I am down 176 lbs.  I started out at 308 and now I am at 132.  I wanted to stop at 150, but I keep loosing.  I'm not complaining but I don't want to get to thin!  But other than that evertything is going great.  I want to do so much stuff!  Sometimes I get mad when others don't!!! (lol)

Just had my one year anniversary, I have lost a total of 155 lbs in exactly one year!  My office visit just happened to fall on my anniversary date, so that was cool.  Just to think back one year ago the changes my life has gone through and all I can say is WOW!!!  I started out at 308 I am now at 153 with just 3 lbs til goal! 

I finally made it to One~Derland...

I haven't been updating like I should but I have been a little busy.  I went to see the doctor on May 18, 2007 and I was down to 226.  He said everything looked good and that I was going in the right dirction and he gave me an "A".  WHOO HOO!!!!  He said he didn't need to see me for another 3 mons.   Hopefully I will be in "ONEDERLAND" by then! lol 

I had a birthday on June 3 and had said that before my surgery, that I would love to weight atleast 220 by my birthday.  On my birthday I woke up and weighed for the day and was so excited when I read "218!"  That was the best birthday present I ever gave myself.  I just loved my Birthday Cake, My husband got me a watermelon half and put birthday candels on it and it was really good.  No it wasn't my normal B-Day cake, but it was just as good!  That was so sweet for him to think of that.  

After weighing today I am now at 215 and wearing a size 16.  I have lost a total of 93 lbs and gone from size 26/28 to a 16. 
 
I will try and update my page more often and post some pics.

Well I haven't updated lately, so I thought that I would.  I am drain free, that last one to come out was a "DOOZIE"!!!!!!  But It is over with and gone.  I have been trying to follow my diet, it's just hard to eat when your not hungry.  I mean I am never hungry!!!  I am thursty though, so I try to drink as much as I can and get my protein in.  I really like to eat fruit, strwberries and raspberries are my favs.  They go down so easy and hit the little sweet tooth I have sometimes.  So far I haven't eaten anything I am not suppose to, ys for me!  I have not experienced any dumping, YET!!!  I dont want to either....  Well I will update more soon, and by the way I am down 62 pounds.  YAHOO!!!!!!

Today I had my 2 week follow up with my Dr. and everything looks great as he put it.  Hydration was good and I lost 12 lbs and 14 lbs of fat.  So that means I am turning fat into muscle as well, which he really liked.  I will be starting my chewable vitamins "Building Blocks" back tomorrow.  I also had my Blake drain removed, that was a relief.  Will up date more soon.

Well my surgery went well and my hospital stay was not that bad.  I had my surgery on Thursday Feb. 15th and came home the following Sunday.  I have a Blake Drain and a G-Tube.  They are not that bad, other than I can't sleep on my left side.  The G-Tube helps with getting all of my water in with my eating schedule.  Keeps me really hydrated.  The Blake Drain is used to check for leaks around my new pouch.  I have to drink Blue PowerAde for 14 days and if I see any Blue in my drain I stop eating and drinking immediately and call Dr. Mitchell. 
I have been  getting along pretty good, I couldn't wait to get home and take a shower.  The unit I was in didn't have a bathroom and my hair was in need of a washing!!!! lol  Also, The hospital bed is an air mattress and very hard to scoot yourself over and get comfortable.  But the staff was really nice and helpfull.  I try not to get on the scale to weigh, but it is hard, I have noticed more inches lost than pounds.  Alot of my clothing has become loose and that is one of my WOW moments that I have had.  I have also had some more WOW moments, like going to the Dr. and having room on both sides of the chair, not squeezing in to the chair and having the arms of the chair choke you.  I will post more WOW moments later.  I just wanted to say that so far so good and I am doing the best job I can on following my Dr.'s orders and taking care of myself.  I wish all pre-ops and post-ops the best of luck on their Weight Loss Journey.

I am getting things ready around the house, and packing my overnight bag!  I have been very nervous but I know they will soon pass.  I think I have everything ready other than a couple of things I need to pick up at Wal-Mart.  Like Chap Stick and some slippers.  Other than that I have everything.  

Thank you Lord for all my many blessings!

I went to see Dr. Mitchell today and everything looks good.  I had lost weight, some was water though and they took me off a water pill I was taking and sent me to have pre-op blood work done and to pre register.  It was an all day thing but what I do know is less to do later.  I paid my part to Dr. Mitchell so that is taken care of and on my day of surgery I will pay the hospital part.  They said they will call me with my total payment due.

Paid to Dr. Mitchell - $500.00
Paid to MRH - $800.00
Already paid to hospital for EGD - $200.00

Today I started my pre-op diet, I will do this diet for 2 weeks.  This diet also help you to have the surgery done the lap way instead of open.  Man the diet was Ok, but the bowel prep was awful.  I didn't think that I could ever get those 4oz down!!! lol  I hope I never have to do that again...
