1 Month Out

Hi Everyone!

Well Kathy and I are doing great. I am down to 298 as of this morning, an overall loss of 55lbs and 45 since the day of surgery. Kathy is down to 196 which is down 26lbs since the day of surgery! We are finding we can eat pretty much most foods, nothing has had any omg moments. We both have had a couple, ok that was one or two bites too much! But other than that it has really been smooth sailing. Her blood pressure and blood suger are great numbers and she is off all meds for those things. Both of us are doing well on endurance at work ect. I find on the days I have to go up and down the ladders inside the ships I get a little more tired but each day is getting better.

We went to the fair last night and where we would have wanted all the "good" fair food in the past, it was soooooo easy to just walk on by this year! I did get myself one treat a hawaiian ice. Thought it might be too much sugar but went down fine and no after effects. This morning the scale seemed to agree as I lost a full pound from the day before!

We have our next Dr appt in two weeks almost excited to go to show him how good we are doing.

Hope all is well with all of you and if you are still thinking about it, GO FOR IT!!:001_smile:

AWESOME! I'm so happy to hear this update. Hubby and I went through a few "that was one bite too many" moments in the first month also. You learn... it pretty much never happens anymore. Your carnival fair story is exactly what this is all about. We are learning to enjoy life without FIXATING on food!! It's sooooo freeing. You guys are doing great, keep it up!!! Pictures????????

Nice job to both of you! I can already see the potential for having those Fair moments myself. My partner got a scoop of ice cream, and I had no desire for some. We started laughing because I told her this was a "virgin" moment for us. In the past I would have wanted my own, or if I was dieting would have had a mini temper tantrum that I could not have it. Yesterday my response was a "meh looks ok, but nothing special".

You guys are an inspiration, keep it up, and congrats on the losses.
