Well, I have lost another half of pound, wahoooo anything is great considering I KNOW I have not been on the ball. This morning I am doing great but for WATER... I just cannot get it all in, am SICK of water.. need to try other things because I am not doing what I need to do!! I need to start excersizing, just is SO hot at night even... so I need to figure something else to do, dancing like no one is watching may work.. giggle Today I go to a friends for a birthday party, and she wants us over for dinner... roast... not sure if I can handle it yet, but I maybe able too! Wish me luck! Monday, July 08, 2002
OK I am now at 44.5 lbs as of this morning. I have been sick so the weight loss finally started slowing due to me not excersizing. BUT who cares.. I am thrilled... I cannot wait to be under 300... 50 lbs is my next goal... then 299.. hehe I can eat salad, NO problems, have beef too, no problems... But with all the hormones being released I am having bad *rearend* problems.. sigh SUCH is life! Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July!! Tuesday, July 02, 2002
Well sorry for the wait everyone! My computer DIED DIED DIED.. lol And it is still not working, but as I type this they are sending me a new mother board and a new hard drive (again since this one is brand new, but it is a MAXTOR and THEY SUCK... so I get to get a Western Digital.. thank you for WARRANTIES OH GREAT AND MIGHTY ONES!) ANYWAY... off the plateau FOR SURE... I have lost 41 lbs as of this morning! YAAAAAA KRISS gone but not forgotten but never to be seen again!!!!!! Friday, June 21, 2002
Whispered Prayers - Catalogue Very cool stuff here, but I have to wait till I can fit in a 2X or an XL. My children are really on my nerves today and I want to do something for myself, not just sit here and do NOTHING. I guess I can make my recipe book. That will take a little time but I can do it! Wonder what else I can do today. TRY NOT TO SCREAM I am a STRONG woman, I have wonderful children, I have the power within me to do great things. SO I will not SCREAM today, I will honor the Goddess in her blessed Solstice and Hail the reign of the newly born Holly King... I will be strong and cleanse and be STRONG again!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Ya SURE I am off this plateau.. LOL I am SO MAD... I KNOW IT HAS TO GET BETTER RIGHT???????? THIS IS ALL WORTH IT RIGHT????????? One day I am fine the next I want to shoot someone! AHHHHHHHHHHHH Sunday, June 16, 2002
Well I FINALLY broke the damn plateaus.. I UPPED my freaking protein by forcing a drink in a morning. Now I am up to drinking this nasty protein, a soy, that does NOT make me sick, adding a touch of SF Quick to make it a bit less gritty tasting, at least predominately.. anyway... I get a little over 50 grams in the morning. it allows me to work in my carbs and the rest of my protein all day slowly and it works with my lifestyle. Yesterday I went out and about and had SO much energy all day! WELL till about 2 pm. SO I am going to split it up, because if I can do a cup in the morning and a cup mid afternoon I will be good to go all day! Started the B-12 sublingual! That really helped too! HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DAD's... mine is snoring in his room while I deal with de brainwashing my kids from having Grandma here all week.. lol OMG 32 lbs, I am FINALLY over this DAMN plateaus and I have not done inches, hubby says we will do them today, but I KNOW I am MUCH smaller then I was at this weight LAST year... Because of how the clothing fits. PLUS I went clothing shopping and HAD A BALL... I know how can I have a ball, because EVERYTHING FIT!!!!!! I tried a bunch of Ball gowns on for a military formal I have to go too. I was looking for a top to go with a skirt I have, a floor length black taffeta that has a draw string THANK GOD.. lol But I wanted to try on a few other things, wahooooo I looked awesome. The Catherine's I go to has not seen me since Feb of this year. I still was undecided and would probably not have had the surgery if it was not for this older woman in the store who had had it and looked awesome. She had SO much energy and had turned into a clothing hound. She said she was 68. I did NOT buy it, she showed me her license which had her old picture on it I about fell over. She looked in her mid fifties, but the picture she looked 80... I figured that day, it was TIME to be ALIVE again... ANYWAY someone showed me tops and I grabbed my usual size and tried it on.. OMG it HUNG on me... so I tried it on with the skirt and decided I would wear it, but I tried the next size down too. It was a shell, so it was not supposed to hang on me, but wearing it as I was, I decided to leave it as be.. but the thing is THAT IT FIT ME BIG! WAHOOOOOOOOO! Lane Bryant was our next stop.. I wanted ALL the clothes, but what is the point right??? So I tried bras on because that is what I needed. Mine were ratty and hanging my boobs just TO low, they are that bad already. Being a 48DDD THERE, when I should be in a bigger bra, but all the bigger ones I find have underwires and I just do not do that. I normally where a 46G But I can get into the 48DDD that is a soft cup with support at Lane Bryant.. WELL.. yesterday, I could not it was TO BIG !!!!!!!!!!! ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I had to get TWO NEW BRAS... LOL 46DDD and I feel SO WONDERFUL! It was 119 up in Tucson yesterday, and I was miserable and know why I ran out of steam HOWEVER... hehehehehehhehe It was great. We went out for Mexican. I had this smoked chicken flauta (sp?), ya I know fried, but lightly and I peeled the top part of it off and just had the bottom and dipped it in HOT HOT SALSA! WAHOOOOOOOOO I ate 3/4s of one.. LOL And felt incredible. We were still out so I drove through KFC got baked beans, which I always thought had a HIGH sugar content, NOPE... and no fat according to their info, and mashed taters! GOOD protein carb blend! I feel like I am eating more, but I am wondering because the stuff I eat more of is more MUSHED and goes through quicker? I eat slower then I was which is helping. Taking 45 min to get through a meal.. *pat my back* Hey the weight loss may only be 1 more pound after being stuck at 339-340 for ever and a freaking day (about 2 weeks come Sunday) BUT GEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ it was frustrating! 32 lbs is nothing to laugh at and as I said, I am SURE it is more inches too!

