I have now lost 6 1/2 lbs since my last appointment (2 weeks ago) YEAH! I'm struggling a bit craving something sweet but so far i have no given in more than a little bit of chocolate syrup in some skim milk. I have eaten some carbs every day but I am trying my best to keep them to a minimum. I'm totally in LOVE with the low carb whole wheat wraps they sell at Sam's Club. I've made them into wrap sandwiches, pizza pockets, quesadillas & tacos. At 6 net carbs per wrap they are a fantastic alternative to bread and other starchy items for me.
Anyway why am i feeling inspired today you ask? Well i was reading on the DS (Duodenal switch) message board and a lady that had surgery in November of 2008 has lost 201 lbs. She started at 380 and now weighs 179 in not quite a year and a half. She was saying how great she feels, how much energy she has and she can fit in a size 14/16. WOW! I mean i read stories like this literally ALL THE TIME on that board, but this one really hit me today, that could be me. By the end of 2011 I could actually be shopping for clothes in a regular section. How friggin awesome would that be?

I just saw this link to your blog Sarah....you are doing great!!!! You can and WILL accomplish your goals!!! Losing weight has always been such a struggle for me as well...and it certainly isn't getting any easier as I get older. I have A LOT of weight to lose after Ansen gets here (and I have only gained like 7 lbs this pregnancy :( -but I gained more then enough BEFORE the pregnancy) so I will hopefully be VERY inspired by your journey and ready to start my own weight loss journey soon!! Good luck at your upcoming appt and hoping you get your approval soon!
You are certainly an inspiration...so proud of you..love you tons--gabby
