    Wednesday 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!

Tummy Tuck on February 25th, 2010
on March 21, 2010 9:07 pm

Just one more wonderful change to my body!  I had abdominoplasty done on February 25.  I was one happy woman when I saw my new flat tummy just hours after surgery!  It's been almost a month now and I'm still so excited about the results.  I'm getting around fine now with some discomfort at times but each day is a better day.  To me, this surgery was no piece of cake.  During the first and second week I really wondered whether or not I'd ever be able to stand up straight again but it happened!  Yeah!   The absolute best part is that now when I  wear a fitted dress I don't have to wear Spanx  to smooth out the roll of loose skin and when I sit down, I don't feel like I have to set my purse at my side or keep my sweater around me to hide my rolls.   

I thank God for all the blessings he has given me.
I am grateful for my family who has loved me, cared for me and supported me throughout this journey.
I am grateful for the weight loss surgery, it has changed my life!
I am grateful for the plastic surgery, it has added the finishing touch.

One Year Anniversary!
on October 20, 2008 6:22 am
What a great year it's been!  I weigh 133.5 lbs and I have lost a total of 90 pounds so far.  I'm extremely happy with my weight loss, improvement in health and mobility.  My self estem is at an all time high right along with my energy levels.  I can't remember feeling this good!   
My goal at this point is to try and loose about 8 more pounds and maintain between 125 lbs and 130 lbs.

9 Months Post Op, July 2008
on July 29, 2008 10:24 pm
I'm over 9 months out and still feeling great!  My weight is at 139 lbs, so far thats 84.5 pounds lost.  It's coming off so slowly now it makes me wonder if I'll get to where I want to be.  Although I'd still be happy if I were to remain at this weight. 
It's been a good summer so far.  We've had lots of fun beach days, with more still to come.

6 Months Post Op
on April 28, 2008 9:48 pm
     I'm 6 months post op and it just gets better and better!  I've lost a total of 73 pounds now.  For the past few months my  weight loss has slowed considerably to like 6 or so pounds a month.
     I noticed that I was loosing  a significant amount of hair at around 3.5 months and thats been pretty scary at times but now in the last few days it seems to be looking more like normal hair loss once again.  Yeah!   
     I continue to take my vitamins and protein drinks.  I find that I can eat about 3 to 4 ounces of food.  I'm excercing when I can.  I walk on the tread mill and I swim laps at the pool.  
     Did I tell you that I'm LOVING THIS!  I feel Great!  I'm so very happy that I had the RNY.  It has changed my life for the better and I'm going to do everything in my power to never go back to being morbidly obese, unhealthy and miserable again!  
     I've had so many wow moments that it's hard to name them all.  
Health wise everything is great!
Size wise, oh my!  I wear a size 10 comfortably but the other night I squeezed my tush into an 8!  That was a wow for me!
The compliments are always wow moments.   
The very best Wow is just the way I feel and thats Awesome!

50 POUNDS LIGHTER AND LOVING IT!
on January 21, 2008 9:22 pm

It's been 3 months now and I've lost 50 pounds.  I feel wonderful!  Honestly, I would be happy staying at the weight I am right now because I feel that good.   I can't imagine how great I'll feel with 50 more pounds lost, but I'm sooooooooooo going to find out!
I love the changes that are taking place.  I'm taking up less space.  I love the freedom of movement and driving a car without the steering wheel pressed up against my belly.  I love laying on my back to sleep at night and not feeling like I'm going to suffocate, no more sleep apnea!   I actually sleep through the night without waking up at least three or four times.  It's amazing what a peaceful sleep does for me.  My body used to hurt and I took tylenol just about every day before surgery.  I don't take any now, there are no more aches and pains.   I love hearing my son tell me how skinny I'm getting!  Just recently he pulled me to the mirror so I could see for myself!  hehe,  I love that boy!  The support my family and friends give me is awesome.  I am lucky to have them!  
I love going through this journey with my best friend who has also had this surgery.  We're getting healthy and skinny together!  Yeah!   Now we can both tie our shoes without the bows on the side!   Oh and I even have a lap now! Yeahhhhhh!

My Story

Hi, my name is Lois.  I am 45 years old and I live in North Carolina.  I'm 4'll and 3/4" tall and I hit my highest weight this year maxing out at 227 lbs.  Boy that was hard to say!  I have been married to a wonderful man for 24 years.  I have 2 great kids, a son 13, a daughter 21 and a beautiful granddaughter who is 2 years old.  I have been blessed with family and friends and I am so grateful for each and every one of them.  I've never been skinny, mostly athletic until my children came along and I haven't been at a normal weight since.  I've dieted and exercised all along only to loose some then regain over and over again.  A major reason why I want to have this surgery is because diabetes is prevalent in my family and it took the life of my mother who was only 62.  I fear that I am destined to the same path if I don't change things now.
