Well it has been a couple of months since I have lost any weight.  Unfortunately since I have started to excercise I have allowed myself to eat more bad foods as a reward to my exercising.  I know I am crazy for saboataging myself but I am trying to get back on track and may do the whole shake thiing for two meals to help get back on the right path.  Although people still think I am losing weight, I either hide ot well or the exercising is changing my body.  I am still not happy with myself and still have self-esteem issues.  I thought I would feel a lot better with myself at this size and I somewhat do but I have a ton to work on.  I quess at 31 I am still trying to love myself since I hated myself for so long.  Thank god for therapy!  Anyway I never thought they I would ever say I only have 45 lbs to lose to be considered normal weight, I wonder if I will be happy with myself then?  Maybe all have it all figured out by 40.  So long for now and wish me luck on my last 45 lbs. 

I have lost a total of 145lbs and I am 1 year and 4 months post op.  I can't believe it.  I am now a jean size 16 and it is the most wonderful thing ever.  I am very pleased with myself and my doc stated I was one of the best weight loss outcomes of the gastric sleeve he has seen.   This really boosted my spirits finally to know that I was on target with him.  He also said that the weight will continue to come off if I do the right things i.e. deit and exercise.  The diet part has been easy but the exercise is tough and I continue to fall off the wagon but that is soon to change because I just got a puppy.  Dogs need plenty of exercise to be healthy and happy so I will have to walk him alot and I have already started and I feel great about it.  This is the happiest I have been in a long time in many realms of my life.  There have been a few long stalls but it does come off so if your in a stall have patience and don't get done on yourself because as soon as I stopped being upset about them they went away (strange but true).

Well it has been awhile since I have written on this wonderful OH website so here it goes.  Since having surgery my life has truely changed and I am in the process of trying to figure out some life things.  I have gone from a size 28/30 to a size 18/20.  The process has been great but as you already know this surgery is just a tool not a the answer to all your problems.  And you know if you still do not watch what you eat and take care of yourself your tool will not work as well as intended.  Right now I am working on trying to stick with an exercise plan since I have failed to exercise regurlarly that is probubly why my weightloss has been so slow going.  I know it sounds stupid but I have felt like a weightloss surgery failure because I haven't utilized my tool to it's full extent.  I have even put off going to follow up visits (again not dealing with issues).  I am sure others have felt this way especially on this OH website yet no one in my life can understand because they have not been through it.  So it seems like it is just better to smile and say yes I am doing great than try to explain everything.  I still have issues with food and know that I always will and if it wasn't for this wonderful tool I would most likely still be on the path to self destruction.  I know I am definately whinning here but it feels good to let it out.  So anyway wish me luck with the exercise plan so I can feel better about things and thanks for listening.  

Well I have lost 55lbs since my surgery which was 3 months ago.  I am very happy with my weight loss results and can actually shop and not have to buy the biggest size on the plus size rack.  I am fitting into some brands of 22's but not all fit me the 24's are mostly falling off or look sloppy.  I feel tons better about myself and have finally made good friends with my tiny tummy.  We now understand each other very well and if I follow it's rules I am fine with no foamies or other small issues.  The first two months the weight seemed to melt away but as time goes on its not falling off so fast.  I know it is still happening faster than without my sleeve but I am relizing that I need now need to work to get it off at the same fast rate.  I will not let this weight stay so I know I will have to push myself to do the thing that I hate EXERCISE.  I will start off with 30 mins. three days a week and work my way up and see if it helps with the weight loss.

I am pretty excited I have lost 40lbs in two months.  I am down 2 pant sizes and approaching a third.  Yeah I am so happy.

Well it is finally the new year and it has started off kinda scary.  First my christmas was on Dec.30 because my mom was in the hospital the week before that because of more fluid in her lungs.  My mother has now been diagnosed with Lymphoma and will start chemo shortly.  It was really depressing to be in the hospital on christmas day especially when I was asked to be a wittness and sign a paper for this young guy to state that his father is giving him the right to chose like do not ressesitate.  Luckily they needed two signatures which meant my sister had to come too and she has just graduated from nursing school in San Deigo because I was slightly uncomfortable but she knew exactly what to say.  Thank god for my sister because she has been able to come up when my mom has been in the hospital to take care of her and I don't know how I would be able to handle it without her.  

My new years promises are 
1. Be a better wife
2. Save money
3. Buy a house
4. Simplify!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Take more care of myself

I am down 30lbs and I am now under 300lbs.  I am so happy to finally be out of the 300's.  I have come to the relize not to be so concerned about the weight coming off.  I mean we really are on a strict diet and we are barely eating over 900 calories so why worry it's gonna happen.  I am not saying to not follow the rules your doctor has given to you I am just saying not to worry.

  I feel great I am down 25lbs and I am very happy for that.  The only thing that sucks is that I am in between jean sizes so I am torn between too tight or frumpy.  

My mom is in the hospital again which is a downer but I am hoping she gets past this one like she has in the past.  I love her so much.

Yeah I finally broke my stall by 2.5 lbs.  I am so happy now it just needs to keep falling off.   It happened yesterday but I wanted to make sure it didn't change so I waited untill today to post it.
