What a great start to a new year and a new me.  I am down 105lbs from July 23, 2008.   I am so happy with my progress and I continue to watch what I eat.  My only down fall is not exercising enough.   I am so excited about the weight loss and its great going to the support meetings to here what others are going through.  

Wow!!  It's been 4 months and I am feeling wonderful!! 
This was the best decision I could have made for myself I have lost 79lbs and what a difference.   I am so glad I kept all my old clothes I just keep going down in sizes and I energy level is up.  

I am still eating well and have had no problems with any food.   I stick with my protein and try to add some veggies in but still have trouble having room for anything else.  

A typical day for me is:
Breakfast-  Quaker Oatmeal(weight control) Banana Bread 7g protein
                      Multi Grain- 1 piece of toast 3g protein
Snack- yogurt  3g protein
Lunch- 3 oz of ground turkey Patty/2% American cheese 22g protein
Dinner- 3 oz of ground chicken patty/ 2% American Cheese 19g protein
Snack - Almonds  6g protein

It's been 2 months and I have lost 52lbs.   I feel so much better than I did a month ago.   If I had to do this over I would in a heart beat.  

Things have been easy for me.   I have not been sick at all and getting food down has not been to hard.   I am still trying to get the exercise down but it will come in time.  

The comes off here and there, I have had some stalls but I just remember how I felt 2 months ago and how I had no energy for anything.

I look forward to the months ahead.  

Well I had my appointment with the doctor today and everything is on schedule and I am doing great.   I am down 42lbs!!!  I feel much better but I still have some issues with my feet.  

My husband wont know me when he come home the end of September.  

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since surgery.  I am still doing well and the weight is coming off slow but I feel so much better already.   I have lost 32 pounds since the start and will post a 1 month picture next week.  

I am still able to get in all my water but my food in take has gone down,  I try and eat the 2 oz per meal but some meals I only manage to eat half.  

I will return to work tomorrow and I am excited.   I am 4pounds shy of where I wanted to be but thats OK!  

Well I am home and things went so well.   I have no pain just sore.   Dr. Wohlgemuth is the best.    I came home from the hospital on Friday and have been out everyday getting my walking in. 

I had my 1 week appointment today and everything is on schedule.   I am able to drink 64 oz of water each day and some protein but I will keep adding.   I have been moved up to soft foods so I am going to try 2 tbsp of tuna fish tonight and see how that goes.  

Tomorrow is my surgery day at 7:30a.m. and I am so ready.  Everybody keeps asking if I am nervous but I am not.  I am calm and ready.  Wish me the best of luck! 

Well my surgery is Wednesday at 7:30am and I am starting to get excited.  I am looking forward to feeling better.   I don't know how to explain it but I am just ready.   I know in my heart that everything is going to go smooth and I will be on the road to feeling and looking good in the near future.

Wow!! it's almost here.  I feel good and looking forward to Wednesday.   Since I've gotten my surgery date I have told some people that I am having the surgery and I am really surprise at the reaction.   Some people are just kind of surprised others say thats great.   I really feel I have thought very hard about this decison and it upsets me when people think this is the easy way out.   Well the count down has started and I am looking so forward to feeling better and enjoying doing more.  

1 week to go.   I start my liquid diet tomorrow and I am really excited.   I'm looking forward to feelng better.
