    Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! I will be praying for you, and I know you will come through surgery with flying colors. Pretty soon, you will be a big ol’ loser!! I’m not going to tell you that the first few weeks after surgery will be a bed of roses because it was pretty bad for me. I had lap RNY surgery on 5/24/05. But today, I feel fine and the only thing that I regret is that I didn’t have surgery in 2004 when I first started researching it. So, if you find that you’re having a hard time coping right after surgery, please know that it DOES get better. Don’t ever hesitate to email me if there is anything I can do for you – even if you just need a pep talk! So here’s to you… may you have a successful surgery, improved health, energy galore, many “wow moments”, and fabulous before-and-after pics! God bless! Hugs, Tracy

My Story

I never knew how to update my profile. So here is my try in putting something together.

3/4/06- Today is 11 days Post Op and I'm FINALLY starting to feel like myself. The first few days were really rough. I didn't think I would make it through. I even second guessed why I did it. But no regrets now. The only problem I have now is protein shakes. Some don't taste bad but I seem to get sick as soon as I drink them. So we are trying lots of new things...We'll see what works. I also have to remember to drink a lot. Things just can't seem to taste great.

4/24/06- Wow I can't believe it's been so long since I updated. I'm doing great finally. It was so hard at first. I'm walking and trying to get in as much protein as possible. I'm down from a 24 to a 18/20 depending on the cut. Ok gtg back to work. Just wanted to do a quick update.

5/21/06 I know it's been a while but I have been so busy. I'm doing great joined a gym and am happy than I have ever been. I can't wait to see what keeps happening

9/1/06 Wow it's been a long time since I have updated. You never realize how quick time goes by. Things are great. I can't believe all the weight I've lost. I'm down from a tight 24 to a 14/16. I can't remember the last time I wore a 14. I'm also wearing a XL/L in shirts...I use to be a 3X. It's crazy

10/22/06.. So I'm really bad at updating this. Today I'm 1.5 lbs  from 100LBS. I can't believe it. It's been 8 months. I'm loving my new life. I'm in a 12/14 and a L top. I have so much energy....

11/7...So I'm at 100lbs. I hit it two weeks ago. However I'm stuck now...but it feels good to be this low. I just don't want to gain anyway weight back and still want to loose 30 more. UGH I'm so frustrated

 1/25 We'll I've lost  115lbs. Who knew it would slow down so much. I have 15lbs to go. I feel great but have a hard time w/ the new me...I'm in a M/L shirt and 10/12 pants. Some days are better than others..but I'm healthy now...that is all that matters

2/21/07 Well today is 1 yr out! I cannot believe I did it! I made it! I'm so proud of myself. I've had so much help and support. My best friend has been through it all with me and without her help I wouldn't have made it a yr. WOW I can't believe it
