Size 2 or 0
Nov 18, 2009
It has been a while since I have posted. I am down to 105 and in a size 2 and some of them are still baggy so maybe a 0. I buy my clothes at thrift stores because I am not sure where I am going to settle.
I still have issues eating any kind of meat. Dr. Patel says some patients become vegeterians, I guess that could be me, but he said i should not have any problems just need to make sure that I am getting my proteins in and to do that I may need to continue with protein shakes. For a while I was not able to drink them, but at this time I am able to tolerate them. I am getting my vitamins in and my iron and calcium and vitamin D.
A couple months ago I had to have my gall bladder removed and he did a scope down my throat to see if I had any issues because I was getting sick alot. At this time he found a severe obstruction from the scar tissue from the surgery and he had to open it up some. I have not had any issues since and hope I don't. I had gotten down pretty low at that time. I am doing so much better now.
My boobs are gone, I am going to post a new picture. People that have not seen me in a while are blown away at how much I lost in my chest as well as every where else. It is amazing.
If you have issues just see the doctor and don't put it off like I did. I Thank God and Dr. Patel for fixing me up and me being healthy again.

Size 8 heading for 6...
May 20, 2009
I am doing good, still having eating problems with meat. I can eat a little cheese now. I am at 139.4 today and my first goal set by Dr. Patel is 130. That is my scales not his. His scales said I weighed 144 last Friday and before I went down there I weighed and mine said 141.8. That was in the afternoon. When I was in the hospital they would get us up after midnight to weigh us so I weigh at night when I make my nightly bathroom run. I have lost 71.25 " and 65 lbs, since December. I am wearing size 8 and some of them are loose. I look too skinny already even for me, so I can't imagine losing another 9 lbs much less 19 lbs. The Doc says I should weigh 100 and teens for my height. I think it was 118, I don't even want to be there if I look worse than I do now. I think I am at a very healthy weight right now and I will try to get to the 130 mark, but can't imagine any lower. I will play it by ear.
I hope everyone else it doing good!

SIZE 10 NO WAY!
Apr 27, 2009
I am 3 months and one week out and I am now in size 10 and really need a nine soon. The legs and butt of the 10's are loose, just a little more in the waist. I feel great just still the same eating problem as before. I still have energy and am walking and actually adding a couple rounds at the track of running or jogging after walking a round so I jogged 5 rounds today and walked 4. I have been doing 3 miles, but with all the rain I just walked at the track today, my walking partner, Jeanette did not show up today so I have to call and check on her later.
I hope everyone else is doing good!

Almost 3 months out
Apr 13, 2009
On the 21st I will be 3 months out. I like 1/2 lb losing 50 lbs so far. I am 24.6 lbs away from my first goal.
I am doing pretty good, but I am still having trouble eating any kind of meats or cheese. I am keeping up my protein by eating alot of beans and protein shakes. I can't eat much of anything, I do get sick when I try to eat the meat, I did have a little fish the other day and managed to keep it down. I eat broths alot and I can have some vegetables. I feel great, and I am walking almost every day. I just get really hungry for something different every now and then and wish I could tolerate something else. I keep trying but so far, nothing. I know it will change soon, and I will have to worry about wanting things and just saying no, but right now, it would be nice to eat Tuna or or chicken.
I am wearing size 12 now, down from 22-24 at my largest weight. I was 18-20 when I had the surgery. I went thrift store shopping to get 12's thinking I would soon be in them and they fit now and actually a little baggy in the legs already.

