i have lost 100 lbs!!!! my scale says 168 lbs!  i am so excited... if someone had said i would lose 100 lbs in 5 months, i would have never believed it!  but its true!!

I have  been so busy working and trying to get my life back together since  my dad passed away, sorry for not posting... this morning my weight is 174!!! but more important than that is the fact that i feel a trillion times better... no more c-pap, much less back and joint pain and no more stress incontinence!!  i have posted/ updated my pics. take a look and see the difference!

Sorry I havent posted in a while but i have been going through alot..... ......ad just passed away and i have been having to deal with settling his affairs.

This morning my weight was 200.0 lbs!!!!  I am thrilled... I cant remember when i was below 200 lbs!!!  Will update with pics soon.

Just got back from Pigeon Forge Tennessee!!  Spent my 17th wedding anniversary there and had a wonderful time!

I went to the doctor today and he said i am doing great!  I have lost a total of 49 lbs!  I am so proud of the work i have done!  I dont hurt as bad and my breathing has improved!

Hello Everyone, I am doing fine.  Had some trouble with a kidney stone last week but i am feeling better now.  I am so glad i had this surgery.... my breathing is better and it feels sooo good to try on something that was too tight and find that its tooo big!!!  Today i weigh 223 lbs!!!

  

Wanted to give a quick update.... am doing much better and am losing weight and inches now.  This morning i put on a skirt that my MIL gave to me a couple of years ago and it didnt fit so i kept it hung up in the closet.... well today it fits..... and its a size 18!!!!!!!  Not sure if i am definately an 18 yet because i am not buying any clothes.... but my stack of "too bigs"  is sure growing.  I was buying 3x and 24W so if i can wear an 18 (even if its just one 18) then i am tickled.  I plan to post pics at 1 month out which will be 9/21/07!

Hi!  I am feeling fine, but I am still having trouble getting my fluids and protein in!  I am saying i feel fine because i am not hurting but actually i am very weak and dizzy and cranky!  I did call the nut yesterday and she says that i will have to go into the hosp if i dont do better NOW!!  I dont want that to happen so i am drinking and drinking!  She also said that i cant be losing fat that anything i have lost is muscle mass!  WHOA!!!!!  I dont want that either!!! Last night i told hubby what she said so he has sat with my egg timer and looks at me to drink when it goes off!!!  Its so cute with him taking care of me like that!  So i drink when he says to drink.  He stayed home from work today so he could make sure i drank like i am supposed to (he has slept on the couch! lol and raises his head and will say "are you drinking" and i take a sip and he goes back to sleep! its so cute).  I am wanting to go and watch my son play football tonight so i have to be extra hydrated or i wont be able to stand the heat! 

I came home from the hospital on Thurs 8/23/07 and have been doing and feeling ok.... but my new little pouch isnt big enough to get all the fluid and protein into yet.  I am working on it though!  I havent been hungry at all!  When I start feeling really good i will post my hosp experience!!!!  I know when i was preop i looked at peoples profile to see what they had written.  So I will post as well..... may take a few days but i will write it down.  Today I tried to go walking at the park and i walked one lap and could have went further but it was hot and i am not getting in enough fluids so i dont want to dehydrate.  I am also using my gazelle when i feel like it.... maybe just 3,4 or 5 mins but i am doing it..  I bought an exercise video that i will start when i am a little less sore.  Yesterday i  drove to Wilmore Kentucky to see my dad, He has terminal cancer and i havent been able to see him often enough so my sisters and i went to see him.  Knowing that i am going to lose him is too much for words!

All in all i feel pretty ok but i get tired really quick so i am drinking while awake and trying to exercise until i get so tired i have to lay down.  And everyday i am trying to get in more fluids and protein than yesterday!

My surgery was great. I was not nervous.  I was too excited!  The only problem i had with day 1 of surgery was being nauseated.  Every time i tried to get up to walk i would dry heave.... so i would have to get back in bed.  The second day after surgery WED, I woke up feeling fine.  I was sore when i would try to move but it wasnt a lot of pain.  the second day i had 3 sf popcicles and 3 spoonfull drinks of chicken broth!  I know that wasnt near what i was supposed to have had but was all i could tolerate.  Today i have had 1 popcicle and 1/2 popcicle and 8 ounces of hotchocolate.... and it has taken me all morning to drink that.  When will i be able to get my fluids and protein  in?  at this rate i will never get them in.  I drink til i feel full and then have to quit!  I am taking small sips but i get too full.
