ONE YEAR!
on July 10, 2009 5:13 am
I had my year anniversary yesterday.  To date I have lost 115 lbs.  I was on quite a stall there...for several months.
I finally called my Dr's office last week, talked to someone who had had surg as well. She said, you prob have gotten lax about what you are eating..and need to exercise more.
I hung up the phone and felt somewhat insulted...I was thinking...I know what I can eat!  So I got on dailyplate.com and put in eveyrthing I had eaten the past couple of days..and lo and behold I had been eating too much!

So the moral of the story is NEVER quit tracking your food..it sneaks up on you!

Now I am starting to lose again..I just started tracking again, and upping exercise Monday....so I am hopeful to get the rest of this excess weight off..and even healthier!!

I have lost 90 lbs! AMAZING!  I am so thrilled.  Jan 9 will be my 6 month surgiversary...and I was hoping to be at 100 by then..but I am happy with my progress so far!
This Christmas season is much different than last year...I have so much more energy...and more things are getting done!

3 MONTH BLOOD WORK
on October 30, 2008 9:33 am
I am officially NOT a diabetic anymore! My A1C was 5.9 which is normal!
That is worth the surg alone!
The fact that I have now lost 81 lbs is great too!
My bloodwork did indicate that I am low on Vit D...so I have added a supplement for that, and low on something else.....that I need to eat green leafy veggies....so I am trying to do that.  Its hard, cuz after you get the protein, theres little room for anything else!
My bad cholesterol was 118....about 90 pts down from a year ago! Thats amazing!
So mostly great news!

My Story

I have been obese ALL my life.  I am 45, married for 7 years to the LOVE of my life.  I have a 19 yr old stepson in Boston.  We have 2 dogs that are our babies.
I have been interested in WLS for several years.  However, insurance problems etc have kept me from it.  Now, my husband and I have decided to go ahead and self pay.
I had been fortunate that until about a year ago I had not had any health complications due to my weight.  In the last year I have been diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure.
So, at long last, now is the time for ACTION!
