Update: This morning I was down to 179.4!! I met my next to last goal on New Years Eve!! This was the goal I made to be happy with my decision to have the surgery (100 pounds lighter). Being only 5 months out I can't wait to see how much more I loose!! Hope everyone has a great New Years and everyone meets their goals!!

I drink slim fast high Protein. They have 20 grams and taste really good. I have some extra skin but that is expected since you loose so much weight. Mine is not too bad though. Exercising is the key. I don't go overboard and live at the gym or anything. My pain wasn't too bad. I was only on the pain meds for a day or two after coming home from the hospital. Just don't get frustrated. There will be times when you wonder if it was the right call to go through with it and there will be foods that just don't agree with you but it is all worth it in the end. I was scared too but I just kept telling myself I am doing this for my health and for my family so I could be the best mom and wife I can be.

Update: As of this morning I was down to 173.4 lbs!! I am 5 1/2 months out. That's 107 lbs from my highest weight. I am loosely wearing a size 14 pants and size large shirt. I haven't worn a size 14 pant since I was 16 years old!! So excited to keep going. Thanks everyone for the positive comments and support. It really keeps me on track.

Well its almost time for short season. Had to go and get some shorts and tank tops. I haven't been able to feel comfortable wearing shorts and tanks tops for sooooo long. Now I'm excited for warmer weather. As of this morning I was down to 158.4. I am only 8.4 pounds away from my goal weight of 150 and I'm only 8 months out!!! Of course if I loose more that's ok too.

I never wear shorts in public. I wonder if that will change once I lose weight.
