Update - Finally
Jan 03, 2011
I know it has been a long, long, long time since I have updated. Things got a little crazy in my life for awhile.
Things have been going great since I have had my Gastric Bypass.
I am still losing weight and have lost a total of 220 lbs. now.
I finally found someone who can love me for me. We have been dating now for four months. I could not be more happier with my life! I am feeling great and have a wonderful man who supports and loves me no matter what.
I continue to struggle with the body image issues.
I have so much excess skin I can't stand to look at myself. I have to keep reminding myself that these are good wrinkles and lines. I did something to change my life. It isn't like I didn't know it wouldn't happen. *shrug*
I am just starting the process of trying to figure out what I can do with Plastic Surgery. I had an appointment today with a local surgeon but he doesn't deal with Post Bariatric Surgery. I am trying to do some searches on the internet to see what I can find out.

Lost
Mar 23, 2010
I feel very lost and alone lately. I don't think things have been going very well for a long time. I need to get back on track but not sure how. I haven't been going to the monthly support group because I can't seem to bring myself to go see the success when I am a failure.

Concerns
Nov 09, 2009
I have been feeling pretty poor lately. For almost a week actually. I am not sure what is going on or what I should do about it. I have very bad pain in my lower tummy. Nothing I eat or drink agrees with me lately. I haven't been eating or drinking anything bad. I don't know if I should go to the ER for "nothing" or if this is something I should get checked out.

1 year Anniversary
Oct 16, 2009
Today is my 1 year anniversary. Hard to believe it has been that long. I am now down 176 lbs. Could I have done better? I think so. Am I happy with the progress I have made? Yes and no. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat! It gave me my life back.

Stepping Stone..
Aug 31, 2009
I had another small stepping stone happen tonight. My ring size is now an 8! I can't tell you how excited that makes me! Normally I was always a size 10. I have NO idea what it was pre-surgery date. I just know I have been a size 9 for a long time and was dying to get down to an 8.

I really, really, really need the Support Group this week. Things have been so stressed around here. I keep having break downs. Things just are not right.

Happy Birthday!
Jul 17, 2009
Today is my 39th Birthday. *ack!*
For the first time in many, many years I actually feel like going out and doing something!
Unfortunately, I don't have any plans to do so.
But it feels good to actually want to do it! hehe

Nutritionist Appointment
Jul 06, 2009
I meant to post this earlier today but we had a car accident in the family this afternoon.
I went to see my Nutritionist today and it went well. I have lost another 11 lbs so that makes my grand total 167 lbs. =) I am very excited about that. I am glad my meeting went well. I had a couple of fears that concerned stretching my pouch out. I find myself more hungry now than I was right after surgery. But Anne said I was doing great. I am so happy to hear that. Just gotta keep on trucking with the weight loss!

Keira Anne-Lois Smith was born on June 12, 2009 @ 12:43 a.m. She is the most beautiful baby! She is sick now today. She has some sort of infection and needs to stay in the ICU for at least 7 days. She looks just like her Mommy. She is so adorable. I am so very excited! :)

*NEW* Hair cut
May 26, 2009
I was finally able to get my hair cut tonight. It is so much shorter! I have been told I look like a different person. I will post my picture to my album. It isn't the best because I have no make up on nor did anything with the new cut. I will get a picture taken tomorrow before my Post Op Support Group. =)
I also tried on a swimsuit today that didn't fit me before.. almost fits!! I just have to lose a little bit more so it will fit over my shoulders. Before I couldn't even get it over my tummy. *lol*
I went to the gym today and worked out for a half hour. I just did the treadmill for the full 30 minutes. I am so proud of that! I haven't been able to walk for that long in a long time! Whoot!
