Well it has really been a looooonnnngggg time since I have been on here, I just quit writing after i lost so much weight. I ddin't think about it as often so quit coming to the chat room also.
I did get down to 140, but was really thin, I was nice but I didn't feel healthy, and once I got to 150, I felt that it was a good weight to  be at.
I do tend to put on a few pounds in the winter, but when summer gets here it comes right off. I still have problems eating certain foods, pasta makes me sick no matter when or what kind I eat.
My son always ask me if i would still get the surgery if i knew what kind of limitations it was going to put on my eating habit, and there are times when i would love to eat a huge plate of spaghetti, but I am glad i can't, for me the surgery was the only way that i was going to lose the weight AND KEEP IT OFF. That is the biggest thing that this kind of surgery has done for me, I don't think I will ever be 289 again, and keeping it off is the biggest thing that the surgery has done for me.
My neice is going to the first meeting that Dr. Glucks office puts together, I am going to go with her because my sister can not hear very well, so she asked me to go with her so I can write down everything for her, and kind of be there for my neice.
She has been overweight for most of her life, she is 19 years old, and has never done alot of things that kids her age just take for granted. I don't think she has ever been on a date, and I just hope she can have this surgery so she can get out and enjoy life to the fullest, I can't wait to see the transformation, it will be very exciting to watch, and also if she has any problems she can call me and I can help her with any issues.
Well got to go, I will check in in another year, if I am still 150, or sooner if I start gaining alot.
bye for now.

I am new at this blog stuff, so I am not sure what I am suppose to write here.
My surgery was on the 11th of Oct of this year, 2006.
So far I have lost 43lbs, and am doing well as of last week when the feeling of being sick started to ease off a bit.
My energy level is way up, and I have alot of things to get done that have been let go for so long it will take a year to catch up.
I can't wait until next summer, as I will be able to enjoy myself and get out in my yard and really do some wonderful things with it.
Also I will be able to go to the beach with my kids and actually swim with them and play and make sand castles again.
Life is never going to be the way it was, I am getting out and doing things that I have always wanted to do but was too heavy to do.
I just want to love life again!!!!!
