My Surgery Anniversary was yesterday. I feel I have not accomplished what I thought I would, due to my  own failures and having a stricture fixed early on.( Start weight of 230, weight today between 158 and 165) The surgery is a wonderful TOOL, but anyone who thinks it is anything but that, is fooling themselves. It is hard work, needs life changes to make it work, and is NOT a miracle in itself - the changes we implement to make it work are truly the miracle. It was NOT easy, and is not fail safe. I feel stupid and naive to have believed it would solve everything, and I would lose more than I actually "worked" for.

I have "met" some wonderful people that have been one of the surprise side gifts of having this surgery. The regular posters here, "egg face" a blogger who is one of the OH staffers here, and many more who are so supportive. They have been so wonderful to/for me.

Thanks for sharing and allowing me to share!!!

After my daughters wedding I weighed in at 160!!!! I was soooooooo happy, no budge in the scale forever.
Then today , after swimming ect. weighed in at 162.2
I am beyond discouraged!!!
POOP POOP poop.

Today I am at 163. Before BM....lol

Well, today I am up some pounds!! From 159 to 165. This sucks so badly.
I need a kick in the pants, a boot in the ear, AND a major massive change to get me back on track.
YIKES

Today, after many many months of not losing a pound, I am at 158.6!!!!! That means 18 pounds to goal!!!! Yipee!

Finally, after having everyone sicker than dogs here, I have lost almost 6 lbs!!!!
"Just one stomach flu from a five lb loss". Shhesh horrible way to do it.

I am stalled. Definately at a stand still. I haven't been exercising as I should and need to step that up to start loosing again. Been at 170 since December. I have not gained any, but haven't lost any either. People have lost much more than me and I am getting frustrated, but know it is under my control, and my "fault". So, kick me in the butt, here I go....

Thanksgiving was NOT about food this year. Still had to cook it, and clean up after it. BUT, I did not eat (gorge) much this year!!!! I have lost about 73 lbs so far. I have posted pics - which I have never in my adult life ever done without much coersion. I am sad somedays, angry others and happy most. I have gained insight, lost weight and hair and made some friends.  I am thankful. 

Well, after all this time I find out my problems might be caused by a stricture. Have surgery scheduled for October 30th. I cut all my hair off, loosing it was very painful. Went from having 4 ft long hair to inches worth, but my hubby loves it!!!??!!
What a journey this has been. Loss of 64 lbs so far.

Well, its been awhile. 
Things are getting much better. I still blow eats most days, cannot drink shakes (its been days...) but I feel half way normal. I can go to school and work and actually not feel like I am gonna bust guts...lol
Its gonna be ok. 
I have lost about 48 lbs and my hair is falling out, my fault for not drinking the shakes.
