Goodbye 100!
Aug 13, 2008
It's official! I am down 101 pounds from my heaviest weight. I weighed 149 pounds this morning! I am still in shock. I haven't been at this weight since I graduated from high school (24 years ago!) I could never in my wildest dreams have imagined this. I am so happy that I went ahead with the surgery. My bloodwork is now perfect (my doc says it is better than hers!) and I am no longer diabetic. My cholesterol is perfect, my blood pressure is perfect and my reflux is gone. I only take vitamins and the lexapro which I started after the surgery induced estrogen dump. That will be discontinued soon. Life is still life, but I feel comfortable in my skin for the first time in ages! Woohoo!!

Well, I am absolutely amazed. I wanted to be in the 170's by the time I go to the beach at the end of July. I made that goal and have passed it by about two months. Now I have set a new goal of 145 by beach time. I would never have believed it possible!!
Gosh It's Been a While!

Well, I am almost six months out now and am down about 87 pounds from my heaviest. I only need to lose about 12 more pounds to be where my surgeon wants me and my personal goal is only 25 pounds away. My surgeon said I would make it by nine months. I now weigh 162 pounds and I was just hoping to be at 175 before my family vacation in August. My mother always has us take a family picture, and finally, I won't be the fattest Rosazza on the beach! What a change six months can make. This has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. What a blessing!

I can't believe it has only been a little over a month, and I feel like a new person!! I am about 35 pounds down from my heaviest and I feel great! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I hope to lose lots more weight, but I am satisfied to feel as good as I do right now. If I never lost another pound, it would all be worth it.
Twas the Night Before Surgery...

This is my first post! I am having my surgery tomorrow. I report to the hospital at 7:30. I am very nervous, but committed to doing this. My health will just not suffer another 10 years of this. I am ready for a new journey, one that includes taking care of myself, in addition to everyone else. I am ready to be the person I was supposed to be before I got really messed up. So off I go...See you on the loser's bench!
Also, super special thanks to my angel, Letitia!! She's the best!! There's not a kinder, more caring soul out there!
