My doc said if i go down to 140 that will be great which i still have 24 pound to reach that goal but like to get down to 125-130 where i should be for my height and bone structure. I appriciate iif anyone has some ideas to help me get to my goal. I go back to see my doc in Nov. and would likme to be down to 140 by that time. I am getting all my proteins in. But need help to get the wieght down still with exercise thats not bad on my back  and knee. Thanks for listening and for any help you could give.

Nine Month six days post op

Feb 23, 2012

hi everyone! I am now 9 month 6 days post op and i am 181 pounds which is amazing cause i never could lose so much weight in such little time. I  tried on my size 14 pants and i did get them on and zipped but they are tight so need to lose little more for them to fit comfy. Since my surgery i had many problems with my back which that will  never go away, but one thing that wont happen again is passing galstones which caused me to have pacratitis. Jan. 27th i had my galbladder out and for that part i feel much better. Next week feb. 29th i will be having a total knee replacement on my right knee. I am hoping after i recover that i will be able to dance at my wedding which wont be till sometime next year. I dont want to make plans till I really know that everything is ok, so i can be able to do more exercises and do things without having so much pain. I know my back pain wont go away cause i have buldging disc, pinch nerves ands degenerative desease in my back too. Right now the pain has been managed with pain meds. and my pain doc i been seeing feels as long as its being managed then to stay with it cause the other option as for now is shots but they dont last long enough to have them and painful to have them too.  Sorry for raging about myself. Hope everyone is doing well. Tried to upload a recent pic but need to make it smaller so it will fit . When i get that done i will be posting some.

little over 7 month post op 12/27/2011

Dec 27, 2011

i just added a pic that was three days ago. i am now in a size 16 from size 22/24 which is amazing. I get compliments all the time from my friends and from my doctors i see. but the size 16 is starting to get little loose on me so one of my daughters bought and my sister in law bought me a size 14 jeans so i have something to go by besides the pair i bought before the surgery to give me something to look foward to. looking fowrad to being thinner as i am on my jounery for healthier life.

5 month post op

Oct 22, 2011

hi I am now 5 month post op and doing great . I started this journey at my highest weight of 269 and on surgery date 254.4 now i am at 204. I think its slow but any weight I lose is better off than on me. people have been commenting on how good I look and that does make me feel good. Tomorrow October 23rd is my 47th birthday and i am happy with my wonderful man. We got engaged Dec. 3rd, 2010 and he sure has been the best thing that happened to me since the birth of my kids. Some friends of ours invited me to their home today to celebrate my birthday. they masde lasanga and apple pie. Of course I did not eat any pie cause i told them i only eat anything made with splenda not sugar. beside after eating what i could of the lasanga i could not eat another bite and i never force myself to eat anything. I had just a small portion and could not finished it all. Before the surgery i would have probably ate a huge portion and go for more.  I am so glad that I am not that same person and enjoy my new journey.  I go next month for my 6 month post op and hope all the test they be doing comes out well. I think I am doing good but blood work may say different. I like to thank everyone on here for helping me through my journey with all the postings. good luck to everyone on their journey.
