Well Its been about 4 weeks since I last weighed and today I have eighed. I weighed 303.3 pounds. A gain of 5 pounds. Day of surgery I weighed 373.6 pounds. A part of my problem is I know I graze alot. Janaury 28 I had surgery on my little toe to remove a joint and I was not suppose to put weight on foot. So that ment I sat around a lot or was in bed and one thing leads to another, mindless munching and not beingable to walk the calories off. Today is another day, I am doing okay with not getting to the refrigerator and junk food. It did help that I went to volunteer at the hospital so that kept my mind off food

January 27, 2005--Weighed today I weigh 298.3 pounds. what a disappointment. to be gaining instead of losing. Part of my problem is due to my feet and not being able to walk long distances .

December 7, 2004 It's been awhile since I had updated profile. Its been 2 years since I had surgery As of December 1 my weight was 287.8. Not much of a loss in 2 years but I am still having alot of problem with feet. So therefore I tend to be a grazer and somedys take in more calories than should without burning them off.I try to keep a positive attitude but it is hard seeing others doing much better than me. But then I try to couint my blessings I am grateful i had the surgery done I can walk some better and breathing is better, and I can do a few things not been able to do for a long time. I alwys think that I could be at the weight I was (373.6 plus pounds)

Friday June 4, 2004 It has been a while since i have posted. I am not doing as well as I should I be doing1 year and 9 months post op and I am losing and gaining. From Ocotber 2003 to March 5 2004 I had gained 20 to 30 pounds back. and this was betwen visits to see my surgeon. I cannot do any long distance walking due to sore on foot and on April 3rd I fell and broke my ankle. so I have to keep ankle elevated and minimal walking. I go back to doctor June 14 for ankle. so I am keeping fingers crossed. so now I am finding myself grazing alot more due to depression and bored.

Monday January 19, 2004 I went and weighed and I am at 283.3 pounds. The scales are going down instead of up. I m very upset. I am still waiting for an answer for my approval for a tummy tuck. The nurse tells me I need to sign a waiver and mney for 120 dollar. The total procedure is 1,200 dollars. and if procedure is approved which she says is a medical necessaity thats why "she took pictures for. And then I find out that my WLS surgeon may retire and if he does, i will be referred to a plastic surgeon. I am so very unhappy

Sunday, December 28, 2003 I cannot believe it, I gottn clothes for christmas and I can actually wear them!!! Which is a total shcok to me and I do not even have to put them away knowing I will never wear them. These came right of the rack too!! 3XL's I never thought i be able to go to that size and even had people at church tll me I look nice in my outfit. Pelople never told me that before I have not weighed for maybe a month now. I don't think I lost anymore. But I aqm not going to get my hopes up eithjer. Just when I think I lost, i stepped on scale and gained. I figured my BMI today and based on 280 pounds I am 48.1. Day of surgwery I was 373 pounds and a BMI of 64
