116 Days Down - This Rocks
Jul 28, 2008
Since my surgery I have lost 80 ( yeah folks that EIGHTY) pounds. I am down to a size 10, the same size I wore in high school. I feel so very blessed. I have more energy now than I have in years and the comments from people are not too shabby either. Tried on a pair of my old jeans last night. My daughter said I looked like the picutres of Jared at Subway with his old pants on. Made me laugh.
Again feeling very blessed.

67 Days out
Jun 09, 2008
I am down 64 pounds from the beginning of this wild journey. Having a hard time getting in protein but doing the best I can. I really need to start running and working out more. Seems things are not going to end up the same place as they were years ago. But overall I could not be happier. Knock on wood things are going so well.
23 Days out - Slow Down
Apr 27, 2008
It's been 23 days since surgery and my weight loss has stalled. I am at 195 which is 44 pounds down from my pre-surgery weight and nothing to sneeze at for sure. My clothes are way too big, I am down 2 sizes and well on my way to one more. So I keep focusing on that. I can tell the inches are going even if the scale does not show it. The pureed food thing is getting old. It's so hard when you are on the run all the time and can't pack the blender everywhere. Not to mention the funny looks my kids give me when I put tuna in the blender.
11 Days out and all is well

Went to the doctor yesterday for a follow up. They were very happy, I believe the word was fantastic. I weighed in at 204. Not too shaby as my weight in the hospital the day of surgery was 214. They moved me to pureed food (yummy tuna in a blender). Hey at this point anything I can not pour though a strainer will be great. I think the protein is going to be a struggle but I am going to do this. I am loving the fact that my clothes are getting too big. I have been picking up things at the thrift store but don't dare to go down below a size yet. Hopefully by summer I will be a size where I don't run and hide when I am sitting by the pool and hear the neighbors coming.
