Well..I made it through Thanksgiving and it was much easier than I thought. I just love my new tool!! It's hard to believe that in only 8 mos, I've lost 130 lbs and I feel GREAT. My daughter is feeling the repercussions though we think, we had to take her to a stomach specialist, because she had some abnormal lab work come back. The specialist says she looks healthy and that her unwillingness to eat meat of any sort around me could be do to the fact that it causes me trouble at times and has become a learned behavior to her (meaning that she associates eating meat with getting sick). I just can't believe how much better I feel and the energy that I have....it's AWESOME!! My mom was especially commenting on my energy level @ Thanksgiving, cuz I helped cook and cleaned up after wards and 8 mos. ago I would've been sitting in the chair like a blob waiting for someone to cater to me!! I thank the Lord everyday for this new beginning and it has been such a blessing to my marriage and being the Mom that I want to be for my beautiful daughter!! Well...I'll stop rambling and I hope that all who are reading this have a very Merry Christmas!!

Well..I'm 6 mos. out and doing okay most days. I've had good days and bad, thought I was going to have a scope because I was having pain every time I ate for about 2 weeks, but the good Lord answered my prayers and the pain went away 
..PRAISE GOD, so the surgeon said just to keep an eye on things and if the pain comes back then it's scope time 
. Looking forward to the 31st, my little goblin is going to be Ming Ming from the Wonder Pets!! I'm so thankful for this surgery and the new lease on life it has given me and ALL the energy I now have 
!! I'm also happy to say that I've lost 115 pounds..WOW!! Well, that's it...hope all who read this are doing well and if anyone new is reading this I'd love to chat!!

5 months out and feeling GREAT!!
Sep 16, 2008
Well...I'm a little over 5 mos. post-op and have lost 105 lbs 
and I feel GREAT!! I'm excited to see Dr. C. Friday and get my new measurements and also spend the day with my mom!! She has been such an inspiration to me throughout this journey and all the journeys in my life thus far...I don't know what I'd do without her, she is my angel 
here on earth!! I can't forget my BEST friend ever Jill..she too is an inspiration to me and I'd be lost without her too and I think God knew this and that is one of the reasons why I'm staying here. She is always the first to cheer me on and make me feel good about myself, when I'm having a bad day . I saddens me that she can't have weightloss surgery and experience the same release that I have 
!! I just don't understand these insurance companies that don't offer help for people like us, when in the long run it would cost them less in medical expenses 
!! Well enough of my soap box...but damn!! We got the news last Wednesday and it looks like there's no move in our future...but the good news is that the company Chris works for is sending him to management training and paying for it, like they say when God closes a door he opens a window . The biggest thing I've noticed the past couple of weeks is that I'm finally experiencing the constipation that I've read from other blogs...I was hoping it would avoid me, but no dice 
!! I'm just glad that the nausea and vomiting have been getting better and less frequent when I try to eat meat 
!! Well that's all for now...I'll update after my doctor's appointment...hope all goes well 
!!
Take Care,
Mary

Hello to everyone who is reading this!! Still plugging away and I'm happy to say that I'm down 95 lbs 
!! It feels amazing. I can't believe the energy that I have. Still waiting to see if we'll be making the move to Kansas and hoping to have an answer today!! I must say that a BIG part of me hopes that we will be moving...I think I'm ready for a change !! It's so hard to believe that our daughter is 2 
!! She is soooo much fun these days and her personality has just blossomed!! Still having trouble with meats...so I have to get protein other ways, but I'm not complaining I'll take this over the alternate anyday!! Well...that's all for now!!

WHAT'S NEW WITH ME
Aug 03, 2008
Hey to all who are reading this. I am happy to report that I'm down 86 lbs..WOW did I SAY 86 !! Had a great weekend, but a busy one...celebrated Baylee's 2nd birthday and will post pics soon!! Still having a hard time getting all the protein in and eating like I should...most days I don't feel like eating, but I stay good and hydrated!! I can't believe how well this new pouch is working for me!! Feeling a little nervous lately as my husband applied for a new job within his company and we might be moving to Kansas...the good thing is that I have some family out there, but the thought of being away from my parents scares me...I'm very close to my mom (my best friend) !! I know that it's in God's hands and what's meant to be will happen...so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the possibilities for my husband and if we're gonna move, now is the best time for Baylee 
!!
Well that's all for now...

July 4th Vacation..sorry it's taken so long to post
Jul 14, 2008
Well, I made it through the rain...haha!! No, I had an awesome time in MO visiting my brother and sister-in-law!! It was non-stop entertainment though and poor Bayleeboo ended up with pneumonia 
, but she's better now!! We had a great time on the pontoon and Baylee was the watcher of the front deck anytime the boat was in motion!! She also caught the only fish of the weekend 
and I think she thought it was a shark!! I was amazed at how well this awsome new pouch of mine works . There were days and still are days when I have to remind or make myself eat and I'm happy to say that I'm down 76 pounds...WOW did I say 76 pounds 
??!! I even lost 4 on our vacation. It was soo nice to be all together for a change and Baylee was soooo happy to be with her daddy!! Thanks to all who have supported me and read my updates along this wonderful journey and I can't wait to reach my goal (only 124 pounds) left!!

Dr. VISIT
Jun 20, 2008
Well.. I went to the Dr. today for my almost 3 mo. check up and she said that I was loosing weight a little faster than what she'd like to see....WHAT???!!!
I thought I was doing okay and I still feel good for the most part. I guess that just adds to my frustrating week!! Oh well...I know it will get better and on the plus side I was happy that I didn't turn to food in the midst of my depressing week as I would have before surgery 
!! By the way, I'm down 66 pounds and 11 in.!! Well... that's it for now...just hoping for a better week next week!!

10 weeks out!!
Jun 10, 2008
I feel GREAT!! I've lost 56 pounds. I don't know how many inches until next Friday. I finally found a protein supplement that works most days (Whey liquid protein shot) with 42 grams of protein in each 2 oz. shot!! I still love water aerobics and miss it when the weather is bad!! I was amazed that I went down 3 sizes in my swimsuit...YAHOO!! Life is definately good and I have Dr. Caccuci and GOD to thank for that!! Can't wait for my trip to Kansas in July to see my brother and see the look of shock on his face and it will be nice to have a family vacation as my husband works 7 days a week most weeks!! Take Care all who read!!
GOD BLESS,
Mary
GOD BLESS,

6 wk followup
May 16, 2008
Well...I've made it though 6 wks 
and I just got back from the Dr. and boy do I like their scales better...down 44 pounds (mine says 42) and have lost 9 in. around my waist !! The Dr. says my progress is great and she's thrilled that I am doing water aerobics 3 to 4 times a week for 60 mins. at a time 
!! The only thing she was worried about is that I occasionally when I eat meats and she said if it becomes more frequent I'll have to have a scope done !! Overall, I'm thrilled with my progress and I hope that getting all the protein in starts getting a little easier !! Thanks to all who support me and I'll continue to keep you all posted on my progress!!
