Long Time No Posts..

Dec 27, 2011

Its hard to believe that May of 2012 will be my 3 yr ann. I am not going to lie. I have settled down to a weight loss of around 180lbs. Although I am thrilled ,there is that voice in my head saying I could have done more. I am planning to start adding more protein to my daily diet.  I still have some food issues. Bread, unless its hard as a rock or burnt does not agree with me. I do get an upset stomach if I forget and drink anything while eating. I don't eat much at a setting but I think I eat too many times a day. So I don't know which is worse. Eating larger portions or eating more times a day...There have been some very hard times in my life since I posted last.  I sadly lost both of my toy terriers which almost put me over the edge. My 89 yr old father lives with us and his mind is bad. On the happier side my hubby and I got a Goldendoodle this past summer and she "Sophie" has helped with the pain if losing Sadie and Pokey.

15 months out and what a difference

Sep 05, 2010

Its hard to believe its been 15 months since my surgery. I feel great and am thankful that I had this life changing experience. I have lost around 190 lbs. I do have some food issues but nothing that I can't live with.  Food means nothing to me anymore. I eat when I have to but as for being hungry I never am. Believe me I never would have dreamed that I would stop eating junk but I hardly ever eat sweets other then in tea. If you look at my pics the first 3 are my before and after pics. My health is great and I am off all meds.

Spring is here and I am ready!

Mar 30, 2010

I am ready to enjoy so many activities that have been put on hold because of my old weight!  I am very proud to say that I am now down 167 lbs. I never dreamed my weight would come off so quickly.  I will be out one year the end of May.  I am hoping to be down another 5 lbs and I will be happy. I feel like a new person!  I was wearing a 30 womens jeans and now I wear a misses size 18.  I can also wear a womens 18/20 top.  But most of all my health is great.  I am off all meds.  My knees feel much better.  I still have some problems doing stairs but I am hoping that changes in time.

So excited!!

Oct 04, 2009

I am now down 108 lbs!!  What a difference in everything.  Walking, bending over ( belly isn't in the way like before)  I fit in chairs with arms (who would have thought I would see that day).  I just feel great!  I can walk longer without even thinking of sitting down on evey bench I see. Eating has become a "little" easier.  Crab, shrimp and lobster are my pouches best friends.  I can eat a very moist steak but not too much. I think I live more like the French women with the 3 bite rule..:)  Unless its the seafood then I can handle more than 3 bites.  I have stayed away from sweets and most sugar.  Other than drinking very watered down sweet tea thats about all the sugar I get.

Dr Apt

Sep 16, 2009

I am very excited to say that I went to the dr and I am down 98 lbs.  78 since surgery and 20 pre surgery!  My blood work was all good and I don't have to go back for one year. I will still see my NUT every 3 months for B 12 shots.  Life is so much better!

Almost 4 months

Sep 12, 2009

I'm almost 4 months out and feeling pretty good other than my morning upset stomach.  It goes away after a few hrs.  My next dr apt is Tue and I am pushing a weight loss of almost 95 lbs since my first dr apt last year in Oct.  I am anxious to see my blood work results.  Meat is not my firend.  I do best with seafood, crab, shrimp and lobster.  I'm not drinking any protein drinks but should try to because my hair is starting to fall out  some.  My clothes are are hanging on me and I am down 2 sizes.  I was hoping to be down  more sizes but I am very large framed and that hurts when it comes to clothes.  I have lost 12 inches in my waist which was a shock.  I will update after my dr apt.

9 days out and feel great!

May 31, 2009

I still am in awwww at how good I feel!  I am sleeping back in bed and on my sides which is great!  I had bought a king size recliner before surgery and that was the best thing I spent any money on.  I have my first post op apt with Dr Petrick June 2 and also with a NUT.  I am hoping I can soon add some other foods or find out other ways to get my protein in. I am at the point  now that if I see another shake or pudding I a going to scream!  I have no idea what I weigh, beause I made the mistake of weighing myself the day I came home and I was over 10 lbs higher than  I was the day of surgery.  They say this is normal.  So from that pt on I have stayed off them.   Guess I will know this Tuesday.

Home and feeling good!

May 26, 2009

I came home Sunday and everything is going well!  Not much pain other than a few gas pains.  I am sipping on water and  protein drinks all day (even nite)  when I get back to my "puter" chair I will write more and talk about the surgery. I will say it was easier than I had thought.  I have to give myself shots in the belly to keep my blood thin for 2 weeks and believe me, you can't even feel them. Thanks for all of your prayers!  Will continue soon.. hugs, Denise
