weighed in a day early!

I usually weigh in on Fridays, but sometimes I cheat, just to see where I am. Well I cheating last week and snuck a peek on Tuesday. Since the scale hadn't moved from last Tuesday to last Friday, I didn't write it down. Well my calendar was getting lonely so I weighed in a day early this week.

OMG, I'm down 107 pounds! I weighed in at 188 this morning! I haven't seen that since highschool! Holy Cow! Go Sarah!

Sweet Indulgence!

OMG, I looked today, and did you know that Sara Lee's plain frozen cheesecake bites have about a gram of sugar per bite!?!?! Me either, I totally bought some, took them home, and ate two! Is that cheating?

Hope you're all having a fabulous week! Sarah

hit the 100 pound mark!

I've hit, and passed, the 100 pound weight loss mark! Go me, yay! I've lost 102 pounds as of last Friday! I'm in a size 14/16 now. I'm super excited. I started out at 295 pounds and I'm currently down to 193 pounds! I'm posting pictures, finally. You've been asking for them, so I'm posting some. I hope you're all doing well, and I'm hoping to be online more often now that I have the internet again!

it's a love hate relationship

First, I'm loving my surgery! I've lost 90 pounds now! I don't SEE the difference, when I look in the mirror, but I'm in a misses size 16 now, which is stinking awesome. I look in the mirror and still see the fat chick busting out of her 22's.

Then, I'm hating my surgery. Less than half a dozen times I've gotten mad because I WANT to eat! It was a coping skill for me before surgery. So, when I'm stressed or upset, I WANT to eat. I don't because I know I can't. But a couple days ago I sat in my truck at Sonic and got rather ticked off because I couldn't order what I wanted. Instead I settled for snagging one of my friend's cheese sticks and pretending to be happy.

Anyway, things are going great. I've lost a BUNCH of weight, and I can shop on the misses side of the store again. Which happened to be one of my major goals with surgery. I hold up the size 16's I can wear now and still amazes me that something so small fits over my butt!

That's where I am now. My head has caught up to my stomach, but it hasn't caught up with the weight loss! Anyone have any idea when that might happen?

Miss you guys, hope all is well! Sarah

Sorry I've been gone!

Sorry I've been gone, my phone line's been down! This is the third time it's happened. I don't know what's going on with it.

That's all besides the point though. I got a job! Nothing special, but it keeps me on my feet 8 hours a day! My weightloss has picked back up.....BIG TIME.....since I started working! I'm really excited!

I weighed in today at 233! I'm down 62 pounds!

Today also marks my 9 week post-op!

So......GO ME!

Hope everyone is well! Sarah

100th post!

Wow, this is my 100th post!

I'm kinda in my second slump I guess. I seem to be stuck between sizes still, and I'm holding at a weight loss of 53 pounds. I'm starting my new job tomorrow though. I'll be on my feet 8 hours a day, does that qualify as exercise you think? I'm really excited about it. I finally feel more like myself. I don't want to just sleep all day.

My nutritionist called the other day. I had a really low protein lab and my potassium levels were a little low. They want me to get in 110 grams of protein a day, which sad to say, is NOT going to happen! I can't stomach those meal replacements anymore! I have to do Atkins and they don't taste too good to me either! Their bars are pretty good though!

Anyway, that's where I'm at now. Sorry I haven't been on much lately. It's been crazy busy around here! Love you guys, hope everyone else is doing well too! Sarah

Catching up!

I haven't posted in awhile, so I thought I'd catch up.

I thought was I was doing pretty good. Went to the doctor on the 27th, got my first B12 shot. Dr. Nealson was happy with the way things were going and I felt good. Still tired all the time, but I felt okay.

The 28th, I started to go off food and liquids. Nothing tasted good, nothing sounded good.

The 30th, I took a sip of water and dry heaved until it came back up. I hate throwing up, and dry heaving is just as bad! So I didn't really try to eat or drink anymore that day.

The 31st, I was getting gas, got me an ice water, sucked on a couple ice cubes. I felt good enough to brave a sip was water, til it came back up too. I called the doctor office and was told to go to the ER immediately. I tried to talk them out of it, but they weren't having it. So, I spent Friday night in the hospital. Got some anti-nausea meds, some fluids, and some vitamins.

Yesterday I was cleared to use a straw again. Apparently when I sip, I suck down way too much air, and that's most of the reason I never got very good at getting down my liquids. It was making me too uncomfortable!

Today I feel pretty good. I've got a little headache going on, so I might try a nap in a bit.....if my twins allow it, ha ha ha.

That's what's been going on here. Sorry I haven't updated in a bit, just been busy I guess! Sarah
