Jul 05, 2008
I can NOT believe its been 18 months..... WOW!!
Why didn't I do this sooner? This is the ONLY question I ever ask myself!
Check out my new pics... we went to KC for a weekend trip.. Yes I wore a swimsuit! 
I've been feeling really good... wearing a size 8 shorts or medium.... then I wear a size M shirts.
I weigh in between 140-145lbs... usually never over that.
I still weigh everyday. I still watch what I eat.. some things still don't agree with me, but for the most part, I eat what I want.
I still watch my sugar intake.. to much makes me feel blah.
I still work out about 3-5 days a week.
I don't dump anymore really... NEVER throw up!
I did have my second hernia surgery... last thursday..
Still loving my RNY!!!
Keep dancing everyone!!
FEELING GOOD !!!! FEELING HEALTHY!!!! FEELING LIKE MYSELF AGA
Feb 18, 2008
I say feeling like myself again cause I feel like my body has caught up with my mind!!!
I hit my personal goal of 145lbs and actually dipped down below it at 143lbs. I juggle 3-5lbs and that's fine with me.
Im currently wearing a size 8-10 jeans... size M shirt. This is a far cry from wearing a size 24 jeans and size 3x shirt.
I dont need a tummy tuck..... I don't care what anyone says 100 crunches a day since surgery has helped!!!
No I'm not tight, but I dont need a tummy tuck!
After my speed bumps I feel GREAT! Healthy!
I have to go shopping for spring and summer stuff cause I have NOTHING to wear!! So I get a whole NEW wardrobe!!! YAHOO!
Ive lost a total of 107 inches!!! AND a total of 149lbs!!!
I acutally thought I would NEVER make it!!!!
Now Im doing the happy dance!!!
Once AGAIN!!!
Jan 29, 2008
I had pain once again...Went to ER... almost the same story as before... had a Exp. Lap done and they found a internal hernia!
I'm in the process of recovering. Its been a slow recovery cause of swellowing from so much manipulation around my pouch area. But I feel like Im going up hill. Hopefully had surgery for the LAST time!
I got the biggest compliment while I was in the hospital when the nurse that didnt know me was taken care of me and said that she couldnt believe I was a gastric bypass patient cause I didnt look like I need a tummy tuck done!! WOW!!
You might want to ask... Yes I would do it all over again!!!
Im 1lb from my goal of 145lbs... I made it here Im sure cause Ive been ill, but needless to say I made it!!! My real goal was my jean size and I already made that!
Hope this fines everyone living life to the fullest!!! Be happy!!!

Nov 23, 2007
I've lost all my water weight plus 2 more lbs. Which feels good.
My Thanksgiving rule was 3 bites of everything and that's it. I did good!
Weight was the same this AM.
AFTER THIS I WOULD STILL DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!
Nov 18, 2007
Here's the deal...
Last friday Nov. 9th... I woke up with severe back ache and feeling bloated. Went to the doctor they thought I had kidney infection, actually wanted to put me in the hospital and I said Nah.. I'll just go home and rest.
Saturday morning at 130am I was in the emergency room with EXTREME pain... Never ever experience this before.. I couldnt get confortable, my respirs were fast, felt like my stomach and back was going to explode. They did a CT scan, gave me lots of pain meds... and get this... SENT ME HOME! On pain medicine, but she thought maybe I had kidney stones that were needed to be passed.. DUMB ER DOCTOR! I think I interrupted her nap!
SO... I tuffed it out all weekend, moaning and groaning laying on the couch... wasnt going to go back to ER cause I knew the same ER doctor was there. Monday morning went back to my doctor... He admitted me.
Monday... they did another CT scan, ultrasound, exrays.... Found a Stone in my Common Bile duct!! I'm thinking... UMMM I dont have a gallbladder????
Well it was 13mm big and ready to obstuct my bile duct so it had to come out. I wasnt able to have a ERCP due to having a RNY (which no one tells you that) So I had to be open surgery. Wednesday morning at 10am I had surgery.
Got home this morning... still in ALOT of discomfort.. Worse surgery Ive ever had and this was my 9th!! (Ive had 3 c-sections, gallbladder surgery 1994 I might add, then I had a bile leak from that had another one, then I had lap arp and I had endometriosis and then I had to have a total hysterectomy, then I had my RNY and now this!!)
So how does a person get a common bile duct stone... I asked if this was a complication of RNY, he said NO, not really. BUT...........A person that has lost ALOT of weight fast can get them... most people dont even know they have them, they have like bad gas pains and they pass, mine for some reason wanted to stay in me and form one big one!!
So there's my story girls... I cant sit no longer... I need to get back to my heating pad and pain pills...
Thanks everyone for your concern... I pray no one else deals with this.
Oh I forgot this... When I weighed friday morning I weighed 166lbs... When I left the hospital I weighed a WHOPPING 184lbs... Today 181lbs... WOW!!! YUCKY!!!!
