Well, it's been 2 years and 9 months since my surgery....everything is going great. I'm up 3 lbs from my lowest weight of 154 which means I weigh 157. I really think the 157 is going to be my "average" weight since that it where I seem to want to stay. I would love to say that I've started exercising again but that has not happened. I got a new job and I'm literally wiped out by the time I get home and get dinner over with. I'm hoping soon that I can find the energy and time to start exercising again. I do feel like my weight has shifted around if that's even possible and my thighs don't seem to be as thin as they were last year lol, even though I've only gained the 3 pounds so not quite sure what that's all about and so that's another reason i feel like I need to get to working out again if nothing else just walking. As always I will end by saying having this surgery was the best decision I've ever made...God Bless!
January 1, 2012 Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Still so happy that I was able to have this surgery almost 2 years ago. Was still the best decision I ever made and am still maintaining my 114 lb. weight loss. Once in a while it may go up a pound or two, but I try to watch my snacking and it comes back down. I'm hoping for the new year to get back in to an exercise routine!

Just found out that I am 5' 6" not 5' 5", which means my BMI that is 24.9 is officially in the normal weight range. I can't believe it. I weigh 154 lbs. Although even if I don't lose another pound which I haven't lost anything in quite some time I will be perfectly content with that. However there is a small part of me that would like to get to 150, not sure really why, lol. Maybe if I started exercising again that may do the trick since I haven't for several months.

Well it's been a little over a year and 5 months I now weigh 154 lbs. I've lost a total of 114 lbs. It's been a while since I was on here. Lots of changes in my life besides the weight loss my job was eliminated due to budget cuts so as of now I'm unemployed. I am able to draw unemployment which helps but it's not the same as working, lol. I have to admit though I am absolutely loving spending the summer with all my girls. The entire family went to Disney at the end of May and we had the best time. The rest of our summer has just been spent hanging out in our pool which I have to say I've been in my pool more this summer than probably all the years that we've had one and that's a long time. Everything is going well as far as eating is concerned once in a while I might have a problem with meat still but that's about it. Exercising has slacked off again and I hate that. It's so hot outside right now that I'm not really wanting to walk. They are having a water Zumba class at our public pool and I think I will try and go to one of the classes, it looks like fun and I loved going to Zumba classes. I was going at 6 a.m. back in April -May before my job was eliminated but I didn't sign up again after that, for one thing I really didn't have to get up that early since I wasn't working lol. Need to focus on something though. Well that's about it for now. Once again gastric bypass surgery was the best thing that I have ever done for myself and I still have no regrets. God Bless!

Well it's been a few months since I've posted anything. I'm mainintaing my 111 pound weight loss and have stayed at the same weight of 157 since January. I'm happy with where I am now and if I don't lose another pound I would be fine. However to get out of that "overweight" mark on the BMI I need to lose about 8 more pounds. I haven't been exercising at all and I know that if I get back to it I could hopefully lose some more. They have decided to do a 6 a.m. Zumba class at the health center and that will be a perfect time for me to go...evenings are just to hectic because one of my daughters play softball and they have games about 3-4 nights out of the week and mostly on the nights that the zumba class is taught. So beginning April 26th they are adding the morning class. I love zumba so I can't wait to get back in it. I pretty well can eat whatever I want but just smaller amounts. I really don't eat bread anymore, so I do miss biting into a sandwich with the bread but it's just not worth it because 2 bites of a sandwich and I would be done. I did get sick one day last month when our family went to a japanese place to eat, although I only ate about 3 bites of rice and 2 bites of the chicken I got deathly sick and had to have hubby pull over on the side of the road and I got sick. I guess maybe it was the rice, that's the only thing I can think of...will not be doing that again. Still getting tons of compliments, hair has stopped falling out, starting to fill in again and once again so happy that I had this done. Life is Great!

Well another month has passed and I now weight 159 lbs a total loss of 109 lbs. Weight loss has really slowed down but I am perfectly fine with it. It's a new year and I need to get back into walking again and or exercising. I loved it when I was doing it this summer and early fall and then stopped because the classes were held outside and it was too cold. Am checking into going to a gym that has some new spinning and zumba classes. I can't believe that it's almost been a year since I've had the surgery. I sat it in each of my blogs and I'm going to say it again.....having this surgery was the best thing that I have ever done for myself.

Well I only lost 3 lbs in November, but I am not complaining one bit. I know that I have slowed down and if I don't lose another pound I am perfectly fine with it. Since it is so cold outside we haven't had our exercise class since October. I need to join the gym here in town and at least go walk on the track. I'm also thinking about doing the Zumba classes again, it's just that the one I like going to her classes are so late in the evening. I like to be able to get off work and then go straight there and get it over with. Eating is still different, some days I can eat a little more than others. Like yesterday I was able to eat a cup of soup and 1/2 of a gilled pannini for lunch, but today I was only able to eat 2 shrimp and 2 french fries from long john silvers. But that's what I had this done for, I don't ever want to be able to overeat again.I still get compliments evey day and lots of people don't even recognize me, lol. It's still the greatest thing that I have ever done for myself.

104 pounds
Oct 27, 2010
Today is October 27th, 2010 and I've lost 104 lbs. as of today. This month my weight loss has really kicked in again, not sure what's going on but I'm thrilled. May be that I'm really focusing on getting my protein in, and I have been getting more fresh veggies and salads in. I'm am so happy and I feel so good. Getting tons of compliments to the point that sometimes it's embarrasing (but just for a moment, lol). I love my life I feel like I'm even more outgoing than I was before. I am so happy I had this surgery and still have not had one regret at all. Just need to figure out how to post pictures on here.

100 pounds
Oct 16, 2010
Today is October 17, 2010 and I have officially lost 100 lbs. I had surgery on Feb. 4, 2010 and it's been a little over 8 months / 32 weeks! I was so happy this morning I cried and cried. Having this surgery is the best thing that I have ever done and I have never had one regret not one. I am in better shape I think than when I was in high school.
