    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

It's been 14 1/2 months
on August 22, 2008 7:05 pm
I had labs done last week and other than my ALT and AST, everything was good. I take my vitamins, B12 injection, calcium and iron each day. I drink about 100 oz. of water each day and eat on average 80 grams of protein.

Because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and was taking Methotrexate injections, my doctor thinks that is what is messing up the liver labs. I will have them redrawn in 4 weeks.

My weight is now 142. I lost 3 lbs. in the past month after I thought I had pretty much stabilized.

The following is what I posted in my blog on my 1 year surgerversary, 6-5-08.

Yes, it has been 1 year ago today that I had my Gastric Bypass. It's been a good year. Having the surgery is a big decision and it's one that I am so glad that I made.

A year ago, I wore size 20W pants and 2X tops. This year I wear size 6 pants and small tops.

A year ago, I was on numerous meds. This year I am on vitamins.

A year ago, I was pre diabetic with a A1C of 6.7. This year it is 5.4.

A year ago, I had high cholestrol. This year it is 138.

A year ago, I got out of breath just carrying a laundry basket. This year I don't remember the last time I was out of breath.

A year ago, I used a BiPap to sleep due to sleep apnea. This year I don't need it and don't even snore.

A year ago, I weighed 258, down from my January all time high weight of 272. This year I weight 148.

* I will post current photos tomorrow. Visit my Flickr to see the changes in me over the past year.

Update

I mostly update on my blog which is listed on the left under my profile if you care to read. On my blog you will also find a link to my Flickr where you can see more photos of my weight loss journey this past year.

The good news is I am finally a "normal" weight!! Two years ago, I would have never thought I could say that again. I now weigh 149. In February of 2007 I was 272 which is my highest weight ever. It's been 10 1/2 months since my surgery and it's been a wonderful year!

Single Digit Pants
on February 2, 2008 8:26 am

When I was out shopping the other day I bought a pair of size 8 pants thinking they would encourage me to get exercising not just walking or using the Gazelle. I didn't try them on but when I got home I wanted to see how much it would take before they fit. OMG, they fit perfect! I was so happy and couldn't believe it! I honestly do not remember the last time I was a size 8. My wedding gown in 1981 was a junior 9/10 so it's been a really long time. lol

Happy Birthday to me!
on January 21, 2008 7:15 am
Yesterday was my 52th birthday and I haven't felt this good in years! I am down to 158 and wearing size 10P. 

The other day I went to the library and used the stairs to the 2nd floor. In the past, by the time I got up there, I would be out of breath, my heart would be pounding out of my chest, I could hear my heart pounding in my head and would feel almost faint. I would have to sit a few moments before looking at books. Well, last week when I got to the 2nd floor, I could continue on to look at books. I wasn't even out of breath!! OMG, what a wonderful feeling it was! Before it was like I was carrying another person up those stairs with me. I have lost 114 lbs. since 1/31/07.

I will update my photos later today.
