Ok i think my hubby is not taking accurate measurements, cause my waist measurement went up from jan.....ya i don't think so......oh well he tried...lol, i'm just gonna leave it cause no way to tell where exactly he was putting the measureing tape each month, so i'll just continue and just remember it's the best he could do :) I love him.....he's my booger butt :)  He's over here next to me right now eating something yummy a frozen icecream treat....at least it has pecans in it, so its not tempting to me at all not into pecans in my icecream so i told him it was ok for him to eat it in here with me..... 

Oh and i'm currently swimming in my 5X tshirts, and some of my pants are pretty big on me too.....its soooo cool, going to start going through my tubs of clothes i had when i was under 300...i'll have enough to last probably just till i get to 250 and then oh boy the shopping starts.....my favorite part :)

These are from April 18, 2011 the day before my surgery.  The next two weeks were ugggg....the first week wasn't to bad, i was in pain but it wasn't as bad as i was worried it was going to be....the second week uck the constipation kicked in and that was a bitch, worst pain ever, even worse then the dang surgery pain, it was no fun at all, not even gonna go into details as to how we ended up getting rid of it, but it last like 5 days or so and it was godawful, i was screaming for my life while on the toilet it hurt so much......well just letting you pre ops know what your in for, but hope i don't scare you away, cause i'm still so happy that i had this surgery....my life is going to be so much better now....:)

These are my stats for January 1, 2011 When i started my journey, at the time i was going through the process of trying to get my insurance to approve me for the lapband surgery, but they ended up denying me even though i jumped through all their hoops....oh well i think it all worked out better in the end, when i got denied it got me thinking of the sleeve instead, and then i asked my family if they could help me out and they said yes and now here i am a few monthes later and i have my sleeve...woulda still been waiting for surgery if i had to go through appeal processes with my insurance, ugggg that wouldn't have been fun....already been through enough i think....oh well.  I'm going to post the past 5 monthes worth of pics and stats, each in their own blog and hopefully i'll try to keep up with them each month.
