I  started this journey on aug 27, 2009, weighing in at 253.  Today I am 173 .  i have 26 more to go unitl I reach my goal of 146.  I am 5"7.5 and had to buy a size 8 pair of pants.  yea... I feel wonderful.  My health has imporved so much and all my blood work has come back great.  I do take my vitamins and excerise, and try and get in all my water.  I really don't care if I lose anymore weight cause I did this for improved health and I have achieved that so tjhe surgery is a sucess, the smaller pants size is a bonus....I like to shop now....lol .  My husband is not thrilled about  that but he is so proud of me and  glad that I am going to be around longer to  pester him....hehehe  He loves me either way overweight or not but he is so happy from  q health stand point that I had the surgery.  He was a great support and I think he might just be alittle proud of the way I look too....sorry it took me so long to write but this has been a process.  My mother passed away in Dec and emotionally I have had my ups and downs but as far as the surgery, after 6 weeks  I felt good and my journey really began.  I have not lost much hair but really did not care about that anyway.   I now can eat just about anything I want, but I do not eat high carb things.  I stay away from rice, pasta, french fries (yummy)  I don't eat sugar, but I do eat cashews....I have been very lucky and only had trouble in the beginning when I would eat to fast, and it only took a few times for me learn...I hate that pain when I did get something stuck.  I have had no problems with sugar , all though I do not eat much if any.  I think that brings me up to date...Hope to write again soon
