What a WOW moment!!
on October 26, 2008 8:38 pm
So I went shopping with my husband the other day.  My husband comes up to me holding a pair of "really small" jeans. He tells me "honey look at these", I started laughing  and told him no way those are to small for me. He insisted I go and try them on..Darn husband!! So reluctanly I went in the dressing room and tryed them on. Now in my head I was like "ya right these are not going to fit" So as I stuck one leg in and then the other I thought " wow these are really small" however still thinking "the true test will come when I try to pull them over my A$$. So I pull them up over my thighs and they were still moving up and OMG they went over my A$$. So then came the moment of truth. WILL THEY BUTTON??? As I am sucking my tummy in I think "ok if these button I am so dancing  out of this dressing room. Well lets just say I danced my "little" A$$ out of that dressing room, danced over to my husband and said "OMG you will never believe this these are a size 10.........  The moral of this wow moment is that I have not been in a size 10 since I was in 3rd garde.  Know that one day you too will be at a point were you can not believe you are buying such small sizes.

TEM MONTHS OUT...YIKES!!!
on September 11, 2008 9:52 am

Well its that time. I must update my profile since I haven’t since May……Wow I can’t believe how fast time flies. I turned 10 months old last Friday and am feeling like I am falling back into my old ways. It is really discouraging.  I find that I am hungry at night, so I find myself eating while I am in bed. I know this is the worst thing for me to do. This is an “old bad habit” I have fallen into. I must kick it!! I have not been going to the support groups like I use too so maybe that is why I am letting my “bad habits” come back. I have been lurking way too much on this board and not posting. “BAD ME!!” I know there is many newbie’s that need support advice and guidance. So I must get on the ball with that. As for my personal life it has been nothing less then crazy. I know that seems like always the case, but it really is. I have been feeling really depressed lately and overwhelmed.  I have thought about getting back on depression meds, but I really don’t want to do that.  My girls have started soccer so we are back on the soccer 4 days a week thingy again. I have started school and that is not going so well, I am feeling like I am going to fail. Anatomy is kicking my hinny and math I am doing ok in I just need to work on it more.

As for my weight loss, It has been slow and steady. I found that I was stuck on a stall for about a month and a half then I really started looking at what I was doing and changed it up a little. I wasn’t getting all my protein in everyday I was eating carbs and sugars like nothing and I wasn’t moving. So I really had a soul talk and went to the vit shop and got me a case of bullets and started everyday off with one of those and a glass of water, cut out most carbs and sugars and started walking at the girls practices instead of sitting. I also joined a softball team. Well I must say after 2 weeks the scale moved 8 pounds down. I was so happy. But now I am back on a stall again, I think it is because I have lost as much as I am going to loose. I mean I have lost 111lbs. So I can’t complain, well off to school now to study.  Until the next time I update everyone stay safe and keep that protein going in.

It's ok I can call myself a flake. It has been awhile since I have updated my profile so guess what today is the day to do so.....here goes......

I am now 6 months post op and  down 91lbs. When I started this journey (and yes it is a journey) I weighted in at a huge 260lbs Now at 6 months out I am 169. I never thought I would make it this far. I am so greatful to all the support I have and to the wonderful surgeon who gave me back my life. Much Thanks to Dr. Ali..YOU ROCK!!!  I can't wait to see what the next 6 months has in store for me.

4 months old
on March 5, 2008 2:22 pm
I have to say that I do not regret having surgery at all. This surgery has given me my life back and I could not be happier. So I am am 4 months out as of yesterday. I started this journey at 260 and as of yesterday I was 190 which means that 70 pounds is gone forever. NEVER to return. That means that I am 35 pounds from goal, which I must say I never thought I would get this far in such a small amount of time. Now I know that the last 35 pounds is not going to come off ez, but it will come off. I will see to it.

SO I have to share 2 WOW moments I have had in the past couple of days. The first one was yesterday, I was at school walking to my car with my backpack on my back and I went to pull up my pants that were falling,(cuz my big butt that was there is now gone) I figured out that my hips are the small size as my backpack. My hips were not wider then my backpack on my back. Then the second one was I went to dinner with my friends and my husband and we were walking to the door and there were our shadows on the ground. I couldn't see mine until my husband pointed out to me that  it was the skinny one. YAHOO!! I just wanted to start crying.

3 months out
on February 10, 2008 2:01 pm
I am about 5 days past being 3 months out, I know I haven't been the best at keeping my profile updated, but life has had many changes going on. As many of you know I got married on Jan. 24th. IT was a whirl-wind of a day. It was all so unplanned, but I won't have changed it for anything.  He asked me to marry him in Olive Garden on Wed. afternoon we went ring shopping after lunch, then we went dress shopping, then to dinner with my parents he proposed there. Then we went home, I got really sick with a staff infection so off to the ER we went got home at 12:30am went to bed got up at 4:30am drove to my BFF's house left for vegas at 7am Thurs. Got to vegas at 11am got married at 5pm and was back on the road home at 11pm that night. So it was a crazy, but happy day.

Now on to my WL, it has been really slow. This past month I really haven't lost anything weight, but I have lost alot of inches. My husband(wow that is so wierd to say) says my body is forming to my weightloss. I sure hope he is right. So here is the #'s My starting weight was 260, my current weight is 201. My measruments are as follows
Before
Arms 16
Chest 51
Waist 47 1/2
Hips 56
Thighs 28 1/2
Current
Arms 14
Chest 42
Waist 38
Hips 48
Thighs 23
I will post pics later, but that is it for now.
