Surgeon TestimonialH.S. SohiDr. Sohi is a very informative surgeon. I found him to be respectful, accomodating and just overall sensative. I was very scared before my first meeting with him because of other peoples comments on other surgeons. I am happy that I was able to have Dr. Sohi as my surgeon. My surgery went great, there were no complications. He contacted my husband when I finished surgery to let him know I was okay and to advised when he should come visit and checked on me everyday I was in the hospital. I would recommend him to others. |

Everything is still going great!! Down 109lbs thus far, yay!! I am happy about my weight loss so far at this point, although I think the last 2 months, my loss has slowed down. I am averaging about ten pound loss a month. Nothing to put my nose up to, but was hoping it would still keep going faster than that. I just have to take it in stride and just be thankful, it's still going down. Slowly now but surely, I guess I just don't want it to stop. Needless to say everything is going great, I am careful with what I eat and how much of it I eat. Some things like cherries I keep eating to much of and am having to stop eating it out of a bag, so I don't eat too many. I just love them and it goes down so nice and easy.
I bought my first black dress the other day and it looks great, I was so happy because I remember always trying on dresses and skirts and rememberinmg how offel they looked. This dress is actually a 3 in 1 style so I am able to wear it as dress or a skirt...so happy about that.
I started out at 354 pre op, 336 at surgery date and now down to 245lbs, my goal is to hit 199lbs and then I will set another long term goal of hitting 180lbs...I am 6 feet so I think that would be a great body weight for me. Can't wait to be in the 100's...such a life changing tool, I am so happy I finally decided to go with the RNY. I love my RNY!! It's changed my life!!

It's been a while since I posted and thought I would post something for an update. So far everything has been going well. My blood tests have been coming in good this time, although my HDL levels were a little low, but was told with more exercise that this would increase. I have had no issues and am doing great. Almost at 100lbs down and it feels great. Fitting into a size 16 pants from a 24, a XL to a L shirt from a 3x...it's wonderful to shop in normal stores!! Those of you looking into it or just getting surgery done...it's worth it!!
Have a great weekend everyone, until next time!!

Yesterday I received a call froom the dietician stating that my lab result were in and that my Vitamine D levels were very low. She put me on 4000iu per day, from 1000. I was also dehydrated, but this test was taken like March 23 2011 and I have been able to drink ALOT more since then, so I don't think I am dehydrated still. My next bloodwork isn't until June 3, so we'll see how that goes.
Yesterday I also quit my job. I have been working at the hospital for 4 years now and have decided that it's time for me to complete my last year of studies in Social Work full time and get it done and over with. I have been doing part time school and working for ever it seems. Now it's time to just end it and get my degree in April!! It was a big and scary decision but I did it. My last day is May 13, 2011. I start school next week for the summer session.
Well to update about food intake, everything has been going well still. There were a few days where I ate too fast, not paying attention and it ended up coming back up right away but other than that, trying all new foods has been good. I have been able to intake Bananas, Mango, Strawberries, watermelon and going to try Apples today sometime. I haven't tried salad yet but I will probably in a month or so. I wanna get all the fruits down first.
I weighed in yesterday and I am now down to 293lbs that's a 62lb loss so far. I went shopping on the weekend, to get a pair of pants cause mine were just falling off and came out 2 sizes smaller...woo hoo. That right there was a GREAT feeling. My shirt size is now an XL not a 2x or 3x .
So, so far everything is going well!! And I plan to keep it that way....

Yesterday was a rough day with getting protein foods down, ever since I woke up, nothing protein like would go down, I kept bringing it all back up. Today I am doing much better with it. But I have been eating more liquid type foods just to ease back into it, so we'll see what my meatloaf dinner brings.
I am starting to hate my scale right now...frustrating, it's been going so well and for the past 2-3 weeks I have been stuck between 308 and 312 up and down....it's driving me nuts. I know it will come off, but it makes me think about what if I am that rare person that gets the surgery, follows everything and stops weight loss, I mean is that even possible? Okay, I keep trying to tell myself to quit it and stop thinking these negative thoughts, but it's hard not too, especially when you want to break the 300 mark. This weight is where I always struggled, everytime I lose weight I get to this weight and then it stops and goes back up again, which is why I think I am having these negative thoughts. Deep down I know, this isn't going to be the case, but again, I guess it's just something I have to go through.
That's my quick update...But over all I am feeling better than before!! 50 pounds lighter!!

Yesterday I kept getting pressure in my throat after eating and I couldn't understand why. I sat back and looked at the foods I was able to tolerate and how I was eating and came to the realization that I was getting used to eating again and was starting to take bigger bites of food, leading to swallowing bigger amounts of food. I realized I needed to go back and take tiny tiny bites at one time and have been good ever since. Amazing the things you come to realize and how easy it is to slip into an old pattern. I am just glad that's all it was. The only thing that I seem to be bothered with is nausia here and there, it just comes on some days and lasts for a little while. I know I have read that it can last up to 2-3 months post surgery, so hopefully it will go away, but other than that all is still well. I did some yard work yesterday and today and hope to ease back into the gym in a couple of weeks. I start work on Monday and am going to get through that first week first before moving on to the gym. One thing at a time!
