Hello everyone,
Sorry I haven't posted in so long. It has been a little busy here. We are all doing great. I am 31 weeks pregnant with a girl. Her name is Hannah Grace. Bailey is soooo excited. I think I am more excited for her than I am for myself. Because I had a c-section with our first child I have to have one with this one. I found out today that unless I go into labor on my own my c-section date is Tuesday October 6. I am so excited to see her!!!!
As far as weight goes I have gained 16 pounds thus far. At first I was a little scared but now I'm alright with it. After a year and a half I have finally experienced the much dreaded vomiting with dumping. It had nothing to do with my being pregnant. The first time I ate way too many Sunchips and the second time I ate way too many Doritos. I still struggle with the full feeling. It's like it's finally sinking in that I need to pace myself. I knew it would catch up to me sooner or later.
Anyway, my pregnancy has gone pretty good. No complications thus far. However, I was told that this pregnancy would be a lot different because of the bypass and they were 100% right.  When I was pregnant with my first daughter I never really got nauseous. I also never aches and pains. I was never uncomfortable. With this one I have experienced every pregnancy symptom known to man. I know it has to be because of the surgery. I get sick to my stomach really easy. I am nauseous almost everyday. Other than that everything is great!
I'm sorry for missing so many meetings. I keep forgetting about them until the next day. I do plan on going to the next one on August 23. I miss everyone.
Well, I hope you all are doing well!
God Bless

Well we are finally pregnant!! We conceived this one on our own without the help of fertility medications. I have PCOS and have never had a normal cycle since before my surgery. Thanks to the miracle of this surgery I have become a "normal" woman. We are expecting approximately October 28th. I will keep you all posted as to the details and how I am doing.
God Bless!!!!

Hello all. It has been some time since I posted but I am okay. I have lost 113 lb and am hoping that I am not putting any back on through the holidays. The same old demons are back. I am having the same feelings about food that I had before surgery. It's all I think about. It's scary. I know I won't ever get to where I was but I am afraid of gaining anything back. I knew the psychological crap would never really go away (we didn't have surgery on our brains). But I guess I just wasn't ready for feeling and thinking like that again.

Well I have finally lost 100 lb. Well actually it's 103 lb. I lost the extra few pounds due to a wierd 3 day dumping. I'm not sure what happened exactly. This is pretty gross but here goes. A week and a half or so ago I ended up with diarrhea that lasted for about 3 days. I know I wasn't sick and I never lost my appetite. However, I did lose about 6 pounds in three days. Anyway, the poops have stopped and I have plateaued again at 175lb. I'm pretty sure that I had some weird form of dumping but I'm not sure why or if it even was dumping.
Also, I have been having a hard time with craving sweets. I can't help myself. I know I can control it and I will but I have noticed that I crave more around my period. It's driving me crazy!!!!
Anyway, hope everyone is well and God Bless!!

Well I have hit my first plateau. I knew I would eventually. I only need to lose one more pound to have lost 100 lb. I keep fluctuating between 179 and 182. Oh well. I am pretty happy with where I'm at. How is everyone doing? Pretty good here! I just need to get my ass movin'. I have a gym membership and have hardly used it. I know I need to start movin. Anyway, I hope everyone keeps in contact and keeps us all informed as to their progress!
God Bless!!

Well I finally hit 180 lb. I can't believe it!!  I have NEVER been this small in my life!!! Only 2 more to go to have lost 100 total.
I have been doing good!!! I graduated from Bowling Green State University on August 9. Now I am busting my butt to find a job!! If anyone knows of any positions open around in or around Ohio let me know!! I graduated in Sociology with a minor in Psych. I also have an Associates in Criminal Justice (For those who know of any open positions)

I also had some really good compliments lately. Today I went to friend's son's b-day party. I only see her and her family 2-3 times a year and her step-mom, who has known me for 20 some years asked my friend who I was. That was awesome!! Then my husband works with a guy named, Fred. Fred hasn't seen me since last December, 2 months before surgery. A couple weeks ago their work sponsored a car in a race and we were all there. I noticed that Fred kept looking at me funny but I didn't think nothing of it. So last week he went to my husband and said, "I hope you don;t get mad but your wife is hot". I was so shocked and overjoyed that I couldn't stop thinking about it. I have always been the fat girl that was good for the laughs and the jokes. I have never been looked at like that before. It feels sooooo good!!! 

Well I weighed myself today at the doctor's office and I am now 185 lb. I have 5 more to go to get my main goal of 180. I think the biggest goal will be to be down to 178 lb so that I have lost 100 lb. Can't wait.
I am having trouble with snacking on bad foods. I have had a huge craving for nacho Dorritos lately. I have also been having a hard time resisting sugar. I will control it!!!!
Anyway, we are doing great! I will also be graduating from Bowling Green State University this Saturday (August 9). I can't wait. I have already applied for two probation officer positions. I pray I get atleast an interview. Pray for me!!

I have posted some new pics of me thus far. I weigh about 193 lb. Everything is still going great!! I hope everyone else is well.
God Bless!!

Yay!!! I am in Onderland. I have lost a total of 83 pounds since the start of the pre-op liquid diet. I now weigh 196 pounds. I haven't been below 200 since Junior high school. 
I also saw my father-in-law's girlfriend for the first time since my surgery. When she saw me she said, "Oh my God!!!" Then she gave me a huge hug and told me that I looked so good. That was nice to hear. She gave me the reaction that I was hoping to hear. It felt wonderful!
Anyway, I just wanted to update!! 
The meeting last night at the hospital went really well! We had a good time. It was so nice to see everybody that I haven't seen in a while.

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. I have been so busy with trying to get through this summer semester at BGSU. I have one class that is giving me a hard time and have to pass to graduate in August. 
Anyway, I weighed myself the other day and I am down to 201 lb. I can't wait to be under 200. I haven't been under 200 since I was in early junior high school. So so far I have lost 77 lb (since the start of the 2 week pre op liquid diet. And I feel fantastic!!!!!!!!! It's weird to see people that haven't really seen me since before my surgery. They are totally surprised. I haven't seen my father-in-law's girlfriend since before my surgery. I can't wait for her reaction!
Also, I found out that I cannot eat icecream. Even after only 2-3 bites I start to feel nauseous. Other than that I can eat almost anything. I still don't eat hardly any sugar. Once in a while I have a piece of candy or a bite or two of a cookie. Also, I still haven't thrown up at all since surgery. Thank God!! That's not saying that I haven't wanted to though. 
Anyway, I am almost to Onederland. I can't wait!!
God Bless!!
Angie
