Down 127 lbs. Surgery seems like it was eons ago. Beginning to want to eat more. In fact I can eat a whole hotdog with chili. Or 5 tamales. I constantly snack on junk food. Can't seem to beat the habit. It is getting worse. Worried that I will start to gain weight. I will be devastated. Really bored with myself. Gambling problem has gotten worse, not better. Need to find something to do with my time. I work 4 - 5 days a week, 12 hour days. But on my days off if I am by myself, I am at the casino. Just so bummed at this point in my life. Not happy.

I have realized over the past few days that my food addition is gone, but I did develop a gambling addition. (Which I am currently working on getting over). My youngest child has moved out of the house in February. I work 3 days a week and am at home with my  two dogs 4 days a week. I now feel alone. I have nothing here to use as comfort, no food that I enjoy, no gambling. (Good thing I don't do drugs). My husband just doesn't understand what I am going through. He had lap band surgery last year and has lost over 145 lbs. He has energy to burn and keeps busy 7 days a week. What is my problem. I wish I had the answer. Maybe menapausal or just plain old depression. Go figure.

Those clothes that I bought weeks back (size 16) fit and I am able to slide them off without unbuttoning them. COOL BEANS.  I am able to see the difference in the looseness of the fat in my body. I used to have very taut skin. I feel as though I am in the giggle state. Everything giggles now, really need to start getting into some sort of exercise routine.  Bike ridiing is not  cutting it.

Was very pleased with my visit at 2 months.  Had lost 45 lbs. Dr. Said I was right on track.  Still having some problems with eating too fast then having the foamies for 15 minutes afterwards. Hopefully I will learn to slow down soon.  I had bought  a size 16 after I went to see my physician. I thought that I would be able to wear them later this summer.  However, my husband and I leave for vacation tomorrow and I can fit into the outfits. I really can't believe this.  I wore a pair of blue jeans to work last week for a fundraiser. I got so many compliments it was a great day. My nursing scrubs are so baggy that it is hard to see how much weight I have actually lost.  I even got compliments from people at work who rarely talk to me.   More to come.

It has been 5 weeks, I stalled at week 3 and have been misreable.  Started working again last week and nearly passed out the first day. Forgot to drink and eat for about 3 - 4 hours.  Weighed  myself yesterday and the scale finally moved. Lost 3 lbs. Can't say yet if I love this but I know that I really have to work to get things right. Keeping my chin up

After one month off, I am back at work, I nearly passed out in a patient's room. I forgot to eat and continue drinking.  Really rough time. Didn't think that I would get through the night. Left an hour early due to fatigue. Yuck

I went for my 2 week post op visit and was supprised that I have lost 24 lbs since surgery. My surgeon has given my high expectations of this surgery.  We started talking about goals. I have really not thought about my "Ideal goal weight" At my height, he thinks that I should get down to about 150 lbs. He states that if I really stick to my diet regimen that I should arrive at  his by Christmas of this year. I started crying. I have not been that weight for over 30 years. I think that this is a little far fetched but I'm willing to give it it my best. I know that I would feel great.  We'll see how things go.
