I noticed its been a while since I posted, but not too much has changed. I'm down 100 lbs from my highest weight, I'm weighing in at 259 right now. I got about 40 lbs more to go to hit my surgeons goals weight. I'm just enjoying life and shopping, eventhough I find that to be hard at times. I find myself grabbing at my old size then I have to look at each size down from that to kind of eyeball what my size would be. But that has gotten better in the last month or so. I'm wearing an 18W comfortably, so that's a big change from a 26/28.  Also you can see I have cut all my hair off, only because it had started thinning out in the top front to  me, so I figured I would go short, let the chemicals grow out and let it go natural for a minute to get back to its original state.  Well I will keep you posted. 

Well I'm moving right along, I got on the scale today and it said 279.4, so that is a total of 66 lbs gone since surgery and 81 lbs from my highest weight of 360 in April 2009. I'm enjoying my tool everyday, I almost like a preacher when it comes to my tool, spreading the good news letting others know where I came from and where I'm going.

and I didn't have to cry. I'm so blessed to see 33 yrs of life. I have lost 71lbs since I started my journey and don't miss 1lb of it. My birthday was actually on Tuesday, but the whole week has been a blast.

I went to the dr's on 1/8/10, they drew blood and my results came back that I'm Vitamin D insufficient and slightly anemic. So they have prescribed for me to take Vitamin D 5000 iu's 2x a day and a iron pill. I hope I don't get constipated.

I have a terrible head cold, and nothing seems to help. Then I remembered the RNY is a malabsorbitive surgery, so I could possibly not be getting what I need from the oral medicines to clear this mess up.  Does anyone have any suggestions of something I can do to get rid of my cold?  Thanks

This morning was a happy day you'll, I got on the scale and it read 298, that was so exciting. So its been 9 weeks since surgery and I have lost 47 lbs, just amazing, it feels so good to have gotten off of that roller coaster, nothing but new rides from now on.

since I last posted, but really nothing much has changed.  I've gone back to work now and its just an exciting feeling to go to the closet and everything fits, no more complaints when trying to get dressed.  I need to get back on top of walking everyday, that will help the pounds continue to drop off. I have an appt Friday to see the surgeon, this will be my follow up since surgery. I need to ask him how much weight he expects I will lose with this surgery.

Feeling good, can't complain.  I can slowly see the weight coming off. I have lost roughly 22 lbs since surgery. Almost time to snap out of being lazy and moving at my own pace, in 1 more week I will be going back to work.

I just came back from walking, I would say I did a quarter of a mile. Feeling good, I'm ready to really enjoy exercising again, but right now I'm just concentrating on rebuilding my strength that is the biggest thing.  I feel like it takes me a good hour in the morning to get my vitamins in and some protein on my stomach before I really get reved up.

It's done, now I need you all to slide in and make room for me on the "Loser's Bench". No it has not been easy at all, I was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday night about 7pm, I wasn't in my room a full 24 hrs, isn't that something.  Yeah once I was home I was terrified to put anything in my mouth, all I wanted to do was sleep, but on that 4th day I got it together.  This past Saturday, I went to the Beauty School and got my hair washed, blow dryed and flat iron.  Those synthetic braids had to come out, my head was itching so bad.  After that I went out to the mall and walked around, bought to blouses out of Belk's, got good and tired and made it back home where I dosed off on the chair.  Today is my first day home alone and do you know my husband drove my car to work, trying to keep me down, but I will accept it for right now.
