I finally updated my photos........I hope yall can track them ans the date on my camera was incorrect and I did not realize it until days later.  I plan on taking some more pics on my surgiversary, Aug 11.  I have an appt with Dr Garth on that day.

I had the opportunity to meet Dr Robert today......what a joy.  Very pleasant man, he came by to see my hubby in the hospital today, as Dr Garth had the weekend off (how nice).......anyway Dr Robert came into the room singing.

As for hubbies RNY........never a dull moment was not as easy for him as it was for me.  He had renal failure for about 30 hours......thank God it was not permanent.  He also had low H&H...man what a few days.

I lost another 6lbs while at UGH with him.....now at 192. The skin sag is strting to bother me, but I do notice that it changes almost daily.....thats odd.  I have a turkey neck, an apron, serious crows feet frown lines and smile creases...LOL
BUT it beats the hell out of 271lbs any day.

I s/w dancingirl83 today........she sounds great after surgery. 

Hope all is well

Today Dr Garth did my husbands RNY.  So far all is well, I asked Dr Garth about the hernia and liver, he said nothing to worry about.......

Today by my scale I weigh 198 lbs....thats a loss of 70-80lbs in 4.5 months.  Sometimes I wonder if I should have ever done this, that said I do not regret my decision............please don't miss understand.......it is about that fear of the unknown future.  I tell people that I had RNY and they give me "that look".  Then I feel as I need to justify my decision by saying I weighed the risk of obesity versus the long term possible effects of the surgery (vit deficency etc) and the scale of pros and cons leanded to the surgery.

Why do I feel a need to explain to strangers by business and why I chose it, better yet why do I tell people?

Today I met DANCINLADY83 a pt that I have spoke with on here.........she is a pt of Dr Roberts, she had surgery today.  Her and her husband are very nice, I pray that things continue to go well for her.

Today I sit here in a pair on size 12 capris that fit.........well.  I never imagined it possible.  My wedding dress 18 years ago was a 12........it was the last time I ever saw a 12.

It has been awhile since my last post. What a difference 4 months makes. I am down 67lbs.......wow. Still have a ways to go but getting there.

I think I am well on my way to ajusting to my new way of life.

Hubby will have surgery on 7/30/08, that should help me even more. We will be able to do this together.

I was at Dr. Garth's office yesterday with my husband and I had a chance to weigh on the official scale.......drum roll please.....219lbs.  That is a 52 lbs loss........yeepe

Also while I was there I chated with TanyaRN.......it was awesome to see her.  What an inspiration.

I went for my f/u yesterday and my weight is at 227 lbs........thats a 44 lbs loss.  Today I had my labs drawn for him, I can't wait to see how they are.

As difficult as it is I am still at the gym 5-7 days a week.......trying to love it, oh well.  Weight loss of about 41 lbs.  I see Dr. Garth this week.

I weighed with my trainer today and my weight was 236 lbs.  That is down 3 lbs in 6 days. 

Very discouraging since I am wroking my a** off and many people do this and loose lots more weight and not even try. HUH!!!

WOW, I went to the gym 4 days last week and have already went 2 times this week and its only 7:30a Monday morning.  I went Sunday and at 5a today.  Feels great.  What a hurdle I have overcome there.  Hopefully I can keep it up.

OK...........I joined the gym on monday and I have worked out 4 days this week.  I am actually enjoying my cardio, not so sure about the strenght traing yet.
