Finally below 200...Its been a long time. I have been really busy. going to school and taking care of family. I am down to 197 almost 80 lbs since last summer and 90 lbs from my highest. I feel better and I am going for my six month labs soon. I am wearing size 16 pants and xl tops. by bras were 48 DD and now 42 C Love that. I have not been here chating since I go to school 40 hours a week I dont have time to do much of anything. I am up early doing bills on line this morning so I thought I would drop in and change my stats. I hope all is well I will check back in with my lab results soon

Lots has changed over the past month. I am back in school and time is really starting to fly. I am almost under 200 lbs! only 7 lbs to go. on March 5th it will be my fifth month anniversary. If   i can get to 199 it will be awesome. Problems... I have been sick since surgery back in Oct. with allergies and colds one right after another. not three days in a row where I was not taking an entire box of Kleenex with me every where i go. also, food is still not good for me. everything...I mean everything i eat except my morning coffee causes some discomfort in my pouch and makes me feel sea-sick... I know that if I am not careful and I eat too fast... its coming up. protein drinks I get in two a day or at least one a day they make me queasy for about 30 mins. I get in about 1000 cals a day. I can not eat chicken at all nor any dairy or eggs. I can eat three table spoons of ground beef and all the veggies I can fit in. my daily menu is the same almost everyday. its as follows
coffee, protein drink, nuts, salad for lunch, Melba toast, taco for dinner, two pretzels for desert. plus all my fluids and most of my vitamins... these are the foods that cause the least amount of pain and suffering so to speak. The doctor is not sure why I am so sea sick feeling, he said that it might be from dehydration so I have been really pumping the fluids.. but I can live with it. its not so bad that I want to try to do anything about it. It does keep me from going off the deep end with food that's for sure. its a training process. I am no longer suffering from high blood sugar or high blood pressure so its a very good trade off. I am in a size 16 and some 14. that's down from 24...I have lost 10 inches off my bust, belly and hips each. its been a challenge each day but not more than I can handle. I am happy with my decision so far and I will know more in April when I get my blood work done.
 

The dog is still here. she is starting to walk/wobble on her back legs.. I have slowed way down on the weight loss but its ok. I feel good and I know it will take a long time to get the rest off. I have decided that where ever it stops it stops. I am not going to go off the deep end with extreme dieting and excersie just to get in a tiny pair of jeans only to go back to living a normal life and gain back 30 lbs... I am just going to go slow and make slight changes in my diet so I dont have that huge drop and bounce back. I have had mega alergies and went to the doctor today. He gave me some antihistamines for the nose and singular and a shot of antibiotics... I should be feeling better in now time.
I am down a total of about 56 lbs which feels great but not a big number. I am happy wth the decision of having this surgery.

 Mom and I decided to wait one more day. she seems to be pulling herself around better, still not going potty I cant imagine holding my pee 24 hours... she has a dr appt in the morning. We want her to see another Dr to see if there is anything he can do. She wants to get up and go but her legs just wont let her. she needs a miracle I have ask Jesus to heal her and she is in his hands now. thanks to all of you and your support. God Bless you friends, Your wonderful ladies who are there in my time of need. Thank you so very much...

Today I have to put my dog to sleep. she has one deformed back leg and the only good leg has become paralized. she cant walk, eat or go to the bathroom. its aweful. Its best for her but bad for me. so please pray for me today.

Where do I begin. Terri went home. my sis in law has been with us for a while. she has been very sick this year. Its not good news not sure if I will ever see her again. since this is a public site I can not go into details. I am officially down more that 50 lbs. I have my three month check up in two days. I bought clothes in a size 16 pants and anywhere from Med to Xlg tops. its been a long month and I am looking forward to a new year. I am planning on going back to school next month. I have had a cosmetology lic in the past in calif so I am going to school to get it here in alabama. I feel like I have a new lease on life and can do whatever I want to with my life. No limits and thats a nice feeling. I had no way to make plans for my future just three months ago. I had decided that I was going to die from diabetes and that was that but now I see a future and I have hope. Thank you Jesus... Hes the way, the truth and the life and thru Him I can do all things because He strengthens me.

I am now down below what I weighed since I left Calif. that was 15 yrs ago. I am down 47 lbs since surgery. down 62 lbs since my highest weight. wow what difference I feel. I got an early Christmas gift in the form of a really bad cold, thanks to my hubby. its been quite an adventure so far. i am not throwing up like i was, but I am not eating much either. I kept trying to eat dinner with the family and that doesn't work yet nor does eating solids in the morning. its still protein drinks. I don't have much appetite so not eating is not hard. I have been breaking out on my face.. not sure what that's about. I really need a new bra...I am a size 18 down from a very full 22/24 and a 16 or X Lg top down from a 3x and sometimes 4x. I can lay on my belly on the bed without pain in my back and I can rest my head flat. couldn't do that with all that weight and bust in the front. its the little things that are so cool. getting in and out of the tub, in and out of the car, walking more sure on my feet and without pain... Thank you Jesus for this miracle in my life.

Its one week away and I need 4 more lbs to make 50 by Christmas... I have had my very very sick sister in law here from California. she came in last Sunday 10 days ago and has spent the last 4 days in the hospital here. She has been sick since the summer with unknown cause for her white blood cells to drop down the 800 when normal is 4500 to 10,000. she had MRSA over the summer on her scalp and it took for ever to get rid of it. she has some enlarging nodules on her lungs and she looks 90 but shes 52. I saw her last year she looked great. as a matter of fact she was traveling the US and seeing all the sights on a three month tour...camping and sleeping in the back of the car... shes tough but now she is bed ridden and has poor balance and gets confused. if anyone has any ideas about this please let me know. thanks

well its been two months. I have lost 38 bls and 33.5 inches over all. I have been at a stand still on weight loss for two weeks. I have increased my exercise over the past two weeks and my eating...LOL finally some food is staying down. mbut I do have trouble everyday with one thing or another. I seem to reject all kinds of foods and can not get in more that 4 oz which is right on. Best things are protein drink syntha 6 choc flavor, fish tacos, and veggies.  Christmas is just around the corner and hopefully I will get some clothes!.. went from pants 24 to 18 shirts 3x to x-lg.
