Journal: Nearly 3mos. Post Op....

It's been WAY too long since I last blogged....
I've been here and there...we are soooo busy with our move I can hardly believe it!!
The best part of it all is it keeps my mind off of what is actually happening with my weightloss...I just take it "day to day" - as I am forced to take everything else.
As of today I'm 65# down...and am feeling sooo great. I am amazed at the speed in which my weight is coming off...but, soooo thankful. I'm sooo glad I had this surgery! This picture is a comparison....Left is my "last supper" pic...and the other was taken about a month ago at my cousin's wedding. I had lost about 50# there. I haven't had another recent face shot...but, I suppose since my 3month anniversary is this week I'll be taking some more pictures....
I'll try not to be sooo lame in posting in the upcoming days and months...

Tiff's wedding....

Loved it...we had sooo much fun!

So did my daughter...she's just sooo tired from all her "flower girl duties...and dancing!

Sugar Free Candy????

Another disappointment.It did satisfy the sweet tooth...but in NO WAY was I desiring to eat the entire bag like I've done in my past.....They were just, "OK"....and I am not tempted....it's really weird how my tastes are changing....I know all of you warned me this would happen...but, it's a bit freaky!!
I did "creatively" eat SUSHI finally while in NYC this week. (for those who don't know...rice is off limits for about a year...b/c it expands in your tummy after eatting and can stretch out your pouch and/or make you very uncomfortable/sick).....I've been wanting it sooooooo much, and if you've ever been in NY, you'll know that there is a place to eat SUSHI everywhere!!!! Finally I decided that I'd get the sushi plate....and cut open the rice/seaweed paper part....and eat the insides....just eating a little portion of the rice. OH!!! LOVED IT!!! And didn't get sick - this was soooooo exciting!
AND I DID NOT OVEREAT!!!

Krispy Kreme Donuts....

Ok.....My uncle just brought 2 doz. Krispy Kreme hot donuts into our lodge...and coffee is brewing....

Oh, I'm trying to convince my hubby to go get one...and let me have the smallest bite. OH....have I told you I've been dreaming of Krispy Kremes??

Oh my they smell sooo good!! OKAY...he finally did.....and I took a tiny bite.....WOW! Soooooo amazing for the bite...and as I was chewing and it got mushy - not so great.

This makes me wonder....hmmmmm? Have I really ever ate a Krispy Kreme donut....I think I've always inhaled them.....wow. It tasted greasy...not so good...and the sugary tast went away...I really hope that it was not a lot of sugar.... that bite was not worth it AT ALL!!!!

If you are losing weight....

What are the things you "Can't wait for?"
I have a short list started in my mind...but, I'm sure everyone can relate to this...and there might be some on your list that I'm excited about for me to.....I'd love to hear what you are excited about for your WL....So....here are mine in no particular order:

• Crossing my legs
• Seeing my face again...the thinner heart-shaped face...
• wearing my size 14 bootcut, mid rise jeans. (I'm saving them...and love them...)
• fitting in a roller coaster ride
• Making my "Wedding Weight - 220#"
• Making my "10 year reunion Weight - 183#" (5# less than my graduation weight)
• Wearing some of the 'coolest' clothes I've designed...they are all about sizes 10-14.
• Creative Hanky Panky...LOL!!
• Going to the park with my daughter w/o the fear of not being able to catch up w/ her if I need to...
• walking up stairs and not getting "out of breath"

So....what about you??
