I am so happy to have a family who supports me and today my husband joined the website...he wants to lose 38 lbs and I know he can do it! Winter is a hard time for everyone!!! I can't stand the cold weather and I know with spring upcoming he will achieve his goals :) I love you Bruce!!

Headed back to Toledo day after Christmas.... for another surgery... I have a twist in my upper bowel and it has caused a hernia that needs removed... he says it is a simple procedure but any surgery makes me nervous... I went last week for an endoscopy and they removed a suture that caused an ulcer which is treatable but sucks for sure but hopefully all this will make me feel better and I will be back to normal in a couple weeks :)

 Gosh… I got a message from a special person today and I just wanted to say thank you.. for every message I get thanking me..asking me for help, support or just an ear..I am here. You all touch my heart so much and I just wanted to say thank you again.. You mean so much to me. Love, Tina

I am !! I am happy n healthy! Finally! A New Life... A New Me.... and a new beginning :) Sept 22nd I will be Mrs. Bruce Beare.

My energy levels are through the roof! I am walking 3 days a week for up to 2 hours at a time with friends  and this last weekend I went to Kings Island with family and friends and walked from 10am til 11pm without assistance of a wheelchair (unlike past yrs!!) amazing!!!

The EWL % calculation
Start weight minus goal weight = excess weight
Start weight minus current weight= amount lost
Amount lost divided by excess weight= percentage of excess weight lost


The Adverage ~ 25% at 3 months 50% at 6 months, 75% at 9 months and 90-100% at a year

Today is a happy day...I have not been under 200 lbs in 10+ yrs ... I am very happy but I still have a long way to go. I am still struggling with my vitamins and water intake, protein, etc... but I am feeling better and being more active! I am out everyday! Swimming and biking, walking and being with friends & family  Life is good. I love them so much. Without them I wouldn't have made it this far.

I have suffered from Migraines since my daughter was born 7 yrs ago... I had not had a migraine since my RNY April 4th which was very exciting, but unfortunatley they have came back... I went to my PCP today and she prescribed Topamax daily at bedtime and Maxalt for breakthrough headaches. Hopefully that will keep it under control...

10 Weeks since RNY I am down 50 lbs today... so exciting

Now don't get me wrong...I knew there would be stalls and plateaus, but soooo soon?? I am just barely 7 wks post-op and I have been losing and gaining the same 1 lb for a week? I can not get under 237?! I read something on the forums about a Plateau Busting diet? but I am not able to eat that much yet? like 2 oz of meat with 1/2 cup of LF cottage cheese? I can't eat over 2 oz. of meat period? Sooo confused, and mad honestly? I figured I would at least get to 199 and then stall? I can't stand the 200's I want to be out of them NoW....
