Today's Update

So to update you I had another awful episode that occured on friday 10/19- started around 2:30 pm and aggressivly got worse until around 4:00pm when my body finaly got the urge to vomit. About 10 minutes after I vomited I felt fine again! seriously that is just getting so annoying, this is the 3rd big episode since surgery 6 months ago.
remembering what I ate on Friday was Starbucks grande skinny vanilla latte (decafe) and for lunch had some home made chicken - and a snack size twix. that is all i was able to get down before the episode...
I weighed in again today at 178.2 another pound down from last week! Yaay

Here is a picture of me wearing leggings with boots for the first time EVER! this wasnt in style when i was in high school so I didnt wear it but now.. I just feel so comfy in it and love the outfit! (totally reminds me of that movie "the Nutty Professor" when he gets thin and yells "Spandex alllll Spandex" LOL

Just past 6 Month post op

Today I am just past my 6 month surgaversary! I feel wonderful, I am going to the gym now and really trying to stay commited to it! I am still in between sizes 12/14, the 14's are too big and the 12's are too small, so hopefully I will soon be able to wear that 12 comfortably!
I weighed in this morning at 177, (i usually weigh in during the evening time so i would say the weight may fluctuate this evening when I weigh in with my normal scale)

Thanks that i would have to say are getting tough! I am not able to eat whatever I basically want to, so now i have to learn and remind myself that eating what I use to eat is not good! I have been craving sweets latley and its driving me crazy, over all I am doing okay but if they are around I cant seem to pass on not eating them. My mental strength is just not there yet, so its so much easier when people just keep the sweet things away from me, but I know most people dont want to cater their lives to me, I just wish they would consider it (like my husband).. I hope I get through this phase and I hope I get stronger so that instead of just taking a bite I can avoid entirely....

My acid reflux is still a pain in my rear! every evening around 5-7 pm my tummy hurts. but its getting to be manageable but I just wish it would stop!! I am taking my prilosec again but still doesnt seem to help out in the evenings! I do drink coffee in the morning (decaf) and I heard that may be a reason why I am getting the pain, I didnt drink coffee yesterday and felt okay (maybe i should take that as a hint) I will start to shy away from the coffee and see if this helps out!

above is a picture to compare-- 1st shot- is day of surgery and 2nd pic taken 10/14 (6 months post op)

This picture shows the day of surgery, 3 month progression, and 6 month progression!

YAAAAY!!!!
