Oct.18, 2005 6 days till surgery. I am excited and scared all at the same time.
Oct. 21, 2005 I will be leaving tomarrow. I am scared. I have never had any kind of surgery in my life. I am so ready for my new life. I wish that I could get to the other side without having to have the surgery part. It will most likely not be as bad as I am expecting. We will see and I will update you when I get home.
Nov. 1, 2005 I am back! Everything went great! I have already lost 11 pounds. I am so happy. I am having a little trouble getting in all of my liquids in. I am also dealing with this head hunger thing. It is just amazing how much I needed to change. Yesturday I opened a package for my son of jelly beans and just out of habit grabed one. I stopped myself thinking wait I am not suppose to eat this. This morning I was making my kids sandwiches for lunch and I licked the jelly off of the knife. I stopped myself and had to wipe the jelly off my toung. There are so many bad habits that I need to work on that I didn't even know that I had. Well I will update at a later time.
Nov 13, 2005 Well I am feeling great. It is nice to be able to eat something now. I have lost 21 pounds and feel like I have more energy. I can't wait to loose more.
Dec 6, 2005 It has been a long time since I last posted. Things are going great. I did get the flu last week and had to go to the emergency room for fluids. But that was really nothing. It is so funny because I get different reactions from different people. Some people say I am looking great and others don't even notice. People are funny. I am still having trouble getting any kind of meat down. Soups are good. Breakfast is hard for me. I try to just drink my protien shake. Well got to go.
Dec 29, 2005 Well I am still here. not much to say. Weight is slowly coming off. Still having trouble with getting any kind of meat down. I still have trouble getting all of my water but it is getting easier. I still like soup.

It has been a long jouney. I am down 71 pounds now. I excersise, I fit into clothes that I have not fit into in years, and I feel great. This was the best decision of my life. I can't wait to get to goal.
April 4, 2006 I am down 75 pounds. I am starting to think about possible plastic surgery. I have found that I have a lot of extra skin.
May 17, 2006 Things are great for me. The last 10 pounds have brought me to a place I have not seen in years. My skinny clothes no longer fit me, they are just too big. I still have 20 to 30 pounds to loose. I continue to have the fear that this is it. I really want to loose 30 more pounds and I am hoping the weight loss continues.
Aug 20, 2006 I have now lost over 100 pounds and I feel great. I wear size 5 clothes. I am always aware of the fact that if I am not careful that I could some day gain the weight back. I am always careful about what I eat. I would like to lose 5 more pounds.
Oct. 25, 2006 I have been at my goal weight now for over 1 month. I feel great, I exsercise every day and go shopping for clothes all the time. I am very carefull about what I eat and how much. I love my life and feel great about myself.
Jan. 9, 2007 I still keep thinking that this is a dream. I know weigh 113 pounds and wear a size 3. I even fit into some size 1. I now excersise and have more energy than I have ever had. I still eat small meals. I do not eat alot of meat, only for dinner. I never eat fast food!!!! I try to stay away from any type of carbs. I do not eat desserts. I truly feel that if you get into a routine of eatting properly then life will be much easier on you.
April 22, 2007 I have been steady at 110 now for 3 months. I feel great with no problems. This has truly been the best thing I could have done for myself.
