9 Weeks Still Amazed And Tickled Pink

Wow it has already been 9 weeks and I still marvel at the changes my body is taking on. I weighted in this morning at 280.6 that is so awesome that puts me down 56.4 lbs. WOW. I have lost 23 inches over all and am feeling so wonderful (other than a stupid cold right now).   The doctor told me not to except large weight loss numbers now that I am further out but they keep coming off and I am so thankful for that.   I am still off all medication until the 16th when I see the heart doctor. I don't feel like I need them anymore but that will be up to him as to weather I get to stay off them. I feel great even while at the gym. So I am keeping my fingers crossed and praying for good news Thursday.   I have only one regret in all of this is that my mom can't be here to see it.   I wish I would have had the sleeve done years ago it would have saved me so much grief over the past years.   Step by Step Day by Day with Jesus is all I can hope for. I thank Him for so much and for making it possible for me to have this surgery.   Oh yeah this is such ego boosting for me, I bought a dress last year for Valentines Day through a catalog. When it got here they had sent me a size 22, no way was I going to fit in that thing being at a size 28. I didn't even send it back I was so upset. I just hung it in the deepest corner of my closet and forgot about it. Today looking for something to wear that didn't fall off, lol, I noticed it hiding there, so I took it out and laid it on the bed. Yeah right, I though, that thing is still way to small for me. I kept staring at it. Oh what the heck I tried it on laughing the whole time but slap me silly it fits and fits good. Will wonders never end, I hope not.   Have a Happy Valentines Day and Good losing all.

8 Weeks Out And Doing Great

I had my check-up in Vegas this morning and most of it was really good. According to their scale I weight 290 but that is good 47 lbs for their records. I still like my scale better 285 this morning = 52 lbs lost.   Was given my card to show the buffet cashiers so I don't get charged a ton. Was cleared to do what ever I want and eat what ever I want (except soda). I don't have to go back for 3 months YEAH!!!!   Picked up a few snack bars and some more hot coco yummy.   It was a good trip all in all.   On the down side I was told I wasn't eating enough calories he wants me at 1000 to 1100 calories a day (instead of 600-900). I will give it my best shot.   Happy Journey trails for all.

7 Weeks Post Op

I can't believe it has only been 7 weeks since VSG and still feeling good. I have lost 48 lbs and my inches have been changing every where on my body. I had appointment with prime doctor this morning and not real happy about the results. He wants me to start taking some of my meds again, and I don't think I really want to. I feel great with out them. I have been called a Biatch more lately and my moods do swing quite a bit but all in all I feel much better. He is sending to me to the heart doc because heart rate was high today (107) and he wants me to take the plavix, guess I'll have to wait and see. He also wants me to start back on lexapro (liquid form) (antidepressant) not sure about that, scares me a little. Oh well people will just have to deal with the REAL me (biatchy) and HEALTHY heheheheheh.   The gym will soon be open and I can work out with my daughter after she gets off work, I am looking forward to this. It has been along time since we have had mother daughter time it should be a hoot. Walking is good I'm up to a block and a half now and punching bag is still 20 minutes every other day. I have noticed the more I work out the more sleep I get. I was averaging about 4 hours or less a night, now I get any where from 6-8 hours of good sleep so awesome.   I don't really have a lot to complain about, but I do have a lot to be Happy about.   Thank God for all His love and care that He put into this body, now I just need to get it back into that shape and keep it healthy for the rest of my life.   Thank you all for your support and well needed advice I truly do appreciate each and everyone of you.   My wish for each and everyone of you is Happy Journeys and Great losses.

1 Month Post-Op

Today marks 1 month to date Dec 12 - Jan 12, and I have lost 43lbs(337/298) and 9.75 inches.   The last time I took any of my daily medicine (10 pills and 1 shot) was the day before surgery. The purple pill included (Nexium).   I love reading what everyone else is going through because it does help me and some of it I can relate to. Thank you all for your important input sincerely.       I am so thankful for all of you and your comments on this site. May God keep and bless you on your path to weight loss.   Char
