Mar 06, 2013
Well it has been 5 years 4 months since my surgery, my lowest weight was 168, Jeans 6/8 I could not believe i had lost that much weight, but here I am 5 years later, and have gained 63 lbs
I ask myself why in the world did I let this happen, I know that I have a food addiction, or I would have not gained weight in the first place, now I have to lose it, so on Monday March 4,2013 I went of solid food, and taking only meal replacements and Protein drink , it must be doing something, I have lost 4 lbs. now I have 59 lbs to go, I am going to do this if it kills me, Yesterday was a bad day for me, course it could be because I had the boys to take care of . and they do get on my last nerve, but they are only 2 and 6, and were stuck in the house because of the snow storm we had yesterday. Now today I do not have kids, and doing just fine. I will make this. I just need to keep my demons at bay, I do love food, mostly carbs. and sweets, after this week is over, there will not be any of them for me again. I have to lose this weight before summer,
Three years later
Oct 31, 2010
Hello friends It was three years yesterday that my life was changed, I am so happy that I had my surgery, the only thing I would have changed is I wish I had had it sooner.
I have gained some of the weight back, I was once 169lbs, today I am at 202, My god I never wanted to see 200's but before you know it, it was back.
I did get up to 211lbs, this made me sick. I did the 3 day pouch test this was hard as I did it over the weekend, with two parties to be at with all the foods I love, I did good, lost 3 lbs in 5 days . I guess this was better then gaining.
This is a surgery that I will have to remember that I still have to control what I but into my mouth and how much. the funny thing is that when I eat too much food I do not feel good. I know this but still can not stop.
Well last week I took back control of my body and what I am putting into it.
Well I will wish everyone a happy day and thanks for reading. I am going to try to keep up with what is going on in my life as I take the pounds off yet again.
I will not say this is forever because forever is a very long time and anything can happen.

A hard time, I have gained weight, I can eat sugar, which is my down fall, I had the rny so that I could not eat sugar not to eat it, that sucks, I have gained 28 lbs from my lowest, I need to get this under control and soon, I work a lot of hours, so for a fast and easy dinner we eat out or fast food, I am eating too much junk at work, now that I am doing more office work so I am sitting more then when I first started, I am taking on line classes for my associate degree in health care, we did get a pool up and doing some movement in it but not too much help if I am eating too much,

My only regret is that I waited so long to have it done.

I am scared of this surgery more then my RNY and I don't know why but maybe because with this one it is much bigger and that my body once again will be changing shape,

Today I am one year out and everything is going great,Looking back over the year so much has changed I am off all my med's other then my Arthritis med's, but no more HB, Diabetes and no more high cholesterol. My weight has went from my highest of 375 to 196 for a total lost of 178 lbs. my god that is the size of a adult male, well that is what my son in law weights. I went from a size 4 x shirts to a women's lg, or Jr's. XL and my pants from 3 x stretch and not able to wear jeans at all to size 16 non stretch jeans, So yea I love Dr. McClellan and my RNY, and new body, Well almost, love my new body, I do have so much hanging skin it looks like shit, but I am seeing a plastic surgeon next week to see if my Ins will pay for me to get it off, ,Other thing's that have changed, I am doing more like redecorating my house I can climb up on chairs now, climb up and down the stairs, sit in a booth, not have everyone look at me when I walk into a store or restaurant,I can fit in the airplane seats and the belts fits with extra strap, go to the movies and fit in the seat with extra room for my purse, get down on the floor and get back up again, I can walk through the stores with out getting tired, I can help hubby in the yard, clean my house with out sitting down every 5 min, I am just living life like a normal person, A person I never thought I could be, I look back and see pictures of my self last year and think my god why did l let my self get so big, what was I thinking,I am also so very thankful for my friends here on OH everyone has been so helpful I love each and everyone of you.

Jun 30, 2008
My weight is slowed down to just about a lot I weigh 225 I have lost 150 lbs a whole person which is great, I am off all my meds but just a few that I will always take, I feel great everyone says that I look good , Do I.?
Some days I feel pretty and little sexy and other days I feel like a fat slob I guess my head still needs to catch up with my new body, but when I look at myself and see all the hanging skin I think
how wants to see that,Don't get me wrong I love my RNY and would do it over in a heart beat but the skin has to go, Maybe next year.
I need to join a fitness club and start working out, hey maybe that is what I need? I told HD that when we get back for Vegas in Aug. I was going to join and start working out everyday, and swim and he is ok with that, Hell He does not care what I do or how much money I spend,
Well that is my 8 month update, Oh I am wearing a size 16/18 in shorts and xl in my shirts, I even got myself a new sexy bra it is black and lacy,
