 First year has gone and I have lost 116 lbs. I can not begin to express how this weight loss has changed my life. I can now do so many things I couldnt do before surgery. I can control my bladder.I can get up out of my wheelchair and walk a few steps. I can tie my shoes . My feet have quit swelling. I can wear normal shoes,buy my clothes at the store,and breath so much better. I can do so much for myself that other people use to have to do for me.

This surgery has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. It has given me back my self respect . I was so close to death before and now I feel so wonderful. Life is good.

 Now for one hundred more lbs. I know I will have to work harder to get it off. Im going to stay focused and remumber where I have come from. Thank You Dr Green for giving me my life back.

 302 Slowing down. uggg  110 lbs off....140 to go!!! I feel great!!

Weighted in at 310 lbs. That makes me 102 lbs. Yea!! Just 150 lbs to go ug. But Im excited.I have got to get rid of clothes that are to big. Was so much fun. Have been going for Physical therapy on my legs,which has helped a lot. Will have to have my knees replaced before my legs will straighten out. Sure do dread more surgery. I can walk 95 feet with a walker before I have to rest.

My labs were good. I am not loosing as fast as I was. I have got to watch my snacking.
I feel so much better than I use to. I am can do lots of thing I use not to be able to do. Like picking up stuff of floor. Putting on my socks . Have control over my bladder. My legs and feet hardly swell any more. I may get to have a pair of normal shoes. I can also buy clothes at walmart not. I still wear a 3x, pretty soon I will be able to shop in normal sizes.

Best thing I have ever done for myself.

Weighed today.318 down94 lbs sence May 13. I had a aahaa moment when I set down in a chair with arms and didnt have to squeeze into  it. Yea for me.Thearpy is helping my legs, but is painful. I guess no pain no gain  Was hoping to make it 100 lbs befor Christmas but I will have to do better than I have been doing   Merry Christmas all.

November 8--- weight 324 total of 88lbs.Im losing about 3 lbs per week. I am feeling so good. I am starting physical therpy for my knees. I will Have to have knee replacments eventualy, but right know they are trying to straighten out my legs which are bent at the knees. To much setting being to fat Has caused this.

Had my five month doctors appointment weight 333 that makes 79 lbs from high weight. almost under 300. I can do everything better. Going to make appointment to see about my knees. I hope to start walking again.My hair is still coming out.

Yea, I weighted yesterday and weighted 334, That is down 78 lbs from beginning. I am so excited cant weight to get under 300. I was low on Iron and b1 from my last check up. I had blood work done yesterday and will find out the results when I go to the doctor on the 17th. The iron makes me constipated. Have never had that problem before, so looking forward to hopfully doing something different. I also cant eat left over chicken or fresh if it is dry.Cant eat steak or roast or rice. Makes my tummy hurt. I can move around better, reach all my body parts, tie my shoes, I am so much happier. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself.

I weighted today and down to 347... that makes my down 65 lbs for my top weight...YEA!! I feel wonderful. I had my blood work done, I was a little low on B1 and iron . I changed my b complexx to super B complex and am having to take iron 3 times a day. Hope this will take care of it.
My hair is starting to come out. The doc says this is because of the rapid weight loss, Hope I dont lose to much. Ha, guess skinny and bald is ok. I sure will feel good any way.
I cant wait to see if I can get out of this electric chair. Well more later. I have to paint 3 paint squares for my friend.

I made it thru my first day of stage 3, I had a scrambled egg for breakfast and cottage cheese and pears for supper. Of course I mashed everything good with a fork. No trouble though.Sure tasted good to have something different.Have you ever notice how many hamburger commercials are on tv?
