5 years post-op - I'm still alive, doing pretty great. I lost 139 lbs total (so far) and I'm trying to get my butt in gear to lose the rest of it, but I'm kinda lazy and I like Starbucks a little to...

4 years post-op update (pregnancy after surgery) - I had surgery in October 2009 and since then I've lost (and kept off) 128 lbs (Starting weight was 338!). I was unable to get pregnant for 13 years. I kind of assume I had/have ...

A little something to add to my 2 year update - I posted back in October about the past two years since my VSG. I've lost 140-something lbs and kept it off, no problem. But what I didn't know at the time of my update was that I ...

Two years after VSG - Yesterday my gmail popped up a little reminder from Obesityhelp that it was my two year surgery anniversary! I thought I'd take the opportunity (a day late, but whatever!) to upda...

They aren't all happy stories - I just stumbled across a post by a sixteen year old girl whose mother is in ICU after surgery with Dr. Almanza. I am once again reminded of how very LUCKY I was to have come throug...

222 - That was how much I weighed yesterday. Of course I expect a little fluctuation, but hey... the scale has moved in the last month so that is happy news! I still haven't gotten aroun...

One Hundred - I'm officially minus 100 pounds. FINALLY. A little OVER one hundred, actually. YAY! On the bright side, I can comfortably and consistantly wear 2XL shirts from Old Navy! I was neve...

Move dammit! - For the past few weeks I've been fluxuating between 250 and 255. I can't seem to get below 250. I think I know why. Once I started my job, they keep feeding me. And I keep feeding ...

Oh the drama - Those crazy Dr. Almanza patients are stirring things up again! ;) Good for them... us... everyone. And, shockingly, it seems like people are starting to take things seriously. Hope...

Quickie Update - The scale is still moving in the right direction. So yay for that! It would probably move faster if chocolate covered raisins didn't exist. Otherwise, not a lot to update. I start ...

Slackitude - My surgery was a little over 12 weeks ago. I keep intending to do updated photos, but you see, I'm a slacker. Will try to get some done in the next week or so. Probably. Maybe.

Numbers and such... - Just for fun I did some measuring this morning. Overall, if I re-measured in the right spots, I have lost 28.75 inches. Not too shabby! And also... I GOT A JOB. Finally.

What I was going to say... - My mom and I were going through some old papers and photos when I came across an envelope that said "Heather - 6th Grade" on it. Inside were my report cards and some forms from my ...

Granny - My husband and I just got home from visiting my family over Christmas. It was nice to see everyone, but sadly on Christmas eve, my Granny passed away. She was 93. Her funeral was M...

In which I complain a little - I can't wait to have energy again. Lately I have been super tired. I either take six hour naps or I sleep for 12 hours straight. I know I'm probably not getting enough water or pro...
