One Year and 5 1/2 Months Since Gastric By-Pass

Oct 19, 2010

I haven't posted anything in a while so I thought I would let my friends know how I am doing. Tomorrow will be one year and five months since my Gastric By-Pass surgery.  I now look back and ask myself why didn't I do it sooner. I have done well in maintaining my goal weight. I eat like I should and exercise. My Bariatric Surgeon did not give me a "quick fix" but a tool to help me loose weight and I thank Dr. Mitchell for this tool because I could never had done it on my own. I weigh every day and record it on a calendar. If I start going up a couple of pounds I know what to do. Next month I have my 1 1/2 year check-up, which I am looking forward to. I will let you know how it goes next month.

Almost at My One Year Anniversary and Have Went Beyond My Goal

May 08, 2010

Today is May 9th, in 12 days I will be at my one year anniversary on May 21!!   When my journey began I weight 213 lbs and my BMI was 36.6. I now weight 122.6 and my BMI is 20.9.  I am now healthy. People ask me would I do it again "YES".  I feel so much better and have so much more confidence in myself. I thank God and Dr. Mitchell every day for helping me. I will post some new pictures soon.

I have not been able to get on the web-site lately.  My husband was in an accident on 11/22/09 and has undergone 2 surgeries (one neck and spinal decompression and he had a tumor on his pituitary gland).  The past 5 1/2 months have really been tuff.

I hope everyone is doing well on their weight loss journey. I will keep you posted as to my one year check-up on May 19th.

6 Month Check-up

Nov 26, 2009

Had my 6 month check-up on 11/11/09.  The surgeon said that they had no more goals for me.  I have exceeded their expected weight loss. My lab work revealed that I was anemic and needed more nutrition. I feel wonderful and I am so happy. I have 1 lb. left to loose and I will have met my goal of loosing 75 lbs. I have went from 213 to 139 and have went from a size 18 to a 4.

The surgeon gave me the tool I needed to loose the weight and I have used that tool.

4 Months & 2 Weeks - Have Reached Surgeons Goal Weight

Oct 10, 2009

 I am now at my surgeon's goal weight 150 lbs. I have lost a total of 63 lbs in 4 months and 2 weeks.  I have had to switch from 2% milk to soy milk due to nausea. I had a stomach virus three weeks ago and when I got over it I noticed that every time I drank my protein shake I got nauseated so I checked with the dietician and she suggested soy milk and I tried it and did not get nauseated.  Only 12 lbs left to go until I reach my goal weight of 138.

Had My 3 Month Check-up Today (08/25/09)

Aug 25, 2009

Well I had my 3 month check-up today and it went great!!!  I have lost a total of 48 lbs and have exceeded what the doctor expected since I did not have a 100 lbs or more to loose.  I go back in November for my 6 month check-up and they only want me to loose 12 lbs between now and then.  My goal weight is 138 and they are thinking that at my 6 month check-up I will be at a healthy weight of 153 but I want to weigh 138 so I intend to stick to it and get to my goal.  So I have 27 lbs left to go.

I seen the dietician and she changed some things and added some foods in thank goodness.

I feel wonderful knowing that I have been doing exactly what I was suppose to.  Now I can't wait until November!!!

Thank you all for all the sweet comments.  I really appreciate them.  I wish each of you the best of luck in "Your Journey".  I will keep you posted as to my weight loss and will post some updated pictures soon.
