Almost 2 months

Well, it has been a little while since I last updated all of you.  I apologize for not updating more often.  I am getting close to the 2 month mark after surgery.  As of right now I am down 47 pounds!!!  I am feeling great and have a lot more energy.  I am still not on a regular schedule with my exercising, but I am in the process of getting there with that.  

Today was my first day of classes at Massasoit Community College.  Wow, I'm an actual college student again!!!  I was really nervous heading to class this morning, but once I was in the classroom....it felt great!!!  I was really motivated and I'm really looking forward to this new chapter in my life. 

Now my mission is to get my schedule worked out between my classes, my exercise, and my home life.  It will be tough, but I am looking forward to it. 

I will try to keep you all updated more often.

Until next time.....

One Month Appointment

Well, I had my one month appointment and everything went very smoothly!  In fact, it went better than I had expected.  So when I started this journey, back at my first appointment on Oct. 6th, I weighed in at 246.3.   At my one week prior to surgery appointment I weighed in at 232.1.   As of yesterday Dec 5th, I weighed in at 209.7!!!  I have lost a total of 36.6lbs to date, and I have gone from a size 22/24 to a size 18/20!! 

I also got to start eating solid foods yesterday as well...which is quite interesting.  I am taking it very slow when I eat, and I also make sure that I get in all of my vitamins and supplements as well as my liquids for the day.   It is quite an experience learning to eat again, but I am seeing amazing results so I will not complain!!!!

Very tired right now, it has been a long day.  I will write more later.

Until next time....

Time Flies!!

Wow, I can't believe that as of tomorrow it will be 4 weeks since my surgery!!!  I am doing very well...I haven't posted in a few weeks.  I have my one month follow up on wednesday, so I will share more then.  I am waiting until that appointment to find out how much I have lost.  I refuse to look at a scale until then.  Right now, I'm still focusing on what I eat and making sure I get enough liquids in for the day.  

Other than that, I am doing fantastic!  I feel awesome!!!!! 

Okay, I will post again on wednesday :)

Well, I had my one week follow up yesterday. Dr said I am doing great!! My one week weight loss was 12.6 pounds!!!!! I now weigh 219.2lbs!! I feel great!!!

Day 4 Post Surgery

Well, so far it doesn't seem to be too bad.  I am starting to adjust to the new diet.  It's such a weird feeling, only eating 2oz of soft foods and being full!!!  I have been trying to get up and walk as much as possible without overdoing it.   I was very lucky, my best friend Sandy came up from Pennsylvania to help out with my son and me for a few days.  I couldn't have made it through the first few days without her!!!!!  My weight on my pre-op day was 232.2, and I am being very strict and not allowing myself to step on a scale until my first post-op visit on Wednesday December 15th.  

Thanks to everyone who reads this for giving me all of your support.

Until next time.....

I am officially getting sprung from the hospital!!!! The doctor said i am a model patient!!!! Yay :)
