I am down 84 llbs and can't seem to move the scales for about two weeks now.Pumping more protien and fluids as much as i can so i will see what happens.

This has been a great year for me.I feel so much more energized than ever before.I am looking forward to feeling even better.I want to wish all my OH family a very HAPPY NEW YEAR  and whatever it is you are doing please be safe.One resolution is to figure out how to post a real pic.Everytime i go to upload one it says pic is too big.i don't understand why it is doing that cz i can post them on facebook and my space just fine.Any ideas please share.

Please all have a safe and fun holiday.MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.

i feel wonderful at this point.Dancing around the house while i clean and wrap presents and baking.I have always danced (alone) anyway but now i am feeling so good these days.It's an amazing feeling.In good holiday spirits and looking forward the being with the family and sharing laughter with my friends.Merry christmas to all my OH friends.

I am down 70lbs and you all know how good that feels.i bend over so quick and come right back up with out all the maoning.i can reach straight down and put on my socks.i use to ahve to sit on couch and turn my leg up beside me to put on my shoes and socks.i love to walk now.always hated it.i don't get out of breath like i use to.i feel much better to do everyday things in life.the loser my clothes get the better i feel.i still can't eat very much.i know i am suppose to eat at least a cup but i'm good if i get 1/2 cup.but it's ok with me like that.i don't even think about food.i eat to keep from feeling that sick feeling and getting dizzy.i have not wanted to go out to eat like i use to.i am just loving it.i remember that wieght lose commercial with that actress in it but can't remember the name of it but she would say at the end "THIS IS LIVING"  well yes it is because that's what you do when you feel better,you get out and live.
although i have noticed in a lot of my friends and people i know that have had this surgery is that the more wieght we lose the more our wrinkles show.when we're big the fat fills out the wrinkles..lol..but i have never been one to worry about looks so i'm not too worried about it. it's all about feeling good to me not looking good.but if i look good in the end then i'm not complianing.

I am finally 199.been waiting  while to see that number.i never thought i would see under 200 again.i keep trying to upload a pic but it keeps saying pics are too big but they are normal size in my files.john travolta will have to express my feelings until i can figure it out..lol. i just want to say thank you for all the help and support from all my OH friends.ya'll have been wonderful through this whole journey.i enjoy the tips and the stories.i am very thankful for this site. i am proud of all you including myself for all our success.i am feeling great with my 66 lb lost.thank you again everyone.

hope you all had a fun halloween,i did not eat n e candy at all...yay! didn't even want any.i made candy bags for both my bus routes and it wasn't even tempting.i did bake a pumkin pie last night and the sugars are high.i may nibble on a piece of that but not much.have a great day everyone!

i wieghed this morning and i am 207.coming down from 265.had rny july 28th,09.i am feeling great although i have been sick this week.home today.i feel like i can do alot more now that that 58lbs isn't dragging me down.it's amazing how i can just roll right over in bed at night and not get out of breath.i love to walk now.my calves don't hurt like they use to.my sister walks with me too and i love the company of such a wonderful person in my life.just wanted to share this and hope all has a great weekend coming up.

LIFE IS GOOD! I AM THANKFUL EVERYDAY FOR MY LIFE AND ALL THE GOODNESS  GOD HAS PUT IN IT! I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT LIFE WAS GOOD NO MATTER WHAT WAS GOING ON IN IT. AS LONG AS WE ARE WAKEN EVERY MORNING AND CAN SEE THE SUN IN THE WINDOW,SMELL THE COFFEE BREWING AND CAN HEAR OUR LOVED ONES SAY "HAVE A GREAT DAY" THEN YOU CAN BETTER BELIEVE THAT GOD MADE IT HAPPEN AND IT IS GOOD.
JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT.

I AM 10 WEEKS OUT AND I AM DOWN 54 LBS..12 BEFORE SURGERY.I CAN REALLY FEEL IT NOW.WHEN I TURN OVER IN BED AT NIGHT,GETTING INTO MY HUSBANDS TRUCK AND JUST WALKING.I USE TO HATE TO WALK NOW I LOVE IT.I CAN TIE MY SHOES AND NOT GET OUT OF BREATH.I CAN BEND OVER BETTER OR SQUAT TO PICK SOMETHING UP.OH AND I DRIVE A BUS AND BEFORE WHEN I HAD TO GO TO THE BACK OF THE BUS I HAD TO SWING BACK AND FORTH TO GET BY SEATS.NOW I CAN WALK STRAIGHT BACK AND BARELY TOUCH THE SEATS AT ALL.THAT FEELS GREAT.MY WORK SHIRTS IN THE CAFETERIA ARE GETTING BAGGY AND NEED TO REPLACE THEM SOON.BUT I FEEL GREAT.
AT FIRST I WILL BE HONEST AND SAY "WHAT HAVE  I DONE" BUT AS I WAS ABLE TO DRINK MORE FLUIDS AND EAT A LITTLE MORE TO KEEP FROM GETTTING SICK I WAS OK AFTER THAT.IT HURT TO DRINK WATER FROM A BOTTLE FOR A WHILE BUT NOW THAT HAS GOTTEN BETTER SO I CAN GET IN MORE FLUIDS.I TRY ON CLOTHES I HAVE BEEN "HOLDING" ON TO...LOL..AND NOW I AM GETTING INTO THEM.FEELS GREAT!
