Well I am now one year out weighing in at 150 lbs so I am half the girl I used to be.  When I started I weighed 301.8.  Things are so much better now.  Buying clothes is a riot, I now fit in a size 10 or 12 depending on the make.  It is truly wonderful will post a new pic soon.

August 6, 2008

Today I hit 1 lb below my personal goal.  I currently weigh 159 my goal was 160.  My doctor goal was 165 and I am 6 lbs passed that.  My family physician told me I should stop now because if they removed my excess skin it would weigh between 20 to 30 lbs so she says I actually weigh 139 or 129 so I am good to go.

This journey has not been easy but the last few months have been alot better.  I can eat more and feel much better.  I have tons of energy except for when I forget my vitamines. 

I am glad I did weight loss surgery.  It was well worth it.

The first picture is surgery day and the second is May 27, 2008
Ok so here I am 8 months out and down 126.8 lbs.  Could I have done it without the surgery, no way.  Would I do it again, you bet.  Would I chose the same surgery.  NO I would not, now being more informed I would chose the DS.  But I have an excellent tool and I intend to use it.

The first picture is two weeks before sugery and the second is
February 29, 2008  Just over 5 months out

Until I saw these two pictures I did not see in myself how much I had lost

Well today is my 5 month out day.  I am feeling much better now that I can do more things walking is easier.  I started going skating with my kids, I can't believe that.  It has been 18 years since I have been on skates.  I go swimming with my kids I have even gone toboganning.  My life is getting better.  I can fit my butt into a size 16 Billy Cook saddle and when I reach 100 lbs out I am gonna buy myself one.  That is only a few days away.

 

The wows, well I no longer wear a size 34W or a size 60 overalls anymore.  I now wear a size 18 pants and a size 20 overalls.  The journey has not been easy, lots of foaming and throwing up but I would do it again in a heart beat. I have learned not to live to eat but to eat to live.  I am happy where I am.

    Well I am almost down 46 lbs I can't believe it.  I had one week where nothing happened and then boom it started again.

    Really wish I could eat more, but think I might have a stricture will contact the doctor tomorrow.  None of my clothes fit me YIPPEE

Ok so the big day is coming.  It is a welcome event.  I am nervous and not exactly excited.  I just want it done and over with and to return back home to my family.  I don't like being away from my family, I wish we live closer, but we don't.  I keep telling myself that 10 days is not that long to be away from your family.

I want the weight gone, I just want it gone.

We live on a farm and want to ride the horses and do things with my children, I can't wait for that to happen.
