Lost over 100lbs! Woo Hoo!
Apr 16, 2011
Times flies! I am down to 194 and am wearing size 10 jeans! I couldn't believe I could button them so easily. I am not sure how much more weight I will lose. I am very happy right now with how I look. I expect I will lose 20-30 lbs more. I can't imagine wearing a single digit size but I am positive I will be wearing an 8 or 6. I am so much more active now and eating is very different, my relationship with food has changed. I prefer salad and soups and a little candy is all I can tolerate.
I still look at my jeans and shirts and can't believe I am wearing these little pants and shirts. My brain still hasn't caught-up to my weight loss fully.
Enjoy the Spring

Almost 14 Weeks Out
Dec 07, 2010
This week, I went to Nordstrom. I always buy my shoes from the same woman. When she saw me she said "you look so different, I wasn't sure it was you at first". 74 punds is a lot of weight to lose and it's finally sinking-in. I can feel bones I didn't even know I had

! 11 Weeks Out
Nov 23, 2010
Well it's been 11 weeks and I am at 229 down from 299! 70 lbs. My mind doesn't accept I've lost so much weight. I was wearing a very tight 24 and can fit into sizes 16 & 18. I have so much energy it's scary. I do whatever I want to do when I want to do it. This is a change I do accept.
It's a vicious circle when you are obsese, or extremely obese like I was 11 weeks ago. You are too tired and big to move. Now without those 70 lbs I fly up and down the stairs, walk with friends and my doggies, tie my shoes, and pick-up things on the floor with such ease. I am always moving around now. I love it !

Bye Bye SeatlBelt Extender

I flew today for the first time since my RNY and not only did I not need a seatbelt extender I had about 3 inches of room left on the belt! Much more comfortable flying!

Under 250! Woo Hoo
Oct 02, 2010
I am at 249. Under 250! I can't even remember weighing less than 250. I am happy.
I am still on a pureed - modified soft diet. Greek Yogurt is my best friend, 14g of protein is the main reason I eat it everyday. I found a vitamin powder at Costco which I mix with 8oz of water. I drink 16oz each day of my vitamin water and Jello, Crystal Light Frozen Pops and lemon-mint water for my other 33 oz.
Tuna & cottage cheese and Tader Joe's Turkey Bolognese w/mash potatoes are the primary foods I eat. Lots of protein and low fat. They both work for me and I like the taste so I haven't ventured out too much.
WLS was the best decision I ever made :)

Hives Itching Me Like Crazy
Sep 27, 2010
I've had hives every night for ten days now. I called my surgeon's office to speak with a nurse and the receptionist said she didn't think the hives were related to the gastric bypass. She stonewalled me on speaking with the nurse - very frustrating. I went to my primary who gave me some antihistamines which alleviate the hives and insane itching but knock me out for hours. I was planning on going back to work part time next week but I won't be able too if I am on these knock-out pills.

Another Bonus from the Surgery
Sep 19, 2010
I have had Palmar-plantar psoriasis for twenty years. Psoriasis on the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet. I noticed today my hands are almost completely clear and my feet are 50% improved since my surgery on 9/7. I did not know gastric bypass and psoriasis were connected. Once again I am thrilled!

10-Day Check-Up
Sep 18, 2010
I went to my 10 day post-op visit. Everything was great! The best thing I was able to report to Dr. Hunter (who is fabulous by the way) is I am totally off my all meds for diabetes (insulin & metformin) and my blood pressure was so low no more blood pressure pills! Woo Hoo!
I lost 15 pounds in 10 days. I moved to the pureed diet. I tried pureed chicken it didn't agree with me at all! It was a horrible feeling. Like something was stuck. My reaction was negative after two small bites so I stopped at two small bites.

Had My Lap RNY on 9/7/10
Sep 09, 2010
I just go thome from the hospital a few hours ago. Other than my incisions being sore I feel pretty good. Bought everything for the full liquid diet before I went into the hospital. I finished a protein shake no problem now and working on my Diet Crystal Light. It's weird not being hungry.
