Well It has been over a year and 4 mths and I am officially in the "normal" BMI!!!  I am so excited.  I actually have another 10lbs to go to reach my goal, but I have been exercising and see it happening before the end of the year.  I can't believe how well things have gone.  I did have to have my gallbladder removed, but I can say that was my only problem that I can attribute to weight loss surgery.  I can 100% say that if I had it to do again, there would be no hesitation. 

well its been a little over 6mths now and i am down 94lbs at present.  i am now down to a size 14 pant and size 14/16 shirt.  i have to admit that the pants are stretch, but i still claim the size 14.  i am still so grateful that i had the surgery, i have had no real side effects and my energy level is through the roof.  i will have to say that the saggy skin is a little bit of a downer, but compaired to what i was before i will take it.  hey, there is always plastic surgery later if it doesn't firm up.  i hope everyone is doing well.

Well I am currently 3mths out and 52lbs down since surgery.  I can't belive the energy that i have now.  I can actually go to work and come home not hurting all over.  I am so glad I finally had the nerve to have this surgery. 

officially two months out and 42lbs down since surgery!!!   I still have occasional nausea, but have had no vomitting since surgery.  I think everything is going well.  I am now on a full regular diet, thank God.  Here's hoping that the rest of my journey will go as smoothly as the last two months.

Finally got my G-tube removed!!!   It didn't hurt much, just a little tugging and then it was over.  Glad  I don't have to dress to hide it now.

Today is my one month anniversary!!  27lbs down and counting.  I am finally at peace with my G-tube and the weight loss so far.  I started soft foods and have finally got rid of the soup!!  I admit I am about a week early on the soft foods but I am scheduled to get my tube out on Wednesday so I figured that I need to see if I can handle soft foods before then.  I am doing well with my diet so far, just taking it easy. 

well I am now 3wks out and 20lbs lighter.  After getting frustrated about my weight loss I decided to jump on my eliptical trainer and see if I could get things moving.  BAD IDEA!  Guess I wasn't ready for it cause I pinched a nerve and was limping for 3 days.  I guess I will stick to walking for now and maybe attempt the machine after another 25lbs are gone.  My plans are to return to work this Thursday.  I hope all goes well.

it is now 2wks and 4 days after surgery and I have only lost 18lbs.  The majority of my weight fell off in the first wk-wk1/2.  Since my 1st pre-op visit (1wk ago) I have only lost 2 lbs.  I am starting to get very nervous.  What if it doesnt' work for me.  Have I completly changed my body and spent major $ for 18lbs?  Logically I know I will it will start coming off again, but everyday that I haven't lost is like a knife in my chest.  I see other people's profile that had surgery on the same day as me and they have already lost 24-35lbs.  What am I doing wrong?  I admit that there are a couple of days that I didn't walk (raining & Harry Potter book) but for the most part I walk every day.  I know that I am not getting in all of my protein so I am working on that.  I usually get in about 1L of H2O in a day, so what am I doing wrong.  I have given up on wanting something to taste good, i just want the weight to come off now.

ok, I am 2wks out and am SICK of the liquid diet already.  Think it is easier to just not eat.  Everything is SO bland.  I NEED FLAVOR.  The only thing that taste good at all is the Loop's Tomato Bisque, and I am sure after another 3wks it too will get boring.  I have to keep reminding myself that this is the life that I have chose and that I will have to make some sacrifices.   I know it will be worth it in the end.

Today was my first post-op visit.  I saw Kevin and he said everything is going well.   I was happy to get my staples removed.  Boy those things are itchy.  My official weigh in was 278  which put at 14lbs down in about 10 days!  I know things  will start to slow down, but I am gonna enjoy it while it last.  Now if I can just get rid of the G-tube.
