December, 2008 (Day of Surgery)May 2009
My baby, Kaitlyn, will be one June 6th! OMG!
Well, I think I am at the sweet spot. I went in for a fill last Sunday and I am tight again. I really can only eat a few bites then I get that feeling that the next bite I take it will get stuck. At first, on Monday and Tuesday I was eating too fast and thinking I needed to eat more than I did. So everything was getting stuck. Off the the bathroom to make it come up. I am at a restriction level that I have to follow all the rules. Before with little or minimal restriction I could eat a lot and anything like pasta and rice. Well, now instant stuck feeling. It makes it so easy not to eat. I am not hungry either after I am done. Then later I will have another bite or two. Done. So wierd that now it's finally working. I have been at a plateau for weeks. Now this week I am down 5 pounds. I am really excited. On Sunday I talked to my dr. about a tummy tuck. He said after I lose about 25 more pound and we can take another look and see what needs to be done and when. To reach my goal I have 45 more pounds. Remember I am a shorty at 5'1". I posted my latest progress pic taken 2 weeks ago so I have been banded 5 months I wore my hair curly that day.
On Thursday I go get my varicose veins lasered away. I can't wait. The dr. does one leg at time and with a week in between. After each leg is done I have to wear support hose for a week after. Lovely, but worth it. These are the grossest legs ever. I can't wait. I might feel confident enough to wear shorts or skirts again. Another goal I have is to wear sleaveless shirts. I hate showing my arms.
Today I will be organizing our house to get ready for our kids' birthday party in 2 weeks. Since they are 3 days and 2 years apart in age we are having a combo party. Yes, Wall-E meets the princess:))))) So I have to get things in order. Everything is scheduled and ordered minus the cake. We are having it catered by a "Taco Man". They come and grill 3 kinds of meat and bring all the stuff for tacos. MMM... (if it weren't a kids party I would have the "Margarita Man" bring his machine:) I am excited to celebrate our kids and with family and friends. Having it a week later than planned turned out to be a good thing.
Thank GOD for my mom. She is a blessing. When ever we need another pair of hands she is here to help. It seems on the weekend Tim and I are trying to do our house stuff, cleaning, fixing and stuff but one of us needs to watch the kids. Usually me. I love playing with my kiddo don't get me wrong but stuff needs to be done that only I do or I do faster than Tim.
Have a great day everyone!!!!!
Hi Michele!! You look fantastic!! You can totally tell the weight loss in your before and after pics. Good luck with the vein surgery. I can't wait to see your next picture in shorts and show off those legs!! I'm kind of where you are, although, i'm sure you already know from reading my post. I'm at total restriction, but still not dropping like I should. I feel I can hardly eat also, but the bummer is, the weigt is not coming off like I feel it should. I guess I need to be patient.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the yellow shirt! i was wondering how you were doing bc you havent posted much lately! Apparently you are doing fantastic! Why the tummy tuck? Do you have that much extra skin from the weight loss or is it bc of the babies? I think that someday it will be in my future also...
ReplyDeleteWOW!! You look fantastic! I'm surprised to hear that you still have 45 to goal because you look so thin and pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool that you are doing a boot camp too. I really love it, and I completely agree with you about the group dynamic. Everyone is really supportive and encouraging.
Yesterday, for the first time, I wasn't the slowest runner in my group, which felt really good. I can already tell that I'm getting stronger.
I'm interested to hear what the laser surgery is like and if it hurts . . I have a few spider veins that I'd love to zap.
Have a great time at the party! Thanks for the long comment on my blog today -- I really enjoyed reading it. :)

You look wonderful. Keep up the great progress.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful! And I love the WALL-E & Princess party... my daughter is having a princess pajama party in 2 weeks! Good luck, and keep us posted on the laser surgery!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to thank you for over a week now for the nice comments you made on my blog...although I think you may need your eyes checked bc beautiful I am not...perhaps cute :)...but I will take the compliment! thanks for telling me why you will need a TT. i am doing okay on the extra skin front...but then again I still weigh 258. I am thinking that eventually though my tummy will need some help. and my boobs need a lift. One thing at a time.
