WELL I'M A LITTLE PAST MY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY. I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY. I'M DOWN TO 250 , I HAD HOPED IT WOULD IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE, BUT I WAS NOT AS GOOD AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I DID NOT USE MY TOOL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LIKE I SHOULD HAVE. SO MY ADVICE TO OTHERS IS TO USE YOUR TOOL TO THE FULLEST, CAUSE NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO GET THE OTHER 100 LBS OFF.SO I AM A BIT BUMMED, BUT THEN I HAVE TO THINK I AM SO MUCH MORE HEALTHY NOW I CAN DO THINGS WITH MY FAMILY ONCE AGAIN. SO TRY TO LOOK AT THE POSITIVES AND I DID LOOSE A HUGE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT.SO GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELES AND HERES TO ANOTHER GOOD YEAR.

well i finally found enough guts to post some pics including a before pic that i hate, but it was my reality. i am so shocked that i ever looked like that i was huge. i'm so thankful for the surgery, it has given me my life back. i can do things with my family again. my weight loss has come to stand still because i have slacked on my exercising and i still have another 100lbs to go which if i don't get my ass in gear is never going to come off.

today is my six month anniversary. i have lost 94 lbs since. plus the 30 pre op = 124lbs. total. this is just the beginning of the rest of my life. i can't wait to lose more. although it has been a tough 6 months, i would do it again in a heartbeat..

well i am now alittle over 3 mo. out and went to my check up. my MD. just made me feel horrible. he says i have not lost enough at 60 lbs. he expected more. i left there feeling like such a failure. but then my husband being so supportive asks me if i was happy with how much i had lost, and i am so he says who cares what the MD. says, you have to make yourself happy. which is right. so then we went shopping for makeup and i was much happier. the other thing he said is that i should only be eating 3 times a day. no snacks in between. i was eating snacks for some extRA protein since i wasn't really drinking protein drinks. and if i do drink any protein drinks i am to use it as a meal replacement . my MD. always seems to make feel bad, i'm glad i don't ever have to see him again, he is leaving mayo in phoenix to got o mayo in rodchester. well till later.

WELL I AM 1 MONTH OUT NOW AND HAVE LOST ABOUT 40 LBS. I AM SO EXCITED MY CLOTHES ARE GETTING WAY TO BIG.  I CAN'T WAIT TO GO SHOPPING FOR SOME CHEAP INBETWEEN CLOTHES.  I THINK I MAY BE DEHYDRATED THOUGH, I FING IT SO HARD TO GET ALL THE WATER IN., ALONG WITH THE PROTIEN. I AM DOING WELL WITH MOST FOOD, I HAVE ONLY VOMITED 2 TIMES BECAUSE I ATE TOOO FAST.YUCK!  SO I LEARNED MY LESSON, EAT VERY SLOW AND CHEW-CHEW-CHEW. ANY WAYS UPDATE MORE LATER BYE

WELL I MADE IT THROUGH THE SURGERY WITH FLYING COLORS. I AM ALSO DOWN ABOUT 26 LBS. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WELL WISHES.  I RECOVERED SO QUICKLY I WAS SO SHOCKED ABOUT THAT.  IT IS SO EXCITING TO BE LOSING SO FAST. ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY HARD MENTALLY, WANTING TO HAVE ALL THE FOOD THAT I CAN NOT HAVE. BUT I KNOW IT IS ALL WORTH IT. WELL HAVE A GREAT DAY.

WELL IT'S DOWN TO THE WIRE NOW. TODAY IS MY LAST DAY OF WORK, BEFORE SURGERY.  I LEAVE FOR PHOENIX TOMARROW. OMG, I'M SO EXCITED, I CAN'T WAIT. I'M NOT REALLY NERVOUS, I'M JUST RELIEVED THAT IT IS FINALLY HERE. SO MONDAY I GET THE IVC FILTER, TUESDAY IS PREOP STUFF AND WEDNESDAY IS THE SURGERY.  I AM DREADING INTUBATION THOUGH SINCE I'VE NEVER HAD THAT DONE BEFORE. BUT I'M SURE IT WILL BE OK.  WELL I KNOW THAT I WILL SEE YA'ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE CAUSE' I KNOW EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST FINE SO TILL THEN-LATER-

ONLY 2 WEEKS TILL LOSERSVILLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY ALL, MONDAY I HAVE TO GET AN IVC FILTER. THAT IS A FILTER OVER THE VENA CAVA. BECAUSE OF HAVING A MASSIVE PULMONARY EMBOLISM IN THE PAST AND I AM TERRIFIED OF HAVING THIS DONE. I THINK IT IS GOING TO HURT LIKE HELL. I THINK I AM MORE SCARED OF THIS PROCEDURE THAN I AM OF WLS. BUT IN A BETTER LIGHT ONLY A COUPLE MORE WEEKS TILLS SURGERY. YEAH.

YES, I FINALLY HAVE A SCHEDUALED DATE. I WILL BE HAVING SURGERY ON AUGUST 29TH, 2007. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER COME.  NOW I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT. I NEED TO START PREPARING. BUT WHERE DO I START.
