    I've been watching your progress and you're doing great! I forgot about the meetings! when is the next one? I've been at a stall last 2 weeks but I know it will pass. I've lost 75 total, 58 since surgery. I feel so much better. Best decision I ever made.

1 year!!!!

by Buffalogal317 on 03-08-2013 at 12:27 AM
February 27th marked my 1 year point. I went from 276 pounds on day 1 with my Dr office to 149 today. I can't believe I did it. I still have days where I look in the mirror and see a big girl even though I know I'm tiny. My boyfriend has to remind me that I'm tiny by hugging me and wrapping his arms all the way around me. I will never complain about that. I can't believe how much I've changed since surgery, physically, mentally and emotionally. I'm so glad I did it.

Had a rough few days

by Buffalogal317 on 04-15-2012 at 09:44 PM
Wednesday I decided to try some broccoli cheddar soup. I've had the soup without it, just had the broth. This time I had the broccoli too and ended dealing with the rejection of it for 2 days. I guess I won't be having that again for a while. Friday I woke up, stomach feeling great, actually hungry but had a ton of pain in my throat and ears. I went to the Dr to find out that I have strep throat. Today the swelling is finally going down but it still hurts quite a bit. I can't wait to be healthy

Mourning food

by Buffalogal317 on 04-09-2012 at 01:00 PM
I had serious food mourning the past few days. I think it was triggered by a minor depression spell but I really wanted to take more than 2 or 3 bites of something.

I've been trying to reach the dietician to find out what foods I can start adding in and which ones I still can't eat but haven't been able to reach her. I'm starting to get very bored with the foods I'm eating. At breakfast yesterday I watched everyone have kuchen and hot cross buns while I ate a hardboiled egg and kielbasa.

Trying to find 'me'

by Buffalogal317 on 03-25-2012 at 03:19 AM
I've been trying to figure out who I am for a few months now, post breakup and before the surgery. I had all of my interests striped away to accommodate someone else and now have no idea who I am. I never knew it would be so hard to think of things I'm interested in or that I like to do, on my own. I've always been a quiet, go with the flow person that is perfectly happy doing whatever but having someone say they couldn't be themselves because of how 'vanilla' I am bothers me since I never changed.

More nervous than before surgery

by Buffalogal317 on 03-19-2012 at 06:48 PM
I started my process to surgery in September and at the end of November my relationship of almost 3 years ended painfully. Since then I focused on me and surgery and getting better. In the past couple weeks I started talking to a guy who has asked me out a few times, he knows about everything and is still pursuing and it is weird to me. I'm not used to it and it's slightly nerve wracking. I finally agreed to go out and we are going on sunday. I'm so nervous and it's still a week away.
