Hello All,
I wanted to post my 13 month before and after... I can't believe what a change.

I have been very bad at keeping my blog updated so here is the lowdown. I had a problem with craving sweets so I tried a small trick that seems to be working. I basically start the day off with high protein and for some reason that works. My weightloss has slowed down but hasn't stopped. I think I need to really start working my tool by eat higher protein and more water. I have also noticed my weightloss happens about two weeks out of the month and that two weeks usually falls two weeks after my period. During that time I am very hungry and thristy. I have also started add a little excerise mostly walking and stretching. The other thing I have been struggling with is my choice to have weightloss surgery. I am glad I had my surgery especially the DS but sometimes I get overwhelmed with having to remember all the vitamins,water and high protein. I have been pretty good with the vitamins and protein, But the water is hard for me in the winter time. I hope once it warms up I can get back on track. Other then that I had a great Easter and was glad I could play with my niece and nephews. I have a very active summer planned and I hope I can do everything I have planned. I will try and post as often as I can and put up some new pics.
Hugs

Hi Everybody,
This is my post for March 2007. I will be one year post-op on the 31st of March. I haven't have any major problems. I celebrated my year by going to Hawaii. I had a good time and was so happy to be able to walk around without back pain. I also fit in the airline seat with more then enough room. I can't believe just a year ago I wasn't able to walk more then 5 mins before I had horrible back pain. I just Thank god, My family and Dr B for this tool.
Love to all

Nov 7 month post
Nov 01, 2006
I had a great Thanksgiving! I was able to eat whatever my little heart desired. I had to pay a little afterwards for eating some of my friend Rebecca's Bread, but other then that I really enjoyed the holiday. My family and I had Thanksgiving at my friend LaVerne's house and she made a excellent meal. I'm so proud of her she is a very good cook and her homemade gravy was awesome. It was fun to actually help out with preparing the meals. Usually I just sit in the livingroom waiting for food, But I found that helping prepare the food actually kept me too busy to eat it. Also I'm happy to report I have lose another 5lbs this week and I am now down 105 lbs. Go Katie!!!!! I am now in a size 18 comfy and 16 tight, about 10 lbs and a 16 will be just right. I now am able to shop in the front of the store and it feel very strange to not go directly to the back of the store. I also posted some 7 month pics in my photo section please check them out.

Hi All,
I can't believe it's Nov already. Well i'm almost down to the century mark! I will be celabrating my birthday on monday the 6th. Happy birthday to me! Hopefully i'll be at the 100 lbs mark by then. What a great B-day present that would be. Well as far as things go, Everything is the same at home and work. I am hoping at the begin of next year I will have a new job and maybe be in "one"derland by then. I have been very good about hitting my goals except the exercise. I need to get to the gym more. Once again Bad Bad Katie. But as far as vitamins,water and protein I have been very good. I went to get my 6 month labs and will get results on the 3rd of Nov. Crossing my fingers they turn out well. I will send results to Dina my wonderful Ds angel and Dr B and have them go over them with me.
Hugs

Pre-op and 7 Months Post-op - 100 lbs

Hello,
So I am still holding onto 225 and can't seem to get
below that. I know it is one those dreaded plateau. I have been really good with my protein and supplement but could probably up my water intake.
I'm grateful to this site because it keeps me on my toes. I think about slacking then I read a post about someone who didn't take it serious and ended up having major problems. That scares me into being good. Now if only someone would say something bad about not going to the gym and I'd have it made...

Hello All,
Have been getting in all supplements and most of my water and protein. Protein is hardest without shakes. Maybe one day I will be able to do it without them. I just went to Marine world last week and have posted pic of Richard and I on an elephant and will post the rest as soon as he send them to me. I was so proud of myself for being able to last for 10 hours in the park and I only sat down about 5 times the rest was standing or walking. The best thing is I fit in all the rides.. Finally! I have wanted to ride roller coaster again for so long and it was a awesome moment and just think six months ago I could hardly stand or walk more then 5 mins then I would need to sit down. I use to have to have a game plan for the store because I couldn't stand that long. Now it take me forever to get in and out of the store because i'm looking at everything. The other good maybe bad thing is I get to go shopoing. I have been good at only buying clearence or on sale items and Ross has proved to be a good place to shop. I am down from a 26/28 to and 18/20 and 4x shirt to 1x. Yippy I love my Ds

Hi All,
It been 5 months and I'm down 90 lbs and doing great. I have to really start pushing myself to get to the gym though. Bad Bad Katie. Other then that I have been very good with all supplements,water and protein. I have been able to eat more and that makes getting protein easier. I plan on going to Magic Mountian in L.A next week I hope my body is up to it and I hope I fit in all the coaster. Will let you know how things go. Well speaking of having to go to the gym I'm off to meet my Mom. Thanks for reading my post.
Bye
Katie

Hello all,
I didn't make it to Magic Mountain so maybe next year when I know I will definitly fit in the rides. I have been working alot lately I hope to have some money save to be able to put a down payment on a car. For the time being my wonderful Mommy is letting me use one of her cars. Anyway I have been working on my story from my trip to Spain and will be posting it here as soon as I finish it. I also will try and update more often. I have been really going through some down times with depression. Feeling very sad and lonely. It's weird the more weight I lose the more I feel like I'm lose me. I have worn my fat so long as my identity I feel like now who am I? I am getting mad at men work who look at me and are nice to me. They were nice to me before don't get me wrong, but now there super nice. I know it's not there fault they weren't attracted to me at my heaviest. I just feel a little lost, actually kind of scared and I can't image every really being truly thin. So those are some of my random thoughts. I think I am going to go see someone if my depression continues. I know right now it is probably the quick weightloss that causing the depression and hopeful it will get better.
Hugs
Katie
