Hello my WLS family. I hope all is well with everyone. I continue to push forward with weight loss, but it seems to stall back and forth. However, I did get on the scale this morning and it said 156-157.5 lbs, which isn't bad, but what that does mean is: DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....My current BMI is 24.6  I'm in the normal BMI range effective this AM. Although I would like to loose another 10+ lbs. That would make me

What does your BMI mean?
The table below shows value ranges and what they mean

Range	Meaning
less than 18.5	Underweight
18.5 - 24.9	Normal

 When I did the chart it states: Your weight is 157 pounds; your ideal weight is 147 pounds. So I have another 10 lbs to go. I can do it. WLS family cheer me on!   I cannot believe I have made it this far. I need to take some more recent picks. I will try to get some more recent picks posted later this week, if not this afternoon. Also, I just realized what trhis also means.... I have hist the 100lbs lost mark.  So in 10 months I was able to loose 102.5lbs  So now Im focused on toning up. Not sure how I need to go about it. I really need a tummy tuck, because I know I am never going to be able to loose my stomach. After 2 kids, and the first being a 9lb baby, I will keep this loose+saggin skin on my belly. If anyone has any info/input about what I can do to have a tummy tuck please let me know. Thanks!!!

Sorry for not staying up to date, but I promised I would update my page monthly. So here goes..
Well, All has been well with me. I have been struggling now to get & stay in the 159-160 range, but I really would like to loose another 10lbs. The only problem is if I do loose more weight, it is unfortunately not coming from my gut, but other areas.... {Ladies u know what i mean!!} So now, I am ready and willing to endure the TUMMY TUCK. Im not sure how I am going to go about it, but if anyone has any information out ther please let me know how I can obtain a tummy tuck using my INSURANCE.  {due to back pains, and terribly dry skin in those u know where areas}

However, If I am unable to obtain the tummy tuck, I will be okay still, because I am happy with myself { I can't believe I am actually saying this..} but I am!    It is such a wonderfull feeling that I can't even begin to explain. Everywhere I go I recieve compliments, and actually it has made my relationship a bit stronger. I am so PROUD to be able to say this, because prior to the surgery thats all I kept hearing was people talking about the strain it put on their relationships, divorce, break-ups, etc... While I am proud to say me and my man have and will continue going strong after 13 years!! I hope all those who are in search of happiness or in need of hapiness are able to find what they need/been in search for in 2009! GOD BLESS ALL!

Well its time for a new year to begin. I am 8 months out & I think I hit my goal of 160.5. However, I'm unsure because when I had surgery my weight prior was not recorded. So I could technically have another 20lbs to go before I hit my actual benchmark. Either way, I will strive to achieve the goal. Seems like my weight loss has signifcantly slowed its progress, but I am adamant to keep it thriving! For those that are new to this site & planning to have surgery. I wish u the best & I will keep you in my prayers. For those who've endured surgery, Keep on track & if you are doing well, keep up the good work. I hope everyone, including myself, is able to achieve/maintain what is set before our path with this neverending journey!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to EVERYONE!!!! :}

I am so sorry, for not updating sooner, but I have been a MS. BUSY BODY.   But just to give an update: I am now down to 169-170lbs. I hope to go a bit smaller, but I have been maintaining. I would like to loose another 20lbs, but in the GUT & not the butt or u know what!  

I am LOVING LIFE! I feel so much better about myself.  I am not all the way happy with body contour, but I CAN DEAL / LIVE WITH THIS compared to how things were before. I feel my health has SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED. U know what, I feel so free that I am going to go into detail. I am no longer the sweaty girl with yello armpits, I love walking in my stiletto heel pumps +boots, and can sit in a chair with out squeezing in. Thank U LORD for I am FREE!
I don't think I would've ever said those words prior to the surgery, but now that I am down to 169lbs not only can't my family + friends believe who they are seeing, but I am still coming to grips of reality of believing it as well. I want to thank everyone for being so supportive. I will make sure to keep everyone in my heart and prayers! I will post updated pics soon.

Love Yall OH FAMILY!!

Hello Everyone!
 Well I'm a little over 4 months out & I got my CBC results back the other day & it doesn't look good. I admit I having being taking all my vitamins faithfully & I pray that I have no long term damage or affect. I have an appt scheduled 9/17/08 to talk w/ PCP about my CBC results. I will see what she has to say. I found out how much I weights when I first started on this journey. I was at 253. My PCP calculated from my last appt with her that I'd lost approx 63lbs. However, I am now getting rashes & bladder infections like I never had before!!!! But I wouldn't chg the decision for anything. I need help getting in my vitamins. Hopefully

HELLO Evereyone,
 I haven't loss much lately, but I am down to 185.5- 4months out. My weight has been flutcating a lot lately. I wish I could loose more, and be more steady at it. I started attending my son football practice & walking around the field during practice {About 5-8 laps} Am I gaining muscle & the lost has slowed down? Don't know, but I need this to pick back up, asap
I also hope things are going well for everyone else. STAY IN TOUCH!

Well I met my new Dr. He is AWESOME.He listened to me & he jumped right in to what my needs were. 2morrow I have an x-ray scheduled to measure the size of my stomach. I hope I have good news. Things seem to be going well. I am FINALLY in the 180's. I am at 188, but as usual always fluctuate up and down 1 lb. I am also wearing size 12-14 clothing. It's great, but now I don't have any clothes!  

Time to go SHOPPING....

SEE YAH

Well I am going to see a new followup surgeon due to my Dr no longer accepting INS. I am scheduled to visit with Dr. G.Kerlakian. Hopefully things go well with him. I noticed my WL has slowed. I am currently at 195.5. and have been around this range for the last couple of weeks. U can tell from looking at my prev blog entries I am not loosing weight fast at all.  I am approximately 3months out & per my records I went from HIGHEST WEIGHT 256-195.5 =60.5 lbs. However, the Dr's office had on my online profile a starting weight: 252-195.5=56.5. However, they didn't record my WL the date of my surgery & I forgot to because I had so much going on. I know I had lost at least 10lbs prior to surgery.  Either way that's not bad! I have at least 40-50 more lbs I would like to loose. I would love to see myself get to at least 175-160 in the next 4 months. I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE!!  

K everyone. I am down to 196lbs. I got the shock of my life. So the other day I called my Dr's office to see about setting up an appt for 3mo followup. They told me I would be chrgd $60, becuase my Dr no longer accepting INS!  I am flabbergasted. So now Im in search of a new followup Dr in tri-state region. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! Also I am strongly considering some PS. Of course during my course of weight loss I have become saggy skin, but it's not horrible, but I definetly want it corrected & if possible have INS cover the cost of surgery. Any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks!
