116 lb transformation


So here we are DURING the transformation.  I am excited that there is this HUGE, apparent, difference from August 2017 to now January 2019.  I can't wait to see the transformation that happens in the next 1.5 years.  I have eyes, I have a chin, I have a beck, I have HEALTH!  

I am one day away from progressing to Food Stage 3 since VSG.  This means adding in deli meat, tuna, chicken, and really soft veggies.  I did try ham last night and it went just fine.  I tried chicken franks today in some beans for protein and it went fine so I am looking forward to eating more normal.  It is scary to try new foods because maybe it won't agree with my stomach but I want to be able to eat dinners with my family (although it will only be 2-3 oz haha). Pork and beef are off limits for now and I am OK with that.  I made a calendar with our meals for the next month and on it is scallops, cauliflower rice, zucchini, shrimp stir fry, ricotta bake with turkey meatballs, spaghetti squash taco bowls, veggies noodles, buffalo chicken wonton cups, shrimp and kielbasa sheet pan, BRUSSEL SPROUTS FINALLY!!!!!!  Cauliflower gnocchi, fish, broccoli tot nachos, ground turkey spaghetti with zoodles, veggies noodles, where's the crust pizza, low carb chili dog bake, tuna cakes, cream chicken enchilada skillet, cabbage and kielbasa, shrimp Taco Bell, coconut shrimp, and other yummy stuff.  SOME DAY SOON, I will be going to Red Lobster to get me some crab legs YUUUUMMMM.  I really plan to eat healthy like I did before surgery and one of my big goals is to find meals that my entire family loves that maybe isn't so healthy, and do a healthy version of it.  

Week 1= -10
Week 2= -3
Week 3= -3
Week 4= -5

Measurements will be taken tomorrow and updated soon!

Thursday

Hello all :) I was at a training this week with work and when deciding where we should eat somebody mentioned Olive Garden and I immediately dropped by head.  I know Olive Garden as PASTA, PASTA, PASTA so I wasn't looking forward to the temptation.  I don't know why I don't give myself credit for how strong I am.  My entire life, people couldn't pressure me to do ANYTHING I didn't want to.  I am SO STRONG and I make my own decisions; I am a lion, not a sheep :) (I want a shirt so bad that says "Be a lion")  Anyways, when we got there, I looked at the menu and right there on the lunch section were meals that were 300-400 calories and as soon as I saw zucchini I was in.  Its a half piece of chicken with a piece and a half of zucchini with mozzarella cheese and some lemon butter with tomatoes to top it off (I didn't eat those).  I left behind some zucchini and you know, I never once thought about pasta as I was sitting there.  On my way home I thoug...

It's the most wonderful time of the year

November 1st means CHRISTMAS DECORATING!!! I love everything about Christmas.  I especially love the lights and the music so I put lights all over the inside of my house while listening to Mariah Carey in the background.  My favorite is waking up before everybody (maybe not Evie) and the only light being the Christmas tree; its magical.  Then of course comes the first snow and this year it was a little more special because I get to see it all through Evie's eyes.  Although she calls everything a snowman (she is confused and I can't wait for her to really see a snowman) she is so EXCITED about it all.  When I turned on the Christmas lights she squealed and cheered because last year she was just too little to really care or get it.  Then, when I turned on the carousel that plays Christmas songs, she got the biggest smile on her face and stood up clapping and dancing, and then yesterday, as the snow fell and covered the ground, she would get up every so often ...
