It's been a while since i've posted.  WLS life has been good. I'm down 120 pounds. I'm gettin so close now to under 200.  Im at 207 now  I hope before my year anniversary I will be under 200.  I still think this was the best thing I have done.  My quality of life has improved.  And I still thank god for no complications.  If someone would of told me a year ago that this time next year i would have lost 120 pounds i would not believe them.  I knew I would lose some but not this much.  It's been an awesome ride and I wonder why I did not do this sooner.

I have finally lost 100 pounds since I had my RNY.  It took me eight months and one week to do it but it was worth the wait.   I still go through stalls haven't lost anything for two weeks and thena few days ago I started losing again. Thank God I could not wait any longer to reach a 100 pounds lost.  Im still doing really great Im so glad I decided to have my RNY it has changed my life.

Well its quite a while since I have posted anything.   Im so proud of myself for making the descision to go ahead with WLS.  I feel like i've done really well.  Im dropping pants sizes like crazy.  I cant keep a pair a jeans it seems like longer than a few weeks.  As of today I wear a size 20 in pants and from XL in misses to 1X in tops. I started out in 28 to 30/32 I havent been there in years and it really feels good.  I'm getting more active now and move alot more freely and faster.  Can walk longer without getting tired. Stalls have been pretty common with me. It happens every two to three weeks I dont worry about them I just keep going on as usual . Probaly because I had my first stall at three weeks out.   Im losing about 10 -15 pounds a month now.  Which is fine by me it drops any faster my crap would be hanging to my knees. LOL not really but I just think of stalls as a way for my body to catch up with it self and it does give my skin time to re-adjust it self.  And just because I do go through a stall I still I lose inches I can tell it in my pants.  I have noticed one thing that makes me sad now is how I was treated heavier and now.  I've always consider myself outgoing and will talk to anybody. But it funny how people treat you differently now.  And the attention is something Im dealing with.  Well if your one of the people reading my blog wondering if having RNY is for you I say go for it its been the best thing for me.  I consider myself lucky I have had zero problems or complications.  Not even food stuck.  Those D's really scared me, making me think I had to drink meat tenderizer. NOT!!!! And I thank the Lord everyday for that and I continue to pray everything will still stay complicated free.

Well this morning I went to the fridge to get my daily protein shake out of the fridge and a lightbulb clicked on.  I thought what it I use my vanilla protein shake as creamer.  What I ended up with was a frappuccino.  Oh my goodness it was so good.  Not bad for being on a liquid diet.  And I also fell in love with sugar free black cherry jello.  Yesterday was my pre-op appt.  Everybody was real nice and Im excited I cant wait .

Well today has been interesting.  I thought the pre-op diet this morning was going to be a piece of cake I had a shake and I felt good (but Im not a morning eater.)  By this afternoon I was getting sick at all the fluids I was drinking.  I had chicken broth for lunch and it was the great value brand it tasted yucky. It turned my stomach.  When I got home I had another shake and I felt better. Then an hour later I decided to try rachael ray's chicken broth and it was much better.  But right now its really hard, Im sitting here while my hubby is taking the girls to burger king.  I dont like burger king, never was a mc d or bk but I like sonic cheeseburgers. But I keep thinking man if I could have just some fries.  And I not a fry eater either.  My what bad food does to our bodies.  I hope I make it till surgery day.  Man am I ever looking forward to cottage cheese and refried beans and yogurt.

I got my date scheduled I'm so excited.  I have decided on the rny.  I think its what I really need.  Hubby is not so excited, I really think hes scared. He rather me have the lapband.  He told me today that he didnt think I really needed to lose that much weight. Aww... he loves me the way I'am but he said what ever I wanted to do.  I'm scared too its a big decision I've been so tossed up with the rny or lapband.  But I think I might fail with the lapband.
But Im so happy finially its going to happen.  I have my preop appointment scheduled on september 26 and I start my liquid diet the day before.  Im getting there.
