OK, I shouldn't have wished that Starbucks made me sick because now it does.  I'm 7 weeks pregnant with twins and sick.  NO Starbucks (yuck), no candy, no ice cream.......NOTHING MAKES ME FEEL GOOD.  Ive lost 10 more pounds and my face looks too skinny.  I guess the lower I go at the beginning the better so I don't have that much to loose at the end.  I'm 5-8 147lbs and a size 8.

Its March and I'm 21 months out. Down 119lbs and from sz 24 to sz 8......Im still glad I did it.  As I am sitting here drinking my Starbucks Latte, eating girl scout cookies and sees candy, (I'm at work)  Still have to say that everyday is a new day.  Today I can eat this stuff but tomorrow I may not.  I ate cereal last week and did fine but yesterday I ate Special K and puked for hours.  Pasta is still not my friend but I dont miss it.  If only Starbucks would make me sick, I would be happy.

At this point I am able to eat almost anything I want.  No rice, pasta, ice cream, broccli, and mashed potatos but I dont miss them.  Everyday is a new day.  One day I can eat chocolate the next day I might puke for hours.  This past Monday, Jan 5th, I relized my sugar intake was high.  Starbucks Vente Sugar Free Vanilla Latte with a pastry and 400 calorie sandwich for breakfast every morning was not doing good for me.  That didnt include a 16oz 40g sugar frappe everyday sometimes twice a day and misc stuff I would pick up while working in the ER which included Sees candy and/or doughnuts.  Could this be the reason why I havnt lost any weight for the past 6 months?  Basically I worked myself up to be able to tolorate this high level of fat and sugar.  I work out at the gym 4 days a week so I figured It was ok.  SO.....Last Monday, Jan. 5th, a friend suggested that I go on a 5 day "restart your pouch" diet.  5daypouchtest.com.  It's for us people who feel like our "new pouch" dosnt work or feel like we have lost controll of the eating issues and gone back to our old habbits.   For the last 6 months I've stayed between 147 and 151. No I dont want to loose any more weight.  But last Monday I was 153lbs.  OMG I have lost control and have to stop it now.  Tuesday was a bitch going back on a sugar free liquid diet just like phase 1 after you have surgery.  Wednesday was ok but Thursday and Friday have been no problem.  I stayed doing the liquid for 3 days because I felt so good but I lost 12 lbs. not good.  Today, Friday, I weigh 141.  I feel great, no Starbucks pastry or frappe's wahoo!!!!! I feel full after a few bites of tuna or soup.  I feel like I did after starting solids after surgery.  Now food taists too sweet or salty and I have NO cravings!  If or when I should loose control again or maybe set a weight limit of 147 I will go back to my 5daypouchtest.

Got the girls lifted.  Dr Doezie in Ladera Ranch CA did an awsome job.   The recovery wasnt bad.  I went from a 42DDD @ 264lbs pre Bipass to 36C 145lbs 14mo post-op Bipass and purchased 36 D.  Now Im 16 months out and in a size 8-10 147lbs and very happy.  I have no hanging skin, still never been to the gym!

I know Im late but things are going well.  Im getting the girls lifted!!!!  I cant wait.  The insurance wont pay for it so $9000 and it will done.  Wahoo.  Im done loosing weight.  I went from 264lbs to 145lbs in 13 months.  Cant believe it.  I feel great, no regrets, no problems and the best thing I ever did for myself besides the boob job.  I would recommend this to everyone!!!!!

It's about time I start loosing weight again.  2 months of not loosing ANYTHING is annoying!  Start weight is 264lbs...now is 154 with 10lbs to go.  Friends said not to loose anymore or I will be too skinny.  No such thing!

9 Months Out!!!
I'm 9 months out and down to 158lbs (106 lost).  Weight is comming off so slow and if I gain 1lb I run to the senikot.  I got my labs done and they were fine.   Im feeling a little weak and tired but Its probably because Im not getting enough protein or drinking enough.  I notice I can eat all the bad foods that I used to but smaller amounts.  Thats not good.  When Aunt Flo is here or comming I crave all the bad stuff and give into the cravings.  I still dont go to the gym but when I get home from work I hit the bed and Im out.  The MD called and said all labs couldnt be better.  Protein is still a struggle to get in.  Liquids are hard to get in too but Im still working on it.

8 months out

I am 103lbs down, feel good and still havnt been to the gym.  I kept telling myself if and when I get down to 160lbs I would start and now I have 1lb to go then I have to do it.  Im dreading that 1lb and I hope it doesnt come off.  Im happy with my weight and could care less if I lost any more but I dont think I have a choice.  I eat what I want (within reason) and I went 1 month without loosing anything then all of the sudden Im down 3 lbs.  We will see.  Hopefully I wont have to work out until next month.

6.5 Months
Everything has been going well.  I eat almost anything I want within reason, no rice or pasta.  It depends on the day how much I can eat.  The Holidays were rough while working because we have lots of food to snack on.  But with the new year comming I will be working part-time and snacking a lot less.  Still havn't worked out.  I will be looking into a boob job, the girls have gone south.  Otherwise, I have no complaints.  Looking back it was a rough road but it was worth it.  Ask me that a few months ago I was kicking myself in the rear for doing it.  
I have gone from a size 24 264lbs to a size 12-14 168lbs.  Not bad!

6 months out
On Thanksgiving (tomorrow) I will be 6 months out.  I have lost a total of 83 lbs.  It's been rough but looking back it was worth it.  Everyday is a new day and I am enjoying buying new clothes.  My 13yo daughter was pissed off that I went to her favorite clothing store (Tilly's) and bought a cute shirt and jacket.  A lady that I work with said Im getting too boney.  I dont think so.  My BMI is still in the overweight section.  You cant be boney and obese!  Yeah my clavical sticks out but there is no more meat there.  Im still hoping that I will reach my goal of 100lbs lost by New Years but that is 17lbs in 5 weeks.  I dont think its going to happen.
