Over the last few years since I have had my surgery, People seem to drop off their blog after they reach their goal.  I pretty  much did the same thing.

So I thought I would be different and post from time to time

Has not been hard to keep the weight off.  SOOOO happy I lost my weight and would STILL do the sleeve over and over in a New York min.  I love the sleeve.

I now have developed an Iron deficiency .  I just take and iron supplement.  I also have developed low blood sugar, for this I carry honey and candy with me.

I weight 102-105 and love it!  love when people tell me I am so tiny!

WOW, been a very long time and havent blogged, however, I am starting the second leg of my weight loss journey.  In July of 2011 I reached my weightloss goal.  It has now been 1.5 years and I just went to see the plastic surgeon.  Ironically, he was the same physician that was supposed to do my Gastric Sleeve Surgery in January of 2010. 

I showed up at my appointment with Dr. Frenzel and asked if he remembered me.  He looked, and looked and then I gave him my name.  He tried SO SO SO hard to help me when Dr. Castro's office was giving me such a hard time.  They eventually told me that Dr. Frenzel had left the practice, When visiting with Dr. Frenzel, I found out that he never had left the practice until April of 2010.  

While talking with Dr. Frenzel, I realized that the original office treated me so bad, and treated so many others so bad.  I am just greatful for Dr. Frenzel and his kind office staff and wonderful bedside manner.  He was so professional and knowlegeable. 

I have many challenges ahead of me.  My surgery is going to cost me $15000.00 to fix the body I have been left with.  I have started a campaign, to ask every person that is able to, to donate $1.00 towards my surgery, and yes that means I have to ask 15,000 people for $1.00. 

I am excited to speak with 15,000 people because if I can help along the way with what I have been through then YAY!

This month is 8 months.  I am actually having trouble stopping the weight loss now, never had that issue before and when the doc tells you to go eat something of higher calorie, I find myself in a panic of gaining weight back.

Love being able to buy my clothes in the kids dept.  size 10/12 14/16 in Juniors!  They are CHEAPER and cute stuff!

Having fun with my new life!

I am very happy, I have reached my goal in 6 months and loving life!

I have reached my goal after 5 months and 1 week at 115 lbs!

Remove Today marks my 5 month anniversary for my surgery. To date I have lost 56 lbs. I weigh 119lbs and am 4 lbs from my goal of 115lbs. I have lost an additional 8 lbs since my last pictures. The vomiting pretty much has subsided.

I feel good and I am finally seeing my weight loss and when I see myself in windows and mirrors its hard to believe that is me.

I still find myself looking at the larger sizes when I go into the store because I still can't see the right clothing sizes for myself yet.

I am now in a size 2, that is the smallest size I have ever worn in my life.

Today makes 4 months - I am down to 127 lbs. I have lost an additional 8 lbs since my last pictures! That is a total of 48 lbs.

This last month has been pretty good. Still vomiting but its better. Everyday is a new adventure with my stomach. Some days I can eat fine and other days I cant keep anything down.

I have 1 picture on here and I have a new album that I made.

12 Weeks
  This will be my last Update weekly Monday. I am going to only be updating monthly.

Today I saw the doc and told him I cam still throwing up. He thinks I could have an ulcer and an ulcer would be making me vomit. So, more previcid and more reglan. We shall see.

The GREAT news today is that when U went to get weighed in. I got my new BMI and I now register as a healthy weight.

Before Surgery
I am no longer in the overweight section. This felt so good! I still and 20lbs from my goal of 115. Doctor said well you will be loosing slow now so don't get discouraged!

He also told me that it will take 12 months for my eyes to see my weight loss. He told me that it was very normal to not be able to see it.

Today makes almost three months. I was thinking about that yesterday, and was shocked that I am almost at 3 months.

I started taking my measurements on 3/5/2010 and have lost 13 inches since March 5. It seems to be that I am loosing 2 lbs a week now and seems to be pretty steady, I am happy with that.

I have officially lost 40 lbs and have 20 lbs to go. I started at 175 and my weight to date is 135. Most of you saw my post about buying my first pair of size 4 pair of shorts, I kept thinking that it was mis-marked but they weren't lol.

I am in a solid 6. that is down one more size comfortably. I am in Medium shirts comfortably but am wearing some smalls.

I still am having trouble visioning all of this, my eyes still take me to the larger sizes and when I look at the smaller sizes they seem so tiny and I cant possibly fit into those and then when I do I feel good but still don't believe it.

I am still vomiting but its only when I don't take my time eating or my stomach just isn't going to tolerate food that day. I seem to be going 4 days with good days and then 1 day is bad, I am def getting better!

10 Weeks

Tuesday was 70 days/10 Weeks from my surgery. I have only a couple things that fit left. I have only lost 2lbs in the last week and very frustrated but that's the way it goes.  I have lost a total of 38 lbs.  I have lost 13 inches since March 5.  I didnt take my inches from day one which I wish I had!

I am working out 5 days a week, using the elliptical and the bike and three days a week I am lifting weights.
I have about 22lbs to reach my goal weight.

I find myself still feeling fat and I am not sure why. I dont like this picture because I look like I am mad in it. I was looking into the sun.

I did buy my first pair of size 4 pants this week that I have ever bought in my entire life!
