My 2 year post op report
on March 19, 2010 6:32 am
My how the time flies. I hit my 2 year mark on 3/4/10. I have to say that this all has been pretty easy! I did drop down way too low at 123lbs but now I am up to 133lbs. The weight gain scares me but I also know that I looked way too thin at 123. I am happy to report that life is great. I am so glad that I had surgery and have had this great oppertunity at a fresh start!

I can't believe that I haven't updated since June! Well I am down below my goal and weighing in a 125 which is fine with me but friends say I am too thin. I never have been this thin in my life, it is actually kind of fun hearing those words! I still think that one day I am going to wake up and be fat again... I hope that feeling goes away soon. Everything else is great, in love and happy! :) Couldn't ask for more right now!

8 months post op
on November 3, 2008 6:30 pm
8 months have flown by! I am down 85lbs and am only 20lbs from goal. WOW! I started at a size 20 pant and am down to a 12/14. I can wear a medium top (pear shaped). I do not feel thin but feel better and healthier. My hair is no longer falling out and is even starting to grow back, lots of little baby hairs stick up! I sometimes surprise myself at how much I can eat, like a whole piece of pizza. And other times still can't eat much at all. I feel pretty again when I look in the mirror, which is a great confidence booster. Hope everyone is doing well. Please remember to vote tomorrow!

6 month labs
on October 21, 2008 9:20 am
I finally got my labs back from the 6 month follow up and to my surprise they were all normal! I am horrible about taking my vits and shakes. I feel good and the hair loss is getting a little better.

5 months post op
on August 4, 2008 11:04 am
Hello. Today I am 5 months post op. My hair is still falling out despite all my efforts of increasing vits and protein. I am down from a sz 20 pant XL top to a sz 14 pant and med top. I am pear shaped and have always been a lot smaller on top. My arms, however, are awful (to me). I have batwings. I would love to see some post op pics of scars to see if the surgery is really worth it! TTYL

4 months
on July 7, 2008 10:03 pm
This past month has been odd. I am able to eat more than last month, I haven't thrown up at all (yay) but I also haven't lost ANY weight. I need to get my ass to the gym, but it has been so great to go out and have fun. I haven't been able to do that in so long! The hair is still falling out as well. Hopefully this next month starts evening out!

Where is all my hair going?!?!
on June 27, 2008 10:07 am
My hair is falling out like crazy right now, I have a ton of it and can spare to loose some; however, it is still freaking me out. Will it grow back? Does Biotin really work? Any insight would be great! Thanks~

My Story

I have battled with my weight ever since I can remember. I was always the tall one in school so on top of being overweight I was called other names for being tall as well (5' 9"). I have been 250ish three other times in my life and each time have lost 100lbs on fad diets just to gain it all and more back. I am ready for a more permanent solution. I am 28 years old, I have high blood preassure and horrible gerd. I have realized a lot about people and myself during this yo yo process. I have realized how superficial certain friends were and how hurtful others have become.  I am tired of hiding and ready to reclaim my life and LIVE my life.

Thank you for reading my story and sharing my journey.
