I went to the doctor becaue i was getting sick after eating and becuase i wasnt eating i was getting very dizzy and light headed and weak. So i have an apopintmnet for 7/7 for an endoscopy where the dr will make the opening from my stomach to intestin a little bigger so food stops getting stuck and making me sick. I really cant wait for that becuase i really hate getting sick so often.

Other than that i am doing well. Weight is coming off great. I am planning a wedding and i always thought i would need to buy a dress from the plus size section. Well i was able to buy a 16 in misses not thinking that it would fit on arrival but in time with working out it would fit for the wedding 9/18 but my surprise it fit when i got it (i ordered it from online) I was so happy!! I will be getting it altered just closer to the wedding date i need it a little shorter and taken in pending how much i lose.

Well thats pretty much it for what has been going on in my life!

Before surgery I was told that I have PCOS. This did not make me happy as I know it would give me trouble when I was ready to start having kids. Well I went to the gyno today and I was told that I was miss diagnosed with PCOS i was VERY happy when i heard this. I have been thinking about a family for soemtime but this was hanging over my head. I feel great now to know that is not something i will have to deal with!

I couldn't be any happier; I am feeling great and loving my new look. The weight is coming off and so are my clothes i am buying new clothes but I am limiting myself because I know that I will lose more and then need new clothes. I am starting to exercixe more my fiance and i have made plans to walk down to the basketball court and play there then walking home which is up large hill. I need to make working out more interesting because it get board with the same routine which results with my stopping. Another plus is I am getting my protien in FINALLY... I found one that I like and I can get down. Next week end I am going to see my family in Vermont the last time i seen them I was one week post op so it will be a nice change and they will be able to see the progress that i have made.

I am allowed to eat what i want ( of course within reason) but i have found my trouble food MEAT most of the time meat just hurts my pouch, and it makes me not want to eat it. I mean its not a total bad thing but i was a big meat girl before... I know things will change but its hard to get used too. My co workers always forget that i cant eat many things so when they bring the donuts and cookies in i am a little jelous, but i have found what helps curve my sweet tooth, SF hot chocolate i love it it hits the spot every time.

I will have to post some pics very soon maybe this week end i want to put a before and after pic next to each other so i can see if i can see it i know i can feel it.and my clothes being so lose i can notice.

Oh yeah the one thing i love the most is you can start to see my collar bones which you werent able to see before

Today i ate my lunch at 11:00 , when i go to work i always have my lunch at 11. Well i had an egg and cheese on half of an english muffin. I had two bites with the english muffin and i could tell it wasnt settling great so i stopped eating the english muffin and just the egg and cheese went down great the best an egg ever has. But almost two hours later i got the worst cramping EVER... it hurt everytime i moved i didnt know what it was i just wanted to cry at one point. I took a gas x strip and waited for another hour and i was still in pain. i was walking around really nervous about what it was and adventually it went away. if it was gas pain it was the worst gas pain i have ever experienced. Now i am feeling great, i am going to eat some veggies for dinner and i hope the same thing does NOT happen

It went great, yes i had to wait for about 45min to see the docotor but when i see him its always such a great experience. He was very happy with the weightloss, gave me the okay to eat what i want (of course within reason) no junk food or sweets. I have been trying more foods meats are the hardest for me they just make me stomach hurt and then i dont want to eat ( i do chew till its mushy!).

I got some pointers about exercise he told me that i should do an hour a day and i dont have to do crazy exercise but things like walking and my elypitcal machine. But he said that is better than hitting the gym 3 times a week. He told me that every one is different but with his experience that within the first three months the average amoutn lost after surgery is 40-60 pounds so i was glad to hear that, as my previous blog post i felt like i wasnt losing enough (but not any more)

I am starting to see it alot know with the weightloss my face and neck area has changed i can see the collar bone :) also my pants are falling off i had to go but a new belt because none of mine fit any more and then i bought a new one and i had to vut a whole in it so it could fit me this morning

Feeling Great!!

On April 13 a person i know had WLS and she makes updates daily on facebook and she is already lost 34 pounds.  I look at myself 40 pounds lost and I had my surgery a little over 2 months ago. I hope I am doing this right. I have been cleard for all foods and I have been watching my portions, no i havent been exercising as much as i should but I work 45 hours a week school full time and I am finishing up my wedding plans that is in september. I know we all lose at our own pace but it still bums me out a little. Maybe because everyday she asks me how much i have lost and then tells me what she lost and I am like okay enought, yes i know I sound jelous and i guess part of me is.

On the other hand I have been getting alot of complements from people and those are great to hear, also down three pant sizes and i just bought a new pair of jeans and i love it i feel so fashionable lol. I am getting more confidence which is great too because i lacked that alot.

Over all i know that i will lose the weight as long as i stay focused and on track, and everyone loses at their own pace.

I am totally happy I hit a mini stall for about 2 weeks then i weighed in this morning and then the scale moved!! I was so excited and happy that I am over that little hump. I never would of thought that one month post op I would be 36 pounds lighter. I have to go shopping I only have one pair of jeans left that fit and those are getting pretty baggy, I tried on my belt yesterday and i couldnt wear it becuase it was too BIG!!!!! I am back at work and its good but I kind of liked being home all day lol. Cant wait to see the scale move again 

So i have been sitting at home since surgery and i guess you can say i am READY to go back to work. I am tired of sitting at home all day. I started exercising and i feel really good about that. I have an eliptical now and a little weight bench so its been nice. I also have this On Demand feature where i can do exercise viedos on the tv with out having to buy them witch is really nice. I have been oked to go to solid food which has been pretty hard so i have been sticking to the soft diet food. I tried some meats and i have a very hard time with those, I puked for the first time  and it hurt. After that i kept salvating(sp) and getting these fomies and had to keep spitting it was pretty gross! I was a little bummed that i lost only 1 lb in 1 week. But i know that this happens.

Well i went to see the doctor today and he released me to do everything move to the next phase of food, exercise and everything. I am nervous about his i feel that he is passing me to do things very quickly because i am young. He forgets that just because i am young doesn't mean i can speed through it. I know that i am ready for phase two of the diet and i can start the exercise but i am still in pain. Bending over picking up heavy things. I am going back to work on the 12th the doctor feels i am ready to go back tomorrow. I know that i am not ready for that. I work at a cable company and the boxes are pretty heavy and the counter where you give the customer the box is up to my shoulders so its pretty tough. I am going to give myself the extra week and head back to work. I just want to docotor to realize that just because i am young doesnt mean anything, I was in the hospital Two extra days than what he predicted, and he based his thought soly on me being young. I hope the rest goes well. I will be back at the doctor office at the end of next month.

I have been super tired but walking as much as possible. I am craving to chew my food i dont care what it is i just want to chew. I was told not to chew gum so what used to help wont help me know. I go see the doctor Tuesday, I hope i am feeling better by them i have one cut that HURTS so bad i cant sit for to long sitting up becasue it becomes so painful then i have to lean back sitting up to get some pressure off of the cut. I decided to go to the mall today and that wiped me out. I was tired of standing and walking i just needed to head home but i did do alot of walking. Hope that i will feel a little better and less sore soon