Just read you were taking out your frustrations on your scale. Don't do that, do what I do to help with the weight loss. Don't just walk up to the scale and get on, first you should clean and trim all your nails (as a female you have the added help of removing any polish also), next remove any Band-Aids, then remove your watch and any jewelry (I would also remove my glasses, but then I could not see the dial, wait a moment that might not be on the down side), also do any weighing in as dark and sealed room as possible because you don't want to much light or air falling on the scale. These few tips plus getting up in the middle of the night when your to bleary eyed to read the dial, have helped me in my own frustrations with a scale. Love, Dad p.s. I took that BMI test and the first time it went into the overweight PSS again: I just thought you might think there was something funny with how I took Saturday, June 08, 2002
Oh my here is my husband! HEHE Of course he is Kermit! He is just like him, how I love this man, even when he hovers over my shoulder when I am typing.. giggle I threw the scale in the closet and hid it, I hate it.. ugh... I need to WALK more I need to EAT better.. just frustrated and sick to death of what I did to myself at the moment.. I KNOW IT WILL GET BETTER AND I HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO DO IT.. but right now I am on the pissy pot and need to get off on my own.. lol Monday, June 03, 2002
HAHA... am such a good cook, ya right now it is egg salad, and tuna fish, oh and lets not forget CHEESE.. I AM SO BORED WITH MY FOOD.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH hehehe and I am TIRED all the time.. it SUCKS! Sunday, June 02, 2002
THANK YOU FOR THE MESSAGE -- Kriss' Weight Loss Journey's Forum and guestbook I was sitting here reading my forum style guest book and I decided I shoudl post a few things to get everyone up to speed. I am losing weight and inches, but am having a bad few days. I just started my period and I hurt like a bitch.... excuse my lanquage... it changed my taste buds, and now I cannot even drink milk without feeling like it is gonna come back up, but my husband said I was always like this prior to surgery during my period! Anyway still plugging along, having the 3 week blues, they say it is SO normal! BLessings to all! Sunday, May 26, 2002
Well apparently I am loosing inches and weight, hubby said I have dimples behind my knees where he has never seen before.. LOL! I am feeling ok, I Hurt today and am thinking that there is a reason you eat PUREED food, to keep you honest and to make sure you do not hurt yourself... ANYWAY ... each day it gets better Friday, May 24, 2002
Well been kicking butts and taking names! I am walking every day twice a day, no problems other then my ribs. Which apparently is normal since they cracked my lower body open!!!!! DUH... I am on soft food, which is grand also, ate a piece of mozzeralla cheese and a tomato SMOTHERED in balsimic vinegar and have snacked on Turkey Jerky! Got ALL MY PROTIEN IN, and ALL THE CARBS! I am ON TOP OF IT TODAY! Feel SO much better, even if I did sleep for two hours this afternoon.. oops.. lol Hope everyone else is has a great Memorial Day Weekend!FitDay - Your online nutrition, weight loss, diet & fitness manager!

Still having problems wtih food, but NOT as bad as I did. NOT going to stress at ALL about anything! I pooped just FINE this morning. I am feeling ok, got a little nausiated with the milk but HEY that is ok too! Sitting here in pajamas and trying to redo the photo pages, and I am feelign a wee bit icky. We need to go to the store and get me more yogurt, it has been my lifesaver at this point! ANYWAY, I cannot rave MORE about my doctor, Dr. Zahn, his staff is unbelievably professional, personable and above and beyond! Pat just called, JUST to see how I was, WHAT a doll!!

Well here I am, WOW on the other side! I have been home since Thursday May 16th, yes you read that right!!!! TWO days after surgery I was home! You want to know the trick? YOU GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND YOU WALK YOUR ASS OFF! Taking it slow, using the pain meds, because they faciliate your abiity to MOVE. The anethesia will sit in your body and the longer you take to walk the longer it will stay there and make you feel yucky! I am doing fine, a little frustrated on how to get all this food into me, ya you heard it right!! LOL Other then that, great! Just walk, that is what I can tell you! Going to go do that NOW!

BACK, I got back yesterday afternoon! I feel good and have ONE WORD OF ADVICE.. do not WAIT for a nurse, get thine ass out of BED no more or no less then 2 hours after you get to your room from recovery. You will feel groggy, but you need to walk to get the anethesia out of your blood stream. TWO DAYS that is it, he came at 46 hours after start of surgery and told me, YOU .. GET OUT.. GO HOME you are doing great! TAKE THE PAIN MEDS .. do not try and be a hero, pain can inhibit your ability to get out of bed, TAKE THEM, there is not enough there to make you so tired you cannot move, plus GET UP AND WALK... we walked every hour... well... say we went walking at 1 pm, we would be back by 1:20 we would walk again at 2:20. So you do the math~ Other then that, DO NOT STAY AT LOS OLIVOS in PHEONIX, it SUCKS |
