I know it has been a while since I have been on here…
I hit a slow patch over the last month. I was at the same weight (196) for almost a month. It was very depressing. I stepped back and had to evaluate what was wrong and I realized…. I WAS SNACKING TOO MUCH…
Well, I corrected that behavior and now I have started loosing weight again. I am almost at my 90lbs mark…
So glad my weight loss has Picked back Up

So I finally hit my 80 lb mark this morning…
It has been a long hard month… I have had to fight hunger, cravings, and hormones…lol… I thank God that it is over… I have only lost 10 lbs in the last month. That is not too good… I need to kick start my weight loss again so I am starting 2 exercise programs… One is in the mornings with my sister… The other is more serious. It is P90X. Ricky and I will start it tonight. It is very intense. I pray that God give me the strength to accomplish it

Yesterday was Mother’s day. Ricky took me to a WNBA game then out to eat… I cheated a bit on my food choices. I had 3 fried shrimp and 4 french fries…lol… I know it is not much but my tummy did not like it very much… That is not even the worse part… I went to sonic and had 6 bites of a Jr. Sundae…lol…
It was all very good. I felt bad for a while but I realized that everyone needs a cheat day… Even Gastric Bypass patients 
weight as of today 208.2

I stepped on the scales a moment ago and weighed 209.4 lbs… I can not believe it… I can not wait until I am below 200… which will not be long… GO ME
At my highest weight I weighed 289 lbs and to think about that now creeps me out…. But I am on the road to a new life for myself and I am Happy about it Thank You Lord

I can not believe it but when I weighed this morning I weighed 228.8
It has been so long since I have been this size. It is such a wonderful feeling to keep seeing that number go down. It is hard but I know that I can do it…
The cravings have come back when my monthly visitor comes, and they are hard to resist but I am learning how to snack smarter when I can not resist a snack.

I hit my 50 lbs mark on March 11th… I am so happy about it.
I saw some pictures of myself that were taken about 2 yrs ago… I almost started crying. I was shocked :0
I now know that I did make the right choice about having surgery. Loosing weight is hard, even with this surgery. I pray that God continues to bless me in making good decisions and be with me on this journey.

I officially hit the 40lb mark today… I weighed in at 243 lbs…
I had been stuck between 244 and 245lbs for almost 2 weeks… That was very depressing :/ But hopefully I am back on track now. I wish the weather was nicer so I could get ouside more. I have been a little depressed and the sunshine makes me feel better. I have been drinking more and trying to get more protein in but it is still hard. I bought some protein supplement powder but have not got the nerve to drink it yet…lol… the other stuff has damaged me… God help me it was NASTY…LOL…
I go back to the dr on March 1st. I am hoping to lose 5 more lbs by then

Today I woke up drained of energy… I will be so glad when I get some engery back… People keep telling me it takes a while for your body to recover after major surgery but I think I should be getting back to normal soon… At least I hope.
I still find it hard to eat. I just have no desire and it is more like work than anything else. Drinking has improved but I still struggle with it. I use to love to turn up a cold drink and gulp it down. Now I can not do that. Everything has to be in small sips. When I do get thirsty I forget sometimes and take a drink… It hurts so bad… My chest feels like someone kicked me in it…
I am doing good at loosing weight. I go to the Dr on Wed.
