I was a "healthier" heavy person but hated myself...after my gastric bypass, i have suffered from a lot of health issues.  I hope i can help just ONE person from this message.  Because i found a solution for myself.  After I went from 240's to 125 at my lowest and now at 144. I have been passing out and disconnected from feeling "normal" .  I almost got into several car accidents cuz my sugar would drop so low.  After several calls to the doctors office explaining what i was going through the nurse yelled at me and told me to stop eating sugar.  Outraged at how I was treated ( btw....i wasnt eating sugar i watch every label never more then 10g )  i stop going to my follow up appointments.  I started seeing my primary doctor. I found out I am hypo-glucmic(sp?), severly anemic where i almost had to have a blood  transfusion and ended up in the ER on December 22, 2010.  I have been diagnosed with vasovagal low blood pressure which it drops fast and make me faint.  I have felt scared and frustrated.  For years now i havent been able to keep up with myself and i ALWAYS run out of energy.  I am telling my story in hopes i help you if your in this situation.  I found a solution and i finally feel alive again.
It a nutriutional shake you take as a meal replacement.  Since, I started this less then two weeks ago....I FEEL ALIVE AGAIN.  I have energy and feel like I can do anything i want and not run out of steam.  I would be happy to tell you about it IF you would like. I am not telling you this to push a product on you to try BUT if you feel 25% as good and energenic as I do ....You Win ! I think specially for people that have had a surgery like mine RNY....liquid supplement is the way to go.

My DH & I went to Meijer's and we went down an aisle that had full length mirrors, we have never own one.  Anyways, I did a triple take at myself.  I could not believe that was me.  I looked tiny.  I've NEVER... EVER thought that before about myself.  My husband said stop checking yourself out.  I kept saying do I really look like that or is something wrong with that mirror.

It's offically a 3 digit weightloss.  I am 142 today.

I am 145 now and very active now.  Size 6 or small shirts and size 8 pants. :)  I am very happy I decided to do this.   I do have some problems with my sugar going too slow.  It feels like I want to faint.  Some Family members tell me not to lose anymore..I wish I was that easy being 5'6".  145 is okay, but anymore weight loss is going to look too little.  I need to find some pics to post.  Let me know how your doing.  I miss you guys..

I forgot my password and it took me forever to get it.  I am so not a computer person, I hate that it changed !!  I only have my weight journal recorded on this site so I was freaking out a bit.  
All is well I went on my cruise the beginning of April.  It was beautiful !!!  Loved it.  I gained 5 lbs and I was eating very healthy !!  I took me about 8 days to lose it and addidtional 3.  So I am down to 167.  I can fit 12 pants and medium shirts.  What I want to know is where did my boobs go ????

We leave to go on our cruise next Saturday March 29th..Their are 27 of us going and I know we are going to have a riot.  The other day I heard someone say it's the journey not the destination.  Love that !!!!   Today I am 174.  My goal is 152 so 22 lbs to go !!!

I can't wait to say I am in the 160's

I weighed in today at 179.  :)  Getting there.  Our cruise is in a month and I've been working out and tanning 5 days a week, and I feel wonderful. !!!!!!!! 

Hit 189 today.  Hurray.  I was on a plateau for a couple weeks and had my dr appt he said go back to the basic.  I said I still eat the basic foods and he said no the liquid diet....You'll be amazed on how much you'll lose.  So starting today, I am going to do it.  wear 16 now and they are starting to get loose.  14's here I come...

I wonder where I'd be without this surgery...still feeling uncomfortable to go to the beach and be seen at the mall.  Now I feel like the old me.  I feel so good and I am so full of energy lately.  I have to say this truely has been a re-birth for me and I am so soo happy I did this for myself.  It wasn't easy... especially in the beginning believe me I thought I was going to die from the pain and I did regret it but NOW forget it.  I love I did this for myself and I need to make sure I say thanks to my surgeon next week when I meet with him again, I dont think I did at my 2 week check-up.  My 18's are falling off and 16 here I come.  I was thinking today I don't know what I will look like after I get under 175 I have been that low since middle school.  My goal is 142 and I am 5'6"  it might be too small for me but I made the goal because I want to lose 100 lbs.  However when I get closer I will evaluate it again.

Take Care !!!  Heather
