The 5 day POUCH Test begins.....

Hey,

Well I have chosen to start the 5 day pouch test with some friends from OH website. What happens is basically we are going back to the first 6 weeks of our surgery and eating all the foods and drinking we can do to kinda cleanse our body and get it back to were it should be. If you are stalling this is a good thing to do as well, kinda gets you back on track.

So for days 1 and 2 we are able to eat(all liquid) your cream soups, broth, SF jello, FF pudding, low carb protein drinks and of course to get all your fluids in as possible. Day 3 soft foods, ie... canned fish(not the biggest fan)so I am opting to have ham, chicken, turkey from the can. Day 4 Firmer protein, foods like ground beef, chicken, turkey. Then we have Day 5 which is your solid protein, like steak, chicken, pork etc.

So Im sure if I stick to this for the 5 days I will see my weight loss pick back up a bit. But like I have always said, I dont get caught up in the losing aspect of this surgery, cause I am so happy to have lost this weight and not gain it back.

So lets see where I will be after the 5 DAY POUCH TEST!!!!LOL

This past weekend.......

So this past weekend I was able to attend a wedding that I have been looking forwards to since my friend Tammy told me! She is the bride!!! So as you may have read I went to Barrie to see my sister and then headed to Toronto to see a play. Well I purchased a dress for this wedding and love it very much. It was the first dress I have purchased since July 01 I believe and that was becasue of my BF wedding, was standing up with her. So this was a huge milestone I have overcome.

Well I wanted to tell you that everything went awesome. Tammy looking absolutely amazing! Her husband Al didnt look to shabby at all too....LOL.....there children were adorable. It was a very beautiful wedding.

So here are some pics from the wedding. ENJOY!!!

101lbs Gone FOREVER!

Well this morning I weighed myself and loan behold I DID IT.......101lbs GONE FOREVER!!

Its hard to fathom that I have lost this amount of weight. I never thought in my wildest dreams this would ever happen, but it did and I am so greatful.

I know if I didnt have the support from friends and family I wouldnt be able to do this alone, so I want to thank you all for yoru support and encouraging words. I am truly blessed.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!

Weekend in Barrie

So this weekend I planned on going up to see my sister in Barrie. She lives in Orillia, but we stayed at her boyfriends house in Barrie.

Friday night we went to see Dirty Dancing at the Royal Alexandria Theater in Toronto. What a gorgous theater. The play was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO VERY GOOD. I would go and see it again and again. It was just great. We did a bit of walking around first in the Mall,which one, I cant think of it just right at the moment. Then took the subway to the theater. I had so much fun.

So Sat. we spent alot of the day shopping. I had such an amazing time shopping. I love to shop and did before surgery, but now almost 100lbs lost its so much more fun. I can go into all the same stores as my sister. We both got new jackets at H&M the same ones just a different size.It was awesome. Then we went searching for an outfit for a wedding I am going to the middle of April. Well I found a dress.....I havent wore a dress since my bestfriends wedding. That has to be a while ago. The dress is an XL from Le Chateau. Its so nice.

That night we went 10 pin bowling. That was sooooo much fun. Would do it again in a heart beat.

But overall I cant wait to go and see her again in the summer.This was the outfit I wore to the Theater.

5 months

Well there I am yet another month gone.

So Im down a total of 98.4lbs and 84.5 since surgery! Lost 9.5 inches this month bring my total up to 48 inches lost since Dec.

I cant get over how much more energy I have. My confidence is gradually getting better by each month. My out look on life is much more positive then it has been in a long time. Im just overall happy again.

So this might be funny to some, but I find it funny too. As I am looking through my pics I have been taking I cant help but notice bones I thought I never had. Figure of speech cause I knew they were always there, lol, but seriously I have a collarbone, ribs, hipbones. Its crazy to be able to actually feel them and not just be like oh well that is just fat!!LOL.

Im still not comfortable with the top part of my legs, but that will come with working out and walking. I have to remember losing this much weight in a short period of time your skin cant keep up, if it could that would be great.LOL. So when summer comes around and I am in desprite need of a bathing suit than I will purchase on, but until then...I can wait!
