Its amazing, I never thought I would be happy to be obese. Finally not morbid obese just obese. Today I weighed in at 205lbs thats 47lbs since surgery and 67lbs total. I feel amazing. I love to exercise and do outdoor activities, I never did before. My life is so different in a matter of 3 months. I'm only sorry I didnt do this sooner, I feel like a completly different person.

Today I did something that I never would have considered 9 weeks ago. I actually completed the 5 mile course for March of Dimes. 5 miles I cant believe it. It was easier than I thought it was gonna be. I was sore and needed a nap but I did it. I am so proud of my daughter, she also walked and completed the course. It took us 1 hour and 15 min. I thought that was really good time. I cant wait till next year.

I stepped up my exercise yesterday and joined Curves. I loved it. I'm walking for 30min 2x aday and going to work out at curves for 30 min. I'm hoping to work out 4days a week but I'll be happy with 3.

Today I am 8 weeks post op and doing great. I know weigh 219lbs and am in a size 18. I cant believe it. I have so much energy and I just feel so good. I am so glad I made this decision. I am doing a 5 mile walk this weekend for the March of Dimes. 5 miles what am I thinking?

Today I am 7 weeks post op and doing great. I have lost 29lbs as of today since surgery and a total of 50lbs from the begining of my journey. I am happy with my weight loss but I read some of the other posts and I feel I might not be keeping up with the rest. Oh well, 50lbs I'll take it.

Today I bought a bike, and believe it or not I remembered how to ride. My butt hurts a little but it was worth the fun. I watched my niece today and my daughter and I took her to the park and played like kids. I actually fit on the slide. The park was crowded but I didn't care how dumb I looked I rode the slide with the kids.

I have decided to throw that evil scale out. Everytime I go in the bathroom I have to weigh myself and I think I am going to need medication if I do it one more time. My weight is up and down so much I hate it. I know I am loosing because my cloths are getting bigger by the second but that darn evil scale is always calling my name. So out it must go. I am down a total of 49lbs including the lbs I lost prior to surgery and I feel great and I almost dont want to say it out loud, but I think I am actually noticing the weight loss.

Today I did something I never thought I could do. I jumped on my daughters trampoline. It was so much fun. My legs are screaming and I got tired really fast, but I did it. This is the best feeling in the whole world. I feel like I have all this confidence I didnt have before and I really like it. I wasn't going to mention this, but what the hay. Today in the grocery store I actually got hit on. I didn't know what to say or do. I was so flattered. I feel alittle guilty, I have a boyfriend of 13 yrs. I have to admit I hope it happens again. I feel on top of the world today. Everyday brings something new and I am so glad I had this surgery.

I had my one month post op visit with my surgeon and lost another 11 pounds that makes 21 and 21 prior to surgery so thats a total of 42lbs. He said I was doing great. I am able to experiment with food alittle now. I have started exercising and I have to admit, I am feeling much better. I look forward to my walk everyday, I call it me time. My cloths are starting to look big on me and my ring is swimming on my finger. I dont think I have felt this good in years. I go back in june for my 3 month post op visit and hopefully the scale will move alot more. I just found out I am going to Myrtle Beach at the end of June and I would love to be able to wear a bathing suit or at least some shorts that look like they belong on my body and not my grandmother.(I love you Gram). Not only does my body feel good but my attitude is so much better. I am getting up in the morning ready to face the day instead of counting how many more hours till I can sleep again. I hope to rent bikes with my daughter on vacation and enjoy Myrtle Beach.

Today was my post op visit with the surgeon. I have lost 10 pounds. I am happy with that number i cant remember the last time I was in the 240's. The staples came out thank goodness. I dont think I could have lasted much longer with those things pulling on my skin. The doctor bumped me up to phase 3 moist foods for 2 weeks then I can introduce new foods one at a time very slowly. Since I have started my journey I have lost 31 pounds and I kindda see things changing, my ring is so loose on my finger and driving me crazy and my underwear are very loose. I go back to work next Thursday and I am really not looking forward to that. It was nice to have some time off of work. Oh well, there is still vacation time to look forward to.
