Wow..I am going on 8 months already...time flies.I am getting very close to goal..only 25 more pounds to go..I am very happy with the weight loss so far but very disappointed in all the excess skin..I will have lots of plastic surgery in  my future.I still do not feel hunger but Christmas was filled with tons of sweet temptations...I remained vigilant and never caved but I hope I can stay that strong longterm...I still see myself as a overweight person.I need to focus on how far I have come and not how far I still have to go.

O.K.here we are at 5 months already...time flies when your busy with life.I am down to 170 and have 40 more to go...I feel fantastic but still see myself much larger than I am..time to work on self image...I already see plenty of Plastic Surgery in my future...

I just had my 3 month check-up and weighed in at 208..I have lost 26% of my excess weight.I was able to stop taking my cholesterol meds..I am sooo excited about that.I also had my first  Lab results..everything was perfect..I am working out for an hour or so a day..Feeling very energetic and strong.

I just had my 6 week check-up...I was worried that I had not lost enough weight...Not only did I lose but I lost 22%..My Doc.told me most of his patients only lose between 15-20% during the first 6 weeks...I am happy..however the best news is my blood pressure(80/56)He told me to immediatly cut my dosage in half...I did not think this would come this soon..YEA..He said I would most likely be completely off it at my next visit...This was the main reason I had the surgery..get off all the meds...

I am very new to this whole process..In fact my daughter has helped me set up this whole thing...I am a computer momo..Well lets get started..I am 5 weeks out...wow what a 5 weeks it has been...This has been harder and easier than I thought in so many ways..First shock was seeing 4oz of food the day after surgery...I never thought to actually look at what 4 oz looked like...I had no real desire to eat anyway but what a reality check....I encourage all folks considering this surgery to look at 4 oz  before surgery..hahha.Second ...I never thought I would have no energy..I am so weak..I return to work in two weeks..how am I going to work when I feel like this?I am assured my energy will return when I add more protien(which I did ASAP)Actually feeling better today...HOWEVER  the great news is I am losing weight and inches...YEA.I do not weigh myself very often because I do not want to get caught up in the number thing...I am 100 percent losing inches...My size 20's are hanging..I will consider that a good thing.I still go have lunch with my friends at work and they are amazed but how much I have lost so far...People I would do this over and over and over..I will be free from fat forever!!!
