Wow it has been a good minute, I think my last post was 2011, doing this from my phone so I can't go back and forth to check. I think the last pics were from 2011, here it is a new year 2015...may 5th will mark 6 years post opp..I lost a total of 105 lbs within the first year of surgery, I have manage to keep it off over the years with trying to watch what I eat and some regular exercise,  but in this last year it has really been a struggle to maintain I have gone anywhere from 170 to 197 presently..I want to blame some of the current weight on bloating but excuses get no results... I am back on here to get motivated because by may 5,2015 would really like to be anywhere between 150-160..somebody might look at that and say no way, but I have found that because of my surgery, if I buckle down and stick to eating right and exercising regularly, it is possible...when I had the surgery it was my tool to loose the weight and it worked, now it's my tool to maintain it..I am so happy I had it done...would do it all over in a heartbeat...it truly changed my life..now over the years I have found that I am able to eat more than I did when I first had it done...so I feel like I am at a critical state in my weight loss journey, I really have to work at keeping it off..this is where you having a good mind set will come into play...you have to have to will power to eat right and exercise..or all the hard work you have done will be a waste...I know where I came from, I and even though I was big I never thought of myself as a nobody or I wasn't the shit, I always held my head high but I knew there was a smaller version of me that wanted so bad to be found and with the help of my weigh loss surgery I found her and I love her just the same, she was beautiful then and she is beautiful now...I can only hope and pray my story Will inspire someone on this site, my journey didn't happen over night and it's an ongoing battle but you can't give up the fight..so I will be posting pics and more pics and more pics...lol...I will do a monthly weigh in pic to show my progress..so here to a new year, new challenges, new accomplishments....and a better you and me...xoxo obesity peeps...

Hey everybody,
 just a quick update i am officially in One-derland. i am 199.4lbs  eight months and 80 lbs gone!!!!! i will post pics soon, and fill you guys in on what i have been up to.

i have been gone for awhile, just busy with family, work and school at night. not much time for anything the past few months anyway, went back to the dr.  i love my dr. he is the best, XOXO Dr. John D. Nye. i am officially down 67 lbs you guys. and i am now wearing a size 14. this has been the most amazing experience in my life. i would go back and do it all over again in a heartbeat. i have had no complications, eating is going well, lots of fruits and veggies and soups not to much bread and meat except for shrimp,chicken and turkey. i dont do cheese that well i am able to tolerate regular sugar in like tea mostly. i drink alot of power ades and water, i am in the gym on the regular, with my weightloss coming off the way it is i am able to pretty much keep things toned i don't plan on having any cosmetics surgeries because i think i look pretty good now with the right bodyshapers,lol, anyway we will see whats in store once i have lost more weight. i do have to say if i didn't loose another pound  am so happy with what i have lost and i would still go back and do it all over. i hope all of you are well and and i will blog soon.  hear's to the pounds we will never see again!

hello to all and i hope all of you are doing well. i am doing really good. i and down just about 40lbs and i am so excited. beenin the gym everyday trying to stay toned. i have been really busy, that's why i haven't been on lately. well i am going to post a few pics of me i am down to size 16 from 18/20 feeling fabulous. well until i blog again here's wishing everyone continued success your journey. take care.

Does anyone else love to see the weight line on the health tracker go down as much as me. It is such a good feeling to see those pounds coming off. and when you can't see it by looking in the mirror just come back to the health tracker and see how far you've come. that's what i do. oh i forgot to add in my last blog that i am finally going to start going back to the gym a girl gotta work on her fitness and new physic(sp), and besides i love to work out it's a great stress reducer, but i had put on so much weight to the point where i was always tired and never went.  i have so much energy ,now that the weight is coming off and i have my anemia under control i feel like there is no stopping me now. for those of you hoping to have surgery don't change your minds go thru with it, the pain you will have for the week or two will so be worth the rest of your life. i am looking forward to the rest of my life in a new way since my surgery and like i have said before i would not go back and change a thing. well here's to losing BIG and being BIG losers. XOXO B

hey everyone, just updating you all on my progress. i am 28.6 lbs down as of today.  i am back to a regular diet, i don't miss much from my regular diet, so i will just continue on with the way i have been going. but it's nice to know that now if i have a craving for somethingi could have it if i wantd it. it would probably only be a bite or two but it's all good.i am also happy to announce that i am no longer wearing a size 20, i was able to wear a 16 stretched the other day. so all in all i am doing really good. my doctor is pleased with my progress and i will see him in a month. i hope all is well with everyone here on the site and here's to losing BIG!!!!!

 hey everyone 24 lbs gone forever. i had my 3 wks post op yesterday and everything is going good. i only had one episode of dumping and that was because i am sensitive to smells and i had a bite of fish and someone else had something i couldn't take the smell of and it made me sick to my stomach so i dumped my bite of fish and thats all it was. i have been afraid of dumping because i thought it would be the worse thing ever like a never ending throw up, but all in all i dumped the bite i had eaten and that was that i felt better instantly. kind of like the feeling of having your jp drain removed that was the best feeling ever because by the time it was time for it to come out it had become very annoying like someone constantly poking you in your side. anyway i idn't really take pics yesterday but i plan on snapping a few tonight so i will get some posted and i hope eveyone out here in OH world is doing great and i will blog with you soon.

heeeeyyyyyyy. sorry i haven't updated , i think i am going to wait till my next appt next week to get an official weigh in and all. but i am doing great I am not one to be still so i have been on the go since i have been home. the pain is gone except for a few pains at night while sleeping but they are from just being in one position to long i suppose.but i haven't taken any pain pills in over a week. don't need them. i have been following my diet that the doctor has put me on and this week i was able to add in meat and that is going over well. i have had no episodes of dumping and i pray i never do. i need to work on getting my protien in a little better, i have been getting in some not as much as i think i should but every little bit counts. well i got on my scale on monday and it says that i have lost like 9-10 more lbs. but i have to admit my scale is a little iffy sometimes so i will not put that weight in my weight chart, i will wait till i visit with Dr. Nye next week. i went back to work today (i am a hairstylist) i thought it would be hard but i actually had a pretty good day. i only did a half a day. i thought i would have issues shampooing and lifting my arms to cut but i was good. i have to admit i was tired at the end of my half of day and went home grab me a 1.5 hr nap and i was ready to go again. so i think for the most part i am doing good. i hope all is well with everyone here on the site. here's to losing big in so many ways.
