~My Weight Loss Journey~

 Surgery was 10/26/05...I had open RNY. I did great!! Went home in three days, but could have gone home in two days, just didn't have the arrangements made for two days, dumb me!  Oh, yeah, my weight before surgery was 272 lbs, ugh!

 4/24/06 - Haven't posted anything in a longggg time, sorry! I've been feeling really well, no longer get tired shopping, walking or whatever. My wt loss is going on the slow side though, total so far is 55 lbs. I'll be six months post-op on 04/26/06. I don't know anyone else who lost that slow. :-( But as long as it keeps dropping, even if slow, I'll take it. It may take me two years to get to goal, but I'm not giving up!

I will post some new pictures as soon as I can figure out what the heck is wrong with my dig camera. If I can't get it working, I'll get someone else to take pictures. I probably won't look any different, lol. Until next time, sooooooo long!

Okay, new peeektures! :) Be nice now! Afterall, I'm 52 years old and in my second childhood, LOL!

Almost 10 mos postop and losing very sloooooooowly now, I'm down to 202 and haven't moved for about 3 wks. My clothes do seem to fit a little lose though, so maybe I'm losing inches. I was bad and didn't measure myself before surgery, so I have no idea on the inches status. Here are some new pictures...

9/4/06 ~ My birfday ~ ACK, 53 yrs young!! =P

10/16/06 ~ Almost two months later, and I FINALLY lost about 4 more lbs, ugh!  Down into the 100s now at 198.  Saw the surgeon last wk and he thinks I'm doing well, hah!  Most patients lose 100 lbs at least their first year, but nothing EVER comes easy to me.  So I'm looking at total of almost 75 lbs lost so far...HELP!!  Okay, told the surgeon since I still have about 50 lbs left to lose, I WILL lose that within the next year, YEP, I WILL!!!!!!!!!!! =P
