I weighed in at 172.2lbs. this morning.  I struggled a little bit with the weight loss the last couple weeks.  I was doing what I'm supposed to, but the scale wouldn't move, except for going up a couple pounds.  Finally, I lost the couple  I had gained and lost a couple more!  I really Increased my fluids.  Not sure if that did the trick, but I am going to keep it up.  If I could complain about anything, it's my crazy hormones, but I 'll take it if it means losing weight and keeping it off.  I hope things even out in that dept. when i hit goal.

I weighed in today at 176lbs.!!!!!!!!  Tomorrow will be 15 weeks since my surgery.  As with all my other posts I am soooo grateful!  I attended my friends' wedding last weekend in a new, Very Sexy, size 12 dress.  I have not felt that Great in a while.  My Husband was in heaven!!!  I also just bought a trenchcoat for $20 on clearance.  It was the last one AND it's a MEDIUM!!!!  I so longed to shop at this store, but never fit in anything until they added a plus section.  Now I fit in MEDIUM????!!!!!  Thank you Jesus for this unbelievable opportunity!! Please keep me on track and help never forget where I came from so that I never return!!!!!!

Today I weighed in at 180.8lbs.  I've lost pretty quickly in the last few days.  I feel so hopeful, grateful, thankful, and blessed.  I know I could have never gotten here this quickly on my own.  I LOVE my RNY.  I f anyone should happen to read this post, I would encourage you to find a great surgeon and pursue this surgery!!!!  It saved me from a lot of continued heartache.  When I say heartache, I mean serious over the top tears and grief.  I read an email that i wrote to my husband last Valentine's day.  I never sent it to him because it was more of a cleansing of emotions for ME then something he needed to be burdened with.  I almost cried reading it, but it was a good reminder of how hopeless I felt.  That was six months ago and my life is completely different now.  I am so thankful for the blessings in my life!!!

Well,  It's been  twelve  weeks.  Time  has  gone  by  so  quickly.  I  weighed  in  today  at 186.6lbs, that  is  59.4 lbs.  from  my  heaviest  and    about  50lbs.  since  surgery.  I  can't  believe  the  transformation  my  body  and  my  mind  have  gone  through.  People  are  noticing  more  and  more  now.  I  went  to  the  local  fair  with  my  DH,  DD,  and  my  mom  and  dad.   So  many  people  stopped  to  tell  me  how  great  I'm  looking.  I  have  to  admit  that  felt  pretty  wonderful.  Glory  to  God.   For  every  blessing  He  pours  out,  I'll  turn  back  to  Praise.. (lyrics  of  a  praise  and  worship  song).   People  are  asking  me  more  and  more  how  I'm  doing  it.   I  have  been  saying  "hard  work  and  exercise ".   and  then  quickly  change  the  subject.  I  don't  feel  like  I'm  not  being  truthful,  because  I  don't  feel  as  though  I  need  to  tell  everybody.   Thank   you  all  for  your  continued  support!!!

Well, It's been a little while since I posted.  Today is my 32nd Birthday.  I weighed in at 191.8lbs.  I had hoped for 190lbs., but I'm definately not complaining.  I'm almost 10 weeks out and so VERY thankful, grateful, and completely exstatic that I had this surgery.  I sometimes feel as though I could shout it from the top of my lungs.  I see overweight people and so much want to share the GREAT news of how this surgery changed my life.  I don't of course, because this surgery is a very personal and private decision.  I have given away all my size 18 & 20 clothes.  Weird how it's kinda hard to let go of them.  I have much nicer and much smaller clothes that fit now and some that will soon, but my big clothes in a way meant a lot because I use to have to fight so hard to find SOMETHING I felt comfortable in.  That may sound trivial to some, but I think some of you out there may understand.  I can't update without saying that my Lord and Savior JESUS is why I'm here today!!!!!
