Well it been awhile since I posted. I fee great best I have ever in my life. Finally Happy and Healthy and Happy with me...I keep bouncing from 140-145 depends on the day, but that is ok not stewing about it at all. For the first time my license reads what I weight. I am told all the time I look like my sister and peopel think I am one or the other. My youngest sister is 7 years younger than me, so that make me feel great.  Thinking maybe in a year or so I might have tummy tuck. Only thing is I want to make sure I can say enough enough and not want alot of plastic surgery done. I had my breast done early 2000 and that was great. Well Happy Holidays...

1 year since surgery

Hello everyone couple day shorts of my year out. July 20th would be the big day for me..

I had my year checkup with Dr. Clough.  He was so proud of me. even said I looked beautiful..I weighed 151 lbs.Yippie. I am 9 lbs below My Goal. His goal was 145lbs. The only thing that was wrong I was Vit. D defficent, he gave me a prescribtion and all wil be ok. Then I went to the nutrish . I was 150 lbs...Yippie Amanda said I did a great job and she was proud of me. She also told me I was healthy, imagine first time in my life I was told I was healthy. Only thing they want me to start taking two multy vit. a day instead of one. Which is no big deal they want everyone to start doing the same thing.

 I feel to good about myself happy and healthy with ME.. I even like myself alot more.  I thought I was a happy person before but WOW I even feel it now.  Everyone says I smile more than I did before.
 I never thought I would be told with a BMI of 26.2 that I was healthy.  They didnt care so much about my BMI it was the amount of fat in my body. I only have 33.2% in my hole body. I started out with 47.9%. It has been hard work but it is so worth everything you go thur to get to this point.
  A year ago I was thinking I have nothing to lose but weight. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought  I would lose 80lbs,,Did it say 80lbs..Everyone is different in how much they lose. every pound that you lose is all good.
 I could go on for hours just know if you are reading my post. I am very proud of myself and happy and healthy..I am glad I had the surgery even with all the ups and down. If your thinking about having this surgery make sure you do it for all the right reasons..FOR YOURSELF.

This surgery gave me my life back. Thank you Dr. Clough and Thank you  Barb Erving

To be happy and healthy about your self is the Best.

My Journey

Dec 08, 2007

  Today is 12/9/07 and I am sitting here thinking about how wonderful it was to beable to have surgery. I have never in my life ever felt as good about myself. I finally did something for ME. We all take care of everyone else and put ourselfs last, not any more for me. I want to be selfish about getting healthy and living longer.

My husband has been a great support person for me never in my life thought he would be, we have been married 22 years been together 27 years and I love him so much,

Yesterday was the first time I played horse shoes since my surgery and I kicked major butt, I go with my dad it great to make him feel so proud of me.  I have so much more stamina then I ever did before.

I walk 2 miles 5 & 6 days a week at a range of 3.0 -3.5 It wonderful game I play trying to get to 15 minute mile. Im down to 18 min. miles. I use my theraband 3 days a week with arm exercises. I have a ab lounger that I do 20 sit and holds 5 days a week. Never thought I would miss exercise when I take a break on weekends or Sundays..

I am 4 months out from surgery down 59lbs. I know everyone loses different. I am so happy with my weight loss so far and MORE to come. 

Thanks for listening

Jul 29, 2007

I had my surgery on july 20th. Everything went well scared the doctor couple of times I stopped breathing while i was out...he told my sister.

Im one week out and oh my god what a difference.. Im no longer on any pain meds, I can eat anything that is on the list., I am up walking around with no problems, the inscisson is the only place that is sore...YIPPIE I really cant believe I am not hungry at all. After all the gas pain I had (took Gas x Stripes) after I got home from the help of my friends on here, I feel so great I love the new Journey I am on. I wont weigh myself until my first doc appointment Aug.6th.. ALL I want to do no is mow my lawn lol.
