My life is different than I could have ever expected...I am so much happier...I still am tired and they are not sure why I get so tired.....I mean I have energy and am very active but I have a sense of tiredness....so we are still working on that. 

I am at around 115lbs lost which is awesome! Give or take a few pounds..but I am just happy I am looking at maybe a job change soon...to get some of the stress out of my life...once that happens things will be better I am almost positive. I have applied and will be happy if it all works out. I will graduate with my masters degree in December and am pondering taking on a doctorate degree in the spring...life is good...and I have to remember to smile and enjoy life!

To all my WLS friends..keep up the good work and keep on enjoying the beautiful ride we call life.

Well folks...I am still here trucking along....not doing as well as some of my counter part friends who are kicking rear at losing weight!!! WOO-HOO for them! I am still doing well....to date about 80lbs...which is really good...but I want more....:) I wanna be even healthier....I always said..I am going to my first pych post consult since my surgery...I think it will be really good for me.

I have noticed a difference in the way people treat me especially when flying....I have flown twice since surgery....and let me tell you what a difference in the way they treat me. Crazy I tell ya.....I can't wait to see how they treat me when I am skinner yet....which hopefully will be soon....

Ok...well I will leave with saying I am still struggling with water...some days i drink plenty other days I feel my belly will explode if i take a sip.....food it just depends on the food how much I can consume....anyways thanks for the continued messages I need these....you all are amazing!

Hello OH Family,

I have been doing pretty good....finally am feeling energized...though I admit I still don't want to get out of bed in the morning...but who really does that isn't a morning person?

People are really noticing my different look...I can't wait to find out how many inches I have lost silly me didn't write all that down before.....but you can definetly tell I have lost weight.

My first mini goal has already been accomplished to feel better....but I have more mini goals that continue to come into play each day.

No seat belt extensions on the airplane anymore :) woo-hoo that is just an amazing feeling.

My next mini goal is to drop as much weight as possible...because I am going to a wedding in May and my friend has not seen me since the previous May....and....I did not tell her I was having this done...so if I can drop a significant amount of weight it will just be good to see the kind of reaction i can get. :) 

I am also in two weddings in the next year...my best friend Shelly and my brothers...I want to look great for both of them. So any and all suggestions are welcome to achieve maximum success!!

Also....I need a really good kick my butt workout....so hollar at ur girl if you got one.

Hello new life....its been almost 2 weeks since surgery I am already noticing things changing! I have lost about 24 lbs since surgery day...how exciting! It isn't easy though....the liquid diet the full diet are very hard to stick to cause I want to chew something. However only another week till i can eat soft/puree....that will be exciting!  All and all things are going well this has been one of the if not the best descion I have ever made.

I am having a hard time with the protein and water. I just don't like almost anything that the protein is in that I can have.....so I am still in search of a good protein shake....or something that i like....so ideas are always welcome.
