GAINING WEIGHT!! ARGGGGG!!!
Jan 16, 2013
Freaking out over gaining about 15 lbs since October 2012. I know I haven't made the best choices in what to eat, and can't find time to exercise because working full time, going to school full time, and having a full time family. It just sucks!! So, I decided to go back to low carbs and eating protein again. I have to find time to exercise!! I just don't know how. Oh well, I'm done ranting. CIAO!!
Met my goal weight!!
Aug 30, 2011
Finally reached my goal weight!! I am at 144.8 and my goal was to reach 145. I am a year and 2 months post op. Now, i'm wondering if I will stop losing the weight. I don't want to get to skinny. I do suffer from an ulcer, but was told that is normal. I don't know but I'm sick of being sick. I throw up occasionally because of the ulcer but I'm kind of getting used to it by now. Oh well, I guess this will be my last blog unless something spectacular happens lol. CIAO!!

1 year post op!!!
Jun 20, 2011
So, today is my one year post op. I am doing great. I have been on this roller coaster ride for about 3 weeks now bouncing back and forth from 160 to 162 depending if I poop. lol. Anyways, I woke up this morning and I am at 160 YAY!! I still have 15 more lbs till I reach my goal weight. Hopefully before the end of the summer I would have reached my goal. I'm in a size 12 pants and medium to small shirts. I'm still having problems eating certain things, but I'm getting over the fact I can't have bread, pasta, some sugars and soda. I'm good with not having those things in my life due to the fact that it made me fat in the first place. I will be posting before and after pics here shortly. I feel like a different woman!! Ok, well I'm done for now. CIAO!!

REACHED A PERSONAL GOAL!!
Mar 04, 2011
So, I started the gym like 3 weeks ago. I have been doing great! I only give myself 30 mins on the treadmill so I have time to tone on the other machines. Well, last week I gave myself a personal goal to jog 5 mins without stopping, and I did it! This week, I bumped up the challenge of my personal goal to 10 mins without stopping, and I DID IT!! And I wasn't even out of breath. I was so proud of myself that I started to tear up. It was a great feeling. I have also started to tan this pale white skin of mine lol. All around I feel awesome. I'm down to 182 and only have 2 lbs to go before my 100 lb mark. I'm sooooo excited. Well, just had to vent on my good news.

Eight months post op
Feb 21, 2011
Here it is my 8th month post op. I have joined a gym but haven't yet started. I'm renovating my house so that's kind of taking up a lot of my time. I haven't lost much, and I'm sort of at a stand still. I'm eating basically anything besides sugar, breads, pasta and all the other bad crap your not supposed to eat. I have noticed lately that I'm eating more than usual. I don't know if this is caused cause I stretched out my pouch or if I'm supposed to eat this much. Kinda confused. Anyways, I'm down to 183 now, and I feel great besides the loose skin. I'm very self concious about the skin. Well, guess I need to start hitting the gym hard core. Hope everyone is doing good with their surgery.

6th month post op
Dec 20, 2010
Today is officially my 6th month out. I have lost a total of 90 lbs!! I'm so excited. I can do a lot of things that I thought I would never do again. I can run without being out of breath, I can cross my legs comfortably and I'm starting to learn about myself all over again. This is the greatest feeling and it just doesn't stop here. I have a lot more to go, but, I'm doing it. I can eat mostly anything besides beef and pork. Those seem to get stuck and I get really sick. I'm still having problems with bread, but for the most part, it stays down. I stay away from all sugars , noodles and rice. I just don't want to throw up and am scared to eat those things. lol. I still don't exercise like I'm supposed to, but, I'm getting the finess game for my xbox kinect for Christmas so I can start to exercise regularly. Well this is my post for now. Talk to ya'll later!! CIAO!!

On a roller coaster ride
Oct 23, 2010
So, I'm on this roller coaster ride with my weight. I'm bouncing between 210 and 212. I don't know what the deal is. Maybe it's cause I'm weighing myself daily, but seems ever since WLS I have an OCD about weighing myself. I shouldn't do it daily, but the scale seems to tell me to step on it every day. I don't work out much, and I tried to get in that habit, but seems like I can't. I eat properly, but still seems like I'm up and down all the time with my weight. I don't know what I can do to start shedding pounds like I want to. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks.

Three months post op
Sep 21, 2010
This is my 3rd month post op. I'm weighing in at 218 lbs. I have never in my life felt better. I finally got into my size 17 LEI jeans. I'm eating regular food now, but not a lot of it still. But, hey I'm not complaining. lol. I bought myself a shake weight and have been using it a lot, and I really can tell the difference in my arms. I still haven't got the umph to work out on the treadmill but, I'm sure that will come soon. I'm ready for a new wardrobe but I know it's still too soon to go clothes shopping. I went for my 3rd month check up and the doc said everything seems fine besides my vitamin D level. So, now I have to start taking vit D liquid. Just another thing to remember to do in the morning time. lol. Oh well, this will be my last blog untill my 6th month post op blog. So, talk to ya'll in 3 more months! TTFN

Two months post op
Aug 22, 2010
Hi all. So, this is my 2 month post op blog. I'm getting used to not eating basically anything now. lol. But, it's not all that bad. I still find myself not active like I thought I would be, but, I'm sure I will get in the hang of working out soon. I now weigh 231 lbs. That's almost 50 lbs total since the beginning of my journey. I almost cried when I found myself actually crossing my legs for the first time in a long time. It feels good to actually move and breath again. I have a long way to go, but, I'm enjoying every minute of it. Well, I don't have much else to say, so I'll write again next month. CIAO!!
