I know that things must be going well, when I run into my surgeon in the hall and he tells me I look "Fabulous" That's so exciting. One thing that I have a hard time adjusting to is the complements that I am receiving. It's been a LONG time since someone told me I looked fabulous. I politely say thank and shine my big smile!

Well I am officially wearing a B Cup bra!! Amazing defeat of the girls. I have lost just about 15" in my breasts. I went out last night for the first time since my surgery and I felt great. My friend Melissa was amazed that I was wearing a B cup and I made her look at the tag inside.

I had my doctors appointment the other day with my surgeon and officially have lost 62lbs. He encouraged me to put the scale away and only weigh yourself once a week. So I have listened to him and will only weigh myself on Sunday mornings. I have been given the ok to start exercising and have begun my "Biggest Loser" workout DVD. I am also looking into to joining the Y. They have a fantastic water aerobics class.

I am now able to shop at Dillards and Kohls...still working to Ann Taylor or the Limited. I have lost 3 shirt sizes at Lane Bryant. It's weird not looking for the biggest size in the store.

Take care, I hope you all have a great week!

I have officially lost 60 pounds!!! It's been 7 weeks and I feel great. I sometimes forget that I had major stomach surgery until I try and eat or drink and can't. My newest issue is that I get horribly nausasus when I eat. Not all the time but alot. I am trying to work on it and hopefully solve the problem.

I am beginning to have WOW moments! My rings don't fit, shoes are big and continue to have bra issues. I was measured for a bra and the sales lady told me that my cup size was a B!!! A B!!! Do you believe? Me either. I have yet to find the correct bra size that I need without spending $100.

I apologize for the delay is updating my blog. I have returned to work and it's been kicking my butt. I am completely exhausted when I come home and usually sleeping by 9:00pm.

I have progressed to complete solid food and have been tolerating it well. I still have no desire to eat and get rather nauseated when I do eat. I am allowed to eat up to 1/2 cup of food. I am so afraid to overeat and take that last bite because the feeling afterwards is awful. I have changed all my vitamins from chewable to regular and my body is still adjusting to them. My dietcian wants me to lose 2-4lbs per week and I am on target. It's weird to try on some of my clothes and they are to big to wear. I actually purchased a full length mirror for the first time in my life.

I feel very good, I have some moments were I just feel awful but for the most part I feel great!
