Wow, it has been along time since I updated this thing. I have moved with my family to San Diego and LOVE IT! I just got a job working for Scripps too in surgery. I have manage to gain about 20 lbs in the last year which I really, really hate! I know I am snacking ALOT more so it is my fault.  I am getting a Bowflex next month and with going back to work it will help me to stop snacking so much since I will be busy.  I plan on having a tummy tuck and lipo next year, as I will probably have to pay for it all myself. My iron is back up and all it took was just iron tablets. My hair has began to fall out like I ave never seen before! It is alful! All my labs are fine, i guess I am just not getting in enough protein so I ordered the protein shot drinks and as soon as they get here I will try them and if I like them I guess I will start using them, but they cost sooooo much! My husband, son and I are going to do the walk across the Corondao Bay Bridge in May. It is 4 miles lone. We get cute free t-shirts and a ticket to the Padres game on the 25th too.  Well, life is calling so I am going. When something important happens I will update.

Well, I am anemic and I have started taking iron supplements on my own. My PCP said to just wait until I get to CA and see a doctor there about my anemia but I don't know when exactly I will be there. Hubby is transferring and as soon as housing is ready for me and my son we will go there. I am tired alot and no matter how much I go to the tanning bed I cannot get very dark.  I can't wait to get to CA and start looking for a plastic surgeon to do my tummy tuck. I may just go to TJ for it. I have been battling head hunger so bad lately and a new prescribtion that I was put on caused to to start gaining so we stopped that and I am s-l-o-w-l-y losing that weight. I am so nervous about moving. Either I want to eat all the time of I feel sick and can't eat at all.  There is so much drama in my whole family right now that some days I feel like I am going to lose my samity and before surgery I would have just went on a binge with every kind of food I could get my hands on but I have some so far and I am still lerning how to deal with problems instead of just trying to stuff them down deep with food, but I am making progress. Wish me luck. I don't update too much on here, nothing new with weight loss or anything and until I get ready for my tummy tuck I am just trying to lose about 15 lbs.

My weight is holding steady at 128 lbs. I am still wearing a size 3 but I can feel every extra puond on my frame! The weather will hopefully get nicer soon so I can be outside and doing my walking and bike riding. Last week I was dianosed with RA. I cried in the docotr's office. I have been having back pain since November and they finally figures out part of the problem. I go tomorrow for my MRI results. Honestly, you don't realize how WLS effects what medications you can take until you really need them. Alot of RA meds are NSAIDS and of course we cannot take those. So my doc is working with everyone to try and find medications that I can take to help me. I want to get this under control because I HOPE to have a tummy tuck the end of this year or the beginning of next year. I am so looking forward to moving to California were it is always warmer than it is here! Well, that is all for now. I will update again when there is something to update about!

Wow, it has been at least a month already. I have been trying hard to lose the weight I seem to put on after my surgeries and this winter season. I got all the way up to 130 lbs but in the last 2 weeks I have lost 4 lbs and I am happy about that. It is slow going but as long as I am losing. I always have head hungry and I battle it everyday! It doesn't help that I have hurt my back and I can't do a lot. I go to physical therapy twice a week now and it is not helping, they are going to schedule an MRI and do either an epidural pain injection or surgery!  So I am not too happy about that. But I am very happy about my BL/BA that I had last December! The girls look great! We are hoping that once we move to San Diego later this year that I will get approve for a tummy tuck there, I have my fingers crossed for it, but if they don't approve me then I will just have to save up and pay for it myself. I also want to eventually get butt implants too, I have NO butt. This November I will be 4 years out from WLS. Time has just flown by! I have been so busy. Well, there isn't much else to update on. I will keep trying to lose the weight I gained and get to at least 115 lbs by July of this year, if anything new happens I will update.

I am recovering very well from my BL/BA from Decmeber and from an endometrieal ablation in Jan. 2007. The bad part is that I had both surgeries in the winter and had to take it easy for several weeks and it is STILL winter here so I cannot get out and enjoy the outdoors so I have went from 118 lbs to 128 lbs. I am so misreable but the weight. My goal is to get back to 112 lbs before we move to Coronado, CA in September. I have also been having ALOT of back pain and now I have to start seeing a physical therapist for the next 6 weeks and then if the pain isn't better I am scheduled for an MRI and then on to a pain management specialist. I can really feel the weight gain even before I stepped on the scale. My clothes don't fit the way I like and I feel heavier. But I am trying to lose just one pound a week so that I don't try to push myslef and feel like I have failed if I don't get all the weight off in a hurry. My appeptite is back too. I am more aware that I always seem to have the munchies and I am fighting it and doing pretty well now that I realized what is going on. It is so depressing not to be able to go outside and go for a walk or bike ride or a swim. I am looking forward to moving because once we are settled I am going to start looking for a good plastic surgeon to do butt implants and a tummy tuck. I will not have them done at the same time, they will be spaced out at least 6 months apart but the point is I will have them done! Other than that nothing is happening with me very much. It is too ugly and cold to really get out and do anything and work is always busy but working in Maternity is job security, babies are always being born :-) Well, I guess that is everything for now. I wil update in another month or so and let you know how the weight loss is going.

I am almost 3 weeks out from my BL/BA. I am doing pretty well. i actually went back to work one week following my surgery. i wouldn't advise that to anyone else. I was not ready to be back in surgery but I did it and everyday it gets a little easier. Everyday I look in the mirror and I swear the "girls" move! One day they seem the same then the next day one is larger then the other or higher and so on and so on. But I am happy. I am now having an endometrial ablation on Jan. 5th, 2007, so no more monthly cycles, I am actually becoming anemiic due to such heavy and often cycles. I am looking into buutock implants and just a llittle lipo on the saddle bags for this time next year. I went into surgery weighing 118 lbs and came out weighing 125 lbs. I am now down to 121 but I am shooting for 115 lbs. I will get there I just have to get all this stuff taken care of first. Well, I wish every one a Happy New Year and when I have more I will update again.
