Pre-Op BMI - 41.0
Post-Op BMI - 21.4
Well, I have a date of January 29th, 2004. I am very excited to get this show on the road. I am 42 years old. I weigh 234 and wear a size 18/20. I am 5'6". With a BMI of 40-41.
1-20-04
Just a little over a week till surgery. I go to the hospital tomorrow to have my pre-op tests done. Then on Friday I go see the Dr. for the last time before surgery. I am not nervous at all, in fact I am just ready to have it all over with.
2-2-04
I am 5 days post-op and I am doing great!! The surgery and hospital stay was not a nice thing to go through, but it is behind me now and I am looking to the future. I met a nice lady named Dee at the hospital, she is going to be starting a support group. I hope to attend when those meetings start up.
More later. I have not weighed yet.
2-9-04
It's been 12 days since surgery. I think I am healing fast with minimal discomfort. I still can't wait till I can sleep on my stomach. I seldom feel hunger. The only thing that's bad is that I can't tell when I am full. Maybe this will get better when I start eating solid food. I am getting tired of liquids. Even Cream of Wheat, which I love, is getting old. I weighed this morning and I have lost 14 pounds. Only 21lbs to go to reach my first goal!! Which is to be under 200. Woo-Hoo!!
2-18-04
I had my first check up with the Dr. today. He said everything looked great. I have lost a total of 19 pounds. I was a little disappointed that it was not more, but he seemed to think it was really good. He told me the key to losing more weight is to eat more protein. He told me to eat some protein every 2 hours. Which is just nearly impossible for me to do. I am still drinking a shake in the mornings which always makes me within the limits I need to take in. I asked him about having such a lack of energy. He told me it may be 2 or 3 months before I feel normal amounts of energy. I have no energy to do housework or laundry. I am sure getting behind. My incisions are looking good. The stitches are gone and they are just a red line now.
So far so good.
4-12-04
All is well here. It has been 9 1/2 weeks since surgery and I am doing great. I am still learning what I can and cannot tolerate as far as food. I have thrown up several times but it's not all the time, so I am grateful for that. I am now at 202. I had hoped to be under 200 by now, but the Dr. assures me since I was a "lightweight" to begin with that I am right on track. Funny I didn't feel like a lightweight!! I don't weigh everyday as I have found it is depressing. Also, I don't want to be a slave to the scales. I am doing what I need to do so it WILL come off eventually. I have gone down 2 sizes and am happy about that.
Till next time.
4-23-04
The weight is coming off slowly, so slowly. But, I guess the most important thing is that it is coming off. I am offically under 200. I weighed 197 this morning. I have reached my first goal. My next goal is not far behind. It is to be at the halfway mark which will be 189. Next week, on the 29th, will be the 3 month post op mark for me. I think I am doing really good for being just under 3 months post op. I haven't thrown up in a while now. Although, I have been fighting the food demons here lately. I know I am addicted to sugar and everyday I have an internal fight with myself about eating the darn stuff. If I just have a bite or two it doesn't make me sick. The trouble is I want more!! I just keep saying to myself over and over, "You can do it, you can do it!!" I am also making a prediction.... I think it will take me twice as long to lose the 2nd half of my weight. 3 mo. for the first 45, 6 mo for the last 45. Which will put me at 145 by the end of November. I guess, we'll see huh?
6-29-04
I didn't realize it had been so long since my last update. I am doing fine. I hit a plateau right after I posted last time and thought I was not going to lose anymore. I don't know what happened...I lost nothing for over 3 weeks. Then... like magic it started to come off again. I am now 5 months out and have lost 53 pounds. I weigh 181. I am comfortably wearing a size12.
I am still fighting the sugar demons. Maybe I always will, I don't know. I do get sick though if I eat more than a few bites of something sweet, especially on an empty stomach. All in all I think I am doing fine. I do not regret having this surgery.
