Hey Guys,

I just wanted to stop by. I am a little more than ashamed that I haven't updated in quite some time. I promise to update more on my one year. I took a quick picture with my blackberry. I believe I am down from 364 to 233. Wow! One year and down from a 28 to a size 14 and Large size tops. I will update more on 02.12 (my 1 year surgiversary)

The Newer Me

Wow... this is truly crazy to me! I am now 8 months and some change out of surgery. I am now 120 lbs down. I was 364 and now I am 244. I went from a size 28 to a size 16. I am now enjoying life on a higher level and am discovering new things. I am out of control in some areas that due to weight I closed off before.. and I am still the same in many areas. I have lost friends and gained new ones. I date (maybe a tad too much) I am sleeping better, I have my periods on time each month without medication and I am walking more than ever in life. I am just thankful!

 

I know this sounds crazy.. but for the first time since surgery.. my weight is not at the forefront of my thoughts. I actually am not obsessing over it. I eat what I am supposed to, when I am supposed to, and let that be that. I exercise how and when I can and I remain thankful. I am now a 16 bottoms and an 14/16 top. I am working 2 jobs and trying to maintain a love life and my new life. Thank God for RNY

Hey Guys,

The inches are moving out and the pounds are a tad slower. I am now 256. I am in an 18 bottom and a 14/16 top. I feel great and life is fine. ( I am choosing not to complain) Have a wonderful holiday and I will check in again soon!

Hugs,
Jazz

Greetings All,

Okay so as I stated before. The stall is a bad memory. I am now 106lbs down. I went from 364lbs to 258. Six months ago I was wearing a size 28 bottoms and 26/28 top. I am now wearing a 14/16 top and 18 bottoms. I feel so damned good! Seriously, life is so different... this journey is amazing. I am learning new things every day. Okay so check a sistah out

Hey Guys,

The stall has left and the weight is back to moving off. I am now down 106 lbs!!! Woo-hoo. I will post some pics later today when I get home and finally return some messages. I need all of your support. I am so thankful for the friends I have made along the way. Oh, and the guy I had the spectacular date with is still being Mr. Spectacular.. so we shall see

P.S
Be back tonight

I vowed to stay away from the male species until fall... but I just had the best first date ever last night. We met up after work, went to see Hancock, and then went to Navy Pier and got on rides like kids (and I wasnt self conscious or scared that I wasnt going to fit) also we saw fire works and had a few cocktails..... I was just so happy that I could be free and not worry about anything (weight wise) We got on the ferris wheel, which u can see the Chicago sky line on.. he held me close and we kissed.. very romantic.. and I didnt even pause when we hopped on, or had to squeeze in side ways.. it was hot and I wasnt sweating like a gorilla in heat .. Thank God for my RNY.. oh.. this is a stall from hell.. I am now 1lb away from the century mark.

I was a tad discouraged but I know it's alright. I weighed myself last night and was down to 266. I have 2 more lbs to go until I am a proud card holder of the Century Club

Greetings All,

I will go to my moms house after work today and weigh myself. I hope and pray that I made it to the Century Club. I needed 3 more lbs to go from last week.. so lets cross our fingers and see . I got some good news last night. I have an interview for a part time job tomorrow.  Lord knows I needed this so badly. I was beginning to feel as if I was underwater breathing through a straw. I love being independant.. there is something kinda cool about being a one woman operation.. but boy-o-boy.. these bills are something else. Keep me lifted in your prayers.

I was told recently (from more than one person) that since the surgery I have turned into a certified bitch. I dont agree at all. Before surgery I was a walking human trash bin ( allowing people to dump shit on me all the time) if you look through one of my posts I have labeled this as PDS (personal doormat syndrome). I am no longer a sufferer but a survivor and a motivator for this disease..lol. I am more assertive and aggressive than ever before.. I am still sensitive and kind to others.. but if you cross me or try to pull one over on me.. I now call you out on it. .. and guess what..IT FEELS GOOD DAMMIT!

I will update at a later time today to let you guys know if I am a member of the century club.
Jazz

Greetings All,

I am nearing my fifth month. I just weighed myself and I am officially 97 lbs down!!! Yay!!! I went from 364 to 267. 3 lbs away from the century club.. who woulda thunk it...lol Newbies, keep on trucking and know you can do this! I wouldnt change my decision. i did this for me and no one else in the world knows how i feel. I am no longer suffering from sleep apnea, I dont even snore. I dont have joint problems, my periods come every month. I now have a neck and soon will have a collar bone..lol. I can walk, run, skip and cross my legs. I can breathe without sounding like a machine. I am happy and finally loving me.. better than I ever thought possible.
