Life Is Good!!
Jun 26, 2010
Approaching the 10 month mark and only 6 pounds to go to the 100 pound mark. I have had a few people tell me that I need to stop losing, that i look good where I am now... but I have been trying to keep my goal in mind and am still shooting for it.
I am now into a size 10 comfortably. I am very confident when I look at myself in the mirror. In all my life I never remember being so particular about what my clothes look like. maybe because I can wear what I want instead of settling for what is available in my size..
Working a job as a waitress, seem to be on the go a lot, not afraid of trying new things... Life is Good!!

9th months...
Jun 06, 2010
I am feeling wonderful,I still have absolutely NO REGRETS. My RNY has changed my life. I have been at yet another stall for about a month now. Seems as though this is the way my body has chosen to react to all of the changes that I have put it through. I have been averaging about 10-15 pound loss every 6-7 weeks. Then nothing for another 6-7 weeks. I have accepted this as how things will be. I no longer drive myself crazy with the stalls and the scale.
I have lost 89 pounds to date. 89 POUNDS IN 8 1/2 MONTHS!! I would have never imagined that I would ever again see under 200 pounds let alone under 175.
As I have read so many times... The only regret that I do have .... That I didn't do this sooner.

Another goal reached
Feb 23, 2010
Today I weighed in at 189.8. I finally made it below the 190 mark. Wahoo!!
I was at a stall for almost 6 weeks again. But now it seems to be breaking again, I hope.
To date I am down 72.2 pounds... and have lost a total of 31.25 inches off of my body. What a change in my life, looks and my health.
My new goal is to once again quit smoking. I know that I can do it, I have done it before, just have to make up my mind to do it.
Every time that I get onto the treadmill at the gym, I swear that I am going to do it but as of yet I have not set them down... I will be working on that in my own mind.
I have made it into a size 12 comfortably now. Considering that I was in a size 22 just 5 months ago, I am still blown away when I look in the mirror at the stranger that I see. I feel like this surgery is still the best thing that I have done for myself.
I am still keeping up with my gym time. I made my goal to be able to run with my husband yesterday. I completed a mile in 11.55 minutes!! ME! I can't believe that I am running let alone that I was able to make the mile in that time. When I told my husband what I had reached, he said to me" now you need to try for a 10 minute mile" I simply laughed at him and said yeah right, but truth is... I WILL MAKE IT EVENTUALLY! Just because he doesn't think I will, lol... I know, I know, he is using reverse psychology but I appreciate every minute of it ..... I love him so much!
I have really changed my life since my surgery and I feel like a million bucks most of the time. I have set so many reachable goals for myself and I have reached so many already... who couldn't be happy with that....
As always I need to thank those that have been there for me through all that I have been through, and all ove those who have loved me through thick & thin...I love all of you!

4 Months Post Op
Jan 13, 2010
It is so hard to believe that it has been only 4 months since my surgery. When I look in the mirror, I think can this really have happened in only 4 months. I have lost a total of 69 pounds since I decided that WLS was what I needed to do. I feel like a different person already. I have made the gym a part of my life. I so often wish that I had done it 20 years ago.. Where would I be today .. But I am doing it now and I am sooo thankful for the gift that I have received.
It has been fun seeing the reactions of people that dont see me everyday. And talk about a boost to the self esteem. I dont think that anyone that has not been through this journey could possibly understand how this feels.

2 Months ALREADY!!

It is so hard for me to believe that it has been two months since I had my surgery. Wow the time has flown by. I have made so many changes in my life that I never thought were possible. The way I eat, what I eat, what I won't eat, and exercise. I think I have amazed so many people that are close to me. More so I have amazed myself. I know that to some people this surgery seems to be the easy way out. Those are simply people that have never been in my shoes. It is far from the easy way out. It is alot of hard work, mentally, physically as well as emotionally. However at this point in my fight to change my life, I wouldn't change what I have done. I cant say exactly what I weigh today, I don't have access to a scale today but I am estatic to know that I last weighed in at 214 pounds. To think that I was 260 pounds when I started this journey in August is amazing. I am really excited to think about my weigh in in another 2 months from now.
