100 pounds gone!!!
Jan 30, 2009
So I said the next time I blogged it would be when I was 100 pounds down and it took this long to get there, but Im here and boy is it nice. I finally made to the hundred pounds lost club and it is nice. Im in size 14 bottoms, and 14/16 tops. I have not had any complications up to this point and I hope that continues. I see my surgeon on February 13th, and will get my labs done then as well. I am just so excited to be here at this point and with less than 45 pounds to goal. This surgery amazes me every day and I am so grateful I was able to have it.

Adjustment to Goal Weight
Sep 09, 2008
So I have been thinking lately about my goal weight and what it should be. I think originally I may have had some unrealistic expectations and now have adjusted my goal weight to 125. I dont think I would have gotten to my original goal weight before plastics, and I am still not to sure that I want all plastics done. With that being said I am halfway to my goal and that is an amazing thing. When I first started out, I didnt think I would see the light at the end of the tunnel but now it is so much clearer and in sight. To all the newbies and people just getting started, you can do this. I am living in a dream world right now and I dont think I want to wake up.

Sep 07, 2008
I am proud to report today that I am just OBESE. I am so happy right now and coming from someone who was first SMO then MO, Obese is just wonderful. I look forward to years to come because it can only get better from here. I thank everyone on OH to my continued success. I have learned so much from people here and am thankful everyday for my RNY surgery.
ONDERLAND!!!!
Aug 30, 2008
I DID IT!!!! I DID IT!!!!!! Wonderland feels good and Ilike it here and am proud to say that I am here to stay. Im glad I made my deadline to be in Onderland by Memorial Day. I am so grateful for this surgery each and every day, it seems like there is a little more I can do each day. I have noticed a pattern with my weight loss. I tend to lose more the last week of the month than I do the whole month, I dont understand why but I noticed the trend a couple of months ago. I really don't care how it comes off though just as long as it does. Gosh my heart is just so overjoyed right now and Im in tears as I am typing this because I feel as if I finally have arrived, it has been so long since I have seen a 1 in front of my weight. Thanks for reading my blog.
WOW moment
Jun 30, 2008
Well yesterday I went shopping for a few things as my clothes will be falling to the floor soon. I was able to pick up some 18's and I was so happy about that coming from a size 24. I also bought a bathing suit in an 18 and it is a Tankini and is sooo cute. Im going to the beach end of July and will have to take lots of pics. I am so excited about the new clothes and smaller sizes....
2 months out of surgery
Jun 16, 2008
Well I am currently 2 months out of surgery and feeling pretty good at this time. I have had a couple of wow's such as crossing my legs and cleaning my house top to bottom without getting winded nor sitting taking a rest in between floors. This is a big deal for me as before I would have had to take a break in between time but I did it this time without thinking. I am extremely proud of myself and everything I have accomplished so far and only know that this journey will get better as the days go on. I am pressing on towards Onderland and am hoping to make it there by July 24th as I am taking a beach trip then and want a fly bathing suit to take with me. Anyway that is my update for now. I hope everyone is enjoying their journey and God Bless.
7 weeks and 5 days out
Jun 07, 2008
I know I am a few days late and was trying to do my measurements the same time every month, but its better late than never right? Well here it goes:
Neck: 15 inches
Right Thigh: 27 inches
Left Thigh: 27 inches
RIght Calf: 15 inches
Left Calf: 14 1/2 inches
Right Arm: 15 2/5 inches
Left Arm: 16 inches
Right Ankle: 11 inches
Left Ankle: 11 inches
Waist 47 inches....
As you can see I have lost a few inches in the past month, but I have lost quite a few pounds as well. I am pleased with my weight loss thus far and heading towards my goal to be in Onderland by July. I think that is quite attainable as long as I keep on the path I am on now.

4 weeks and 5 days
May 17, 2008
So I am finally one month out of surgery. I feel pretty good and am excitedly waiting for my energy to return. I think that is the only downside at this point. I am thrilled with my weight loss so far and I know once I kick up my exercise I will make more of an impact. I added some one month out pics to my profile, but I cannot really see a difference. I imagine it is probably going to take 75 to 100 pound loss for me to see a difference. It is great to eat 2-3 bites of something and be satisfied. I dont think I ever felt that in my life. I cannot make it into onderland and that will be my first goal. So Onderland here I come, Im sure enough ready...
2 weeks and 3 Days Post Op
May 01, 2008
Well I am updating my profile with a stall post. So I have been at the same weight for 2 days now but do realize that most people go thru a stall early out so I was expecting it. I decided to start with my measurements now, I wish I would have done them before but better late than never. So here goes:
Neck: 15 inches
Right Thigh: 28 inches
Left Thigh: 27 inches
Right calf: 18 inches
Left Calf 17 inches
Right Arm: 18 inches
Left Arm: 17 3/4 inches
Right Ankle: 11 inches
Left Ankle: 11 inches
Waist: 48 1/2 inches
So what I have noticed is that my right side is slightly bigger than my left side. Oh well I know my waist has shrunk, I do remember pre op it was 54 inches in the doctors office so I will do my measurements once a month to see changes that way. Everything else has been going pretty well. I am eating approx 2-3 ounces of protein every 3 hours and finally today was able to get in 68 ounces of water. That in itself was a big improvement. I was concerned about getting water in early out and the NUT said not to expect to be able to get in all 64 ounces until 6 weeks out. But I have been trying to push as much as possible. Anyway that is my update on me.

Random Thoughts and Nervous Energy
Apr 01, 2008
Well I am sitting with idle time right now and thought I would blog. I have 12 days to go and am anxious and nervous. I have made peace with my decision to go forth and am comfortable with my decision. When I think about my kids I know they are really my reason to get healthy. They deserve much more than what they are getting from me right now, due to my inability to run around with them. I promised them this summer would be a summer for coming out for everyone and I do intend to keep that promise. I am really looking forward to getting on with this journey and the start of a new life. This is my second chance and I do not intend to take advantage of life this time, I am learning new habits each day to apply to my post op life. It is not going to be easy but it must be done. I thought I was going to enjoy my last mean of wings but it didnt even appeal to me so that must mean something. Well Im counting down the days to starting over. WhoooHooo