6 weeks out!!!
Mar 08, 2009
I AM 6 WEEKS OUT AND HAVE LOST 38 LBS SINCE DEC 29TH. THAT INCLUDES THE PRE-OP DIET. I AM NOW ABLE TO WORK OUT WITH WEIGHTS AND DID GO TODAY AND STARTED. I ALSO WALKED 3 MILES.
I HAVE BEEN DOING PRETTY GOOD, I DID GO THROUGH A ROUGH TIME FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS, I HAD THIS TASTE IN MY MOUTH THAT WOULD JUST NOT GO AWAY. IT GOT SO BAD I COULD NOT DRINK WATER OR EAT OR EVEN TAKE MY VITAMINS. I WAS STARTING TO GET REALLY SCARED, I FELT SO BAD AND HAD NO ENERGY. BUT LAST TUESDAY I STARTED FEELING BETTER AND IT HAS FINALLY GONE AWAY SO I CAN EAT, DRINK AND TAKE VITAMINS, THANK GOD! I HAD A LOT OF PRAYER GOING UP FOR ME AND IT IS A GOOD THING.
I WISH ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD TO PEOPLE THAT WANT THIS SURGERY, IT IS A BLESSING AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT EVEN AFTER THE DECISION IS MADE IT WILL NOT BE AN EASY TASK. IT IS VERY HARD, BUT WELL WORTH THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION IT TAKES TO MAKE IT. I THANK GOD FOR THE OPPORTUNITY, I KNOW HIS HAND WAS IN IT ALL.
I AM BACK INTO MY SIZE 14 PANTS AND HEADING TOWARD THE 12'S. I COULD POSSIBABLY BE A 8-10 BEFORE I AM DONE. I AM PETITE SO I COULD BE A PETITE BOMB SHELL UNDER ALL OF THIS FAT!!!!!

Surgery over- rest of my life...about to start!
Jan 26, 2009
I had my surgery and came through it fine. I have been walking around the house a bit, to cold and wet outside. But, I am definately moving. I am a little sore when I get up and set down, but other wise feel fine. I selpt in my own bed last night after 2 nights on the couch and woke up at 4:00 with my back aching a little. But, I went to bed at 8:30 I was so tired. I hope to return to work on Thursday with no problems.
Finally made it. Now starts the rest of my life.....good weight updates later...
One week to go to surgery
Jan 14, 2009
Well, I have one week left until surgery. I have it on Wednesday of next week. Boy, it has been a long time coming. I can't wait, but I guess I have too.... My son just called me and told me Jake has his first tooth. He will be 6 months old on the 22nd and has his first tooth, by then he may have the other one. I go to San Antonio this Friday for my pre-op meeting at Dr. Patel's Office and I talked to Debbie at the Hospital and she approved me coming and do my pre-admission at the hospital in the morning on Friday. So at this time, I should get the time of my surgery and have all of my instructions. I know this week is going to fly and I am going to run out of time. I have to get everything together to take to the hospital. I have already made a list of things everyone tells me I will need. I have to go to the store to pick up a couple of things then get my bag packed.
I will post as soon as I am able to. Until later.....

Countdown Begins....
Jan 03, 2009
I have worked out 3 out of the 4 days of the new year. I am gearing up to start my pre-op diet on Wednesday January 7th. I think I will do just fine. I am scared the time will fly by and I will not get everything I need to get done at work so I will feel comfortable taking off. I worked one day of my Christmas break and worked on my 1099's so it will go faster. I still have bills to pay at work and taxes to be filed, but I am certain I will get it done, just a little apprehensive about it all. The count down begins.....

I have a date!!
Dec 31, 2008
I have a date!! I start the pre-op diet on January 7th and my surgery will be on January 21st. This is my Mom's 80th birthday so it will also be my new birthday. It will be easier to remember this way. I am so happy, a little nervous, but very happy. I worked on my exercise room today, I have it all set up so I can workout on my elipitical and I have a small trampoline and I plan on walking alot. I also have access to the weight room at the high school and plan on taking advantage of it alot. Thank you God for getting me this far!!!

Labs done waiting on date...
Dec 26, 2008
I did labs on December 22nd. Since Christmas happens to be this week, I will be thanking God for getting me this far and wait until everyone returns (patiently) so that I can get my surgery date scheduled. I hope to schedule it on January 26th, because of my work this is the best time for me. I will do it any time, but this is really the best time, because I can take a week off from work without interfering with my work and I have been off for Christmas break since the 19th. I will have a lot to do when I return to prepare for this week off. It is less than a month away and I have been working toward this for a long time and it is finally getting here. I just thought of something, I bet I have the surgery before this because someone told me the labs had to be no longer than 30 days before surgery so if I did them on the 22nd, then I will probably have to do the surgery the week before the 26th which would be 19th so I will need to start the 2 week pre diet on January 5th. I have shakes and I am ready, all I need are the vitamins for after the surgery and I am good to go!
