Pic-a-tures and a quick update!!

Well, as of last week I have lost 40lbs. I had my 6-week post op appointment and my doctor says that I've done really well and he is very pleased with my weight loss.

I'll go three days and not loose a pound...sometimes even gain a pound or two...and then the next day I've lost three pounds. It's really quite crazy and doesn't make any sense but hey-whatever-I'll take it! :) I feel wonderful and have so much more energy than I used to. I am loving life!!

Eating is enjoyable again and I'm eating just about anything I want-the difference?....I'm only eating a fraction of what I used to. Pinterest has been a WONDERFUL resource for new recipies. My taste buds have changed and I'm trying different foods that I used to snub my nose at. I'm still somewhat picky but I'm slowly expanding my horizons.

It really looks like I eat all the time! Or at least I feel like I'm eating all the time! But not having much of a stomach to hold food I guess causes me to get full fast but hungry more often. I thought I was maybe doing something wrong but according to the doctor I'm doing exactly what I need to be doing.

I went to Walmart today and bought the "Shake Weight". My doctor told me that it's one of the best things to use to tone up your arms/shoulders so I'm gonna give it a go! I always thought it was a crazy idea but I'm excited to see if it works.


I'm ready to shake my way to firm & fabulous arms and shoulders in just 6 minutes a day!!

I'll close with a couple of recent pictures. The change in my face and mid section is amazing to me. I still have a long way to go but I'm gettin there! :)