7-29-04
I can't believe it has already been 6 months since surgery. Boy, time does fly!! I am doing fine. I have now lost 60 pounds. I am still in a size 12, they are getting loose and comfortable. I had really hoped to have lost more by now, but I am told I am doing really good. A fellow WLS friend told me that most people who have this surgery lose anywhere from 50-75% of their weight in the first 6 months and the rest over the next 6 months to a year. That would put me at 66%. So, I will not complain. If it takes me another 6 months to lose this last 30 pounds then so be it!! I can definately tell a difference in my appitite. I can eat a whole tuna fish sandwich or a small hamburger.My Dr. told me my new stomach would eventually double in size. I don't know if it has doubled or not, but it has stretched some. So far so good....till I remember to come update again...bye bye
9-15-04
I'm still alive!! Everything is going good. The losing part is so slow. I don't even lose a pound a week sometimes. I am weighing in at 166. Just another 21 pounds till I reach my goal.
I am wearing size 10, and last week wore a pair of size 8 slacks.
I have the dreaded bat wing thing going on. I could wear a size smaller top if it weren't for the ole bat wings. My next goal is to just reach 145 by my 1 year WLS anniversary. I am so happy to be a normal sized person again. Till next time!!
12-1-04
Everything is going good with me. I now weigh 157. The weight loss has slowed wayyyyy down. But, I have no doubt I will make it to my goal. I am wearing an 8 or 10. Size medium tops. I still have bouts of sickness if I eat the wrong things. Like today, I wanted a bowl of cereal so bad, since it has been a few months since I tried eating any I thought I would give it another go! Big Mistake. I am truly lactose intolerant now. Milk and Ice Cream make me so sick. Cheese is still ok though... I am so happy that I have had this surgery. I know my life would not be this happy had I not had it.
12-29-04
This will be my last entry this year!! It has been exactly 11 months today since surgery. I weigh 154. That is 80 pounds! I have 9 more pounds to go to reach my goal. I am mostly wearing a size 8 and some size 10's. Anything after that is gravy! We had a wonderful Christmas here at the McCarley house.We are helping to host a Progressive Dinner here on New Year's Eve. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and may you all have a healthy, happy, LIGHTER New Year!! God bless you!!
1-29-05
It seems hard to believe it has already been a year since I had WLS. I am down to 150 (Normal BMI) and I wear a size 8. I have not made it to goal yet, but that is just a matter of time. I am 5'6", I started out at 234, a size 18/20. I have changed my original goal of 145 to 135. I feel like this will give me a little breathing room. I think it is obtainable. I bought a size 6 pants a few days ago and they fit. I about had a heart attack, I couldn't believe it. I am now wearing my Lucky Brand jeans that I had been saving to wear as my "goal" pants and I think they will be too big when I actually get to my goal. :)
2-28-05
Wow! It has already been 13 months since surgery! Where has the time gone? I am feeling really good and have not had any problems to speak of... I can eat just about anything. I very seldom "dump" or throw up. I don't know if that is a good thing or not. I sometimes wish I had more of a deterant to stay away from things I should not be eating like cake and chocolate. I weigh 146, STILL not at goal. Close, so close. I am not really stressing about it though. I went on a cruise with friends and family and did not gain anything so I am happy about that! I still would like to get down to 135. I think it will happen, I just don't know how long it will take. I have a friend who is looking into WLS. I hope it all works out for her. She is young and I think it would change her life for the better. I wish I had done this years ago. Well, that's all for now! Wish me luck on making my goal!!
3-29-05
I am trying to remember to come here and update once a month. So far so good. I am still doing fine. It has taken me a lot longer to get to goal than I thought it would. Although I have not really done anything to "tweek" my diet to make it happen. I made it to 145 on March 23rd. I now weigh 143. I just have 8 pounds to go. My husband told me this past week that he did not want me to lose any more weight. He thinks I am beginning to look too thin. I told him as long as I felt okay, I really wanted to try to reach the goal I had set for myself. I didn't have this surgery not to reach my goal. I am pretty tired as I have cooked and worked at the church for 10 days with the Master's Commission group here from Missouri. They left Sunday night after church. Well, I guess that's all my news for this time.
