I have had some struggles going to the gym.  Thank goodness my husband motivates me!!!! We have been hitting the gym at least three times a week.  We had one week where we slacked off and we paid for it.  It really is important to keep that gym thing going!  I have a hard getting going but once I am there I love it!!

I have lost 47lbs so far and am on regular foods.  That is proving to be the most difficult for me because I really have to watch the carbs - they are my weakness.  We are supposed to get three servings of carbs a day but I choose to do only two and leave it at that until I really get a system in place.  It is too soon for me. IMO! 

Seeing the pounds come off is great!  Haven't started to lift weights yet only doing cardio - I will get to the weights though.

Ta ta for now!!

I am now three weeks out.  I had a couple of rough spots where I could not get down my shake.  No matter what I did, I felt fine until I drank that shake and then I got naseous and .  I told the doctor and he moved me to pureed foods a few days early.  I felt so much better!!  I stopped feeling naseous.  It's been a battle to keep myself hydrated enough though.  I had a cold during that rough patch too which didn't help because cold and dairy of any sort don't mix.  So glad that's over.  

I had my surgery on March 2, 2009.  I was really nervous going in.  I was pleasantly surprised when I awoke.  I didn't have much pain! I had a Laproscopic Gastric Bypass.  I thought I would be bed ridden and not able to move.  My first walk the night after my surgery really did make me feel better.  I am now five days post-op and I have been walk,walk, walking and sip, sip, sipping.  Still getting used to knowing when I am full and trying to get everything in that I need to during the day.  

Until later....

Getting close to my date - 3-2-10!  I have so many things going through my mind but am excited about the new journey I am about to begin!
