TODAY IS THE 20TH AND I THINK I FEEL WORSE THAN YESTERDAY. I KNOW THIS WILL PASS.21ST THIS MORNING WHEN I WOKE UP I GOT ON THE SCALE AND I HAVE LOST 6LBS OF FLUID. YEAH SOME OF THE SWELLING HAS GONE DOWN. I MIGHT GO FOR A WALK TODAY.
24TH THIS MORNING I GOT ON THE SCALE AND I'M DOWN TO 276 THATS 24LBS INCLUDING THE FLUID GAIN AFTER THE SURGERY. NOW I'M FEELING ALOT BETTER THAN I WAS FRIDAY. I GO BACK TO THE DOC ON FRIDAY TO GET A REAL WEIGH IN AND GET THE STAPLES OUT AND TO GO ON TO FULL LIQUIDS YEAH. I AM TIRED OF SF JELLO AND POPCYCLES. I'LL POST AGAIN IN A FEW DAYS.
TODAY IS OCT. 27 2006 AND I HAD MY FIRST POST-OP APPT. MY STAPLES ARE OUT AND I'M DOWN 16LBS.
TODAY IS NOVEMBER 6,2006 AND I HAD A THREE WEEK VISIT WITH MY SURGEON. HERE IT IS: I'VE LOST 5 LBS THIS WEEK THAT MAKES 21LBS SINCE WLS. AND I CAN GO BACK TO WORK ON THURSDAY. NOW THINGS ARE STARTING TO BE BACK TO NORMAL.
TODAY IS NOVEMBER 20TH AND I WENT BACK TO SEE DR.ROE. I'VE LOST 3 MORE LBS AND I CAN EAT REGULAR FOOD AND I'VE BEEN RELEASED TO EXERCISE.
Today is November 29th and I went to see the nut. and I weighed myself. I'm now down to 252 lbs. whoo hooo. Anyway the nut said that I'm eating all of the right foods and now I can pretty much eat anything. Today is Feb 23, 2007 and I went for my four month check up with Dr. Roe. I am no longer morbidly obese and I'm more than half way to my goal. I'm so happy that I this surgery and I feel so much better than I did 84 lbs ago.
Today is July 13,2007, 9 months after my surgery and I have lost 130lbs. If I do not lose anymore weight for the rest of my life, I could never say that this surgery was any kind of disapointment. I am so happy about my weight loss. The last time I weighed 166, I was at my first obgyn appointment 12 years ago. In April I moved to the Eastern Shore, so i haven't been on the site much. Anyway I just wanted to update my profile.
Today is October 17,2007, My one year anniversary for my surgery. Today I am proud to say that I have lost 145 pounds. That's a whole person. My weight is 149 lbs. I have lost almost a whole me. I thank God and my family and my closest friends for their support and encouragment, without them I could not have accomplished as much as I have.
Today is January 10,2008, My weight is now 139lbs. and I feel great. My health is so much better and I'm finally livng life the way I'm supposed to. I'm so thankfull for this surgery.
