And the weight is dropping

Well I am down to 205 and I have also went down a pants size. I know i am losing weight but i feel like i look the same. My belly is still big and fat and the only change i've seen is to my face. I cant do much as far as exercising, the doctor only wants me to walk for now and i cant lift more then 10 pounds. I tried doing things around the house 2 weeks ago and tweeked my side some how making it feel like i just came out of surgery all over again. And i'm worried about my eating habits. I work 3rd shift so my sleep and eating are completly different from normal people. So i'm afraid i will be grazing at work and eating too much. Plus i have a dog and when i work she wakes me up in the middle of my sleep to take her out. I dont want to be snacking too much at those times either. I just hope i can maintain success and dont lose hope and stay motivated. I'm already getting bored with this stage of eating and wanting stuff i cant have. This does not help. Lol but all things are possible with trust and faith in God.

here are the before and after photos i have so far.

New Year

Well it is the year 2016. I am starting a new journey in life. I still live in Topeka Ks and I am still a night juvenile corrections officer. I am currently on medical leave because on December 30th 2015 I had roux-en-y surgery. I had been put on insulin for my diabetes around June and i knew i did not want to be struggeling with diabetes all my life and i did not have the discipline to stop my eating habits alone. So i had the surgery and i am 3 weeks out and I'm currently on stage 3 where i can now begin to eat soft food. I am so excited becuase i have been struggeling with eating creamed soups and malt o meal. Now i can have fat free refried beans, mashed potatoes, mashed carrots, tuna, and more then the last stage. I have lost a total of 14 pounds. But i have to get back into the gym so i can tightened up my skin. I am going crazy playing games online since i cant do much. Well back to searching pinterest for recipes. More to come.
