What a difference a year makes!!
Oct 02, 2007
Well it's been almost a year since I updated this thing so here goes....a million things have changed in my life. I am so busy now living again! I am down to 152, a normal bmi, all my blood work is normal and I am so much healthier. My sleep apnea is gone and my cor pulmonale is under control for the most part. I have been so active in my community that the days just fly by. I am now President of my American Legion Auxiliary plus I am also Secretary for the County Auxiliary. I am busy doing something most days. Sometimes spending hours doing different functions. I never would have been able to do this before WLS. I am so happy and content with my life now.....if anyone asked me if I regret any part of this journey the answer is NO. I love life now and its great to be living it again.
I have lost a total of 211.5 lbs!!! It is totally amazing!! I am smaller now than I was in 5th grade!
I wish all of you the best no matter where you are in your journey and just keep thinking...it's not a diet...it's our lifestyle now. Make the best of your lifestyle.

What a great journey this is. I got on the scale this morning and am now at 244 so I am down an amazing 119 lbs so far. Woooooooo Hoooooooo!!!! I go to the gym 5 days a week and work out...I belong to the Y and they have a Ready to be Fit program that is great! Before my surgery I didn't exercise at all. It actually feels good now.
My Journey
4-17-06~I got a date!!!! May 12th, I have decided that will be my new birthday. lol
4-26-06~It's getting closer. So many of my friends and family have asked if I am nervous. I am not. Just soooooooooo excited.
I called the nutritionist today to get a list of stuff to get for my return home from the hospital. Colleen is so helpful and so full of information. Everyone at Dr. Cole's office is so nice. I know this will be a great journey.
5-10-06~2 more days!! Boy, am I every excited. I am so ready for this journey to the loser side. I thought I would be nervous but I am actually not. Strange....I have waited so long for this time and look forward to the changes in myself and my life to come.
5-16-06~Well....I am offically a loser! I made it thru surgery just fine. I hurt but that is to be expected. Surgery went very well. I am so happy my journey has finally begun.
5-29-06~The staples and drain came out on the 19th. Healing is going rather well. Walking everyday. Went to my meeting with the dietician on the 24th and she weighed me....so far I have lost 45.8 lbs.....I made her weigh me twice just to make sure. I hugged her....I am so excited. I even did my measurements yesterday and have lost a total of 16 inches already. I know there will be many many more wow moments to come. Looking very forward to them.
8-29-06~Wow it has been quite a while since I updated this thing. So much has happened and have been so busy. So far as of this morning I am down 103.5 lbs. I can't believe how fast all this is happening. I LOVE IT!!!!