7-27-05
I haven't updated in a while... Well, it looks like my body really likes the 140's. The lowest I have gotten is 140, but my weight is hovering at about 141-143. It is very frustrating but to be honest I have not done anything to really try to lose the rest. It doesn't just fall off like it did the first year or so. I am wearing size 6 and 8's. I feel really good and if I don't get down to 135, well, it won't be the end of the world. Although, I would LOVE to at least SEE 139. I am working two days a week and loving it. It is just nice to be around other adults and get out of the house. I really need to go see my PCP and have blood work done and then I know I need to start working on taking my supplements like I should be doing. The spray vitamins I am on are not enough and I know that, so that is my next goal after the kids get back to school. Life is good and I am so happy that my husband and God allowed me to have this surgery so that I could lead a normal healthy life. It is so nice to feel good in my body.
That's all for now,
till next time.......tata
9-12-05
I know, I know, it has been a while since I've updated again. I have just been busy, busy! I now weigh 137 and have 2 pounds to go to reach my goal!! How neat is that? I think it will come off I just don't know how long it will take. I am wearing a size 6, most 8's are too big. In fact, I have a skirt and 2 pairs of jeans that are a size 4. My ultimate goal is 129. I really don't even know if my body can go that low, but secretly, that is what I want to weigh. I have started taking many suppliments. Iron, Cal w/mag & D. Super B complex, B-12, and multivitamins. It is a lot, but I want to stay healthy. I am planning on adding potassium this month too as I am having a lot of cramps in my feet. I am hosting a "Murder Mystery Dinner Party" this Friday night. It should be loads of fun. Oh, my daughter was accepted into UT/Austin. So, as of January I will have 2 at UT. I must be getting old. We are having a Luau here in October too. So, as you see, busy, busy! I haven't been to my PCP to have bloodwork done yet, but, I hope to go and have it done this month. Other than that...all is well!
Until next time...
10-11-05
This is the week of the Luau and I am going crazy with all that I need to get done. I weighed in at 133 this morning. I made it to goal on October 2nd!! And am now on my way to my ULTIMATE goal. I went to my PCP and had my blood work done. Everything came back very good. I was relieved since it has not been done since a couple of months after surgery. I also went to a new GNY and had all the female work done, it's been since 98 that I had that done. They had a "finding" in my Mammogram so I have to go and have some more tests done. I plan to do that next week after the Luau stuff is finished. I am not worried at all since I just had all my bloodwork done and it came back good. As you can see, life is busy for me. And good, I am so happy I had this life changing surgery. I feel "normal" and happy.
11-11-05
All is well. The finding in my mammogram was just dense tissue. It's all good. I was happy about that. My DH and myself and my parents just got back from a week in San Diego. It was a beautiful place. Of course now DH wants to retire there! LOL! The luau was a big success. There were around 50 people here. Well, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I can't believe it, it is still so hot here in Texas. I have not even started my Christmas shopping. I know what I am doing for almost everyone on my list. My dh, kids and parents are the big ones I have to shop for. As for weight, I am now at 131. I am hoping to reach my 129 goal by my 2 year WLS anniversary of 1-29-06. I will be happy with that. I am a size 4/6. It is still so hard to wrap my mind around that... I am happy with life. "Buckley" my sons band is doing VERY well, he has another show tomorrow night. Look for his band to be famous guys. I kid you not.
Until next time...
1-29-06
Today is my 2 year WLS anniversary. It does not seem possible that it has already been 2 years. I weighed in this morning at 129.
If you had asked me 2 years ago if I thought I would weigh 120 anything I would have told you no way. But here I am and I do. I am doing wonderful and have had no problems to speak of. I still dump and still make myself sick from time to time, but, it is my own doing when that happens. I am so happy to look and feel normal and to be able to do so much and just to be able to wear cute clothes. I would not trade this for anything. God has been so good to me and I am so Thankful.

I am doing great. We are officially empty nesters around here and it has been so quite. I'm not sure if I like it yet. My two kids that are in school in Austin will be home this weekend. Tomorrow is my daughter's 19th birthday. We will be celebrating with her Friday night. Then Saturday night we have a Valentine's Banquet at church. We met our oldest son's new girlfriend last week. We really like her. She is very sweet, cute and outgoing. I am so happy for him. My weight is now 126. I like being in the 120's although I have to admit I might be a little too skinny. I don't think the 120's will be a permanant thing. I am in size 4. I have no desire to be any smaller. It is just the weirdest thing to me to weigh 126 and be a size 4. I am 5'6" and very thin. I can see my hip bones now. Weird.
