Been a great Journey for me

Jan 13, 2014

It has been 5 years now since my life took on a new Journey, and it has been fantastic. I have lost a total of 195 lbs... since 3 months before my surgery, and 147 since surgery...

I weighed 350 lbs, and 3 months before surgery, I went on a liquid diet and lost 45 lbs, and weighed 305 the day of my surgery.... If I had not of had RNY... the 45 lbs I lost would have come back with probably 20lbs to go with it....

I have never had any complications since my surgery, except for frothing, or dumping....  which I still welcome to this day.... It reminds me to make sure my food is chewed up nicely.... (my teeth have started falling out).... and if I dump... most times is from milk.... Oh how I love milk, but Oh, how it hates me....

Anyway, I will try to stay active on here and post more pictures....

Well, I weighed yesterday morning and weighed 199 lbs. I finally got to see what it looked like on the scales to be below 200. yeehaw....finally.
I have lost 110lbs since Aug. 2008 and have lost 96 pounds since Sept. 25th 2008...day of my surgery.  I have not lost the 100lbs I thought I would have by now, but with my weight slowing down, it has given all that SKIN time to adjust and shrink some...lol...
This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I even wore a dress this past tuesday. And felt real good in it.
I still have bout 54lbs to lose to reach my goal....
wonder if I will reach it, or does it stop before I get there.
Oh well, I am HAPPY......

Thank you everyone, for all the help you have given me. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days. And I owe it to ya'll for helping me in my time of need. PROTEIN is a way of life for all of us, and if we get into trouble as to where we can't get our protein, PLEASE ask us for help on here.
I have made some wonderful friends on here, and I would like to THANK each and everyone of you... and also to everyone who sent me encouragement and told me they were keeping me in their prayers.
GOD has blessed me with all of ya'll and he will BLESS ya'll to.
I love all of ya'll and will continue to ask GOD  to bless each one of us as we become new people on the outside, as well on the inside. 
                                                                  Thank you again.....
                                                                   Hugs forever....

Hello all,
   Well weighed in this morning and weighed in 219... I am suppose to be at 195 by the 25Th of this month, but don't guess I will make it.... Not sure why I have this problem, but I am happy for what I have lost...
I have so many Plato's, but it could be because I don't get in enough protein, and have not gotten in enough exercise....
The weather is getting better, so I will be walking a lot more, also, I am fixing to be a new GRANDMOTHER, and my daughter and I will be walking up a storm....lol
Everyone please PRAY, that this baby will be OK. We lost their first baby Oct. 06, so I have asked GOD to bless them with this baby, and let it be healthy.
Everyone have a very blessed nite.

Well, in the last month, i have just lost 4lbs. Talked to my Dr. and guess it is because I have not been getting in enough protien. I try very hard to get it in. I have not had the money to buy the protein drink in the last 2 months, and will get it on March 15th. Hopefully my weight will start coming off again.  At least I got my vitamins yesterday. I should start having some energy again real soon I hope.
Important lesson I have learned......stock up in March with vitamins and hopefully extra protein drink....
I know I sure as heck do not want to get sick...also my bones hurt so bad....not sure why, and the Dr. said I should not hurt like I do....
So far all test are good, except protein level, and vitamin level. It shows no reason for me to hurt tho...Lol....
maybe it is old age.....lol
Anyway, things will get better, and hopefully I will get back to losing the weight. I sure hope so.
Hugs to All

Hello Again,
     Well today, I woke up and weighed 229.5 lbs.  I was stuck around 235 to 237 for awhile now.
This morning, I was surprised, but can't wait until I am 199lbs. This is gonna be such a joy, and will do a dancing jig of happiness to be under 200lbs.

Hello,
   Went to Dr. Freeman Wed. the 22nd. I got a real good report from him. I surely thought my protein level would have been down, but it was real good.
The reason I have so much tiredness is because I don't drink enouh fluids.  Of course, this did not surprise me, as for it is real hard for me to drink 60 ounces much less 100oz. But I am trying really hard.
I have now lost 28 lbs, so that is not to bad. Almost 1lb. a day.
As for eatting, well, still can eat chili with cheese, and refried beans with chili. Most foods I try does not settle well.  I can eat some nuts, and have no problem.

Anyway, I feel better, even tho I'm tired, but it is better than it was. No more medicines, except for vitimins. Have a hard time getting down the calcium pills cause they are so big, but other than that, all is good.
Will post more as I lose.
                                                         God Bless All
