It's going
May 13, 2008
It's going :) YEAH! Down to 168! that's 102 pounds and feeling great. Went shopping for jeans last night and am now a size 14! Holy buckets! What a great present.
There are lots of things that I still can't eat that make me sick, but I just stay away from those. I started a new job, full time Teller at USBank close to home and am loving ever minute of it.
I am off all meds and feel like a million bucks. The weight is coming off a lot slower now, but still losing so that's good.
Only 3 plateau's and I just got on the treadmill for longer everyday until it started up again.
Hope everyone else is doing well :)
Take care

Quick Update
Apr 20, 2008
Hi all - sorry it's been so long since an update - but I have been busy!
As of today - I am finally under 190! YEAH ME - 189 :) Whoo hoo!
What a great feeling. I have lost 81 pounds since my surgery and I feel really good. I have lost 8 inches around my hips, 9 around my waist and 7 around my bust. I had to go out and buy new clothes because lucky me got a job! YEAH! I am now working at USBank. It feels great to have myself back.
I know what I can eat and what I can't. I know when I am full and know when I am never hungry - which is always LOL
I have learned that exercise is very important - especially when you hit that plateau. I have hit two of those since this started, and am again on the losing side. It sucks to see a pound gain, but I was told that is normal! Right now the losing has slowed down quite a bit, bout a 1/2 pound a day or so.....
I need to get some pictures uploaded.....
Hope everyone else is doing well!

Hello
Feb 10, 2008
Well - it's been 2 1/2 weeks since surgery and I feel great! My original weight was 270 and I at 227 today. My blood pressure medicine is down the drain! YEAH! One less pill to take everyday!
My surgery went well. I was released from the hospital on Wed. Jan 23, instead of Thursday Jan 24. I just asked if I could go home, and I was walking pretty good and trying to do everything for myself. I was ready to get back home to my family. I am starting to eat some more things, and am really enjoying the different things I can eat now. I can't wait until the 4 week appointment - hopefully I will be at 200!
Will keep ya updated!

Tuesday is the big day!
Jan 20, 2008
Well - it's so close I can taste it. I am looking forward to Tuesday - the first day of the rest of my life!
I started on the liquid diet on 1/8 and so far have lost 14 pounds. It has been really tough, but my family is really supportive! It's crazy because at first it seemed those pounds went quick, and then leveled off, but no biggie! I know they will melt off soon enough. This is the first time in a long time that I actually have ankles and not swollen sausages!
My biggest obsticle has been the fact that everyone around me can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound! LOL
So here we go, surgery is in 2 days and I can't wait.
