A new year...and one of the hardest times since WLS.  I am struggling with old habits.  It's funny...proteins, vegetables, and fruits can make me sick; sweets and carbs never make me sick.  I have to really think about my eating ALL the time, or else I will eat the wrong things.  Then I fell at work and messed up my knee so that has hurt my exercise.  I need to find a way to work out.  

I fit into a size 10 jeans (womens).  It feels good.  I would love to have plastic surgery to get rid of some of this flab, but I can hide it well with clothes.  :)  

Just thought I would update.  I hope this finds all of you in good spirits.  Have a happy, healthy New Year! 

Well, I've hit the 170 mark - at least on my scale which is always about 5 less than the doctors.  170 was my doctor's goal for me...which means by my scale, I'm there, or 5 away with doc's scale.

I really want to loose 20 more as it would be great to say that I'm 150, but am not complaining.  I will continue to work on it and hopefully keep losing, albeit very slowly lately. 

I'd love to have PS, as i look like a sharpei dog - all hanging skin, but I look pretty good in clothes.  (Its taken me a long time to be able to say that.)  I feel so much better though...and can move! yeah!

Love to dance with my kiddies (grandkids and school students), sit on the floor and play games, take a spring walk (although its snowing now...yuk) and just live.  

This is the best decision I've made for my health and happiness. 

Well, Christmas is over and I've hit One-derland...for good. I actually lost weight over Christmas - although I know I ate too much sugar. Hate my brother's old fashioned fudge - I wish. I am feeling much better since the gall bladder surgery...although finding myself getting that dumping feeling more often - go figure. 2006 was a rotten year finacially and emotionally. But as far as health and friendships/family, I am truly blessed. I've gotten down over 100 pounds, am off of all but one of my medicines and even with gall bladder surgery, I am doing well. WLS has been tough, but worth it. NO REGRETS whatsoever. I am so thankful for this site. You are all wonderful people.

December 14  Had gall bladder surgery yesterday.  Didn't get into surgery until 6pm so I wasn't home until 11:30 last night.  They wanted me to stay overnight, but as there were three of us, they stayed open and we all got to go home.  The surgery went well and I feel pretty good today.  My weight officially is 205 on my hospital chart...down from initial weight of 308...I am officially a century club possibility now...got to figure out how to join and become a member.  I have found many, many sites that I am enjoying and want to thnk all of my friends.  It has been a wonderful experience - even with the gall bladder mess up.  Lots of Love to all.

Thanksgiving, 06:  Well its the weekend after Thanksgiving and I did not get sick, or gain weight.  YEAH!  I have been on a major stall these past two weeks.  I am down to 212.5, just .5 lbs away from 100 lbs less than my heaviest recorded weight.  I've met so many wonderful people on this board, and have visited so many interesting sites.  I am so thankful for the support and encouragement I receive from OH.  This is a difficult journey, but one I am so glad I am taking. I decided not to join the century club, even though I am close to my initial goal of losing 100 less than at my heaviest.  I think that I want to go by my surgery weight of 303 lbs.  So I've got a few more pounds to go.  I am hoping to be a century club card holder by the new year.  What a way to bring in 2007. 

November 6, 2006  Well, I stepped on the scale and I finally hit the 215 mark.  I am so excited and know that it is real now.  However, I still have trouble seeing me in the mirror and knowing it is me.  I want to be under 200 by Christmas.  That would be a wonderful Christmas gift to myself.  I need to get more active - more exercise!  It is so hard with the arthritis, but I can - and will- do it.

Sept 28, 2006  It's my birthday and I am bummed.  We have no money for anything, but still I am happy.  For the first time in a long time, I am on the road to success.  I know that things will be looking up.  Regardless, I am so much healtier and that makes a big difference.
