YEAH !!!!!!! I DID IT !!!!!!! My mini goal was to be down 50 lbs by christmas, and i DID IT !!!!!!! i am so glad, wow, to head into a new year 50 lbs less than i weighed just 2 1/2 months ago , how awesome is that, health wise, no problems, still on blood pressure medicine , still taking the evil actigall and my vitamins, back with my protien shakes, liquid b-12 from GNC, my blood work cam back fine so for now my dr says i dont need the injections taking vitamins, bugs bunny complete , sugar free ( my other ones were too gritty, and i didnt like to take them, , so i didnt take them as much as i should have) and rolaids for calcium (my body tolerates these better than tums, even though i have to take more ) so thats a status report on me not having any major food intolerances at all havent tried beef, and venison doenst sit well, otherwise , cruising along so far so good ! God Willing it will stay this way !

Well here i am 2 months out , and i am down 44 lbs, i love this, i finally went shopping for some smaller sized clothes, i loved hitting the clearance racks ! since i am only gonna wear it for a couple of months i know its ok to have cheaper clothing , so to walmart it was ! down to size 22-24 top, still in 26 on the bottom , but thats due to the very large apron i have , its shrinking , but not as fast as the top , which is ok,i know it will all come sooner or later i am just so happy to be out of the 300's , and now even out of the 280's! this mornings weigh in at my personal physicians office was 278!!! thats just so fantastic! things are going great, went on a 3 mile hike this past sunday afternoon, and even though i know i overdid it , i still had a great time, legs are sore today though , funny to think , 10 years ago was the last time i did the march of dimes walk america, which is a 20 k walk. i want to be in the kind of shape that i can do it next summer, , that may or may not happen but it sure is a great goal to aim for ! i already weigh less than i have in nearly 4 years, before i got pregnant with my darling daughter :D makes me smile when i listen to her playing along with dora, and i know that we are able to get on the floor and play, and it doesnt hurt to get up !, or for that matter down! we will be moving next month , so i may not get to update it all but i will get back here, i promise!

here I am 2 weeks out , down 18lbs, TTOM has slowed down my loss this past week but I am sure it will catch up to me * I have a dr appt friday , a surgical follow up , and I am sure by friday my WT. will be down lower than it is today *I had my first "episode" last night, I took my Actigall and it got lodged in my throat, and I was miserable for about 2 hours, after I threw up 2x then I finally felt better , but wow , did it make me weak and dizzy it definately feels difrent from what it was pre op... * still feeling tired most of the time, and taking naps when my DD does hers , but its getting better, I dont have any abdominal pain , and thats a good thing * had some minor pain from unexpected sneezes , didnt sense them coming, and didnt hold my tummy, wow did that BURN!, just like tearing skin !, i know its just scar tissue , but nonethless, it HURT!!!!! feels better today though, so thats a good thing ~~~~~~~~ Its been interesting post op , my honey has been much more supportive than I thought he would be , so has my son , he has been the best !, helping around the house and what not , He is an awesome teenager !

Just checking in to see how you are doing. I'm finally on my feet again, the only complaint is the pain around my liver from the second surgery but that will fade as time goes on. Hope to see an update and hear things are going well for you. Take care.
