Okay February Surgery Peeps...Finally!

Finally, I say...people are noticing!  I am now down 35lbs and people are noticing on a regular basis that I am losing weight!  This is so motivating!  I started water areobics last week and am actually enjoying it!  It truly is an amazing workout...3 days a week and lots of walking too...Today, my thoughts are...I CAN DO THIS!  Anyone else feeling a little yo-yo'ish with the whole emotional piece of this...one day I am so frustrated, then I get pumped!  Whew!  That can be tiring in itself!  Congrats to all on your weight loss, imagine if we added up all the weight lost amongst us in February!  CRAZY, I bet!  Yay US! 

Shelly, you should check out my blog, I was downish yesterday i have been sitting at 390, for about a week, and i was explaining how frustrated i was, and hoped that i would wake up and be down to at least 389, surely this morning i was down by 2 pounds. Yes its frustration, the mind races and thinks the most stupiest things.... its one emotional rollercoster............. i guess we are both hanging!

It's a great feeling when others start to notice and comment. I find it keep my motivation going. That's great that you're doing water areobics!! I did it through my pregnancies and loved every minute of it. I wish I could go back to doing it but their water areobics schedule and their childcare schedule don't match up :(

The local store clerk that checks me out on a weekly basis, said, "WOW! I can really tell you are losing!"  I have confided in her about my WLS, so she has been watching me.  That was a great morale booster!  Also my DDIL said basically the same thing.  She is a little thing and weights maybe 110, a fitness instructor, so she is really supportive of the exercise element, especially. 

What I am having trouble with lately is NAUSEA.  Seems like for the last week, I have had nausea everyday.  Nothing sounds good to eat, but I am forcing a least one protein shake a day, although I feel sick afterwards.  Anyone else?  And the nausea keeps me from much exercise.  I sure hope it gets better.
