4 Years !!
Jan 11, 2011
Well here I am. I can't believe it was 4 years ago I had surgery. I am glad I did it and now I am struggling with eating. I am eating too much junk. I have gone up 16 pounds from 2 years ago. I have not exercised faithfully. I need to get my motivation back before I make myself sick. I have gone up a pant size and am sad I no longer fit into my 4's. I have a lot of tops that are tight and I look like I have a muffin belly. I won't do the skin removal but I know I have to back to doing something. Becaues I remember how bad I felt about myself. I will check in next year or maybe sooner. I need to do this for me !! I still am glad I can't eat like I used to as far as quantitys. I still get full but not when I graze :( I'll write again. I am not writing myself off..

3 Years !!
Dec 31, 2009
Well here I am. 3 years has almost passed me. I can't believe it has been 3 years. I am starting to have a struggle with carbs. I still hate to eat and tend to eat the same things.
I still am happy I had the surgery. I feel healthy. I must say I felt sick most of the time I ate. Or was it shame. Anyway I am not looking back. I am moving forward. I now need to figure out the new OH site and get a new picture on here. My granddaughter is now 3 1/2.
Have a great 2010 everyone !!

I need to update.
May 24, 2009
I have not been on my OH site in a while. I need to update photos and how I am doing. It is May 2009 and has been 2 years and 4 1/2 months since surgery. I still find it hard to eat food but am trying real hard to get in my daily protein. I just don't like to eat anymore. I don't enjoy the taste of food. I tend to eat the same things over and over day after day. I am going to try to change as soon as school is out for the summer. I will set up a new routine and see if I can follow it. When I saw Dr. Gens in Feb. He said I was doing really good. I am maintaining my loss and I guess that is all that matters. I still go up a pound sometimes two and the two days later it is off. I still weigh everyday and know that some people think this is extreme but I still think it keeps me in check. Whatever it takes...Right? I am going to try and change my avatar. I'll be around.

Still Hanging In There
Sep 07, 2008
Well it is now September and I still am going strong. I am now bouncing up a pound and down a pound. But I am not worried. I just know I need to be on my toes and NEVER get back into my old habits. I have started another year at school and find it so much easier to climb the stairs and get up and down off the floor with the students. We have a new granddaughter " Jordyn " she is now 3 weeks old. So 4 grandkids in all. I have so much energy and don't nap anymore. It is nice .... But I am ready for bed at night. I have noticed everyone is getting used to the way I look and I no longer get all the compliments like I used to. So it is a good feeling to get my life back to normal and feel like a normal person. Not a blimp. I need to take some new pictures. Even that is strange. I so used to hide from the camera but don't seem to mind it now. Enjoy fall.
Not Much New
Jun 02, 2008
Well I am still hanging in there. I still can't believe sometimes how happy I am. I just have so much energy now that I don't know how I used to survive with the extra weight I was carrying around. I have planted all the flowers and keep up with all the housework and still have lots more I look forward to doing. When the grandkids come around I love getting down and playing with them. It is still a little hard to get up but that is truly an age issue LOL. I love to shop and thought maybe I was a addict...but Tom said no.. I just need a whole new wardrobe. I am happy for all the people that have chosen this route as I know how GREAT they are going to feel. Well I guess all I have to say is.... Thank You God and Dr Gens for giving me another chance at life!!
Still Happy !!
Apr 06, 2008
Well it is finally Spring !!! I had my one year visit back at the end of February. It was scheduled for Jan. but I had to change the day due to work issues. Anyway... Dr. Gens said I was doing super. He was very pleased with my progress. I am still having a few issues of not wanting to eat any food as I feel it doesn't taste good. I tend to drink a lot of protein drinks and eat cheese. I am not a meat lover so don't eat it. I may have some chicken once a week. I am still stable in my weight and am trying to introduce new foods one by one. I never thought I would dislike food. I guess in time I will enjoy it more. Yes I have a fear of gaining but I really don't think that is what is making me not want to eat. I just have no desire to eat. I also still struggle to get in my water. I just have to keep trying. I bounce up a pond and down a pound. I am still at 105 pounds lost. So I am pleased. Skin is not too much of a problem. I don't get rashes but noticed the girls have gone south. But at my age I am just using a good support bra. I don't think I will opt for plastic surgery. Unless I had a lot of medical issues. Which I don't. Well this is my update. To anyone reading this know that this is the best decision I made for my health. It feels so good to be off my pills, shots, sleep machine and in smaller clothes also I know have more self esteem. I Love My Life !!!
It's Been One Year !!
Jan 13, 2008
I can't believe that a year has gone by. I am so grateful to my surgeon. I am so happy and so glad I did this. I am currently the same weight as a month ago. I am now down 104 pounds since my journey started. I am a size 4 pants and a size small/ medium on top. I lost 21 pounds before surgery and 83 since surgery. I didn't have as much to lose as some but it was still an experience. If anyone new is reading this and considering surgery I want you to know that I personally am so happy that I did this. I now wish I had done it earlier but guess that I just wasn't ready. You do need to be ready. All I can say is do your research and be informed and ready. Good luck all of my friends who I met along the way. I will be checking in once in awhile. Your Weight Loss Friend. Roxanne
Wow...

I finally am down to the 120's. I am now at 128. I feel great. Can't begin to say how thankful I am. Especially since I don't have to take medication anymore. Plus no more Sleep Apnea. I now wake up once at night and just turn over and go back to sleep. " unless I had too many fluids that day ! "
Down Another Pound !!
Dec 04, 2007
Well time is flying bye. Yesterday it snowed and I stayed in all day. I can't believe the energy I have this Christmas compared to a year ago. I worked all day setting out Christmas items and laundry and cleaning the house. Everything is shiney for the holidays. I also stepped on the scale yesterday and was happy to see I lost another pound. So now I am down 102pounds from my highest weight. 1 more pound and I will be in the 120's. I can hardly believe it. Now I need to accept the excess skin I am dealing with. Ho Hum !!
100 Pounds Gone !!!!
Oct 28, 2007
Well I finally hit my 100 pound loss a few days ago!!
I don't know if I qualify for a Century Card or if I have to have lost 100 since surgery. I will check it out.
I am very happy. I am taking it in small steps now. I would like to lose 7 pounds more loss for my personal goal. We'll see if I make it. Off to shop for a new item to celebrate my Long Hundred pound journey. Yee Haa !!
