I am 20 months out and have lost 177lbs from 338 to 160.2 this past month has been a huge struggle. The whole month of April I lost a total of 1lb.....which is better than gaining a lb but still is not an easy pill to swallow!!!! My pouch is still there I am consuming small amounts of food I am sure the malabsortion  stopped working at a year.  I'm just not sure what I am not doing right.  I am following myfitnesspal.com staying within the calorie and carb levels....my protein is still very low.....Im still working on getting enough protein in, I love the new me and wouldn't change having this surgery for any amount of money in the world. My goal is still to reach 150 then have the excess skin removed...

Went to PCP today I weighed in at 171.8 with shoes on,,,, that is 166 lbs gone forever!!!!!! He asked me my goal I told him 150 he said that would be way too small for me especially after I have my skin removed , he figures 12 to 20 in skin told me I need to start working on maintaining  my weight instead of losing anymore....So far everything is gong pretty smooth other than a kidney infection right now soo I am a happy camper...I am on facebook Teresa Bevins Tilley if anyone wants to friend me there as I am not on here much anymore...TTYL

Wow...1 year ago today I made the biggest and best decision of my life!!!!! I have lost 153lbs, went from a size 32 to a size 14!!!!!!! This past year has been a roller coaster ride for me, I have 2 new grand babies, seperated from my husband of 20 years, was served with divorce papers, had a boy friend, rekindled my marriage, and lost a whole person!!!!!! This has not been a easy road but in the end it has been soo worth it!!!!! I love me and my new life.....

Went to the Dr this morning.....I now weigh 236!!!!!! I am now wearing a size 18, I for sure have not been this size since I meet my husband 20 years ago, So much in my life has changed, I am a smaller size but when I look in the mirror I still see me, My bff gave me a picture from last August I have to say I didnt realize I was so big, I mean I knew I was a big woman and always have been but I didnt see myself as a huge woman I am so upset at myself for letting me get that out of control.....and now I am scared to death that once the wls stops working and its all on me that I will gain back the weight, I just pray that I can learn to control the urges to eat and the depression eating.  I now love my by-pass, I think it's so funny when my pouch talks, lol I love going and trying on clothes, I love walking and breathing at the same time, I love chasing my 2 yrs old grandson around the yard, I love getting up at 2am with my 2week old grandson and still be able to function the next day, I for the most part am a much happier person, not that my depression has left me it still hangs out quiet abite but I am learning to manage it better, losing weight has been something I have wanted my whole life and I plan to be the best person i can be

It's not official, But I took my neices to the Dr today and I weighed myself on that scale and I am down to 249!!!!!!!!

well it has been 4 months and 3 weeks since I had my surgery...I have not weighed myself since I went to my surgeon in December  so I dont know how much weght I have lost but my best friend just brought me a pair of size 22 jeans, real jeans....and I fit them and I  look damn good!!!! I am so proud and happy right now ...there are no words to decribe the feelings I have.....I went from a 30/32 to a 22 in less than 5 months, a 56D to a 44B, a 4 x shirt to a 1x........I just pray the weight keeps coming off!!!!

Went to the DR today and found that my surgeon has quit and has been replace by a new surgeon....I was not impressed by this new DR but one visit isnt enough to say anything bad, soo Ill just deal with it, lol not like I have a choice anyhow , She was very blunt about everything first she told me I have very beautiful long hair and not to worry it WILL fall out from not getting in my protein  ( really going to get that protein in now) ....My NUT is in Ireland for Christams vacation so I saw a new one today she is really awesome and I soo enjoyed chatting with her.....I am still not getting in the vitamins, protein and calcium so I am working harder on that...I am also going to start getting very serious about more exercise, I have really laxed on it since the holidays have started. I am down to 273 now thats a total of 65lbs in 3 months....again I thought it should be more, but the DR and NUT said it was right on track, This Christams I had all 5 of my boys home and all 3 of the neices plus the 2 girl friends and my grandbaby, my mom, her BF, both my sisters, their husbnads and kids and everyone stayed here lol needless to say it was a blessed  and very hectic Christmas...I also found out on Christmas Eve that I am goin to be a Mama again!!!! That will be 3 grandbabies 2yrs or under.....its a good thing Im losing weight or I would never be able to keep up with them lol Hope everyone has a Happy and Blessed New Year!!!!

Went to the Dr today I am down to 295.........I have lost 31lbs since surgery and 41 total.... I really cant tell a difference yet hopefully I will start to notice something soon but I think that is not enough weight for the amount of time 6 weeks, but the Dr said it is wonderful that it equals out to 5lbs a week and what did I expect to loose 10 a week....I just hope Im on the right track...talked to the NUT today and hopefully figured out a way to stop all the being stuck...she said the things that are gettin stuck are too dry for me, so I have to start putting sauces or gravy on the drier things and see if that helps...she also said since I can not stand the smell of whole wheat to start eating white tortillas pita and flat bread.......also she said to go ahead and do the chewable calcium since I am having a hard time gettin in all the pills....the Dr said the weight lose will slow down to around 2 to 3 lbs a week........I go back on Dec 20th

ohh where to start.....31/2 weeks out,I am not getting in my protein, liquids, and somedays not even my vitamins......
My pouch feels so full I cant take my asthma or allergy meds my depression pills none of them .....its to the point that I am puking back up whole pills... I am weakI only got off the couch once yesterday and slept for like 4 hours which is something I never do....this is not everyday but it has been the past 3 days!!!!! What am I doing wrong??? I need help trying to figure a way to fix this!! I wake up at around 530 and drink a glass of water then have a cup of coffee, next usually a scrabled egg
and then a multi vitamin and a calcuim w/ vit D I walk on my tread mill 17 minutes and after that  the day is just kinda a blur....I cant get much of anything else down the rest of the day.....I always have bottled water but feel soo full its hard to drink it.....My bff says I look really bad, around my are dark and I am soo tired its a chore to just clean the house!!!!! If anyone has any suggestions I will be more thasn happy to hear them ...I am getting in maybe 40 oz of water  around 32 protein....
On the plus side of all this I have for years never went a day without a headache and since this surgery I have not had one at all  ;o) that is amazing I am soo happy about that!!!!! I want to lose this weight and I know I am not getting in the right amounts of anything and all thats doing is messing me up!!! Thanks for reading
