Hope all my friends out there are all doing well. I am now at 190 pounds, wish I could break this plateau and get down to about 150. I have lost 205 pounds all together. I have more energy than I have ever had since I was a teenager. I am perfectly happy where I am with my weightloss. I wear a size 12 in jeans and I do not believe that I have been that size since I was about twelve years old.

Well it has been a little while since I have updated on my progress. As of this morning I weighed 216 pounds, Holy cow that is so much of a difference that I can hardly believe it. I have lost over 175 pounds since I first started my journey. I thank god that I was strong enough to have the surgery and to change my life for the better. Hope that all my friends are having the great success that I am having. Take care to all and a HAPPY NEW YEAR AND NEW YOU AND ME.

I am not sure who I am anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that I have lost so much weight. Yesterday I weighed 242 which is great, I have lost almost 100 pounds from the surgery and since July 2006 I have lost 150 pounds. But I have always been the fat girl I am getting to the point that is not who I am anymore. I will soon be wearing a size 18 which is smaller than I have been since I was in 10th grade. I am so much able to things that have been hard for me to do over the past few years. I feel so strange going to a store to buy clothes I am still trying just to buy stuff without trying things on and grabbing a size 28 or 30 and now I know that I have to try things on. I am learning to adjust but I can see it will take me awhile to do.

My weight is now down to 264. I am happy. My hubby asked me yesterday what I weighed when we were first together and I told him 220 and then he asked what I weighed now and I told him, he said I look smaller now than I did then. I have thought the same thing. Why is that and how is that possible. I am now wearing an x-large which I can't remember the last time I wore a regular size. Not sure what size I wear in pants yet, I just keep taking in the old ones. I am probably in 20 or 22.

The comes off slow, then quick, really oddly. This morning I weighed 285 which I have not seen since after my 10 year old was one. But the weight comes off differently than when I lost weight before the surgery. Definitely able to get around. I am enjoying walking around fairs and carshows this year which I have not in the past. My beginning weight when I first started the process last July I weighed 394 pounds, 109 pounds lost.

Getting a little annoyed, seems like at first the weight was just falling off me, now it has slowed way down, is this normal. I am still losing weight, but only about 2 pounds a week. Since my surgery, I have lost 46 pounds and I am happy, just wish it was more. My surgeon seems very happy with my weightloss. Since I first started on my journey, I have lost 101 pounds and I am extremely happy with that. Can't wait to get down to the lower 200's, I now get around so much better than I have in a long time. I have only problems with a few foods, like with chicken, if it is really tender it makes me sick. I can eat anything else, pretty much, but only a little. Some foods give me cramps and gas. Definitely different with eating. Will be posting some pics soon to show the changes, so far.

I had a great WOW moment yesterday. I tried on a pair of pants that I bought two years ago and at that time they were too small, I couldn't quite do up the button and definitely could not zip the zipper, well I put them on and had room to put a pillow in the front. Needless to say they went in a pile to go in our yard sale. Well back about 4 years ago a friend brought me some jeans that she thought would fit me, well when I tried them on only one pair fit the other two I could not pull them over my butt, well yesterday I put them on and they fit me and I could sit down and actually breath, I am so happy. But now I definitely have to go to some yard sales and get me some smaller clothes or i"ll be running around naked cause everything will soon be falling off me. That has made evrything all well worth it and I am so glad I did this for myself.

I really cannot believe that just since the surgery I have already lost 31 pounds. I am feeling pretty good most of the time. I do feel a little depressed once in a while. I am not really badly depressed, but keep getting sad. I am trying new foods and most things agree with my system. The things that don't agree with me, I know that I can't eat it immediately. Summer vacation for my kids starts tomorrow and all three of us together can get out there and take a few walks everyday. I want to get a bike so I can go on bike rides with my kids. I also want to get them on some kind of exercise regimin so they don't have to struggle with there weight like I have. The only soreness that I am having right now is where Dr. D repaired my hernia under my belly button, but is not terrible. My daughter is always making the comment to me, that I am walking so much faster now. I am also realizing that I can fit in almost all seatbelts in cars, without help. My daughter the other day gave me a hug and got a big smile on her face and said" i could touch my fingers, when I hugged you mom!" That was definitely my wow moment.

I can not believe that everything that I have read and heard are truein one aspect or another. The fact that I do not feel hungry is still quite a mystery to me. I have started eating soft foods, most of what I am eating has agreed with my system. The only thing I have had trouble with is chicken, I pureed it and added light mayo after 5 small bites my stomach was upset for two hours. But the eggbeaters scrambled, lowfat ricotta, light weight watchers yogurt, none of those have bothered me at all. The only pain I have is in my right side, but a heating pad seems to do the trick. I also had a hernia under my belly button repaired, watched Big Medicine and this man that weighed 1,000 pounds had the gastric bypass done, I could watch that, but when they showed how they repaired the hernia I had the heebee-jeebeez. No wonder it looks like I have a canyon in there now.

I honestly can't believe that everything that I have read is coming true. The weight loss right now is fenominal, since last Thursday, when I got home from the hospital, I have already lost 21 pounds. I know that it will slow down , when I start on the pureed, but HOLY COW. The other thing that is really hard to get through my head is that I truly don't get hungry. A few sips of fluid makes me feel satisfied, unbelievable. I seem to have bounds of energy, except today, but I didn't get a good nights sleep. I have been walking, which I seriously used to hate, but now it feels really good to go for walk, I don't go too far yet, but I go a little farther each time. I guess that is all for now.
