August 23-Well, the tummy is smaller now!!! My surgery went well and I am back to normal. I am now wearing size 14 jeans and my total weight loss is 175 pounds!!!! I can not believe it! I carry around a fat picture of me that was taken the day before my gastric bypass,just to show anyone who doesn't believe how much I lost! What a difference. I will never go back, I'll say that right now!

June 19th   My total weight loss to date is 161 pounds !!!!! I cannot believe I have lost so much and cannot believe I ever let myself get that big! What was my problem? Don't matter- I'm not going back! It feels too good to be able to shop in regular sizes and keep up with my kids and I really like looking in that mirror now! I now have to pay a percent of the costs for my tummy tuck,but I think we can do it. I already have my surgery scheduled for July 16th,so I guess I better come up with the money from somewhere!

Well, I've kinda been in a rut lately-only 8 more pounds gone this past month or so. I hope this doesn't mean I've stopped losing. I've got at least another 30 pounds I want off,and 25to 30 beyond that I could stand to lose! If I could get down to my ideal weight,that would be perfect! Oh well,I'll just keep trying! My surgeon said that we will start trying to get approval from insurance for the tummy tuck when I go back to see him in Feb.-I have to bring pix of my flabby flab tummy(4 different views!)so he can prove to my insurance that it's medically needed! Why can't the insurance companies just include the tummy tuck automatically when they approve the gastric bypass?Seems smart to me,but then again, I'm not the insurance companies! We shall see what they say then!

As of this morning at the gym(yes,I go three times a week still),I have lost a total of 131 pounds! Yeah! 40 more to go to reach my goal,and only 28 more after that to get down to my ideal weight! It actually seems like I can do this. I am 9 months out and the doc said 1 year to 18 months before any plastic surgery,so I guess I can reach what I thought before was impossible. I have an appointment on Nov.9th with Dr. Iqbal and I want to lose as much as I can before then,so I'm really gonna try harder and up my exercise ,too!

Well, it is Oct.6th, and another 5 pounds down. I just can't help feeling a little depressed,cause I let myself get that big to begin with! 

Anyhow,what matters is that I am doing something about it now,and I will never go back!

My 6 month anniversary is tomorrow (July 23) and I am down 101 lbs.!!!! I don't have a doctor's appt. again until Sept., so I am gonna try to lose a bunch more before then. I love to see the look on Dr. Iqbal's face when he walks in the room-I think I am doing him proud!

Well,I'm almost four months out and I'm right around the 70 pound mark. I hope I can lose about 30 more in the next month! I would love to be able to go to my next doctor's appointment with that goal down! We shall see,won't we!? 

Well,I was a little off-my total is 80 pounds as of 5-22-06! I think I might be able to reach my 100 pound goal by my next dr. appt.! YAHOO!!!

Well,it's been three months (this Sunday-23rd) and my official loss so far is 63 pounds! I think that's pretty good! Gotta exercise more,so I don't level out too soon.Going to Curves three days a week is good,but I need to find something else to do on the other four days!
