I am a new post-op patient and am so far very happy with my decision to have gastric bypass surgery. I already feel 100% healthier. I have lost a total of 50 lbs pre-op and post-op. I can't believe the changes in my life. I exercise every day willingly and enjoy it. I am happier with myself and have a lot more energy. I am so glad to have been given a second chance at life.
6/24/06 I am now two months post-op and walk 1 mile and bike 2 miles every night without getting tired or short of breath. I could have never done this before. I now weigh 254 lbs. A total loss of 59 lbs. I am very pleased with my loss, but can't wait to get into some of my smaller clothes. I can't ask for anymore though.
7/24/06 I am now down to 244 lbs and have lost a total of 68 lbs. I am staying very active and following the rules. I love my new life and look forward to the future as a healthy person.
8/24/06 I am 4 months out today and feel so wonderful!! I am down 80 lbs and continue to lose a lot more, if I can help it. I work out daily and am seeing the results and it helps motivate me. I have gone from a size 28/30 top to a 18/20 and about a 26/28 pants to a size 17/18. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! The only thing I would complain about is my hair loss, but it is a small price to pay. I am seeing a drastic decrease in my PCOS problems and have had two regular periods and have ovulated twice for the first time in my life. I was also taken off of my blood pressure pills on August 10th and am doing well. Life is great!
9/12/06 I have finally broken the 230 mark and now am at 227 lbs. I cannot wait to be under 200, but I am not being impatient. I just kick my butt into gear and work as hard as I can to get there. I can now fit into my brand new size 16 capris from New York and Company. It is pretty exciting, since I last wore that size in high school after losing 50 lbs from doing weight watchers.
Everyday is a journey and so far I am enjoying it. I did experience being dehydrated from over working at my cousin's wedding and boy I don't want to experience that again. Peace out!!

Today is my 5 month surgiversary. I am so thrilled with life now that I can move, breath and just feel comfortable in my skin. I bought a size 14 jeans and am so close to fitting, but not quite yet. I am now down 89 lbs and can't wait to hit that 100 lb mark. I will try to do a cartwheel at that point.-HA HA!

Today I hit 218 lbs and now have lost 95 lbs, but still can't wait to reach that 100 lb goal. My clothes that were just starting to fit are already falling off of me. I am really starting to enjoy working out and don't find it to be a job.
I will be back to update when I hit that 100 LB LOSS!
