Well I made it thru Christmas and New years...thank God....I have had lots of health issues non having anything to do with my gastric bypass. All having to do with me wanting to have a child....it just keeps getting worse...anyways enough of that. I thought I would post a picture of me at the christmas party this year....looking pretty damn good I must say so myself. still sitting around 220 thanks to this lovely medication I am having to take. Hopefully that will be changing soon. Until later

I just wanted to stop in and give my year update. Well many things have changed in my life yet something have stayed the same. I am officially down 127 at this moment and have not weighed this morning. so if that changes I will correct it later on today. I am still working out. I took a 3 month break from working out due to work and I can really tell. My weight is not moving at all these days which really has me in the dumps. I want to get below 200 so bad. But the really cool news for me is that for the first time in my life I weigh close to what most of the woman around me weigh. So in that respect I feel normal. I am wearing a 16 to 18 in pants and xl in shirts. That is so wonderful. I have had such a wonderful attitude up until a few months ago and I feel like I have went back to the old ill person. I dint seem to quite has happy and I really dont understand why and I am really trying to find a solution to this. I have really been trying to analyze where I need to go from here. I plan on starting the fertility clinic the end of this month. I need my own family..something to separate my personal life from my work life. No men are interested in my now...which I thought would possibly change after loosing so much weight. So either I totally ugly or my personality sucks....but I cant change either.

The big question is would I do this surgery again???.....the answer is HELL YES!!  Even though I cant blame anything on my weight anymore I am happier. I love being able to do things. I have experienced some wonderful things in my life over the last year. And yes I would go Thu this over and over again. Well I am off to the gym will write more later as I have thoughts today.

WELL i AM ALMOST 10 MONTHS OUT AND HAVE STALLED AT 121 POUND WEIGHT LOSS. IT IS KINDA DISHEARTEN BUT i AM FORSURE THINGS WILL MOVE AGAIN. I KNOW I HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE GYM AS MUCH BUT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ALOT. I WANTED TO BE DOWN AT LEAST 154 POUNDS BY THE 1 YEAR MARK BUT I AM PRETTY SURE THAT WONT HAPPEN.. BUT I AM SO HAPPY WITH LIFE NOW. YALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Hello

I know I know I am so aweful in not posting more than I do but I actually have a life now...lol Good problem huh. First off I have been dealing with my mom who has been very sick and in and out of the hospital. She has had 2 surgeries, 1 blood clot, compartment syndrome from the blood clot, an abdoman hematoma, 8 pints of blood..and today is the first day in a week that she seems on the road to recovery. And the other good news it I am finally in the 30's....I weighted 239.7 this morning. I have been fighting to get off the plateu for a month now. Its been worth it. That means I am 39 pounds away from oneder land...woohoo. Anyways I am going to take me a nap for now...have a great day.

Well I will be going to see my Doctor for my 6 month check up. I am kinda a month late but I have been so busy which seems to be a positive problem that most Gastric bypass patients have once on the other side. Life is great right now, I work all the time which is great because now I feel like working. I weighed 241 yesterday morning and hope to be below 240 by my doctors appointment Friday. I will post more later....

Good Morning

Sorry I should have posted this yesterday but life is so full now.  As of today I weight 250.7 that is down 103 pounds in 6 months. I am so happy with this that I cant put it in words.  I just went to Cato for the first time this week and bought clothes...yeah me.  I am easly in a size 22 jean but I can wear a 20 I just dont want to look like I am forcing myself into them. I am wearing an xl to 2xl shirt. It just depends on how it is made. I know this is not a small size but to know that I have come from a size 32 or 4x has made a world of difference. I love the way I can move in body now. Yes I hate the flab and hanging skin but that is something I can deal with. It has made such a difference with me getting on and off a truck, carrying my bags and just moving in general. Well I am off here now I will try to get some full length pictures posted asap.

Hello all...I know I know it has been a while. I have really been busy with life.  I have been working lots is that a surprise??..lol I just started a Critical Care transports paramedic class and it appears to be hard. Thing have really been good my weight has come from 353.8 and this morning I weighted 252.7. I have not been this small in more than 20 years..lol This has been the best thing every in my life. I have dealt with some mental issues...I tenden to let the simpliest things in the world bother me and i worry about nothing all the time. I am going to the doctor thursday afternoon to see what my options are to help with thises issues.  Anyways I will let you know what the doctor says...catch you later...........

Good afternoon........well I was sitting here this afternoon surfing this site and thinking that I need to be blogging a little bit more.  As of this morning I am down 79.2 pounds in about 15 weeks and I am shocked it is that much. I if very good most days. In the last few days I have felt pretty bad. I had to go to the doctor to get something for what appears to be a cold that come from a virus that is being passing round this area.. I just have felt very weak cant get enough sleep and I feel like I am freezing to death. I as long as I take the meds I feel good but let me miss a dose and it is on. I also have been working lots of OT but I am going to try and take some time off. I really want to work on losing 20.6 pounds. That will put me at 100 pounds lost and I will only like about 93 more to be a gold. Other than the cold things are going pretty good...been spending lots of time with my wonderful nephew. He is such a joy in my life and I cant wait to have a child of my own. I was going to start school this semester but was unable to get the funding so I am putting it off another semester.  In due time... Well I am out of here and will catch you later.............

Good morning....well I said I would not be the one that forgot to post and look how long it has been. Anyways I have been working my butt off. Even on the days I am off I have been pretty busy. I just took a cool 12 lead class and I am hoping to schedule a few more workshops. I am down about 73 pounds as of this morning. I went ot my doctor this week and he seem very happy with my progress. I cant tell you how much better I feel. And the cool thing for me is Aunt flow has been coming to see me every month on her own with no medication. This is very much a first in a while..I am hoping this will make getting pregnant a little easier when I start trying. I am falling out of most of my clothes and I am down 5 sizes in pants...yeahhh me!!!. Well I am jumping off here for now...
