Personal Comment
Oct 8th 2008~ Been awhile sencce I update this. Im 7 years post op now. My current weight is 124. I find that is is now easier to eat the foods that got fat in the first place!! But I am very very active, I love being thin, so if it means not eating cookies and peeps then oh well. I'm so please with my surgery. My whole life changed for best, My Husband would never say it, But i will say it for him, He loves me being thin. I about the same amount as my 9 year old daughter. But for future reference Im going to add what I had eat for the last 24 hours. Breakfast~3/4 cup Cream of wheat and little bit of milk. Snack~4oz yogurt fit and light by dannon Lunch- 6 saltines crackers and 2 oz of cheese ,Dinner 1/2 cup pasta tossed in Tamato sause and 2 meatballs bedtime snack~ Protien Shake.

Dec 29th 2002- Im Almost 16months post-op in a week i will be. I have had it rough these last few months with all the baking i do- but oh well, i will get back on track in the morning im not waiting till New Year to do that. I weighted myself tonight(yucky time to weigh in oh well)im still at 124 yippy!! I wear a size 3 Levi's and sometimes i think i could easily get into a size 2 but im too cheap to buy any more clothes. I had intentionally upped my calories to stop my weight loss at eight months when i got to my goal weight , But i feel i would like to get down to 115 pounds, I know im skinny now and i look great, but i have this nagging feeling that one day i will put on some of the weight i have lost( i hear most gain about 5-10 back in a few years) back on and i never want to weight more than 125. One thing that bothers me is that im always hungry, i eat like every 2 hours, so with that in mind im going to try to make heathier choices and drink more water and see if i cant get to my new goal weight by March 2003. All in All i cant complain , never thought i would like myself again- actully i love the new me:-)
July 27th 2002- im down to 126 , never thought i would see those numbers. 125 will be great but i dont want to go any lower than that. i have lost a total of 161 pounds in 10 months and 27 days. I hit goal weight weight back in May and im still losing about 6 pounds a month so i have up my calorie in take to help slow it down. Im eating heathy and i plan on doing that for the rest of my life. Thin taste so good.

I weighted today at 130 pounds and that is the best feeling in the world.Talk about feeling heathy.Im feel like im on cloud 9 all the time except for when hubby dosnt take out the trash:-)
