As of 6/9/10 I've lost 89 pounds since 1/20/10.  Not too bad.  I'm so glad I had the surgery.  The only problem I'm having is my hair is thinning.,..too much.  But I knew that might happen.  Need to get to exercising.  Still having done that consistently.  I've never been an exercise person. 

I had gastric bypass RNY surgery on 1/20/10.  My weight when I got home was 331.4 pounds.  I was so surprised that BCBS agreed to pay for a second WLS.  I had lap band 3 1/2 years ago.  I lost about 60 pounds all together, but I regained all of that in 2009.  I lost my very best friend in March, 2009 and I began eating (medicating with sugar) like there was no tomorrow.  I've had a rough weekend, but I'm feeling better this morning.

I am scheduled for a RNY gastric bypass surgery on Wednesday, Jan. 20th at 8am.  I am so ready to get this done.  I am miserable with all the weight I've gained.  Wish me luck.

I fixed my profile to show my initial BMI, 54.9.  I just put in my numbers now and it's 44.9.  So, I'm down 10 points!  I'm happy about that!  I also fixed my ticker to show my loss since first seeing the surgeon.  Debbie

I got on the scale today and weighed 277.8.  FINALLY I'm below 280.  I've been losing and gaining 8-10 pounds for almost 2 months.  I hope this means that the weight loss has kicked back in.  It feels good. 

I didn't make my goal of 50 pounds by Nov. 2nd, but I did get to buy some new clothes in a smaller size!!  I was able to buckle the seat belt on the airplane without the dreaded seatbelt extension this time for the first time in many, many years.  It was so wonderful!  I got to see Barbra Streisand in concert in Atlantic City on Nov. 4th and it was wonderful.  A super reward for losing the weight I thought.  On a sad note, I had to put my cat of 16 years to sleep on Monday, Oct. 30th.  He'd been sick for about a month but had really been going down hill for about a year.  I sure do miss him.  I only gained 3 pounds on vacation and I was happy with that!  Debbie

I need an attitude adjustment.  I have had great difficulty with my eating plan and with exercising.  I'm feeling like I'm failing with my band.  I just need to get back on the wagon.
