So, here I am sitting at my computer, and I am feeling like a whole new person. I know I am not at "goal", but I just have to say that 123 lbs lost....is success!! I am so extremely grateful, for the chance to have WLS. It has changed my life. I am living life, not just exhisting. I don't have fears that Iused to have. The little worries are not there. I am truely amazed everyday. Even though the weight loss has slowed down ALOT, it is still comming off.

I just wanted to share something I heard on a tv show. I just had a light bulb moment..............."Eat to live, dont live to eat!!!" Is'nt that great! I really understand now. Seriously, I eat to survive now. I dont live to eat!! I used to, let me tell ya....eating was an event! Again, not anymore. I find that it is not the center of every event! It's great!

Sorry about not posting last month, but here I am, and its been 5 months. I have lost 102lbs! 91 since surgery!!!!! It is almost unreal. Just saying those words is just crazy to me. I am over half way to goal, and it is getting harder to get the weight off, but it is still going down. So, I am happy. I feel so much better. I have more energy, and I dont feel like there is anything that I cannot do. Before, I would second guess everything...can I walk that far? Will I fit in the chairs? Stupid stuff like that. Now I find myself not even thinking about it. It doesn't matter anymore. I am having extra skin issues, and I dont know if I will ever beable to afford plastics, but I will try. Overall, I am still very excited about this journey, and I hope anyone considering it, REALLY considers it. RESEARCH EVERYTHING!!! So far....best descision I have made for myself in a long time. I am taking care of me and I love it!!!! I LOVE MY RNY!!!!

Hi everyone! I guess I am doing what I am supposed to. 68 lbs gone since surgery, and 79 lbs since heaviest point...in Feb. I had my check up today, and so far so good. She did say that the loss will start to slow down, but that I am doing great! So, now I feel more secure that I will succeed with this. Sometimes when the scale doesnt budge for a few days, it seems like this is not working, but I guess it is. I have more energy, and I LOVE THE GYM! I cannot believe that I feel that way, but it is such a stress reliever, and I feel like "I" am doing this, not the surgery. So, anyways I think I will wait another month to take more pics to post, maybe it will be more noticable. Oh yeah, I had to renew my drivers license, and they just mailed it to me with my old pic on it.....OMG! What a round face I had. I have to go and retake the pic....it's kinda funny. I also have to slow down on the coffee, I am really enjoying it, but the doc says I can get dehydrated, retain water, and even form ulcers, soooo I am cutting back. Well until next post, good luck to everyone else thats on this journey to a better quality of life.

SO, I dont know whats goin on. I feel great, I am losing, but I seem to stall once and a while, and the doc says I need to lose 24 more lbs in the next 30 days to be on track. She asked if I was cheating, and all I could do was laugh. I am sooooooscared of getting sick, I couldnt imagine cheating. Maybe im not eating enough. I did stop eating so much fruit, and switch to veggies, and it seemed to help, but anyways, I think im rambling. so, I have lost 57 lbs, and only 42 since surgery. Is this going to work for me????I still have along way to go. Oh well, lets just see how this all plays out. Im sure I will do fine. Protein, water, protein, water, and Curves should help. Lets see....till next time. Asta

SO, I just got home about 2 hrs ago, and doing good. I am going to pick up rx for pain in a bit. I think Im still in a state of shock, I actually did it. Never really thought this would happen. I feel good, better than yesterday. So I will just take it day by day, and recover. Thanks for everyone's well wishes, and support. It makes a difference. It really does. Enough for now, I want to rest....till next blog.....have a good one.

                     So, I know there are more things I could probably think of, these things happen all the time, and now they are going to change. Oh how the Simple Stuff can be so wanted, needed. Thanks for listening.

I am shocked! That was fast! Approved, and date is set for April 14. This is the beginning of a new me, or back to the original me....cant wait.

I have been very patient waitng for all the doctors to get their reports in, and now its done. What a relief. Lets hope this goes good.
