Well I am now officially one year post op and I am a completely different person than I was a year ago.  I am off all of my medication...no more high blood pressure or diabetes.  I am active....I go to the beach regularly, I swim, I walk, and I am also taking TaeKwonDo lessons.  I am down from 349 to 197 and I feel amazing.  I am soooo pleased.  I have a bit of loose skin but nothing to even worry about compared to how I was one year ago. 

Well I am hanging in there but I think I am at the end of what I will be losing from the gastric bypass and now it will be up to me.  Officially I am down 147 pounds which is fabulous.  I am now doing things I never thought I would ever be doing,  I am taking Tae Kwon Do classes!

Well I am feeling fabulous and looking pretty good too!  I am now down to 205---from my worst at 349!

I am now down 149 pounds.  I had my blood work done and everything is fine-right where it should be.  This has definitely been the best thing I have ever done.

Well here I am!  130 pounds lighter!  I can hardly believe this is really me!  I am soaring with self esteem and feel so wonderful.  I am really liking the way I look and feel.  That's something I haven't experienced for a long time.

Woo Hoo! I am now down 121 pounds!  Unbelievable!  I am feeling wonderful.  I have so much energy now.  I have gone through so many clothes--my church thrift shop is benefiting tremendously!  When people see me who haven't see me for awhile they aren't even sure it is me!

I am now down 115 pounds.  I am feeling terrific.  I can go up and down stairs easily, fit into restaurant booths...and on and on.  It is amazing.

So busy with the holidays that I didn't have time to post last week.  I am now down officially another 4 pounds-- inspite of the holidays!  I am more of a nibbler now.  I can't cram down food --- definitely makes me sick, but if I eat slow over a long period of time then I am fine. 

Well I had my 6 month check up and I am right on track, with no complications.  My blood work showed everything was right where it should be.  I am slightly low on iron so Dr. Webb has prescribed an iron supplement for me to start taking.  I feel wonderful and I have so much energy.  I am finally doing things I couldn't do before because of the weight! I am now down 108 pounds!

Well here I am 19 weeks out and I am now down 107 pounds!  I am feeling great.  I go to the doctor on Thursday to see how my blood work is.
