today is my two month anniversery after my surgery and I've lost 40 bs from surgery and 50 before surgery total 90 lbs I can't believe how great I feel. On theth we had a block party and one of the guys I've known for 5 years didn't know who I was at first then when he figured it out he came over to me and told me how great I looked, what a great feeling that was! I hope everyone had a happy 4th I know I did.

I'm 6 weeks post op and I'm at a stand still with my wieght loss, I'm not sure why but today I'm drinking protian drinks and a lot of water maybe that will help.

I'm back from visiting my family and friends in Klamath Falls Oregon. I took the train for the first time and it was nice not to drive all the way there, I meet a lot of great people on the train. It was a great experience. While in K.Falls I was worried about gaining weight but I lost 4 lbs. on vacation which usually I gain weight. Everyone said how good I looked, what a great feeling! I'm feeling a lot better after my surgery but every once in a while I eat something the hurts so bad  I want to get sick just to get over the pain of the food I've eaten. Anyone else have this problem?

So I had my surgery on May 7 and is going great I'm feeling way better then I thought I would . Everyone is so right trying to figurge the food thing out after surgery is a real trick. I went down and got 2 oz. to go cups with lids and have split averything I can eat up so I don't make myself sick. so If you were to look in my frig right now you would see all these little cups of jelloSF, yogurt, refried beans, ect it's crazy but getting sick is not good and it hurts. I've also excperianced the "dumping" totally  never want to do that again! I've lost 14 lbs. in this one week CRAZY!

So today I weighed myself and I''ve lost 6 more lbs. I'm supose to lose as much weight as I can before surgery, so my Dr. wants me to eat no more then 1000 cal per day and I've been doing pretty good so far a lot of protian drinks,but I like them so thats ok. I'm really not doing differant then I've been doing already a little less calories per day. Today I need to start packing up stuff for my move. My surgery is May 7 and I planning on moving this summer so I need to do a lot of packing before surgery. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do after surgery. I know for the first two weeks I can't do much of anything so I'm trying to figure out what to give away and what to keep then pack it up. That way I wont have to worry so much after surgery. So I better go and start packing.

I went to my pre op appointment Monday march 29. My surgery is all a go. May 7 Ive got so many differant feelings about this. First I'm happy I'm having this surgery but then I'm scared of the surgery and all that could go wrong but I guess I need to put this in the surgeons hand and Gods hands and pray, all will go good and do my part to make this surgery turn out to be a great success, like so many of you on this sit. Everytime I get scared I just look at the before and after pictures of everyone else and know that in a year or so I'l be there too. I'm just looking forward to new journey my life is taking. I feel like a caterpiller now waiting for the butterfly inside to come out. I cant wait to see how beautiful this new me will be. And to think how much healthyer I'll feel and the energy I'll get from the wait lose.

So I got okeyed from the insurance comp. and Leanne called to give me my surgery dat which is May 7 2010. So I start my new journey to a healthy new me. After looking at all the before and after pic. of everyone I'm so hopeful that I to can be a great sucess like everyone else.
