Update on me!
Good Morning Everyone,
Just thought that I would pop in and give an update on me!
I had to break down yesterday afternoon and ORDER CLOTHES! I can’t
believe that the clothes that I have been wearing for years are just
swimming on me. I also realized that I bought things too big
sometimes on purpose to hide the fact that I was so overweight. I
actually called my husband to make sure that he was okay with me
spending that kind of money. He laughed. He told me that he knew that
I was needing things but had to make that decision for myself. So I
ordered 3 fleece type shirts, 4 pairs of comfortable pants and 2
bras. It is a start. I know that I will be shopping again in the
spring, but for now this is a good place to begin.
Another note. I stepped on my scale here at home this morning and I
am down 6 more pounds in a week! So that puts me at 40 pounds lost
since surgery and 76 lost since May of 2002. I only have 24 more
pounds until I have lost my first 100 pounds. I really would like to
be at 396 for January 1, 2003! I can do this!
I am so pleased with how well I am doing. It is a learning curve but
I am learning how to make better, more healthy choices for me. Only
problem is that I am cold all the time, but there is a reason for
that, my metabolism is turned up so high right now that my body is
having a hard time regulating my internal temperature, but that is a
small trade off for how good I am feeling!
Hugs to everyone!

Hi Everyone,
I have written in awhile so I thought I would share how I have been doing. I
have wanted to respond to so many emails but by the time I read them, 3 or 4
people have already respond. I love how this groups stays active. Your
responses and posts have been very appreciated and have helped me with many
things.
Well today it has been 10 weeks. I am feeling good and have been for almost a
month now. I am swimming almost 4 to 5 times a week. Started that two weeks
ago. I am starting to feel some slight pain, well not pain but strain in the
muscles I haven’t used in awhile. It feels great though because I feel like
everyday my body is getting strong and I feel better. The eating part is still a
process but I feel like I am doing better. I finally found a protein that I can
handle. So I have been taking protein drinks 3 times a week. Hopefully helping
with my protein intake. I am doing good with most foods. I have thrown up a
few times either because I didn’t chew enough or I ate to much. Trying to be
more cautious of that and so far its getting better. I have a hard time with
chicken unless it has something on it to make it going down easier..like chicken
salad or chicken with some kind of sauce. I do really well with sea food which
I am happy about because i love it. Vegatables
are still difficult but getting better. I have had a little potato but rice
and pasta I stay away from. To me its just wasted room.
Anyways, after all this progress I m down 53lbs since surgery. I am very happy
and I m hoping my exercising increase will increase my weightloss. If not, I am
prefectly happy with how I am doing. I hope everyone elses experience is going
well or getting better. Believe me it does, my first month was not this
easy..just take it day by day. I wish everyone the best. Good Luck to all post
and pre ops.
