I have made it to my 1 yr surgiversary! yay! I am down 116 pounds now and 11 pounds away from onderland. I hope I can make it! I am determined to get under 200 pounds! I am finding I can eat a little more so I have to step back and measure my foods better. I have a lot more energy then I used to which is great. On a lighter note my husband and I just became licensed foster care parents. We just got our 1st child in the home and she is 7 yrs old. She is keeping me very busy at this moment!


                                           

Hey everyone! I am doing well and 107 pounds gone! Weight loss is very slow but still losing. For my doctors goal I need 20 more pounds gone and for  my goal is another 40 pounds. I will get there eventually. I have a lot more energy now than I have ever had. I can eat a little bit more depending on the food, I just have to watch portion control. I am almost nine months out and the only thing I am low on is my b12 vitamin, which I am supplementing for. Just wanted to give an update.

This month has been a little frustrating with the scale but got through it. I lost a total of 91 pounds so far and I am just a little over 5 months post op. I have a lot more energy and finding that i can eat a little nmore than I am used to so I have had to seriously journal everything I eat. I am excercising 4 days a week and it gets easier by the week. I have only 9 more pounds to lose so i can get my century card and I cannot wait.

Wow, it has been a month already since I have updated! Well to start off, I am down 84 pounds and feel good. My 4 month lab levels were good and my cholesterol is 114 down from 180. So I was quite pleased. I have noticed though that the weight loss is getting slower by the week. I am losing inches so i am doing something right! Mt doctor and everyone is very pleased with my progress.One side effect of the surgery is that i am cold all the time. I am almost to the century club!

Wow, it has been almost a month since I have updated. I amd now down 78 pounds and feeling pretty well for the most part. I go for my 4 month post op blood work next week, to make sure my levels are okay. I have been exercising a lot more lately which is great. I am able to keep more food down now and most of my liquids. One thing that feels great is watching my clothes sizes go down! Hope everyone had a great new year!

Hi to everyone out there!! I am down 61 pounds since surgery and feeling pretty good. I am getting all my protein and almost all my liquids in. I am exercising about 3 times a week on the bike. One food i do have trouble eating is red meat because it does not digest very well. People at work are finally noticing the weight loss and it feels great to get those words of encouragement.Hubby has lost 45 pounds and he has not had the surgery, so we both are doing in different way but together. Hope everyone has a merry Christmas!!

I made it through Thanksgiving without gaining any weight! I thought it was going to be a lot harder than it was and it was a good day. I have lost 52 pounds in almost 2 months! I do feel a lot better and I am now getting in all the protein I need for the day. Still working on getting all the liquids in but I will work on this next. I exercise on my stationary bike for 30 minutes and each day I up the time a little bit. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. 

Well today was my first day back to work in 6 weeks. I am a little tired and sore which is to be expected. I think it work out fine with the new eating and drinking schedule I have made.I am able to get a little more protein and fluids in lately which is great. I have lost 50 pounds to date, which I am so proud of myself. It felt great that my employees were complimenting me on my first day back. A lot of people saw the difference immediately. So not meaning  I take each day in a new light, meaning I was given a second chance to be healthy and I am going to try my hardest to make this tool work fo me!!

Well it has been a while since I updated and wanted to write a little something of what I have been up to. I am finally feeling myself again after 5 weeks of recuperating and finding out what works for me and what doesn't. I have lost a total of 30 pounds since surgery and 40 pounds total since my heavest weight. I am very happy with my overall success. I do walk about 45 minutes a day which is not to bad. I survived halloween and wouldn't u know I did not receive one trick or treater, I was so surprised. I start back to work next week, and I hate to say it but I am happy to go back because u get bored at home after awhile. I have been eating about 2-3 ozs of food at each meal and getting about 50 grams of protein in a day. I get about 48 ozs of water of fluid in a day which is low I know but I am working on it. Well I will update in a few days!

Well been trying to fix my profile on the new website. I lost almost 20 pounds so far which is pretty cool. Still having a hard time with the protein and the fluid intake but I am plugging away at it. I have been walking more lately but not really having a lot of energy yet. I get tired very easy.
