I don't know what's wrong with me, I just feel BLAH.

Ya know what, that's not even right.  I DO know what's wrong with me.  A couple weeks ago, I lost 8lbs in one week.  I was on top of the world.  Then it screeched to a halt with the arrival of Aunt Flo.  After she left, my weight loss is still in Park!  I'm now in the middle of the 3rd week with no weight loss and it's getting a bit depressing. 

I know it's just a little stall and the weight loss will get going again soon.  But do you ever think...What if it doesn't? 

So that's what rolling around in my head right now.  What if I fail?  I have failed every other time I have tried to lose weight.  So why not this time too?  Just because I messed around with my insides?  That's why I will succeed this time?  Really?  But I'm still the same person who lost weight on every program and diet out there and proceededto gain it all back plus some.

Sorry to lay this on you, but you understand what I'm going through.

WTG!!!  I've been feeling more bones lately too.  Weird!  Boo on not dumping!  Maybe it just hasn't kicked in yet.

I guess that ticker is broken, because I can't see it!  But I know I like what it says!  You are doing a fabulous job!!!

GOOD for you Julie!!....the compliments are would keep you focus.. let's you know you are doing an awesome job!!

I'm doing great.  I've had no problems with any foods I've tried so far but I haven't really tried anything with large amounts of sugar in it and I don't plan on it!  Chicken is fine, steak is fine, salad is fine.  I haven't had protein shakes regularly in awhile and my protein intake is lower than I'd like so I need to kick that up again.  I'm good about my vitamins except for the calcium, but I finally found some chewables that should make getting it in easier.

I'm feeling a whole lot better.  It's easier to move.  I've lost 101lbs since I first started my pre-op diet and 60lbs since my surgery date.  I can wear pants as small as a size 22 (down from a 34!)  My bra band size went from 54 to 44 but I haven't lost a cup size.  I have really thick hair so the hair loss isn't noticeable to anyone but me, but I know it's happening.  I haven't been exercising regularly, but I plan on rearranging my schedule to allow time for that as soon as I'm done with this semester of school.

One funny thing that I've noticed since dropping the 100lbs..I get better gas mileage in my car!  I have to drive 40 miles roundtrip daily for work and it's always just me in the car, so I know that has to be from the weightloss.
