I celebrated my surgiversay on November 20th with a little fanfare - ta da!!
Down 125 then, 127 lbs now, I weigh in at 155. Happy Days are here again. 
It has been an amazing year weight wise.  I NEVER thought I would wear a size 8 - in fact, I can't ever remember wearing a size, even as a teenager. 
I've also lost 82 inches.  It was taking my measurements that got me through the weight plateaus.  

I have never, ever regretted having this surgery.  To me, it has been and will forever be, a blessing.


25 weeks out (6 months and a week)

May 13, 2007

The past few weeks have been very hectic, what with moving, being sick and having a very busy time at work.  No wonder I've veen losing weight!  I love the house, so much room!  Last year, the stairs would have been a no-no, but now, I fly up and down with ease!  I am so blessed to have had this surgery.

After not taking measurements for several weeks, I was amazed to see 61 inches gone!!!  That is only 1 inch less than my HEIGHT!

I'm really looking forward to the summer.  

Thanks to all of my OH friends for being so supportive, especially my "coffee" buddies.

9 weeks out!

I am truly amazed at the loss of weight, even while hitting a plateau.  I read that it is not uncommon to hit a plateau around 6 weeks - guess I am just late!
However, the past few days, the weight is creeping downward - yay!!  I've also battled an upper respiratory infection for almost 3 weeks, but am finally feeling more energetic.  With that, I've started excercising to "Red Hot Salsa" (highly recommend) and cleaning my house!

Weight at start of pre-op - 282.3
Weight day of surgery - 276
Weight on 1/21/07 - 235

Total lbs lost - 47.3 (I can't wait until I hit the big 50!!!)
Total inches lost - 29.25 (at 8 weeks out).

This is so cool!!

Thanks to all for your advice and support.

I am feeling so much better, although I believe that I have had a pretty easy recovery, compared to others.  I'm not sure if I have lost any weight, as I am still pretty bloated, but that will pass (LOL) eventually.  Due to having my gallbladder removed, I am a bit sore on the right side and can tell when it is time for meds.

My diet to date consists of juice, broth, SF popsicles and SF Jello.  I can't wait until my first follow up appointment on Wednesday.  There should be no problem with moving up to pureed foods!!!
