 It has been a crazy week for me. My husband left on Saturday until next Friday to Italy (lucky man) and military wives rule, something has to break when the spouse is away. So on Sunday morning my big screen TV take a crap in my living room. So since I just had surgery I can't lift so I can't bring another TV into the living room. Whatever, adapt and over come. I have house guests that are coming and I have to have my entire house cleaned by Friday (they were supposed to be here Saturday, which would have been super cause my husband would have been able to help me with whatever I needed) so now I have to do it all myself. Anyway here is what I weight today... YAY me! Could it be that I am this close to onederland? I haven't been under 200# in many years. Ok folks next week is the real challenge, I get to go back to school. My first class on Monday you ask? ...Breakfast pastries.....greeeeeeeaaaaaaat! Take care ya'll and have a wonderfully blessed week!

Hey! So I had my surgery 1 week ago. What a week. So now it's finally catchin up to me that I want solid foods like I can't even explain. I know that next week I will be able to eat cottage cheese and I am holding on to that. I am still sore but not to bad. I am so thankful for everyone who has been there to support me on this journey, it has meant so much! Well I can't sit too long in this chair so here is my weekly weigh in...

I am very happy so far with the loss....yay me!!! 15 pounds gone forever!!!
And if ya'll did or did not know I am a youtube fanatic. I find alot of inspiration in the stories people have on there. Here is a video that touched me today and thought I would share.

I did this to get healthy and get rid of my PCOS and related symtoms. Today I am proud to say the acne on my face and arms and back of my neck are already clearing up. I menstrated the day after I got home, which is huge. So far I am happy I did this. I am feeling more feminine everyday.

So I had my surgery on Wednesday, 5/26/10, and got to go home last night! My doc said she was very happy with how good it went and was pleased with my recovery. Here is my weight the morning of surgery...



I checked into the hospital in the morning and was on my way to the new me. I had the most trouble the first night with nausea and getting the pain under control but once we got the pain taken care of the nausea was the real battle. I was able to walk around the first evening but just for a short time then back to bed. I was sent to a regular room the next morning and walked for a short time after that darn nausea was taken care of. My bladder was working well with in the time it needed to be and this morning I found the gas in my tummy has found it's propper exit as well...lol. I went for a short walk just a little while ago and am feeling ok. Still struggling with mild nausea but oh well, I will get over that soon. Thanks for everyones support. Take care and I will write more later. I hope everyone else that had their surgeries the same day as mine a quick recovery and hope all went well! 

So here is my weekly weigh in:

I decided that I am just going to go off of my scale at home since I can't hop on the doc's scale every week.  I was really put off by my weigh in yesterday at the docs since it was so much of a difference with mine...but shake it off cause today is another day.  I decided that I am really going to be cut throat this week with this diet because my doc is crazy about the preop diet weight loss.  She has been known to cancel surgeries if she doesn't see the number she likes and man oh man I AM NOT going through this preop liquid diet again!  So this time next week I will be heading over to the loosers bench.  I am excited, nervous, scared and still in the back of my sabotaging brain I am wondering if I am doing the right thing....YEAH I AM!!! 

So here is my weight after I stepped on the scale this morning....I know I need to dust off my scale, heehee

Everyday gets a little easier but I just miss food so much.  I know that in no time I will be eating solids again.  I have to remember that this is a gift that I need to embrace. 

I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 226.8!  I am trying to focus on that when I want to eat today.  I can't believe how tough this is for me and it's only been a couple days.  So much harder then I thought.  Oh well I am strong...I wil survive this.  I hope my fellow liquid dieters are having a better time at this then I am...

So last night was pretty interesting.  I was soooooo hungry.  At first I was like um this isn't so so bad then I remembered that I am an evening eater.  I didn't eat much for dinner than I was starving the rest of the night, but it was just head hunger.  No matter what I ate I wasn't satisfied.  This morning however, I felt something that I hadn't felt is a long long time...there was a rumbly in my tumbly.  My stomach was growling this morning.  So far I have had a protein shake, I am trying to save everything else I can eat for later so I will have to live on some water and broth till dinner, lol.  BUT...this morning I got on the scale and it read 228.2 I just got to keep my eye on the prize.  Well you know it's bad when I was watching a movie and they were eating tacos and my freakin mouth was watering....uhg

Well today is the first day of the rest of my life, whatever that means.  Today is day one of the new healthier me.  Anyway last night while at the gym I have started to incorporate weights into my exercise program so I am super sore today.  Alright down to the nitty gritty:


Height   5'3"
Weight  230 (I gained back all the weight I lost, all 3 pounds, lol)
Shirt size 2x
Pant size 18/20

My goal is to loose at least 10 pounds on this liquid diet.  Wish my luck, I am sure I will be back posting later to let you know how my first day went after the fact.  I also want to wish all my same day surgery peeps the best of luck.  We can do this, we will find strength in ourselves and in eachother!!!

YAY!  Got some things to prepare for my liquid diet.  I am super excited as I like new things, lol.  Got a couple new toys~a food scale and a small blender thingie.  Fun fun fun!  Another week of loosing and gaining such is life at this moment in time but look out future cause here I come!  I worked out a few times this week at the gym and started to add in some weights now I am a bit sore.  I baked lots of pies this week in class and by the end of the week i was pretty much over it, lol, never thought I would say that.  I even brought one home and my husband and I looked at it and then I threw it in the trash.  So another week down almost two more to go till liquid time.  Take care till then!!!