Till next time~
3-16-06
Well, I am back into the 130's. My body could not maintain in the 120's. Which is fine with me. I felt a little puny being that low. Things have been busy around here. Pastor Mike left yesterday to move to Arizona. I will sure miss him in the office. My kids are home for Spring break this week. We went yesterday and got their passports for Europe. Becky is coming next week for her yearly visit. I am looking forward to spending time with her. I really need to get my house clean. I will work on that next week after the kids go back to Austin. I still have not finished painting the den. I have lost all my motivation to get things done. I think I may be suffering from a mild case of depression. But, when I try to talk to dh about it he just thinks I'm being silly. I find myself reverting to old eating habits. And it is a little frightening and a lot disgusting. I am eating out of boredom and lonliness and I am worried that eventually it will catch up with me. I am weighing everyday. 135 will be my top weight, if I go up that high I will do whatever it takes to get back to 130. I hate that I am having to watch myself like this... but I cannot ever go back to what I was before WLS. I will not!! Well, this update was a little of a downer, hopefully next time I post things will be a little brighter, happier, cheerier!!

And good, I am so happy I had this life changing surgery. I feel "normal" and happy.

All is well. The finding in my mammogram was just dense tissue. It's all good. I was happy about that. My DH and myself and my parents just got back from a week in San Diego. It was a beautiful place. Of course now DH wants to retire there! LOL! The luau was a big success. There were around 50 people here. Well, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I can't believe it, it is still so hot here in Texas. I have not even started my Christmas shopping. I know what I am doing for almost everyone on my list. My dh, kids and parents are the big ones I have to shop for. As for weight, I am now at 131. I am hoping to reach my 129 goal by my 2 year WLS anniversary of 1-29-06. I will be happy with that. I am a size 4/6. It is still so hard to wrap my mind around that... I am happy with life. "Buckley" my sons band is doing VERY well, he has another show tomorrow night. Look for his band to be famous guys. I kid you not.
Until next time...

Today is my 2 year WLS anniversary. It does not seem possible that it has already been 2 years. I weighed in this morning at 129.
If you had asked me 2 years ago if I thought I would weigh 120 anything I would have told you no way. But here I am and I do. I am doing wonderful and have had no problems to speak of. I still dump and still make myself sick from time to time, but, it is my own doing when that happens. I am so happy to look and feel normal and to be able to do so much and just to be able to wear cute clothes. I would not trade this for anything. God has been so good to me and I am so Thankful.

I am doing great. We are officially empty nesters around here and it has been so quite. I'm not sure if I like it yet. My two kids that are in school in Austin will be home this weekend. Tomorrow is my daughter's 19th birthday. We will be celebrating with her Friday night. Then Saturday night we have a Valentine's Banquet at church. We met our oldest son's new girlfriend last week. We really like her. She is very sweet, cute and outgoing. I am so happy for him. My weight is now 126. I like being in the 120's although I have to admit I might be a little too skinny. I don't think the 120's will be a permanant thing. I am in size 4. I have no desire to be any smaller. It is just the weirdest thing to me to weigh 126 and be a size 4. I am 5'6" and very thin. I can see my hip bones now. Weird.
Till next time~

Well, I am back into the 130's. My body could not maintain in the 120's. Which is fine with me. I felt a little puny being that low. Things have been busy around here. Pastor Mike left yesterday to move to Arizona. I will sure miss him in the office. My kids are home for Spring break this week. We went yesterday and got their passports for Europe. Becky is coming next week for her yearly visit. I am looking forward to spending time with her. I really need to get my house clean. I will work on that next week after the kids go back to Austin. I still have not finished painting the den. I have lost all my motivation to get things done. I think I may be suffering from a mild case of depression. But, when I try to talk to dh about it he just thinks I'm being silly. I find myself reverting to old eating habits. And it is a little frightening and a lot disgusting. I am eating out of boredom and lonliness and I am worried that eventually it will catch up with me. I am weighing everyday. 135 will be my top weight, if I go up that high I will do whatever it takes to get back to 130. I hate that I am having to watch myself like this... but I cannot ever go back to what I was before WLS. I will not!! Well, this update was a little of a downer, hopefully next time I post things will be a little brighter, happier, cheerier!!
