Another 7.5 week picture.
Having MAJOR clothing issues! Nothing fits and if it does fit it's only for a week! Believe me...I love it, but it is a pain! Thankfully, the warm temps have arrived and I can just live in dresses for the summer! :)

5 Weeks Update and 50 Pounds down!
Down 50 pounds on my 5 Week post surgery date. Just a bit behind on getting it on here. Still at the point where I lose about a pound or more every day. Crazy...
Here is a picture of all of the fallen soilders from my closet. I am down to two pairs of jeans that fit and have dropped about 3-4 pant sizes in 5 weeks.
The bucket of 16 pairs of pants that no longer fit! I will be spending my summer in dresses!

Face pictures
Trying to remember not to just take body shots!
Week 1 was the white t-shirt week 3 and 4 following! :)
One month follow up
Today I met with my surgeon who I love, love, love! He is just so down to earth, a great Dr!
He was very pleased with my progress and weight loss. He told me I need to back off on my weight training b/c I actually vomited yesterday after a very hard Body Pump class. I am pretty confident I can just lift less weight and I will try that at tomorrows class.
My dietician however, didn't like how little I am eating. She said I need to get more carbs in. I can now eat cooked veggies and some soft fruit, so that will help me up my carbs. She said I need to eat more food during the day, but I find it so challenging b/c I truly have no interest. Today I had a single serving of cooked broccoli and a 1/4 c of corn chowder thinned with skim milk. That is it!
My Dr however disagreed with the dietician. He said my only job right now is to figure out what full feels like. He wants me to get my protien in and as long as I am doing that through shakes he doesn't care how much food I eat right now. Again, why I like him. Much more direct and less hyped up as the NUTS can be. I know it's there job and they are just trying to tell me the right things. I get it.
Some NSV today! Non Scale Victories....at One Month
1.Fit into some jeans I bought years ago and I have never worn them.
2.Offically down 3 pant sizes in a month.
3. Down 3 bra sizes as well!
4. Had 3 people today tell me that I looked great. One close male friend who I hadn't seen in a few weeks said "Wow, I can just see it all over in your face, your body...you look great" I wanted to smooch him, but held back and just said "thanks" trying to be humble here people. I also realize I have a LONG way to go! 100lbs to be exact!

First Post
So, let me introduce myself not that anyone, but my friend Kim is reading! :)
Oh, and these pictures are backwards, but forgive me, this is all new to me. Starting from the bottom in the white shirt is prior to surgery and then pics for the next 4 weeks!
I am 38 and 5'8" tall. I have been overweight on and off my entire adult life. I had Gastric Bypass RNY on 4/4/2011. I will catch you up on what has occurred for the last month!
After 7 months of classes, drs appts etc I finally went in for surgery on 4.4. I wasn't nervous at all and just excited to start this new chapter in my life.
I don't really remember the first 24 hrs in the hospital, but when I came out of my medication haze things weren't so bad. I was in the hospital for 3 days and my first full day at home I felt great! I went back to my routine of driving the kids etc. I didn't think I would feel as well as I did and was so happy not to feel like a train wreck. I don't have time for anything else.
In the past month, I have had a great experience. No real side affects and I have lost a wonderful 44 pounds! Here are some pictures to show off the changes.
I also started working out 1 week after my surgery. I am trying to work out 6 days a week. A combination of Body Pump,running, swimming and biking. I want to maybe do a sprint tri in August, but we will see how that goes. No promises!
