14 Months Post Op
Apr 20, 2008
Well yesterday was 14th months with a new life. I had to go to the doctor today and that lovely scale said 209 :) I'm still within the goals that was set but my personal "dream" goal is 199. Doesn't seem too far away now. My bi-polar has been doing better but there's still alot of ups and downs with it. Hubby and daughter are really trying to help and understand what I'm going through. I'm going to call my tattoo person to get two more petals added. I'm finially admitting what my highest was to people. That's been a stretch and so hard to do. I was 421, lord that kills me to say. So I've lost 212 pounds since I started everything. I'll gladly wear those 4 petals on my sholder now. My reminder of where I was and where I'll NEVER be again. I gave myself a moment the other day too. I got a pair of 16's and just tried them on. They was a bit snug due to the skin on my stomach but they fit :) I was one happy chick then. Well I'll close for now but that's my little update on life. Someone asked me the other day if I'd do it all over again, I'll say it again here 1,000 times YES, in a heartbeat. I can do so much with my daughter now. We've planning vacation to Myrtel Beach and then Disney next year. Its so nice not to think, can I walk that much, or can I get on the rides. Now I just do it :)
1 year out :)

Well its one year out and I'm down to 214. Love life! I have recently found my other brother and his family. So I'm getting to know them all and just enjoying the freedom that loosing the weight has given me
6 month update
Aug 17, 2007
We're leaving on the 30th for our first vacation since surgery. I can't wait to travel and see the "new me". I've always had to stop because of the seatbelt being so tight. Now there's plenty of room in it so that's not gonna be a problem.
I'm down 99 pounds and have only that one pound to hit 100 pounds :) I'm feeling great. Today I went out on a bike ride with my daughter. That's a mile of bike riding done this morning. This after noon we took a mile long walk. We're planning or doing more cleaning and maybe swimming. So there's plenty of working out going on today.
I'm about 1/3 of the way through my first semester at school. It's tough but I'm getting it done. My daughter starts her school on the 27th of August. I'm so excited to see her going onto the first grade.
