salad seems to go down ok and then i get sick from it almost instantly with diarrhea....who knows?!? maybe this is a phase that i am going through. I have been using my food scale more but the stuff i am measuring is not the healthiest. I crave Dorritos!!! I am still having a lot of issues trying to get my water in also.....but that is a battle i have dealt with forever!!!

anyway i hope to post more pics sometime soon.

thanks for listening to me ramble!!

Well i have lost a total of 72.9 pounds!!! I guess i am doing ok. I feel wonderful. I have done 2 5K charity walks in the past 3 weeks.....that feels great doing the last mile. A friend of mine is doing a half marathon in the summer and wants me to attempt it.....i highly doubt it but who knows!!! Well i must get to work. Just wanted to let everyone know i am doing well. Talk soon.

ok so i am thinking that i am crazy. i just weighed myself and in 2 days i am down......almost 7 pounds!!! what is going on? is this normal? yesterday the hubby and i were fighting and i could barely eat anything.....but i wouldn't think i would lose that quick. who knows....but hey for today i am out of the 320's!!!!!

thanks for listening!!!

Good morning all! I am so frustrated this morning that i could scream! I have gained 2 pounds! I am working out at the gym, eating right and drinking lots.....what am i doing wrong?! I know that there are plataues that i will hit but come on!!! Well that's all for now thanks for letting me vent.

Have a great week everyone!!

Well I have finally hit the 50 pound mark!! I have lost 51.2 pounds since the start of all of this and a total of 28.7 since surgery!! I am so pysched today!! I have been waiting to hit the 50 pound point for so long. I have been working out at the gym 3 days a week and trying to get my protein in, so i guess it is all paying off!!! I guess that's it for now. I will post more next week (maybe sooner).

Well it's monday morning....5 weeks post op. I have lost 21 pounds since surgery and a total of 43.8 pounds since the beginning of my pre-op diet. I am thinking that I am doing pretty good. It's coming off slower than i thought but hey it's coming off, right?!!! I just need to remind myself to get my protein and drink my water!!! I wanted to hit the gym this weekend....but never made it so i brought my clothes with me to work this morning so i have no excuse but to stop at the gym on my way home. I guess when i get discouraged about the slow loss i should remember that.....my heary isn't carrying around that extra 43.8 pounds and such....but summer is approaching and i have a pair of shorts i am dying to get into and actually look good in!!!! I did however try on a pair of jeans that i was never able to get into prior to this weekend....and guess what!!! they fit!!!! Anyway enough rambling on from me. Have a great week (and of course St. Patrick's day) all and thanks for all of your support.

Well I have made it. I am officially one month post op. I weighed myself this morning and have gained 1.7 pounds!!! I was discouraged and called the bariatric nurse....god love her......she puts up with so much from me, Deb is my angel. She feels that it is from my menstrual cycle.....I am doing all the right stuff so there is no reason for it other than the poop thing or my period coming. It is just so annoying. So I have lost a total of 39 pounds now......was 40 but it's all good. Well just wanted to update. Thanks for listening!!

I have posted some pictures of me so far in this journey. I can't really tell a difference.....but i feel great. I can tell a difference in the way things fit but not how they look. I weigh myself tomorrow morning so i will update then. As of friday i hadn't loist any weight for the week. I adn't had a bowel movement either.....so maybe that is the reason. Let's hope so!!!! Anyway I have officially started exercising!!! I am a bit sore but other than that i feel great. My friend Jill walked the track with me last night and before I knew it we had walked 3 miles!!!! Went to the gym today and walked on the treadmill......could only force myself to do 1 mile. BOREDOM kicked in!!!! well i think that is it for now!!! Talk to you all later!!!

well i am now 3 weeks post op!! i have made it so far so good. I feel great. I am 17.8 pounds down since surgery and a total of 40.8 pounds since the whole process of this! I have not regretted my decision one bit. last night i had quite a bit of nausea but just laying on the couch seemed to help with that. i am still having some issues getting my protein in for the day. the protein shakes make me so sick to my stomach. if anyone has suggestions as to what i can do for that please let me know.  well i guess that's it for now.
