OMG I feel like crap!!!

OK so I just ate a burger I saw featured on Diners, Dives, and Drive thru's....OK so the title should tell you why I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I have not had anything with as much fat since the night before surgery which was March 30th. My reason for making this "burger" was cuz the kids thought it looked great and asked me last night if we can have it for dinner tonight, and I thought "sure why not, I can have it cuz its all protein". So after work and school we go to the store and buy all the necessary ingredients (will tell you in a few), we go home and start the process.
It's a burger (not bad), with Blue Cheese crumbles and Bacon (very bad)...LOL...I wrapped mine in lettuce but had to add mustard and mayo (small amounts) and have a pickle on the side. The first bite was the BOMB.com!! Then the second bite sent my tummy into shock, and I could not go any further. What was I thinking, yes it was protein but full of greasy fat. I hope I didn’t hurt myself or sabotaged anything. I looked at my son and told him I need to stick with the healthy foods ONLY...he laughed!! This is my son’s burger



















Please remind me to step away from the burger next time I think it’s a good idea!!!

I almost forgot to update yall....drum roll please....I am 47.6 pounds down and have not been sleeved 2 months yet. I LOVE MY SLEEVE; I have never lost this much, the most I have lost in the past was 40 pounds. So I am going to hook yall up with a more recent photo once I hit that big 50, I hope it happens next week before the 31st, which would be nice.

Feelin good, Looking good....

I know it's been quite some time since I last blogged, but in honor of my new follower I felt it was time to update all my peeps!!

I must say that this has been fairly easy...aside from all the head hunger and my mind playing games with me. OK so my surgery went really well, I went to Mexico and was treated wonderfully; the hotel and hospital were all I expected plus some. OK now flash forward 6 weeks (I think) and I have lost 43 pounds....yay me!!! I have been eating solid food since 5 weeks and have been doing pretty well, I do get full fast so I don’t eat that much. I eat two to three small meals a day and drink a protein drink, and water sometimes coffee. I don’t eat carby things, and I try to get only protein in, I really miss salads and veggies but I'm working on that slowly. Anyway I really hope by 6 months out I'm 100 pounds down, but I'm not going to stress about it. I have not bought anything new; I have way too many clothing sizes in my closet so I got that covered. Lets me see what ells......I feel lighter, I have more energy, and I think I look better. I promise I will upload a new pic once I get to 50 pounds gone. I'm really happy I did this; I am not (to) hungry so it’s been easy not to eat everything in sight. Although I find myself drawn to the cooking and travel channel more now than before. It’s like I want to just fantasize about all the things I can’t eat...crazy!! Anyway thank you for sticking with me and I do love reading all of your blogs, I think you guys are doing fabulous and I draw on you guys for inspiration.
