I am 5 days from being 5 months out. I am down 79 pounds. Not as great as I would have hoped but i do eat pretty much anything that i want. Sweets tend to make me sick if i eat much of it. I swim alot but thats pretty much all of the exercising that I can do. I have a back issue and recently I injured my right shoulder and so its pretty much useless.  I am way more active than I use to be. I do find that I am not hungry very much but I do eat.  i tend to get week spells at times. I am not sure why. The heat seems to make it worse. I had my blood work done last month. My calcium was low and a few other thing were on the low side but my doctor said not too worry yet. My bad cholesterol dropped 70 points since my last test before surgery. That was awesome. My good cholesterol was still high and only dropped about 7 points so he put me on a med to see if it drops any. I still have no regrets. 79 pounds is 79 pounds i dont have to carry anymore. I still want to loose  another 100 pounds and I think I will be happy.

I am home sleeved and ready to lose.  The Dr. said that it went perfect. I have 6 holes in my belly. I have problems with spasms whether I drink anything or not. The last few day I have had more nausea. I want to chew something really really bad. lol But jello will have to do. I am down 4 pounds this morning. Made me feel better. Had more energy than I thought I would for sure. I try to take a nap but my body wants to move tired or not. lol Anyway i want to thank all of my OH friends. Y'all have truly been a blessing to me.I don't think I would have been as successful with out you guys. For anyone who is scared please think of your life as it is now ans think of how it can be as a healthier person.  It was the best thing I could have ever done for myself.

I completed my pre-op Tuesday. As far as I know everything is great. I cant wait to be sleeved. Took 5 hours in New Orleans to meet my Dr. and have pre-op. I am leaving on the 15th to get there ahead of time and be ready. Might go to the zoo. Meet are great sleeve friend of mine. .  I am getting ready to move into a new house. renovations on the appartment we are in now and prepairing for surgery. So I am staying busy busy busy.  I am a little nervous as this is a major surgery but I am even more excited to start my journey with my body to a whole new lifestyle. I do want to say a special thank you to all of my OH friends who have supported me and watched me go thru the ups and downs of WLS. You are the best.

I was finally given a date of Feb. 16th. I am so ready and cant wait!!!! Best Valentines ever lol.
