Hello to all my OH family!

This has been a very exciting, and challenging year but thank GOD I made it!  GOD is great and life is good!  I am doing things I only imagined and I am so greatful for Dr Snyder and gastric bypass.  My life has changed for the better and it gets better everyday. I started this journey at 287lbs and 1 year later I am at 171lbs and dropping. My goal is 165. I went from a size 22 to a present day size 13.  I havent seen 13's since 8th grade ok. I feel that if I stay at the under200lb club its all good. Good luck to everyone that is thinking about or have had WLS! The world is yours, live it!

Hello to all and thank you for stopping bye.  I know it has been awhile since I've been here but boy the ride sure has gotten faster in life since my surgery.  Life is Great! I am loving life and all it has to offer.  I have updated my photos so you can see the new me 6mo's out.  Boy what a difference gastric bypass makes to your life.  I wish everyone peace and love. 

Hello Everyone.  3 months post and im now at 220lbs.  Im now wearing a size 16!!!!!! Wow, these have been the fastest past 3 months of my life.  The changes are amazing. 

Hello All,

Today is Sunday 4/5/09 and I gotta go back to the J-O-B tomorrow (yeah me). After being off for 6 weeks I kinda got use to being at home with my kids and dropping off/picking up from school. Unfortunately I do not have the priviledge of working from home like all the others on my team but whatever.  Anywho im weeding out the closet today. Trying on clothes I havent worn in years and it feels good to be able to at least pull some stuff up over my hips and booty:) I hope everyone is doing well and happy loosing!

Went for my 6week ckup today and I have lost a total of 46lbs since surgery.  Yaaaahooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! All is good. Go back to work on Monday April 6th(Yaaaahooooo???????????). Dang, I just started getting use to those doggone naps. 

Well like I said I was dehydrated on 3/9/09 then once I started feeling a lil better, off to the ER on 3/13/09. FRIDAY THE 13TH!!!!!! I was diagnosed with a post-op hematoma under my diaphragm at that.  Therefore my lungs could not expand when I inhaled/exhaled therefore my entire body was not getting enough oxygen therefore I had horiible, horrible muscle spasms in my back and could barely walk.  I couldnt lay down in the bed I had to sleep propped up on abt 1000 pillows.  The CT Scan showed the hematoma and all we could do is wait to see if it would leave on its own.  I stayed in bed from that Friday til that following Thursday and said forget this, where does the pain end.  So I then went to my chiropractor and he massaged my back and gave me some BioFreeze to rub on my back.  Well today is Monday and Im good as used, not yet good as new but Im feeln much much better.  Up and down, up and down.  Im not gonna give up yet. I have no choice but to keep moving forward.

well I think Im feeling better now.....I was dehydrated. So I called my surgeon's office and the nurse, Amanda who is awesome, had me describe my symptoms and figured out I was dehydrated. So I went to infusion therapy at the hospital and they hooked me up via IV and life is great.  That was yesterday Tuesday 3/10/09. Today Wed 3/11/09 I had my 3-week follow up and all is good. I have lost 30 lbs since my surgery 2/16/09 and am now on soft foods.  I still dont feel like eating but im gonna see how I do with some fruits.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hello all,
 
well this past week has been rough, rough I tell ya.  I have not been able to take the min protein intake and all I'm doing is drinking, sipping H2O.  I am constantly tired.  Sleep, I can do that forever.  Im just ready to be back to my old upbeat self.  I know this will pass and its all a part of the journey but please, please let's just get this over with. I started felling bad on Tuesday and today is Saturday and Im just starting to take in protein.  Help me Lord, help me!

Im learning that I may feel good, absolutely great one day and horrible the next.  These damn gas pockets are killing me. I walk and walk and walk but they are still there.  Help me! Besides that all else is good, I am not weighing myself at all.  I will wait til my 3week follow up on 3/11/09. Stay tuned til then.

Hi everyone,

With soooo much going on the past month I havent been able to keep up with my thoughts.  My surgery date was Feb 16th, 2009 and all is well.  I am no longer on Atenol 100mg for high blood pressure......yooohoooo! I no longer have knee pain when I walk, move or breathe and Life is great!  I thank GOD for allowing me the oppurtunity to take care of myself and it is nothing but blue skies from this point on.  I want to thank everyone for their support, it made a difference in my life.  Recovery was and still is an every day thing and each day gets better.  I went to surgery weighing 279 and as of today I weigh 259.  I feel better and can do things that may seem minute to some but is a huge thing to me.  I am learning my new self everyday and all I can say is Life is Great!
