I'm still doing great and look marvelous darling! Size 10 I'm comfortable in my skin, and healthy! I got down to a size 8 and looked very unhealthy, gained 10 back, and now feel wonderful!

I have updated pictures of what I look like now compared to 3 years ago... what a change!  Size 10 now, keeping weight down... and exercising feels great to be healthy.  The new photos are under "my other family" I think... lol I put them there by accident.  I weigh 185 pounds and feel good at this weight.  I got down to 172 and looked unhealthy.

I cannot thank my surgeon Dr. Nilesh Patel (San Antonio) enough.  He is indeed a miracle worker...  Having this surgery  changed my life, it saved my life, and I am eternally grateful for it.  I look younger, I feel so much younger, and it helped with my low back injury too.

If you are considering this surgery... warning:  It can cause you to look and feel great!

Wow its been a while since I've been here... I truly miss this!  I have only lost 3 more lbs.  I'm at 183, and on some crazy plateau.  I guess I need to leave the crackers alone, and exercise.  Then just maybe.. I would lose some more.... but I'm not trippin.  I still can't eat very much.  I eat 3/4 to 1 cup of food depending on what it is.  I still eat 4 times a day if not 5.  Trust me, it ain't much of nothing.  I do enjoy soup, beef jerkey, turkey bacon (one of my favorites), chili, and tuna.  Yum yum... I still drink protein shakes as well... I love my syntrax Nectar, Fuzzy navel and Roadside lemonade.  Oh, I'm in a size 10 comfortably... I think I lost more inches and the weight just hasn't fell off yet.  It happens strange like that, all of sudden bam.... 4lbs gone??? I don't get it either, I just hope it happens soon.

I really want to add some pictures, full body shots.... everyone thinks I'm so small, you're so little, you don't need to lose any more weight, you're tiny, look at you... I have heard it all, and it all sounds good to me...  Soon I will place pictures, I promise.  The big REVEAL is coming...

My husband said he wouldn't care if I didn't lose not one more pound.  He picked me up for the first time yesterday, and then he said, "you didn't think I could do that did ya".  I guess he's suppose to be "He Man" now... he can pick me up.  He's been wanting to do that for soooo long.  His little fantasy dream has come true now.  Now whats next??  I love my new me!  I dont have a lot of excess skin either.  I need to lose another 12-15 lbs, and I would be totally satisfied.  I am getting close to my 1 year anniversary... Dec. 30th.  Wow this year has went by sooo fast, it's unbelievable that I had that surgery almost a year ago.  God is truly amazing!  Thank you Jesus for saving me in more ways than one... until next time, peace!

I have learned something.... the spitting episodes I have are called:  Frolicking?  It happens when you eat too fast, or don't chew well.  That figures!  This only happens when I'm really hungary.  So, it makes sense. 

I will write more around the 3rd of Sept. or so... So, until then ciao! 

Wow, its been a  minute since I've posted.  I am currently 186, and still losing.  (slowly, slowly, slowly).  Seems like I'm averaging 3-4 lbs. a month, or less sometimes.

I am dumping right now from something I ate a little earlier (like an hour ago).  I tried to eat some chicken and I (get this...) tried to eat a little bitty piece of wheat bread, and two forks of greens.  For some reason, this was a horrible combination... I've been spitting ever since.  Thats what I do when I dump.  I used to get the "foamies", but now I just spit, and spit, and spit for at least an hour.  I even took a papya enzyme chewable.  They dont work as well as tums for me.  Tums will stop the acid production or something.

That's enough of that...  I'm now in a size "10".  It's great to go to the store and just pull off the rack a size "10" and slip it on, button it up, and zip!  Wow, I haven't been this size since highschool.  It's truly amazing.  My husband teases me all the time that I'm disappearing.  Oh, and that he's gonna roll over in the bed, and can't find me... yea right!  He's silly. 

Well just wanted to update since its been almost a month.  I will try to update a little more regularly, but then I wouldn't have as much to say or report.  So, until next time losers... or for those of you that haven't made it to the losers side.... its worth every bit of time, energy, and dollar spent.

I'm apparently having computer problems... so if you see words together its because of that????

Wishing you love, peace & prosperity.. in the highest of highs!

Well I'm so excited... I just had to weigh myself today, and yep.... I'm still losing!  I was 189.2 today.  It looks like the average I lose each month right now is about 5lbs.  It has slowed down alot, and I'm ok with that as long as I'm still losing.  My size 12's are getting looser and looser by the day.  All of the new one's I bought last month and prior.  Darn, you grow out of the clothes so fast!  I am so glad my daughter had surgery too, right behind me because she can wear all the clothes I can't.

God is sooooo good!  He allows us to experience things like this, and expects us to give him all the glory & honor.  So, I give God glory, and Honor right now in the mighty name of Jesus.  Thank you Lord for making this possible.

All things are possible to those who believe.  Just have the faith of a tiny little mustard seed.

I am so thankful and grateful for a supportive husband who also loved me and married me when I was heavy, morbidly obese, fat,  thick or whatever you want to call it.  He loved me for me, for who I was on the inside, not that I was that bad on the outside....  Having some one to support you is so important, and someone who isn't insecure with himself is a blessing.

My wedding rings have gotten so big, I have to go have them re-sized this week.  I have lost a total of 75lbs. so far so good.

Well for those of you who may be reading and dont have a date yet, or who do have your date.... its well worth the wait.  The results are phenomenal, and drastic.  It really does change your life for the better!  Well til next time.... Peace

I had my appt. yesterday, six months.  I was still 194, down 70lbs.  He said I was doing great!  and that I have lost 58% of my excess body weight.  My surgeon sure was happy.  Only one bad thing.... I have a hernia!  It hurts too when its stressed.  Its in the main port incision on the right side of my belly button.  

I weighed myself today, I couldn't help it, and I was 193 yea... I guess thats a small step in the right direction.  I haven't been able to eat much lately.  Not really hungary for anything in particular.  

Trying to do better taking my vitamins.  I bought some yesterday at the doctors office.  Bariatric Advantage... multi vitamin chewable berry flavor.  I also bought the iron, passion fruit.  It actually tastes good.  (My daughter needed that one)  She had surgery too, on Feb. 11, 2008.  It's so cool, I get to experience this with my adult daughter who is 20.  Were still debating who looks the best... of course I do since I had my surgery first.  

Well, til next time...

As of today, I am 195 and in a size 12 comfortably.  I'm still eating watermelon, but not drinking enough water I'm sure.  I gotta get better at that.  My husband made a comment today, he called me slim when we were leaving church, as though it were my new nickname.... kinda cute  "come on slim let's go"

As of today, I weigh 197.  I have lost a total of 67 lbs.  I am 5 months post-op.  I can eat just about anything and not dump.  However, breakfast type sausage gives me the foamies.  I try to stay away from starches and carbs.  However, I love water melon.  
Does this count as water towards my 64oz. goal???
