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...

FMLA....more like FML

So I decided it was time to tell my work place that I would be off for about 3 weeks at the end of the year and some of January so that we could all be prepared.  The hospital had talked to me about FMLA and when I asked my supervisor who to talk to about it, she stated Human Resources.  In my entire work life, I have never had to use FMLA, I know it stands for Family Medical Leave Act, and I know it protects your job, but thats about it.  I requested a meeting with the HR lady, she accepted, and then a week later I was standing in her office.  She stares at me like why the hell are you here, I remind her we have a meeting about FMLA, and she says "I thought there would be a lot more people here"  I am going to type the conversation in an easier read format below HR: I thought there would be a lot more people Me: Nope, just me and you HR: WHO IS HAVING THE MEETING? Me: Me and you HR: blank stare Me: I scheduled with you last week to meet about requesting ...
