2 year surgiversary! on March 14, 2010 9:08 am
Can't believe I let yesterday (13th) pass without thinking about my anniversary! I don't post much, everyone seems to be on FB now. I am still happy I had this surgery, and am doing fine. I eat anything I want, just less of it! I must say, grazing is my problem now, I am always thinking about munching and need to keep the junk out of my house. A little sugar doesn't bother me, but too much will make my dump. Sometimes I eat too fast, and I will get sick from that. I have gained about 4 lbs., not obsessed with the scale like I used to be, but need to keep my weight in check, so when I think about it I will step on. I used to go up and down 2-3 lbs. but not seem to stay at one weight. I see myself eating like I used to, the same old bad habits. Gotta stop that!
Anyway, I would recommend this surgery to anyone considering it, I had no problems. Just stick with the rules!
One Year Anniversary! on March 13, 2009 11:57 am
Today I celebrate one year since surgery. I went for my check up last week and everything was good. Today I have lost 112 lbs., with 23 to goal. It has been a good journey and I appreciate all my friends on the board and it's been fun doing this together! The year has really gone by fast, it's hard to believe, but it has been a good year! I love my RNY and wouldn't hestiate to recommend it to anyone. I haven't had any problems yet, and hope I don't! I wonder what it is going to be like a year from now. I hope I can get some plastics done, cause the loose skin is bad, to me, it's something I didn't really think about before. It hangs everywhere! I think I thot I would only need a tummy tuck, but I need a body tuck!
Before I wore size 2x & 3X and now I can wear size 12's and large -medium clothes. So the bargains I got last summer clearance should fit me now! The weight is coming off really slow, but I am satisfied, and don't fret when the scale isn't moving. I did that alot in the beginning, but it will come off!
Last nite I went to dinner with my sister, and when I told her how much I weighed, she BOO HOOED and said, "When is the last time you weighed less than me?" She has always been slim, now I'm slimmer!!! It's a great feeling!!!!! I've had alot of support from my family and DH has really helped me along the way. He says I look like the young, skinny thing he married! Now, that makes me feel good!

Moving Again on February 5, 2009 9:17 am
Last week I weighed in at 178, yesterday, I was up to 181, so I wondered what is up with this! I knew the day before I had slacked on the water.... coffee I was getting in! So yesterday I made sure I drank plenty of water! So, guess what?? I am down to 175 this morning! Maybe my slow loss is due to not getting my water in! Will have to make a conscious effort to get plenty of water in!!!
Could this be the cause of several of my gal pals NOT losing? They are working out like crazy, and I am currently slacking in that department! I don't know, could it be the fluids??? Hmmm, just wondering.
Only 25 lbs. to goal!

Barely movin' on January 30, 2009 8:18 am
It's been a month since I posted and have only lost 5 lbs., but that's a total of 106 lbs. gone. I am feeling great, and have so much energy. I am kinda lazy in the workout department, but do enjoy walking. I have 29 lbs. to goal, but don't really want to be that skinny. I bought size 12 shorts the other day and they fit good now, so they may be too big this summer! Maybe if we go on a cruise in March, I can use them! I am even comfortable in boots and heels, which would have killed me before. I always went for the comfy shoes. Now I can go for the cute ones! Same with clothes!
The kids were all just home for late Christmas with Jake, and we had a wonderful time. He was so good! I think I will be able to keep up with him when he gets to running around! They grow up so fast!
Just wanted to post that I feel so much better and am so glad I did this! AND that the friends I have met here thru this process have been great, and the support is wonderful. It just really helps to post with others that have been thru this! I always highly recommend this site to anyone considering the RNY! | Leave a comment.
101 LBS. GONE! on December 27, 2008 7:40 am
At 9 1/2 months out I have lost 101 lbs.! I am NOT OBESE anymore, only overweight! The weight loss has really slowed down, but this morning I was down 3 lbs. from yesterday. Even all the sugar and crap I ate over the holidays didn't seem to effect me too bad. I have to get back on track now and stay on the right path so my loss will continue! I weigh 184 now and am 34 lbs. from the goal Dr. Lord set for me, but will be happy losing 20-25 more. I was losing about 10 lbs. a month and now am down to averaging about 5. I know I complained from the beginning about the slow loss, but am happy now, because I realized that it was gonna move slow and that is fine with me.
