3 Months

So I know I'm HORRIBLE at updating this thing. But at least I keep you all updated on new pictures! And really isn't that what you all want to see??? Here are the newest pictures. I have lost a total of 56 pounds and everything has been going good! I have had some crazy hormones going on! This past week has been really rough! I had to finally out on an estrogen patch. I was fighting it bad. I did finally decide that putting the patch on would be better than hurting someone! :) I learned that all of your estrogen is stored in your fat cells. So when you drop a lot of weight really fast it screws with your hormones. Oh and buddy did it!!! The patch has helped alot! I'm hoping I'm not going to have to do this long. So here is all you've been waiting for....

29!!!!!!!!!!

Well as most of you know I had a big birthday this past Sunday.  I have to be completely honest with you all....this was the hardest time that I've had since I had my surgery.  One word...HALLOWEEN!  I have never wanted a tiny little lick, yes I would have just taken a lick, of a snickers bar.  Everyone was hanging out in the kitchen eating candy and I felt lost.  I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do.  So I did what I know....I went to the bathroom and cried.  I know my sweet Allison didn't even know that happened but I didn't know what else to do.  That was the very first time that I felt left out.  It's ok I made it through but I was FOR SURE having a little buyers remorse!  
Well on the super happy note....I lost 4.5 pounds this week!!!!  I was getting a little nervous because I was only losing 1 and 2 pounds every week.  I spent WAYYYY too much money for that mess!  Well I'm going to head to bed!  I had a few people ask about my updates so here ya go!  If you read this leave me some comments.  That makes me feel like someone is actually reading this!  We'll talk soon....

1 Month!!!

I can't believe I had surgery exactly 1 month ago today.  Part of me seems like I had the surgery
yesterday. And the other part of me feels like I had it years ago.  I have done very well all together.  Knock on wood, I haven't found anything that I can't eat.  In fact, I just ate the top of a piece of pizza.  I was craving it SO bad!  And I can honestly say that it wasn't as good as I
remembered.  Now that could have been that I wasn't having Jet's Pizza.  That is my all time favorite!  
I weighed in yesterday and I'm staying strong at another 2 pounds!  I talked to a friend that has had this surgery and she made me feel a lot better about my weight lose.  She lost 100 pounds in a year and that averages out to about 2 pounds a week.  I had never really thought about it that way before.  I'm just going to take it one day at a time.  Because that's really all I can do!  I decided when I had surgery that I was going to take monthly pictures.  Mainly because I don't feel like I'm losing but then I see a picture and can tell I am.  So here are the pictures.....

Slacking....

OK I know I've been slacking with my updates.  But it was brought to my attention from 3 different people today that I needed to update.  I didn't think that many people read this.  What have I missed.....

Well the horrible yeast infection continued to spread to my freakin belly button.  Yeah that's right my belly button.  This yeast infection has been WAY worse than the surgery was.  I should have been eating my yogurt but it seriously makes me gag just thinking about it.  GROSS!  So I'm praying that this is the last of it.  

I had my third weigh in this past Monday.  I'm not going to lie I was really disappointed!  I only lost 2.4 pounds.  I know if I look at it as a big picture I have lost alot!  But just looking at this week it really made me mad!  If you don't see me daily you don't understand just how little I eat!  So I can't understand why I didn't lose more.  I have started adding more regular foods so I'm sure that's it.  I've also been able to start going out to eat again.  Which is a huge relief!  I have hated not being able to go out and be social with friends.  I really hope this week will be better.  BUT I have been weighing AND it's not looking good.

My main goal for next week is to start to workout!  I know that will help with the weight loss.  I HATE working out really more than anything.  I just have to get on a schedule and just do it. 
So really that's about all that is going on with me.  I'll try to be better about updating!  I'm taking pictures along the way and I've decided to do it once a month.  This next Tuesday is a month.  I can't believe it has already been a month since my surgery.  I'll post pictures as soon as I take them.
