My first WOW moment!

It is my first wow moment! I have been doing really good to only weigh myself on Monday's. This morning I got on the scale and about fell right back off! I have met my first personal goal of weighing under 200 pounds!! I stepped off and got right back on to make sure the scale didn't change it's mind. but it didn't.This was a very awesome way to start the week. Today is my 8 week anniversary and I am down 51.2 pounds. WOW!!! In other news, we have our house for sale and someone finally came to tour it today. I am hoping my good fortune spreads into this part of life too! Tomorrow I have an appt with the dietician. She was unhappy with my protein/calorie/ fluid intake at my 6 week checkup, so I have to go back. I found a really good website called calorielab.com that will tell you how much protein is in just about anything. This has been really helpful for me to watch my own intake. food has been going very smoothe for me, except today I ate some deli meats at work and before I knew it No such thing as eating on the run anymore. I get too rushed sometimes still. Well, just wanted to share with you all. Have a wonderful week! Nicole

Nicole, Way to Go isn't life grand You can't in your wildest dreams imagine what life will be like after WLS even when others tell you what they went through. Until you live it, it doesn't become real. I am so Happy for you. It just will keep getting better and better. You have done amazing. Keep up the good work and I would bet your dietician will be happy with your tracking your protein intake also. Good luck with selling your house, my kids are trying to sell theirs also they only have 2 months to get it sold or they will have to make double payments (they bought another one this week) Scares me to death. I hate moving so I won't envy you that job. I have 2 kids moving in the next 2 months, I am glad they are coming closer to home but I don't look forward to helping them. Eat slowly and chew chew chew. Good luck with all you have going and we will wait to hear your next update. Cindy G.

This is a great milestone for you! CONGRATULATIONS! Under 200- I am so close but the scale does keep changing its mind on me. One day I am 201 then the next 203 then 202- starting to doubt that I will ever go below 200!!! If I do, I am going to stop stepping on the scale for a good long time so it can't change its mind again!! I will have to check out that website that can tell you protein counts. I usually BARELY get my protein in. I am supposed to have 60 grams a day and I range between 55-65 so I am really on the line!! -Nan

Way to go!!!! Under 200 is awesome, it was one of my biggest goals, and most exciting! I hope your house sells and the pounds keep coming off.......Take Care and CONGRATS again jesi
