I know it's been awhile, but I have had a lot going on. I am currently down 98 lbs (so close to 100!) and am in a size 20 jean. I climbed into a pair of shorts that I haven't worn since I was 21! Big time wow moment! I haven't had any problems and things seem to be moving along alright. Hope everyone is doing well and I hope the economy picks up (way too many scares at work) ugh!

Okay! I have been exercising more frequently and I feel so good! 66 lbs gone forever! At this rate I'll have exceeded my 70 lbs by Christmas goal! Getting a lot of comments on how I look. I guess you don't notice as much when you look in a mirror everyday. People who haven't seen me in awhile definately notice! Yeah! No regrets! Love my new life!

I am doing great weight loss wise, though I am not exercizing like I should. Bad Tonya!

I really couldn't help it as I had a miserable Thanksgiving holiday. My grandmother passed away. She was a wonderful woman and I miss her very much. I feel very fortunate that I had her as long as I did. She was 85 years young, but I think she is happier in Heaven with Grandpa. RIP

I have lost a total of 60 lbs to date (give or take a pound because it likes to fluctuate). New Year's resolution...exercise dang it!

After 11 weeks I have lost a total of 52 lbs!  I am feeling great! No problems to report other than my own dumb mistakes like eating too fast. Bad Tonya!

I am two months out and I feel great! No side effects yet and I have dropped 43 lbs so far. I found that if I weigh myself every 2nd or 3rd day, I can tell more of a difference than when I weighed everyday. My jeans that I was able to finally wear last week are starting to get loose! Looks like I may be going a size down soon. Yay!
I have much more energy. I went to a football game Saturday night and instead of sitting and watching, I was walking around the field.
Currently I am loving life!

It is probably just me, but I feel like I'm not losing like I should. I am losing, but it seems to be at a slow gradual pace. To date (10/14/08) I am down 39 lbs total.
Is this a normal RNY weight loss speed? I read other people's blogs that say they have lost like 70 lbs in 3 months. Will my weight loss pick up? Boy am I impatient or what!

Good news!- Finally got into a pair of jeans I couldn't fit in before!

I accompanied my mother to the Nash orientaion for WLS. Ever since I got the surgery, she has been thinking about it herself. She finally decided it was the right thing to do. She has diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems. I am so happy she wants to do something to improve her health! I am also scared because I know the dangers. I'll just pray for her and know that God will watch over her.

P.S. 37 lbs gone for good!

Guess what I did on Saturday! I pulled my once tight jeans off without unbuttoning them! Yeah me!
So far so good. I have not experienced any problems so far such as dumping or vomiting. I feel normal except that when I eat, I don't want to keep eating! I eat what I am supposed to and then I feel full. So far, this is the best thing I have ever done. Goal weight, roller coasters and cruise, here I come!

Hi everyone,
 I am currently 6 weeks out and feel great! So far so good! I had a pain in my left side up until last Thursday. I bent over to pick something up and felt an internal "shift". When I stood up I had no more pain! Yeah! Must have been the stitch dissolving. I feel energized and excited. I returned to work and people tell me they can already see a difference in my face. My work jeans are loose and my knees and feet no longer hurt! Yes!

Main problem.. I cannot seem to get enough to drink. The constant sipping makes me feel like I'm drowning, yet I am still not getting in enough liquids. I guess I just have to keep trying.
