Topic: RE: 5 months ALREADY....wow
Katherine what's up girl. I really appreicate that your keeping tabs on all of us Nov 08 peeps.
Well, I was at a stall for about 4 weeks from Feb to March but it seems that everytime I go for my regular Dr. visit with my surgeon, my weightloss kicks in. So I am down another 11 pounds since March 13th.
I have been hitting the gym hard, VERY hard. I do spinning, weight training and regular cardio workouts. I get in most of my protein daily, I drink PLENTY of water and take my Vit's daily. Im down 92 pounds and 76 since surgery. Im working hard to hit my goal of 100 pounds by my 6 month mark on May 18th. Its looking like I might make it (hopefully).
I have to say that I feel so feminine and sexy since I have lost weight. I have so much energy and so much confidence. Oh, one of my goals is/was to shop in the regular woman's section of stores and I have met that goal. I wear an 18/20 pant and XL or XXL top. I have been wearing lots of skinny jeans and it feels awsome.
So with that being said, Im just working hard to keep my weightloss moving and staying motivated... Take care!

I was quite the shopper before, but now it's easier than ever since I fit into clothes in EVERY store (except Lane Bryant and the Avenue). Dresses are a favorite of mine, so yes, I've bought a lot of those for the summer (with cute little cardigans to keep me warm)
I am going to Orlando for vacation - i have friends that live there and I used to live in the Tampa Bay area, so it will be like "old home week" for me. I'll have to pick up some shorts/capris for the trip - hopefully i'll be down another size by then!
Bariatric Advantage products are formulated for better absorption by our pouches, and have calcium CITRATE chewables which most stores don't seem to carry. Those Viactiv chewies are not the right kind of calcium for us, and I thought it would be nice to treat myself to a "mint" or chocolate chewie every day that did something good for me rather than just swallowing another pill.

Topic: RE: what does a "normal" day of eating look like for you ???
For me I usually eat 5 meals a day. Two meals are Carnation Instant Breakfast/sugar free with added protein. The other 3 meals are usually cheese and crackers, cottage cheese and strawberries, and chicken salad with light Hellman's mayo on crackers. In total I probably consume between 800 - 1000 cals per day. I was nervous because I thought i was eating too much by what I see others posting at, but my dietitian said that it was fine. I do however exercise pretty intensely 5-6 days a week and burn 500 - 700 calories each workout.
I must say that i am bored, bored, bored of eating the same thing. My problem had been up until the middle of February that I could hardly keep anything down. They had to go in and stretch the esophagus some, and the honeymoon is ending and I feel like I could eat way more and that scares me. I am down 117 lbs as of Sunday, 5 months post op.

Topic: RE: How is your hair?
I always lose hair after surgery, but I keep my hair short so it's not really noticeable to anyone but me and only because I see it on my hairbrush. Although I noticed this morning that I was shedding on the cat instead of the other way around.
Topic: RE: 5 months ALREADY....wow
I'm wearing a lot of my mother's clothes and taking in the waistbands of my skirts at the moment. I can almost fit into my old summer shorts so I should be ok for the summer. I HATE shopping, especially for clothes.
Topic: RE: 5 months ALREADY....wow
30 lb was my goal back in January when I was still losing 5+ lb per month. At 2 lb per month I'm nowhere near my September 1st goal and barely halfway to my total goal. It's going to take a lot longer than anyone (especially me) anticipated.

What you eat in private, will show in public!!!
Getting close to being under 200 is definitely something to look forward to, I know I can't waite!!! I love new clothes, do you find yourself shopping more these days then before? I have been buying nothing but dresses b/c I find I can get more use out of them then a pair of shorts, jeans,etc... they seem to last longer & look better the more weight I loose...lol....
