My revision was performed on  August 17, 2016.  I spent 1 night in the hospital and went home the next day.  I took the pain meds they prescribed on Thursday, but by Friday, they were giving me a headache.  Upon emailing the Dr office, they said to just take Tylenol.  I did that until Friday. It took a long while to have my first BM, but when I did... oh boy!  I hope that's not representative of the rest of my future. It was strange to be so much, considering that I had only been drinking liquids. I was tired and lethargic, though not taking any pain meds, until day 9. That's the first day I felt like myself, and wasn't confined to the toilet all morning. I was able to walk a little. I am still pretty tired unless I take half a Phen pill.  That's been making it possible for me to really exercise AND not be so hungry.

 

I am amazed that my body is sustaining itself on under 500 cal for so long.   

 

 

Almost exactly 10 year out from my original RNY.  Tomorrow I will revise to a BPD. I am up to 240 and am praying to loose almost 100 lbs to be 150 again. Wow!  THis weight crept up on me. I think I put it al on in the last 3 year.  Marriage, cooking for other and to their tastes got me away from waht I KNOW I need to do.  Then whtn I tried to get back, it seemed impossible. Exercise and high protein werw not doing it for me.  I am glad to have the opporunity to revise my tool and will be super dilligent. again.

Missed my anniversary again.  This time by more than a month.  I keep forgetting the date.  Anyway - 4 years out and still a 6.  Be encouraged.

3 years out.  Still a size 6!!  Amazing journey!

Headed out to Chicago for a week today.  I'm excited about it and hope to have some fun--though it'll be a lot of Fellowship stuff too.  Still a size 6-still 150 lbs.  I missed my 2 year surgiversary, which was Oct 12.  It's okay.  I'm happy and my tummy is not playing such a large part of my every day life anymore.  I still know when to stop-most times-with the sugar.  Sometimes-I just gotta have it.  I can eat it-just not in excess. Can eat a lot more food than I used to.  Overall, things are good.

I haven't written in a while.  That's because everything has been pretty normal.  I totaly unknowingly droped the last 5 lbs.  I weigh 150lbs which was my original goal.  I am still a size 6--so I'm not too skinny.

Maybe I'll add some updated pics.

Still a 6.  Still 155lbs. 

I'm a normal weight.  Just realzed that.  Just answered a comment made on a post I made at 9 months--when I was still in a 16.  The weight comes off so fast the further I get out!!!!!!  I was a 10, 8, then 6 in less than 2 months.  Ridiculous.  Well, no that makes sence.  I started at a size 26.  9 months later I was down to a 16.  Now 8 months after that I am in a 6.  Whatever.

I have ben a 6 for a month.  And really do not want  to get any smaller.  I have been eating Snickers snack sizes right after meals--so the sugar is not too much.  I know that is a slippery slope.  Just tryna get these calories in.  I could totally eat salad and meat only. period.  And that is apparently not enough.  Don't even like bread that much anymore.  I love surgery.  Shoulda done it eons ago. 

My mom said the other day that my arms were looking better-not so giggly.  I hope my legs catch up.  I was up till 3 on Saturday looking at pictures of the scars from thigh lifts.  No thank you!  They are right inthe grion.  I'd never open my legs again.  Imagine sitting.  I'm done with surgery.  Maybe.  My boobs suck.  I don't know....

How about exercising and taking my vitamins... Let's try that and see what happens.  :)  
Note to self:  Call your doctor and ask him how to stop loosing weight and get your blood checked for Christ's Sake.

Bought a bunch of 6s over the weekend.  Took some other clothes to be altered.  I loved my size 10 suits.  I thought I was gonna stay there.  Nope.  So I'm getting them made into 6s.  No more boyfriend.  Was sad for about 2 weeks, but have finally gotten him to stop calling - I think -- and now I can get on with it.  Not sad anymore.  

I really should be more ashamed of showing my body to men than I am.  I worry that I will gross men out wiht my loose skin thighs and saggy breasts.  I look so good in my clothes! And like an 80 year old with them off. :(  

I don't know what I am going to do about that.  But I will not let it keep me from getting back out there.  They are all over me right now.  Lovin" it!

Well, it was less than a month fort he 8s.  I bought 6s yesterday.  AMAZING!  I need to stop this train soon.
