2 year update

Aug 28, 2009

We'll it's been two years since my surgery, and a year since I've posted anything!
Still doing we'll, although I've put on a few ponds lately, I'm still well over a 100 pounds less than I was two years ago.
I'm working with the nutritionist to take off some weight and find a happy medium to maintain.
On the plus side my health is good and thanks to my new life and gained confidence, I met, fell in love with, and am now going to marry the most wonderful girl on the planet!
WLS has definitely changed my life for the better.

No Longer Obese!

Apr 18, 2008

So today I am no longer obese according to my BMI

Very happy I'm finally out of that category.

100 pounds gone!!!!!

Feb 29, 2008

Today I hit the 100lbs lost.  Wow never I really never thought I'd be here in my lifetime.  So many diets and faliures, I just couldn't imagine getting down to this weight, wearing shirts that didn't have XXXX in the size, and buying clothes at a regular store.
Life is getting good

Below 200!!!!!!

Dec 28, 2007

So today for this first time in about 16yrs  I am under 200 lbs

This was my goal for the end of the year and I made it.  Now my next big goal is have lost 100 lbs, which is coming in the near future.


80 pounds gone forever!!!!

Dec 08, 2007

Today I hit the 80lbs down mark.  It's been coming off very steady and I'm really feeling good.  Clothes fit so much better and I have more energy.

I've hit a few minor pot holes on the road, but nothing too bad and been doing so well.  I'm hoping to be below 200lbs by the new year

Down 73!

Nov 17, 2007

So today's weigh in has me down 73 pounds total since starting the process.  I'm so happy
I have more enegry than I can ever remember, and I'm down 3 clothes sizes.

For once in a long time I'm really looking foward to the holidays and going to parties and social events.  Just can''t wait till I get to goal.


A Good morning

Oct 27, 2007

Today I had a good weigh in.  Down 4 pounds
I'm really feeling it too.  Last night when I was in bed I felt something on my chest and for a moment didn't know what it was.  But it was my breast bone!
Haven't felt that in a long time.
My clothes sizes just keep going down and down.  Went through my closet today and took out the louds of clothes that don't fit, and tried on a lot that fit really well.  It a great feeling especially when its something the didn't fit so good a few weeks ago, but now fits great.


Back to work!

Sep 29, 2007

Tomorrow I go back to work.  I got the ok last week when I saw my surgeon.  Everything was healing well, and I have very little pain left, just once in a while a little bit if I move the wrong way.  So it was time to get back to the real world.
Part of me is looking foward to it.  Getting back to a routine will be good.  Getting a little bored being home all the time.  And I think being busy will keep my mind off food and I'll do even better.
But of course there is that part that would like to have more time to do things around the house and be able to take my afternoon walk in Roger Williams park and read for awhile under a tree watching the ducks swim by in the lake.  Of course reality has to come back so it's time I guess.

3 Week Update

Sep 19, 2007

Since it's been a little over three weeks, I figured it was time for an update.

The first few weeks were really tough.  After I got out of the hospital I was tired and sore.  My first few nights were at my families home.  Although it was good to be with them, it was good to get home after a couple days and be back into my own bed.  From there on it was a rollacoster ride.  I did the best with the protein shakes, but sometimes it was tough getting them all in.  I am lucky that I have not yet had any nausa or thrown up.  The first two weeks I was very sore and then started to get sharp pains in the front of my stomach.  It was like someone was stabing me with a knife.  I checked with the doctor and she said it was from the musles and normal that they would be sore like that.  At this point I was probably at my lowest.  I was in pain, tired, couldn't eat, and depressed.  I did my best to keep myself going, talking to friends, (on OH and my personal friends), watching movies (a lot of comedies) and trying to focus on how I was going to feel in a few months.
Then all of a sudden things turned around.  No more sharp pains, and the soreness was getting better.  Now this week I'm really feeling better.  Very little pain, my energy level is getting better, I'm walking every day, and I'm losing weight.  I actually went to get some pants yesterday and most in my closet were too big!!!!  I had to get some at a smaller size and they fit great.
I'm progressing on the food plan.  Made it past the purees and now I'm adding in a better varity of food, and doing a decent job of getting in the protein.  So hopefully now everything is moving in the right direction and I'll be on my way to my new thinner life.
