Still weighing in at 122 - 125. Weight goes up and down a pound or 2 but liking where it's staying. A few issues with food but nothing new to write. Just need to choose better food options It's so easy to go back to the old habits.

Went for a physical, am now at 122!!!!! Dr. is referring me to a gastro dr. to find out why my opening is to small. Said I have a hiatal hernia besides massive acid reflux problems which may be causing my too small an opening to get even smaller. Thyroid to high, so getting a lower dose but everything else on my labs were great.
Doubt if I even eat more than 500 calories a day. Still back to old habits and eat candy, chips and soda (just way smaller quanities) yet I still am losing weight! (plus I don't have any problems keeping that crap down! go figure) Not getting much nutrients, skin on arms turn purple when I sctratch it.
Feel great, Look great, just not eating much or not eating much of the right things cuz of the way my stomach feels after a few bites.

Went to the Dr.s 8/27/09 wieghed 133 (lost 3 lbs since last weeks visit) and found that my thyroid is to high (had thyroid taken out about 30 years ago and on thyroid med for the rest of my life) so that may be part of why I'm losing weight so fast......BUT........still doesn't explain why normal foods still bother me after 2 bites. All my blood work was perfect, sugar level, cholesterol, B12 and what-not was excellant along with my blood pressure.
So now I go on 9/18 and have an upper GI and esophags xray to see if something is blocking my stomach or if I may have an ulcer or if perhaps my stomach has gotten smaller! I'm barely eating 400 calories a day!!!!!!! and still just focusing on soups and liquids cuz of my food bugging me and making me want to go throw up whatever I have eaten Sometimes even liquids don't sit well and I purposely toss it up. Can't uderstand why I'm not tired or weak from lack of eating properly, good thing I've been taking my vitamins and B12.
Have lost 152 lbs, looking great, feeling great, just now eating great.

Saw my family dr today. I now weigh 136, that's 9 lbs lost since 7/14! Dr. said maybe my pouch has gotten smaller and can't accept good food. (said it happens sometimes with this surgery) or maybe my enzymes or whatever aren't absorbing my food. I had blood work done and will find out next Thurs. If everything checks out then he'll have an xray done of my stomach to see what's going on. Never thought in a million years that I would be going to the Dr. because I'm losing too much weight!!!!!!
Thanks to those who responded to my forum question.

Now weighing 139/140! Think I need to be checked out by the doctor cuz food that I'm suppose to eat still gives me problems. Can eat candy, icecream, cookies, chips and soda with no problem what-so-ever! WTF????? Try and swallow a small, wee, tiny piece of meat and it makes me feel yucky and what to throw it up!
Totally confused on how things are affecting me!
Still Losing!

Down to 145 now!!!!! Have lost a total of 140 pounds......OMG!Think I lost only cuz I haven't been eating right or rather been throwing up what I've been eating cuz it doesn't sit well with me. Guess I need to go back to basics and do the soup/applesauce foods again. But been feeling fine, not tired or anything. Need to go buy new pants size 6/7, my 8/10s are getting looser. So's my boobs. I call them "baloobs" since they hang like water balloons. Also discoverd how to describe my hanging skin. Picture the back of an old elephant and my skin looks just like that! Especially my thighs and arms. But hey, I'll take loose, wrinkley skin any day over 140 pounds of fat!!!! Also was having problems with my ass.....always felling like I had a wedgy or something up my butt till I realized that it's just the hanging butt skin having nowhere to go but to swing and sway and make me feel like I need to pull out my undies!!!!!
Happy me!

Still losing, just slower now. I'm down to 151 so far. Held 155 for about 3 - 4 months. Noticing that bread is starting to be an issure with me. I used to LOVE just eating bread but now when I look at a sandwich all I see is too much bread for me and don't even want to eat the sandwich. Or I just pick at the food inside it. Been wasting too much money when we go out to eat ordering food I never finish. Got to learn to eat off my hubbys plate or get a kids meal. But sometimes I don't even finish the kids meal. Still fall back on bad habits sometimes, gotta stop that!!!!! I'm mostly loving the fact that when I look in the mirror I'm liking what I see........a happier, prettier, slimmer Terri!

Well, now I'm down to weighing 156. Depending on my scale, it does vary from 156 to 159. It's strange to see in the view window the numbers 140 - 160. So used to seeing the number start with a 2 instead of a one. Feeling good, but need to up the protien and water.

One year Anniversary

At my one year anniversary today. Have lost 120 pounds, weighing 163. Been hanging around that weight for about 3 weeks. Maybe I have reached my limit, maybe not. If so, I am just fine at this weight. Getting alot of compliments on my weight, my new hairstyle and my new hair color. Have had about 4 people not recognize me at all, boy does that feel great and weird at the same time. Still feels strange to go into a clothing department and not look in the Plus section. Brain still in the "can't fit into smaller sizes" mode. I'm able to wear size 8/10 jeans and XL tops. Boobs really hanging low but I just pull, tug, push, squeeze and fold my girls into my pushup bra till they look just right. Every now and then I have to rearrange my headlights so that they are even!!!!! Wish I had this surgery 4 years ago!!!! Feeling wonderful with lots of energy. After reading all my blogs looks like food will always be an issue with my stomach. I can live with that. Still miss food and chowing down stuff but that's ok also. New life style, new way of eating!
