What Should I Weigh?

Aug 18, 2009

Well today I had to go to my Primary Care Physician and he told me that when I reached 150 lbs I needed to stop trying to loose weight.  So according to him I have only 19 lbs left to go.  Before I set any more goals I'm talking to the surgeon next Tuesday (08/25/09) when I go for my 3 month check up.  I really wanted to get to 138 but that may change.  I trust Dr. Mitchell's opinion more than anyone else's.  So I will let you know how it goes next week.

12 Week Post-Op Update & Pictures (Updated 08/15/09)

Aug 13, 2009

I am now 12 weeks post-op and  I have lost 44 lbs and have 31 left to loose.  I had to go shopping again and buy more pants.  In the beginning I was wearing a size 18 and now I am in a size 12!!  I am so much happier and I know I am healthier.  I can't help but to be proud of myself when I look at the pictures taken the day before my surgery and compare them to now.  I have my 3-month check up on August 25th and I can't hardly wait.  I am so thankful for my family, friends and co-workers who have supported me emotionally as in the beginning I was having a hard time.  I thank God for helping me everyday for helping me get through the surgery, complications I had and giving me the strenght to get to where I am.

10 Weeks after surgery and feeling GREAT!!!

Jul 29, 2009

Tomorrow will be 10 weeks since my Gastric By Pass Surgery.  I can't believe how far I have come.  Today I weighed and have lost 38 lbs, I now weigh 175 and my goal weight is 138 so I have 37 lbs left to loose.  I am half way there!!!  I feel the best I have in years.  I have more energy.  I am walking a mile and a half 3 to 4 times a week.  My self esteem has increased, before the surgery I had no self esteem.  I was ashamed of my self.  I have went from a tight size 18 pants to a loose 14 and from an X-Large top to a medium.  I am very proud of my accomplishment.  I have 37 lbs to loose and I am going to do it.  All the pain from the surgery has been well worth it.  I go for my 3 month check-up on 08/25/09 and I will update you then as to "My Journey"....
