Christmas Eve 2008
Dec 23, 2008
Hi Ya'll. Well, I have surpassed the 120 mark. I weighed in today at 119.6. I find it harder and harder to get the last 10-15 pounds off. I know it sounds like I am getting "too" small but I am a short little gal! I might make 5 foot if I have shoes on! I STILL have trouble accepting the fact that I am now "thin". I can't wait to get a tummy tuck but I don't think it will happen while I am here in Germany. The waiting list is too long and now the clinic is telling me that I have to have another consult referral done because it has been too long since my referral. I have massive amounts of skin around my mid-section and it makes me feel gross. On a positive note Christmas is tomorrow! My husband will be coming home in a few weeks and I can't wait to see him. He has been gone for 9 months and has 6 months until he is back with us for good. I can't wait to find out when he will be coming home! I hope he is pleased with my progress so far.
20 months out
Nov 11, 2008
Well ya'll,
Things here are going great. I have a job where I am on my feet all day and it took some getting used to but now I love it. I am down to 120 and wearing a comfy size 2. I eat whatever, not really paying too much attention except to sugars. I haven't dumped in a while. I know that I am thin but i STILL don't see it. I have skin that hangs for days but with clothes on, its OK.

Weighing in at 128! 
I would not have even dreamed about being this size! I can wear a size 4!
I struggle with recognizing that I'm "thin". I still don't see it,
what a brain scramble that is!
Still having troubles with all that extra skin though, uughhh.

Hi There everyone! Things here are going good! I'm down to 139! I never thought I would see those numbers on the scale and I'm estatic to finally get there. The weight is still coming off (obviously) but it is at a snails pace. As long as I can reach my goal of 130 and not gaining, I'm totally fine with that. I have an appointment to get a referral to a plastic surgeon today and I hope all goes ok with that. I'm very optimistic about it.
I keep getting infections in my belly button! It's very strange but that part droops ... a lot! I'm still in my size 8's but after a little while they start to fall off. I can't imagine going into a store and trying on 6's! I go home in 20 days and will do some clothes shopping while I am there. I'm SO retardedly excited about going home.
I can't wait to see what my family and friends have to say. They saw me last year about the same time but I was around 170 pounds then. I know my family will freak about my green hair but I'm having a lot of fun with myself now, more than I ever have before. I now feel like I'm free to do whatever I can to make myself feel better. Why not have some fun with makeup and hair ... right?

14 Months Post-Op

Holding steady here at 142. Once a month I have to go and get B-12 shots. It's not too bad at all but after about 2 weeks I feel drained already. I think I need to go and get some labwork done to see where all my levels are at. Life is more hectic than it ever has been and I love it! I now play on my community softball team and its a great stress reliever.
Like a snail....with salt on its back......

Howdy ya'll!
I know ...you all need to smack my patties because I havent been on here in a LONG time.
I'm holding pretty steady at 145 wearing a size 8 comfortably now and loving every minute of it. I still have my struggles with water and paying close attention to the "right" foods but I must say things are a lot easier in general. I'm headed off to upload some new pics.
I miss my Shanibug and my friend Marie. They are the best gals around. They continue to amaze me and inspire me like they will never know. You guys ROCK!

Holding Steady

Hi Ya'll! I'm holding steady at 147 here. Things get annoying with the weight loss but I'm still hanging in there. Not much else to report!
I made it under 150!
Oct 28, 2007
I finally made it under 150!
It took 4 times of stepping on the scale to get it through my think skull that it said 148.5! HOLY COW!! I'm so happy!

Hello everyone!
Things here have finally been on a downward slope. I'm down to 150 even! I was stuck forever but one day... BAM it was gone. My kids have been keeping me very busy and there is always lots to do around here. I haven't dumped in a long time, I think it's because I don't eat many things that would cause me to do so. I have noticed that I am becoming really picky with the foods I like. Weird when I used to be the human garbage disposal. Some stuff now ... I just think... eewww and I don't want it. Still having issues with drinking enough water but I suppose that will always be a problem. All in all, I'm doing OK and actually happy with myself!

7 months out and stalling like an old car
Oct 09, 2007
Hi everyone! Well... things here are still going, but that's about it. Weight loss has stalled for the last month but I also haven't been treating myself that well. I've been eating crap... and I do mean CRAP! Carbs galore and just shite that I know I'm not "supposed" to eat. Right now I am so frustrated with myself. I kinda got to the point where I am comfy and I just let loose. I have got to be SO careful to not screw myself up! So far I'm still remaining at 153 or 154 depending on the day.
I have noticed a considerable drop in my energy levels so I think I might be low on iron. I just haven't felt well lately, and most of it could be due to what I have been shoving in my mouth. I'm making an appointment today to get my labwork done so I can see where I'm lacking. I ate some papaya yesterday and it gave me enough gas to fuel the space shuttle. I didn't dump off of it but boy did I make my pants ruffle!
