Hi all,, Sorry I have been out for a while, but I have an update. I have lost another 5lbs. I'm down to 185lbs. I been stuck for the last 2 months in the same weight, but I blame myself on that one. I got too comfortable and was not eating the right things. I got all encouraged again and been doing what Im supposed to do and the scale started to move again. I Hope I continue in this path, exercising and watching what I eat. I have been really lucky that I have not gotten sick. So far everything has been great for me. I thank God for that because I know some people that it hasnt. I will keep you all posted on this one!

I have the equipment at home...but dont use it yet...lazy me...I do a lot of walking...that I do..but I need tone up......I went to a water park with weekend and it felt so good to feel like a normal person riding these rides...instead like a whale before.....just kidding but It felt good!!!

almost 3 months out of surgery
Feb 27, 2008
wow..why I did not have this surgery earlier..I was lazy I guess, but I feel great, and very happy I had this procedure done. No side effects so far so Im counting my blessings. I thank God everyday for the opportunity given. I have lost more than 80lbs.. from size 26 pants and tight sometimes, Im wearing 16-18 and from tops 28 im wearing 18-20. my skin is not sagging as bad as I thought it would. I have to push myself to exercise more. I do walk a lot but I have to start doing some weights to start toning up. I have lots of patience so im not going to worry right now. I hope everybody else that goes thru this procedure is lucky and happy as Im....

I feel great. I think my weight loss has slow down at bit, Trying to figure out why but Im down to 250 and I was 311 so I dont feel bad but it seems that It slow down at bit. I try to walk 5 days a week and watch what I eat. I know I have to drink more water and have more protein. This week I will push myself to do it and hopefully succeed at it. But this journey has been easier than I thought. I thank God for the opportunity of me having this surgery and loosing this weight.
1 month anniversay

Its been one month and its going well..Im getting my G-tube out tomorrow.. I feel pretty good. So far I have lost a total of 60 lbs. I'm eating solid foods and so far so good. No regrets about the surgery and I feel pretty healthy. I wish I would have done this surgery 5 years ago..but I think now they have more knowledge of it. I have to stay positive and I know I will succeed.
