WOW so 3 yr mark already!

Jan 26, 2012

I cant believe I made my 3 yr mark geees it's come and gone. Im only a  month late so not too bad updating this time. Well Im betw 139-142. Im fluctuating at this point, and let Aunt Flo come then im up to 147lbs YIKES!!! But Im watching it so I cannot let myself get to 150 otherwise its gonna be too easy to get back to the 200's. Come hell or high water im not getting back big. EVER! Im happy that im not getting too big but I'd love to get back to 130 or less again. Although I was sick and going through alot when I got that small I still have it as a goal. Hope all is well with any and everyone who gets to read this. Im so poud of myself for getting this far and being able to keep it off this long. :) Another update for myself in just about a yr!

2+ yrs post op

Mar 20, 2011

Wow can't believe im here. Im still maintaining my loss. Its great because I havent been able to work out since my car accident last June, and w/a lot of family/life issues that have happened enotionally I've been drained. But my fam is my support if it weren't for my hubby and my kids Lord knows I would not be able to still be here today. Im between 129-135 it differs pending on the day. Im normally a sz 4 but wear some 2's and 6's. My stomach needs work but the hubby has approved tummy tuck is ok once I get totally healthy and recover from my heart issues. I plan on going ahead and trying to see if Tricare will even cover it although I dont think they will because Im not the "average skin"post op due to my age whatever. But all is well and Im still struggling with getting all of my protein in daily. I started at 238.6 day of surgery so Im very happy with my results and to this day wouldnt change a thing.

1 year surgiversary!!

Dec 10, 2009

WOW.. so its here finally hard to believe. Now time to start maintaining and watching closer..hmmm. Well Im losing abt a lb a month if that, considering im not eating strictly and gettin all the protein in as im supposed to be.  I havent worked out in 2 months since I moved from Ohio. Will start working out this week actually. I have to im getting soo flabby. But 6 seems to be the magic size 4's maybe pending on the make.  Im happy with the way i look and glad I made it to 130's. Im 137.6 as of tuesday my actual surgiversary. This journey has taught me alot, emotionally I cant say honestly that I thought I'd be happy about life 100% because i didnt but I did think that I'd be a little more positive abourt myself. I'd love a tummy tuck but if I dont it wont kill me. I plan on toning up and reshaping my butt which is nonexistent now. Not that I ever had much. At this point I 100% would recommend doing the surgery over and over again 100% it was soooo worth it to lose a 100lbs in a year. I couldnt have done it w/o it.

Just about 9 month update..

Nov 04, 2009

Well im only 5 days too early..so anyway this is just to show how far Ive come and where exactly I want to be. Im about 140lbs give or take pound pending on the time of day. Im happy at this weight..But yet I dont wanna get comfortable. I want to try and lose as much as I possibly can so that I can have some type of cushion(as funny as it may sound). I want to try to get down into the 130's that would be great, 120's would be phenominal but im not gonna die tryin to get there so we'll see. I havent worked out in over a month due to moving from one state to another. Moving sucks especially when youre a military spouse and do it all of the time. So im going to look at joining a gym this weekend.  I would love to have a a tummy tuck but I have a feeling the military wouldnt approve it because its not drastically bad. A butt lift would be great too..but i havent won the lotto yet.. My butt sags worse than a 90 year olds and sad thing is ive never had much to begin with it sucks thats what im most self-concious about now is my behind. How weird it used to be my weight. SO anyway Im feeling good...everything  seems to be on track. I have to get seen pretty quick due to the move I havent had my normal check ups, my labs came back from before the move and my Vit A is very low they seemed pretty concerned with that so hopefully it can be easily fied. Im taking everything im supposed to vitamins and calcium and willl soon be starting bcomplex. Iron was low-normal,calcium normal. Well hopefully I will have more to say by the 1 year mark.

Long overdue I know!!

Jul 03, 2009

Here's my 6+ moth update , actually im abt to hit 7 months next week. Im 161lbs my weight fluctuates so i try to only weigh myself about every week and a half. Im pretty much able to eat whatever I want BUT I still tend to watch what I eat I still dont drink w/ meals which Im proud of..because prior to surgery I never couldve thought of doing such a thing. I hope all of my December Surgery buddies are doing well....I got to the gym and workout doing cardio + weight atleast 3 times a week, this past few weeks has been pretty stressful we have military transfer orders so we'll be moving pretty soon. Well done for now..will update soon. Oh my goal is 148 so im not too far looking forward to that and at this point I can fit into a size 12 pending on the make.

My 3 month update

Mar 21, 2009

Hi all...Im down about 50lbs from day of surgery.  Im still doing ok..Im able to eat almost anything I just am staying away from sweets due to fear of dumping. I soo crave chinese food though but im scared to eat it. Im going to join a gym next week once I know for sure or not if we're transferring to Hawaii, so I just wanted to do a quick update...ive been still researching other procedures out there for some reason wanting to make sure that I did the right thing. But so far I think I did the right w/ the rny due to the fact its the gold standard.  I miss alot of foods and sometimes I get annoyed that I cant eat as much as I want BUT thats a good thing and im still full and/or satisfied. 188 and still slowly going down. Hope all is well

Im still craving fast foods...which sucks...and actually some sweet cravings came to me yesterday but oh well..I guess we ca all say bye bye to that forevere. Well Bye for now to all of my friends. Hope you all are doing well in your journeys....

Ok so as of month 2 im down 34.4 lbs..i know wow.. At first i was like wow its coming off super slow now i trhink im in lose mode or something. Energy hasnt chgd too much...but atleast I know it will in the near future until then just walks no hard core exercising for me..Much love to all of my december rny'ers I love u guys!!!!!!!!!
