Update

Mar 23, 2014

So far I have lost 91lbs total (38 prior to surgery; 53 after) with 4 days left before my 3 month mark, I wonder what my Drs scale will say. I think mine is off by 4-5lbs. I'm happy about my weightloss, but I still see myself as I was in the mirror. I know I've lost the weight, I'm now in a size 22 down from a 32. I think I will begin to see a skinnier me when I get into an 16/18. I don't want to be supper skinny, and I will have tot have plastic surgery for the loose skin (hope insurance will pay for it).

Bigger question is am I happy? Yes! Was it easy? No. Do I crave sweets? Sometimes, just look for a better alternative to fix the cravings. Fullness? I get full really quickly. I have a 30 min. lunch and I eat in about 5 min. I don't eat to fast, I just fill-up quickly. Others tell me to take the whole 30 min to eat, but how can I when I eat about 3oz. It still takes me along time to get enough fluids down, and I dehydrate really fast. I don't have a job where I can sit and sip on water all day, so its really difficult to get the fluids in.

Lots and Lots has been changing in my life. I'm looking into joining the Air Force Reserves, when I'm down to an appropriate size. Also looking for a house. The thought of buying a house is more stressful than looking into the Reserves.

I'm going to a Nursing Conference at the end of March and hope that I won't have a problem with the airline seat. Flying Southwest! When I get back I'm changing shifts at work, more money and shift differential. I'm also looking into a Masters program in Nursing. Haven't figured which direction to go into, but looking.

I'll update my weightloss on March 27th (with my scale) and on April 4th (Dr. scale). Cross fingers hoping I can get down to 304 or 299.
