I am a manager of an IT group for my "real job". I'm also a widow, have no children and 9 cats. I am also a radio deejay at a local Community Radio station here in Salt Lake City. I do the Sunday Sagebrush Serenade on KRCL 90.9 FM. It is a whole lot of fun. I'm 44 years old. I'm starting out this process at 375 lbs. I have a good life. I just want my health and I'm hoping this surgery can help me insure I'll have a lot of good years ahead.

Well, I had the surgery nearly 4 weeks ago. I've done very well. Haven't had any complications. I'm losing slowly, but, I know I'm doing the right thing. Trying to make sure whatever I eat is packed with nutrition.

Well, it is 6 months later and I've lost 112 lbs. I really feel terrific! I just got back stellar results on my 6 month blood work. I guess my paying such strict attention to nutrition and making sure I take all my vitamins has really helped. I workout 6 days a week. 2 days cardio at the gym, 3 days strength training at the gym, 1 day of water aerobics. I've never been much of an exerciser. I'm so proud of myself that I have been doing this and very consistently. Woohoo!

I'm a little over 8 months out now and have lost 129 lbs. I'm getting excited because I can really "see" a difference finally! I've continued to exercise and keep my diet in fitday.com. I struggle with "head hunger" but, I think if I can just keep up everything I'm doing, I'll ultimately be okay. My new favorite saying is: "Weight Loss Surgery is not a get out of diet and exercise jail free card".

I'm 3 days away from my 9 month surgiversary. I've lost 132 lbs. They've put up my picture, but, I don't know how to add a comment.

Well, I'm about 11 days away from my 1 year anniversary! I've lost a total of 143 lbs. I now weight 242 lbs. I sure hope I can get under 200 lbs. My weight loss has slowed down considerably. My physical fitness is the very best it ever has been in my life. I have a very strong commitment to exercise. In fact, I'm addicted to it! I never thought I could say that! Today, the weight loss surgical center called and asked me if I would be ina commercial for them. Wow! I am not svelte, but, maybe I should do it to show the reality of going from being super morbidly obese and then 1 year out? My life has changed so dramatically
