Almost 2 months surgiversary!
Down 67 lbs as of this morning and thats with Aunt Fl visiting, I am hoping its closer to 70!
Last weekend I put my wedding dress on. Its been 3 years and I thought for sure I had lost enough weight to fit in it. But when I put it on, it was BIG! Mostly in the bust and the hips, but still... it was large. Sad and happy at the same time. I had hoped towear it around the house to feel like a princess for one more day, but I can buy another pretty dress or MANY pretty dresses when I get to my goal weight that make me feel just as much like a princess.
Had my follow up with the surgeon. I got my vitamin B12 shot and they are having me take in addition to the bariatric supplement, a disolvable calcium and a b1 (thaicin?). Cant take them together so have to spread them out throughout the day. The surgeon was VERY happy with how well my incisions looked and at how good I looked. She said my coloring was good and I seemed to be glowing. Glowing? I'm not pregnant, I am losing weight! LOL
Tomorrow will mark 2 months since going out to harvard for surgery. For sure, I am stopping everything to take pics. I need something to post so you all can see my progress and so I can see my progress thus far. I noticed my collar bones today. Also, my shoulders seem... sexy?
Shelby's birthday party was a hit! The kids went swimming, people played bocci ball and tossed bean bags... a good time was had by all. Shelby only took an hour nap that day, but she didnt fuss at all, even stayed up past her normal bedtime! She was a true angel and I was so proud of her. She also did real well with her cake, got lots of pics of that! AND OH MY - all the gifts she received! We truly are blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.

6 Weeks day 2 Post Op
I'm sorry I haven't reported in. Life is crazy with trying to get ready for Shelby's BIG 1ST birthday party! Who'd have thought an Elmo themed party would be so much fun to plan! Then there is the house to clean - which is hard with a 1 year old in tow. I am learning that I have to be more flexible with some of my standards.
The cake is ordered, the food is ordered, grocery shopping has been done. I have to finish up the goody bags for the kids, a photo project of Shelby, I need more plates (in Elmos orange nose color of course), I have to iron the guest of honors adorable dress and make sure she has shoes to wear, and lots of other details. I sure hope someone will help with pictures, I dont want to miss this while I am busy in the kitchen or what not.
Tomorrow is her actual birthday. DJ, Shelby and I are going to celebrate with pizza and a little cake. We will try to go over to the park if it isnt raining. Then we have to do last minute things for the party. I am excited my little pudding pop is turning a year old especially when I see how much she has learned and grown (remember our little preemie of 4 lbs?). But I am also sad too. Its another year closer to when she will be all grown up and not need me anymore. It went by so fast and I wish I hadn't lost those pictures. I wish I had more time to spend with her, teaching her. I wish I hadn't been such a clean freak and let her feed herself. I wish that her HAIR WOULD GROW! Why dont we have any hair?????
But I certainly am proud of her. She is friendly, sociable, smart, clever, happy, funny, and just a wonderful little person to have in my life. I am the luckiest person on earth, for sure. DJ is very hands on, and truly LOVES spending time with her, doing things with her, and doesn't even think about or mind that he is on diaper duty, or feeding duty. A lot of fathers are hands off, but DJ is all HANDS ON! I love him more because of it. Shelby, hopefully one day, will realize just how lucky she is to have him as her father.
Weight Loss
*sigh* I am at 55 lbs. Its just not coming off as fast as it was and it is quite disappointing. I am told that if you dont get your protein in, it wont come off as fast because your body attacks your muscle instead. But I am also told that other people do not have to take in 80 grams or more of protein, they are supposed to intake 60 or so. If thats the case, most days I am making my protein intake then! I dont understand.
Food gets stuck and by the afternoon I have intense intestinal pains. I dont know why, but I am sure I am doing something wrong. Will have to look into this more after Shelbys party.
