It is 2/28/08, I had surgery on 7/25/07. In just a little over 7 months I lost forever 100 pounds!

Feeling really good!

I cannot believe tomorrow will be 6 months! Today's weight was 237, which means I have lost 91 pounds and am at the hallf way point of what I would LOVE to lose! Time will tell. Another 92 pounds would put me at 145...I cannot even remember when I weighed that. I also cannot believe I will be below 200 pounds in 38 pounds! I have not been in the one hundred range for at least 25 years. Unbelievable. I feel WONDERFUL.

December 5th, down 70#~! Clothes are falling off of me. Wanted to hit 75# for the holidays, don't  think this will be a problem. Maybe shoot for 80# for the New Year. I am going to have to hit some of the after the holiday sales to get some basics for clothes to carry me thru. I have no idea what size I am now...should be fun!

Yesterday was 4 months for me. It was also my first Thanksgiving weekend since my surgery. I did really well. It was tough not having some of the food items, but I felt very good when I stayed true to myself and my tool. I am down 65# now. I want to lose at least 10 more pounds for the next holiday, which feels very doable. Then I will be at 75#. Incredible. I feel so much better now. Life is good.

One week ago today I had my surgery! I can't believe a week has passed already! I feel very good and am just dealing with a little tiredness, but overall, pretty good. The clear liquid diet with protein drinks is growing old, only 2 more weeks before I move on to puree. My biggest news:  I am down 12 pounds as of this morning~! Unbelievable!

I cannot believe my date has been moved up from July 30th to the 25th! That is only one short week away. I am very excited and have a great sense of calm about this whole operation. I have wonderful confidence in Dr. Choi and her staff and feel like I am in great hands.

I took my measurements and my before pics today. That was hard. It is such a slap in the face to see how big you really are versus what the image you hold in your head of how you think you look!

Off to take a walk..trying to do at least 20 minutes a day for 5 days a week so that when I come home from the hospital it won't feel so daunting!
