I didnt want that posted on Facebook! Urgh!

After much debate over many years I finally took the step and got gastric bypass (RNY procedure) on 4/26/2011.  I have struggled with my weight many many years. This diet that diet, all natural, exercise.. you name it I probably tried it.. but in the end it has resulted to this action.
I have to say initially during the first week of recovery I thought I lost my mind.  The pain was unbearable and I tried to be a big girl and not take the pain meds in fear of addiction.. but those meds were absolutely necessary for a speedy recovery. 
The amount of food eatten now is probably 10% of what I had in the past.. and the first week I lost 13 lbs.  My next check up is on Wednesday (5/18) Well see what the loss is then.
Its about 2 1/2 weeks out from the surgery and I am still recovering taking it a day at a time.. I have to say while its still a struggle I am glad that I did it it.

But I do have to blog about this one:

I am a BuzzAgent and I tried this dip out! Its super delicious and low in calorie! Definitely try it!

Giftcard from MAC or Sephora
Starbucks Giftcard
I need need need a new hairdryer with a comb attachment preferably 1875 Watts Ionic
And an Ann Taylor Giftcard so buy new items for my Spring Wardrobe 🙂

I thought that this week was a better week but evidently my scale didnt say so and I am very disappointed.  Besides all the drama with family last week this really disappointed me and put me in a very bad mood.
I had a party to go to last night and I skipped it.
So this am when I got up I decided to try the Wii that I paid $150 ove Christmas.  I am highly impressed! I loved the Sports – boxing however my fitness test said I had the fitness of an 80 year old! I had to chuckle at that hahaha which means I need to work harder at being more fit! Cool!  I played that Micahel Jackson game and it was a workout and fun! I am very impressed with how they have created these graphics to be so interactive! Wow!
I am interested in the Wii Fit Plus.. putting that on my birthday gift list.. Maybe I might be lucky to get it 🙂 Or even a gift card to put towards the purchase of it.
Well a new week is coming and I will keep the goal towards the weight loss even though I am seriously considering the baratric surgery that now my insurance pays for!
More to come next week!

Yes I know I skipped a few days.. but a sister does not have time to blog everyday.. Soooo.. well I am not on day 8.. and since I received my kit on 12/29 to yesterday I have lost 4.5 lbs. 
I purchases a nice scale from Costco and a new set of plasticware for my lunches.
