I am finially doing this.  I have been thinking of this for years.  Have been doing all the different diets and gaining it all back + some.  Like most people here, I have been big all my life.  My Mom said I got heavy in the 1st grade.  I suppose that is a time in my life that I really don't won't to talk about and the reason I stay big.  I lose weight and as soon as people start telling me I look good, thats it.  I start slipping and eating.  I eat candy and sweets galore.  I have 4 kids, Josh and Shannon 18 (no not twins, she is my neice) and Jacob 10 and Mackenzie 6.  I actually had the 2 boys and are raising the girls.  I have had Shannon since she was 4 and she is graduating this year.  I have been married to the love of my life for almost 23 years.  He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.  I don't think I could have made it through this surgery without him.  He is the greatest.  I hope this surgery helps me be a better Mom and show them how to be healthy.

6 month check up
on October 22, 2007 4:35 pm
I had my 6 month check on Thurs.  I am down 50% of my starting weight. I am fastly approaching onerland, Yeah.  I have lost 102 lbs as of this morning.  The dr was pleased with my lose.  He started me on B-12 pills b/c I have no energy.  I feel so much better just since Thursday.  I might actually get this house cleaned up, NOT, LOL.

Almost to 100 lbs lost

I am down 95 lbs as of yesterday.  I am actually wearing a size 22w jeans.  I have not worn that size in a long, long time.  Starting to have wow moments and it feels good.  My youngest little girl called me skinny mini the other night.  People are telling me that I am doing great and keep up the good work.  That is when I start eating b/c I don't won't to be noticed.  So I had an appt. with my therpist yesterday and he is the best, LOL.  We are going to start dealing with all my problems from the past so I can use this tool to its fullest.  Why can't more men be like him, LOL.  It will be a long road but I will get there and be the skinny mini my little thinks I am, LOL.  I took my DH out to lunch yesterday and he was laughing b/c I look like a little old lady driving our suburban.  He said that my butt has shrunk so much I can't see over the wheel to drive.  He started calling me mini Tammy.  He has such a great sense of humor.  I will try to get some updated pics and post.

Hi, I am almost 5 months out and am down 88 lbs from the beginning of this journey.  I am doing pretty good except for the exercise part, LOL.  I have 4 kids and work a full time job.  I never seem to have time to exercise b/c I am always on the go.  I had a routine down and then school started back and that was the end of that.  I am having trouble dealing with some things from my past and need serious therapy for it.  I am not sure that Dr. Armstrong can help me with this but I am going to email and see when they can get me in.  I have a new tool to make me lose this weight but most of my problem is in my head.  I am more happy with the result now than I was in the beginning and am glad I went thru with it.  I just need to follow-up on this mind game.

I am down 27 lbs since surgery.  I am on phase 4 stage and am doing pretty good on it.  I have noticed that I don't chew good enough and am working on that.  I return to work on June 6 and am dreading that.  I don't feel good most of the time and sleep alot.  This might have something to do with my depression pills not absorbing like they should.  I am going to call the Dr. on Monday.  My daughter just gratuated from high school and is going to the beach for a week.  I will be a bundle of nerves before she gets back.  I have found that I need to use self control b/c I have not dumped on sweets (daughters b-day, very small piece of cake).  I did dump on butter on a baked potato so I guess the greasey stuff will get me, LOL.

I am 12 days out and still not sure if this was for the best.  I am not getting in my protein but I am trying.  That protein stuff is gross to say the least.  The drain tube is hurting and has been itching today.  I get that out Wednesday.  I am not doing good on the full liquid diet either.  It seems that once I eat the first thing in the morning, I feel stopped up.  Like it didn't go on down like it should.  Hopefully it will get better.
