Just celebrated my 2 year anniversary for gastric by pass...life is wonderful.  Now at 165.  Loose skin removed...loving life.  I am so happy that I have had both of these surgeries...they have changed my life.

First week after my adominoplasty....ouch...alot of pain, but I feel that it needed to be done.  I do have before pictures and will have after pictures...just not sure I will ever have the guts to post them...oh this journey I am still on...I am sore...I am off to bed...God Bless Charmayne

It's been just over a year since I had my gastric bypass surgery.  I am living life to the fullest and making up for loss time.  If I had one wish in this life it would be that everyone who needed to have this surgery...could afford to have it done.  It has changed my life in so many wonderful ways.  Thank you god for allowing me this gift....

Oh My Gosh..I cant believe it...I have my husbands levis on...and they fit...and they look fantastic!!!! Who would of thought this could ever happen...

Its been a while since I have written..but sorry, when you are normal and healty time just slips by you.  I cannot believe what I did this weekend.  I walked a lap-a-thon to raise money for my grandsons football camp.  I walked 25 laps!  Me, someone who has never walked a mile in their life before without almost croaking.  Not only did I walk the 25 laps....I jogged the last one.  I raised $75 to boot.  Next day I unloaded a pickup load of beauty bark and worked on my new flower bed most of the day and here it is Tuesday and I am still going strong.  Thank you Obesityhelp for being here for me in the beginning to help me realize I too can do this, thank you husband for being my best supporter, thank you Aetna for understanding the need for this wonderful surgery, and mostly thank you God for making this all possible.  I have missed so much in my life by being overweight..I have so much to catch up on. 

Bye bye 200's.  Hello 189 and holdin....Took forever to get below 200 but once I did I started moving again.  296 presurgery diet weight-283 surgery day-189 today...107lbs in 9 months...oh my.  Life is good

Took forever but finally got below 200.

I went from a WOW moment....fit into a size 14 jeans
to a OMG moment is just two days... gained 2 pounds
What is that all about.  My very first gain

Made it through Christmas and the New Years had to go in and have something stretched.  Am finally starting to keep food down.  Still don't care much about eating but love my popscicles.  Nine pounds to go to be under 200...I am so looking forward to that.  Everything is okay and so worth anything I have gone through.  I am looking forward to 2010.  Happy New Year

Well I managed okay...went overboard on the cooking and entertaining but it kept my mind off the eating.  Tried several times to have a little bite of stuff...but  happened and after two times I gave up.  Guess I am a slow learner but oh I wanted to taste a little of the good stuff.  I got over it by stepping on the scale on my third trip to the bathroom and saw 225...I smiled and said okay I can do this and just went back out and made sure everyone had what they needed and got through the day okay..Grandkids came by the next day and ate most of the leftovers. 
Waiting to hear back on my labs...hope things will be okay.  Scheduled to have the scope down the throat to see why I am not able to keep food down...not looking forward to it (Dec 14) but need to find out what is going on.  Busy at home and busy at work...I will be glad when things slow down some..end of the year at work is always stressful.  I find myself a little bitchy and am trying to work on that.  It is a full-time job keeping me in clothes that fit but oh I am so loving it.  I never dreamed I would be worried about loose skin and flab and such..I kept saying oh just get the weight off of me and I deal with everything else...ha...I want it all.  I have loss close to 70lbs and I already know that I am not going to be happy having the loose skin...where will the money come from....I never really believed that I would have to worry about it...guess I didnt believe that it would work as it has....oh me of little faith...hope everyone had a great turkey day...I know for one...I am so very thankful.
