1 year 6 months out
Feb 07, 2009
Hello everyone. Long time since I posted on this site. I just wanted to update everybody on my progress. It has been a year and a half and I feel GREAT! I have kept the weight off. I still struggle everyday not to pace the house wanting to eat. I wonder if that ever goes away. But I am strong and I find something harmless or get a drink. That seems to suffice. I do not have any problems due to the surgery. My children have a real mom that can run around and play with them like I could not do so before. I want everyone out there to know that this is still one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life and I do not regret it one bit.

9 months out
May 19, 2008
It's been a while since I updated on this. I am getting so close to my year anniversary. I cannot believe how fast this 9 months has been. I feel absolutely fabulous. As of today I have lost a total of 140 lbs. I am wearing a size 6. WOW!!!! Is all I can say. Back when life was so hard to find a pair of jeans to button up on me at size 24 I never thought I would love to shop. That may be the only downfall. I spend alot more money on clothes. Nah!! I find myself running and playing all the time with my kids outside. Where before I sat on the couch too tired to go outside. Plus I found it too hot to go out. I have not had any complications still to this day due to surgery. Greatest decision of my life.

6 months out
Feb 15, 2008
Well it has been 6 months. I have lost a total of 117 lbs. It is so exciting to feel good, and know that I look good also. I was wearing a size 24 when I had the surgery. Today I put on a pair of pants that were size 10. It was the happy part of my day as I ran down the hall dancing. Pretty pathetic? Well here I am 6 months out and I have yet to get sick. I have not had any problems.

The Big 100
Dec 31, 2007
How exciting. Happy New Year! I got on the scale this morning to find that I was at exactly 100 lbs gone. What a perfect gift for the new year. I still have a few more to go. I can run. I play with my kids now more than I ever could have. My kids and I go in the basement everynight and run laps around in a circle. I can only hope that that is what helps my children not become what I became. Still this surgery is a decision I would go back and do all over again. It saved my life.

Well I am 3 months out from surgery. Still doing great. I am down now a total of 82 lbs. It feels so good to almost hit that point where I am under 200. I am at 201 right now. I was at 283 so that is a big difference. I had a total of 123 that I wanted to loose. 41 to go.
Feeling Confident

It has now been two months since surgery. All is perfect. I have lost a total of 60 lbs. I am starting to feel good about the way I look. Everyone I know, knows what I had done. (Im a big mouth) They are all very supportive about my new look. I am yet to get sick. That is great news. So not everyone will get that way. That is what everyone kept saying to me over and over........... Well so much for that. I am so strong and full of energy. It feels nice to work out and not sound awful. Much less feel that way. My back is starting to hurt less. My blood pressure is normal. Life is great.

1 MONTH OUT AND HOW EXCITING
Sep 23, 2007
Hey everyone. I am so excited to let everyone out there know I have hit a milestone for myself. Yesterday I got on the scale and it said 232. I dont know how it came off so fast. I started out at 283. That is a weightloss of 51 lbs. 
Wow. And the best thing of all is that I have yet to find a food that makes me sick. I am eating many different things and all of them are safe for me. I am finding so much more that I can do that was hard for me before. Even a simple walk down the trails with my family is now possible without all the huffing and puffing.
Loosing finally
Aug 27, 2007
Well it has a been an interesting few weeks. I have finally been able to eat a few things. So far no problems. Life is better with the ability to chew on something. As of August 25 I have lost a total of 27 lbs. It is exciting seeing the difference. No matter where I go people see it and comment. I love that. I only had a few days where I could not get up and move much. Lucky for me my family came into town to help me. I feel great. I will post soon.
Surgery done
Aug 16, 2007
Woo Hoo. I am home finally. I went in on Tuesday morning. Total weight loss at that time was 13 lbs. Surgery was some time after 8:00 a.m. I dont remember much from the first day. I was very uncomfortable. (but one I feel is worth it) Bothwell was great. All the nurses were wonderful. I got up and walked around the nurses station on the 15. Hopefully soon I will be posting a weight loss.
getting there fast
Aug 03, 2007
Well I am making it ok so far. I am on my third day of liquid diet. Wow who thought that could be so hard. I am struggling cooking my family dinner and smelling it. Then I make up their plates, set the table and go sit in the living room to drink my slim fast. I am trying so hard not to get bummed out. I miss chewing on food. I will continue on. I had my husband take photos of me in a swim suit. How discusting. I had no idea how bad my butt was. I can do it now. Only 11 days left.
