Well, I ended up having a revision...had a lot of scar tissue built up around the outside of my pouch and it had bridged itself to the large part of my stomach. Also had to have an ulcer removed from my pouch. Since the surgery I am doing well. I did bounce from 160 to 174 and am trying to get that off...ugh.
 

Well it's been a long time since I've put a post on here. There have been a lot of things going on in my life and I have been wrapped up in them, some for the good and others not so good. I have been having a lot of trouble with my surgery and am currently on liquids due to strictures and a nasty ulcer that just won't go away. I have an appointment with my doctor Wednesday, but he just seems to "bandaid" the problem and then I end up back there a month or so later. I am two years and two months post op and am down to 160 pounds and wearing a size 5/6. I will try to keep this updated the best I can. :)

Well, I have no idea what week im in but I know i've been gone a while. I have had some personal problems and have just now got back to where I need to be. As of today I am at 193 pounds a loss of 170 since surgery and I feel good! My brain still hasn't caught up with the rest of me though and I still think I'm 363 pounds...ha ha. I am down to a size 14 from a 28! I will try to update more often. :)

Week 44 went pretty well, I lost a total of 5.8 pounds bringing my total lost since surgery to 157.2. I am so happy with the way things are going for me. I have been exercising more and not eating as much junk. ;) I am getting closer to Onederland!

This week was a nice surprise, I thought I had been at a stall for quite a while and found out that my scale at home was not right. So I have a different one that works now...lol As for this week I am at 211.6 for a total loss of 151.4. I have been walking more and trying to stay on track. Things are better than they have been. :) 

 Another week, another update. This week was ANOTHER repeat of the past several, I have stayed the same again this week. I am still at 222, I guess it could be worse but I am getting really frustrated with this stall. I am ready for the weight to start going back down again. :) Maybe next week things will go the way I want them to. I know that I NEED to get back out there and get back in to my walking routine, I know I will start to lose again if I would just get my butt up and start doing things the RIGHT way again. :) Ok, well enough of me whining about this week...lol I am going to make sure next week will be a better one! :P

 This week was a repeat of last week. I am still at 222.0 and it doesn't seem to want to move down any. I guess It's better than moving up...lol I found that I still have problems with chicken even though they corrected the stricture. I guess I can live without chicken though..lol I have also noticed that I am able to eat a lot more than I had been, that worries me a little bit too but I'm sure I can work it out. :)  

Week 39 went pretty good, I lost a total of 3.2 pounds bringing my total lost since surgery to 141.0, week 40 was a zero loss but no gain either so that's good. I did have a scope done and they found that I have an ulcer and also had to correct a stricture that I had. My doctor told me that hopefully with the medication and him opening up the stricture that things should be better for me now. We'll see...lol  

This week I didn't gain but I didn't lose either. I stayed the same and that's ok. I know that this happens and I  am just going to try to work a little harder this week. :) 

This week was really BAD. I went way off and paid for it this week. I am at 225.2 which is up a pound from last week. I am not surprised at all. I also saw my surgeon, he is going to schedule a scope to make sure I don't have any problems. I quit smoking as well, I haven't had a cigarette for over a week now. It hasn't been easy, but so far so good. :) I really need to get back to the exercise and taking my vitamins, I really feel like crap this week. :(
