WOW!  I can't believe it's been 5 years!  I am doing fantastic, other then the vitamin deficiencies.  I currently weight around 150 lbs... I wear size 1 or 3 pants depending on the brand.  I can't believe that!!   It is hard to be the walking poster in my area, but I am definately a success story and the biggest advocate for WLS!  Life is great!  I will hopefully be doing something about the skin on my arms.. and hopefully will have some new 'girls' within the next year or so!   I still don't have much of a hunger trigger, which is a blessing.  Infact, I have to remind myself to eat.  I do have pretty wild swings with my sugar... it plummets quite quickly.  Anyways, If anyone needs any information, please email.  I think I have some pretty good insight for successful weightloss.

Well another year has gone by!  Where has the time gone?  I am currently 155 lbs.  I didn't think that I would ever be this weight.   I have some pretty specific goals for the upcoming year.  It is nice to actually not have losing weight as my new years resolution! lol    I have kicked most of my bad habits, and continue to stick to it!!  We are joining a local gym here in a few days.  I am looking forward to it!  My hubby doesn't want to get the surgery, so I am going to support him by fixing his food.. watching his portions and working out with him.  We also have a teenage daugher that we homeschool.  She has been doing so well at watching her weight, but unfortunately she has our genes, so we have to keep her exercising and eating right!  My two other children attend public school, so they get some exercise during the day!  Well, not that I want to lose anymore weight (that sounds strange to say.)  But I am curious if going to the gym will shrink me more!  I am going to focus on toning up and hopefully some of this skin will disappear!   Until next time!!!   God Bless You!! 

Well, I got my three year labs back today.  I guess I haven't been so good at taking my vitamins.  My iron and white blood cell counts were down. :(
Hopefully they will figure out what it takes to get them back up!  The good news is that I have managed to get down to 158 lbs!!  That really freaks me out!  I can wear size 4 jeans and a small/med top!  Life is good!  Thanks to everyone for the emails! I am currently working with my husband for him to get a lap-band.  We go to the meeting Dec 11th in Saranac.  We think that would be the best procedure for him. God Bless!

Hi there!  Sorry It has been so long since an update.  Well, obviously I have healed from my panni.  It took some time, but all is well and the scars aren't too bad!  Sorry for the gross pics!  I will update with the healed pics.  Things are going well.  I stay around the 165-168 mark.  I can wear size 6 pants (I even have a couple of pairs of stretchy 4's! ), I am wearing medium, sometimes small shirts.  I NEVER thought that I would be this small.  The only thing I don't like is the fact that I dont FEEL it!  I still feel as big as ever, but hopefully that will go away someday!   I am helping some friends and family members get on their way to surgery.  It is great that I have the insight to let them know what to expect.  It also keeps me on track!   Until next time, God Bless!!

Well, as you can see from the pictures, I am having a difficult time healing from this surgery.  It has been over a month and I am just as open as before.  I went to Dr. Hill and he removed the top layer of sutures (thinking maybe I was having a reaction), and also debreeded the areas that were looking bad.  Anyways, I will keep you posted.  Thanks for all of those praying for me!  :)   I am hoping that this will clear up SOON!  Blessings!!

I am home recovering from my panni/hernia w/tightening.   It was a bit rough to get around at first, but I am doing ok now.  The key is to stay on top of the pain w/o getting too constipated! lol    I am hoping that the dark areas will heal properly.  I guess time will tell.  I am very excited to see how I will look a couple of months from now!  Blessings!
