6 Months since last post

Jan 16, 2010

Hello Everyone!
  It has been a while since I posted last but life has been a little stressful and not all because of my new tummy!
  Life with RNY gets slightly easier as time goes on IF you keep in mind always where you came from and how good it feels not to be 'weighed' down by all the excess. It has been tough not to fall back into some of the old habits like eating dessert after meals, not exercising.(that's a tough one to stay on track with). Even if you think you dont have time for it, you need to MAKE time for it!
  I have had some issues of depression but I dont think it's because of my weight loss but life in general. Not sure what else to include today so if anyone has any ideas what I should blog about send me a note!!!

Life is going good!

May 18, 2009

  Well here we are, my son DID IT! He graduated and I am a happy camper! We had a hawain themed party, not too many showed up but I really didn't expect them to because the invites went out too late. I was hopin he could make a little more money than he did but he went to work already this morning so he will just have to work hard to make his own money.
  I am doing good, I am down 126 lbs. from last winters highest wieght. I feel soo much better, my knees dont hurt, my back doesnt bother me nearly as much and no high blood pressure and no diabetes!!! Not much more to say right now so I will check in later!!

Summer is almost here!!

Apr 19, 2009

Sorry I havent posted lately but you know how life tends to get in the way when you finally start living it instead of letting it go by!
 Alot has happened since last I posted. I am starting the clean up and organizing of a move to LAS VEGAS!!! Yes, my son will finally be finished with school and off on a life of his own and I will be free to move back to my beloved vegas and surrounding area.
  I started college Business courses online and am almost finished with my first class. Its going fine, hard getting used to schoolwork after 22 years but it comes back to you just like riding a bike.
 The third really cooool thing that happened was I won a raffle, it cost me 50 bucks and guess what i won- " A MOTORCYCLE"!!! Yup, a 2005 yamaha v-star custom. It's awesome....Now for the biggie....
  I am one week out from having an armlift!!! The doc actually took off almost a FOOT of excess crap from my arms!! There wasn't alot of pain really, just alot of discomfort. My arms feel like over ripe tomatoes that could explode at any second!! LOL
But oh my the difference, I wouldn't even be ashamed of wearing sleeveless shirts with these big ol scars! they are nowhere near healed yet but they are gonna look great!!
 So onto an update of my Rny, I am doin great. occasionally I overeat but I havent had a dumping episode in a while and I have even eaten small amounts of sweets, not alot but you all know how hard it is to resist! I started having some dizzy spells and almost fainted once about a month ago so I went to the doctor and with tests and such we decided that I was becoming hypoglycemic and so I have had to add about 200 cals more spread thruout the day to keep my blood sugar up some. Since doing this I haven't had anymore spells and I have been feeling pretty good! I will try to update again sooner!

Still doin good

Mar 21, 2009

  Howdy all!! It's been awhile since I posted and just wanted to update a little.So the last couple months I have lost about 15lbs or so, I'll have to go back and check my wieght at the last post. I have been kinda lacks at the exercise and I have been a little tired for a month or so but I think it has been alot of winter blues and a little depression. Lots of life things goin on plus a very stressfull job.  I feel good otherwise. I think the reality of my life change is getting easier to automatically know what I should and shouldn't be doing, foodwise.
  When I was brand new and even at 6 months out, you cant help thinking that you have made a mistake but if you keep your convictions in your mind everything gets a little easier every month. It will NEVER be easy but it gets less complicated! I also do not think there was anything I could have done differently...  And, Yes, I would do it all over again!!

Almost 6 months out

Dec 26, 2008

Well, here i am day after christmas and feeling calm and excited to be alive and healthy! I am two pounds from my personal goal. The wieght I told myself would be enough. I dont believe that I am done losing but it would actually be enough. I am getting a little obsessed with researching plastic surgery cuz I believe that if I could get rid of the extra skin I would be perfect enough for me.  Especially since I dont need my medications anymore I feel like my surgery was a COMPLETE  success!!
  Yes, there are some drawbacks but the benefits are outwieghing them.  I have been losing hair for about two months, my hair used to be real thick. I am sometimes really weak and tired but I have learned how to work thru this. My six month appointment with my doc is in two weeks so I will update again after that!

Been a while

Nov 09, 2008

  Isn't it amazing how time gets away from you when you are finally feeling better. I am actually feeling really good and really sexy for the first time in my life!!! I still have a litte belly discomfort with tight clothing and I am still not happy with the bathroom issues but it's tolerable. I am doing good with exercise ane I think that is the key to good weight loss. I think that the new attitude that I have aquired has alot to do with the way others are reacting to me now..Never really paid attention to that kind of stuff before. But I actually notice guys checkin me out now, either it didn't happen before or I just didn't notice!?  There are also a couple of women that I know that are so jealous it is completely hilarious!! So I actually flaunt in front of them just for the fun of it!! hehe
 One downfall, my hubs is starting to get an attitude with me. I am guessing he is starting to feel insecure and at this moment all I have to say is 'thats his problem, not mine'. I told him if I was gonna leave him, I would have done it about a two weeks after I married him when he showed his true colors!!
  I am going to try to remember to post more often.

Three Months

Oct 14, 2008

10-14-08
  So, I am three months out as of three days ago. It has been a really rough road but I am feeling really good, some of the little muscles in my stomach are still giving me some twinges but they are getting stronger everyday. Just about everyone I know is telling me how completely different I look and it feels GOOD! What feels even better is the fact that I am almost in a size 14. I think the last time I seen that size was somewhere around 4th grade. Now that I am feeling much better, I would do it again. I would not have said that a month ago!!
 Anyway I am down 64 pounds, I went under 200 lbs and the party has been on ever since.
