Hard to believe its been 5 yeArs. I have had many challenges. I've lost 200 pounds and struggle to keep it off cuz now I can eat more. I do have a lot of pouch issues but I would def do it again. It has been a very long road. Very worth it. But it is a tool not a cure. I weighed 400 pounds now I fluctuate from 178-188 I will try to post pics. If your considering this surgery and have any questions feel free to ask me. I rember how scared I was. I have a lot of skin can't afford to have it removed I hate that part but otherwise I'm very happy with my outcome. I would love to lose 40 more pounds I have tried hard it just isn't coming off but I should exercise more.  This surgery allowed me to walk again I'm now a registered nurse. My kids are almost grown and I have grandbabies to enjoy. God bless you all through your journey if I can help in any way please let me no

hi everyone . Well i had a nice helicopter ride to the hospital where i had surgery from my local hospital on monday. It seems they thought i had a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in lung) but thank god i did not . but they dont no why i have been having such bad tummy pain. Anywayu i am home thank the lord. my weight today is 229 well according to my scales. it has been a month in a half since i last blogged and my weight was 238 that 9 pounds was so hard to lose especially with the holidays here. everyone i salways trying to feed me. Weight loss is definatly slowing i just hope it dont stop. i take finals monday for nursing and i have a month break of school i am definatly gonna try to get in more exercise time. Well i hope everyone has a great christmas and dont eat to much LOL.

Well i better get back to work. no rest for the weary. take care all. god bless!

i am sorry i have not posted in a while but right now im in nursing school and all i do is school work and more school. hopefully i will have some new pics posted soon. everytime i get on the computer it is school related so i never have time to breath it seems like. the down side to that is i havent lost any more weight since my last update but i have went down to a size 18 which is pretty good since i started at a 32. i am still weighing in at 260. it sucks because i havent been exercizing and eating right cause im always on the go. and it seems like i am hungry all the time. i just need to choose smarter foods. i still stay away from most sugar but the carbs like pasta and bread weigh me down. i have set a smaller goal to lose 15 punds by sept 18 cause that is my 6 month anniversary and that would put me at a total of 100 pound weight loss. WOW i cannot beleive it has been almost 6 months that is just crazy how time flys after but seems to drag before. Well wish me luck i am cutting out those carbs and i have enrolled in a circuit fitness course at the college for a grade so i have to go maybe that will motivate me .
Wish me luck
God bless Everyone

Hello everyone. i am sorry it has been so long since i posted. i am very busy with school and work. i am doing well i have so much more energy. a really funny thing happened the other day. I was with my dad and he does not walk well and we were at a ball game and we were parked a long long way away from the car. my dad asked my lil brother to go get the car for him and me and i said no ill go get the car . 3months ago i could barely walk across the room let alone volenteer to go get the car. i no longer look for the closest parking spot i walk thru walmart with no electric cart i have so much more energy . i am starting to get my life back. i have lost 65 pounds i was hoping it would be more but i am happy with this for now. i no the rest will be off soon enough. All of my sickness has gone away i never throw up anymore i feel great. i hope to post some pictures soon. thankyou to everyone you all have been my greatest support
god bless yall
