Well, even though I am still 135lbs, I have now been able to buy my first ever size 6 jeans!! I can't stop thinking about it! I have never felt better in my own skin than I do now! I am a real advocate about pilates now, I know it is the reason for the size 6 jeans! PRAISE PILATES!!! LIfe is good, it is great to feel good about yourself for the first time EVER. And I know that I will only be going down from here, I just know it, I have it in me to do so. My new goal is 125. So, we will see. I will always keep an update on here for anyone to see. And to remind myself of how far I have come & where I am going. I love OH! Everyone on here has always been a real help to me, has always been good to me, thank you all.

Well, I am finally starting to fel comfortable in my own skin again, I am now down to 135lbs. I feel great, I do pilates every day, & it really helps calm my nerves & soothe my soul! I am so happy in my life right now! So happy! I have finally uploaded new photos of myself & my kids & my new tattoos. Life is good!

Well, I am down to 145 now! But I feel not happy enough about it. I want to lose another 15-20 pounds. But dont get me wrong, I am greatful for where I am now in this journey! My damn cat just erased all that I had just written so here I go again. I still want to lose another 15-20lbs, so I am not at goal yet, but for 6 -7 months out I think I am doing great, & as usual, I daily thank god for my chance to have had this surgery! You know, when I see those adds for Dennys grand slams I just get sick to my stomach! How in the world did I ever get that much food down? Yuck! I have been doing pilates every day & I feel great afterwords, I can't stand it when I go a day without it. I am thrilled to be excited to excersize again! This is awesome! Hope all is well with all of you! Thanks for checking me out!, ;Sincerely,

well, I am officially starting to feel 'skinny'. i have been working out like crazy & I am down to 143lbs. I know that I am probably alittle less than that if you were to cut off my nasty hanging stomach!No, seriously, it is nasty! But hey, it is all worth it to be thin again! I feel better than I have in years! Thank god for this surgery!

I swear I was stuck at 163 for about 1 long month! Then BOOM! Out of nowhere I got on the scale & I am at 155!!! Yippy!! This journey as been both hard & insperational! It's awesome! Learning how to eat again the right way & not become obsssive about it is one thing that I have to work on still, it is a mind battle for me. But latley I am back to getting sick after I eat basicallly everything, so that may be the reason my weight finally went down! Who knows, but at least it's moving! I do have an appt on Mon the 14th to make sure I'm not getting a stricture again. I pray that that is not so. It was pure hell that! But, YAY for the weight loss! I feel better than I have in years! Working out everyday helps that too! Life is good!
 

WELL, HERE I AM 5 MONTHS OUT & I HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF ABOUT 80LBS (INCLUDING MY 17LBS LOST PRIOR TO SURGERY. MY DR. IS REALLY PROUD OF ME, & I AM TOO , WELL, SORT OF. IN THE BEGINING I HAD TO DEAL WITH HAVING ONE OF THE WORST STRICTURES THAT THEY HAD EVER SEEN, SO MY BODY BASICALLY STARVED FOR THOSE FIRST 3 MONTHS. YEP, IT TOOK THAT LONG TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL (3 TRIES). EVER SINCE IT FINALLY GOT FIXED & I COULD ACTUALLY EAT, MY WEIGHT LOSS HAS SLOWED DOWN QUITE A BIT! LIKE 5-3LBS EVERY 3 WEEKS. SO FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE BLUES & ANXIETY OF LOSING SO SLOW. I KNOW I WAS S LIGHTWEIGHT TO BEGIN WITH, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY EASIER. SOME PEOPLE ON HERE I READ OF LOSING SO MUCH SO FAST! I KNOW I SHOULDN'T COMPARE, BUT I AM ONLY HUMAN & I DO. I HATE THIS SLOW LOSER CRAP! BUT I AM WORKING OUT EVERY DAY, & I DO KNOW THAT THOUGH THE SCALE MOVES SLOWLY, MY CLOTHES ARE GROWING TOO BIG BY THE DAY, SO THAT IS COOL! I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO ADD A NEW PHOTO ON HERE SO YOU ALL CAN SEE ME NOW, IT'S PRETTY COOL, THIS WHOLE JOURNY I MEAN! WELL, ENOUGH COMPLAINING FOR NOW. I WILL REPORT BACK IN A MONTH & SEE WERE I AM AT THEN. THANKS FOR READING, 
ANGELIC

I had a stricture for the first 3 months after my surgery, which was very painful, but after 3 tries, they finally got it to where it needed to be & I feel great now! I wouldn't change this experience for the world! It has really saved my life in so many ways. I feel like I got my life back! I am now 4 months out & have lost about 77lbs! I love this. I am SO LUCKY to have been given this chance to change my life for the better! Good luck to you all who are just begining this journey! And all I can say is HURRAY for me!! :)
