I got my pics up (on LBT, you have to be a friend to see them), and it made me realize i need to not delete any pics that someone happens to snap of me ( i didn't have many from surgery to now! I'm always behind the camera and hide from it the rest of the time!).


I ended up calling the Dr. because of being tight. it did losen some though. I was able to eat turkey chili yesterday and had my shakes just fine. i was only able to eat less than a 1/2 cup at a time but they said that was fine. i question it because only eating that much and only eating 3 times a day, there is NO WAY of getting the calories they recommend in. although, i'm not hungry if i drink water in between. yesterday, i also added a protien drink in between because i would have had less than 500 calories!

I'm doing MUCH better with the snacking (NOT doing it!). it had gotten way out of hand, and i cannot let myself do that!

since my period stopped, i have had a migraine EVERYDAY! boo hoo.... i even went to my regular Dr.'s office yesterday to let them take my blood pressure JUST incase that was the problem. it was fine, a tiny bit elevated for me, but the migraine probably was the cause. I pray it doesn't come back today.

we are going out of town Sunday night. Spending the night at my parents, spending Monday with a friend of mine that lives out of state but is coming into town to visit her family. i haven't seen her since i was preggo with the littlest one (he's almost 2 now). we will leave the littles with my parents, the older boys will go to thier dads, and hubby and i are going spend the night in New Orleans...alone! WOO HOO! we are staying right next to CHEESECAKE BISTRO! YUMMY! i told hubby i will order a piece of cheesecake as soon as we get there since it will probably take me 2 days to eat ONE piece! LOL we will be doing lots of walking, so i'll walk it off, not concerned about that! i also checked for a curves and while hubby does a webinar, i will go work out (if i can get to the curves without getting lost or scared to walk N.O. alone! LOL)

yesterday hubby ordered me 2 bikinis from VICTORIA SECRET! they were having a clearance sale on them, plus i had a code for more off, so they were SUPER CHEAP! he was going to get 3 but by the time we went back to order them, they had sold out of the top on one of them. I went with Medium (i find they run small) knowing right now it's NOT going to fit. My plan is when i go for my consult with the PS, i will have a guide of where i want my scar to fall (hiding it under a swimsuit will be my goal). we have a boat, and i dream of the day to wear a bikin PROUDLY riding out on the front of the boat, without worrying about hiding when we passed other people (some skinny minny 20 something year old!) watch out cause next summer i WILL be sitting out on the front of our boat in my itty bitty bikini catching some sun!

and last but NOT LEAST.....i have lost FIFTY POUNDS! i had hoped by the 5th month to lose 50, and i did it already!

2 pounds to get to the 130's
18 pounds to have a normal BMI-no longer overweight
21 pounds to get to my goal
then i will see how much more i want to lose.

i will make my PS consult when i get to 120. that will give me a few months to lose more if i want to or the surgeon thinks the results will be better!

Wanna B thin again...is almost there!
