Front view
Side view, man my bottom is still really round! Looks like another mile of running tonight...

Front view again!!! My fav! I think the front view is the most impressive, only because my curves are smooth again!!!! LOL

Video's for the surgery

Sorry I never posted this, and just realized it! LOL! Pretty gruesome for some to watch. Dade loves the second video! He has watched it several times.

to give you an idea.....

Ok so Mom left over a week ago .. It has been rough, but I am making it! So updates..... hmmm... Where to start... Well I went to the Doc's, and he cleared me for real food this week. I had gained two pounds when I was there, but I have lost those, plus two more. Who knows where it goes..... As of Sunday, I lost another inch of my tummy, as depressing as it is, I only lost 1/2 inch of my bottom, and 1/2 inch of thighs. I am thinking the 1/2 inch thing is becuase I only ran three days last week. LOL! This week however has been better. I have ran everyday since Saturday. I upped my run from 1/2 mile to a full mile. I did this because I gained two pounds last week, and wasn't happy with that number. It hasn't killed me, but some nights it hurts! But like Will says, "pain just lets you know you are still alive". I am glad he loves me! LOL! I guess thats it for now, sorry no new pics, but I haven't been able to get any good ones! I will though, adn I will post! Thanks for following, I Love the support!

The beginning of Week 4

I am finally not as sore as I have been which is good. I uped the run a bit, and still feeling good. However it has been extremely frustrating this week, because I have only lost one pound! I guess I should be glad it is one pound, but still! I want to see numbers!!! I do feel it though, all my clothes are too big and hang off now, and I finally got into pants comfortably that I haven't been able to wear for 4 years! So thats a plus! I guess thats it for this week. Will post pic next week. No big changes this week.... Thanks for checking up on me!

Week 3

Well I feel great! I haven't lost anything this week yet, but weigh-in is on Sundays. I feel like I have lost inches though. I am still really sore, but I am back to running, I was up to a mile. After that I hurt, so I have backed it down a bit. I jog about half a mile and fast-pace walk the rest of the 1.5 miles. It is enough to make me feel it, but I still don't feel like I am really working enough at it. I am going to start at the gym this coming week. With Will being gone, it is hard to stay still at home, so I am not getting the rest I wish I could. I always hear everyone say "you should take it easy", but no one else is here to do my job, and I don't need to get farther behind! So for now, I just push through, and make the best of it. The only pain I have and have had, is the one big incision. There are stitches in the muscle and I feel it everytime I use those muscles. If I sneeze, or cough, oh man it feels like I am bursting them! It does hurt, but I know in the long run it will be worth it. For now, I am happy! I am thanking God for a successful surgery, Good Doctors, and great support!

New pics!

Ok so we are getting there. The bruises are almost all gone, and the surgical tape came off yesterday! Man isn't that awesome! So here are some new pics!

Day 14 after Surgery.

Day 7 after surgery!
I notice my clothes are fitting so big now. I guess thats good! I wish I was seeing more numbers falling off though!

The Surgery

The surgery was a gastric sleeve. (click on The purple lettering for the link) I am posting a link for the site which tells a lot of information to it. Hope this helps everyone understand it better!
