Well it has been quite a while since I have written here. I want to keep track though, so I will update my current status. I haven't really lost any weight in about 6 monthes, but I still went down about 1 1/2 sizes. I am in between a 10 and 12 now a medium in some clothes, large in others. I haven't worked out at all and I haven't done very well at gettin in my protein, vitamins or eating healthy. I am happy to be thinner, but I don't feel all that healthy. I know it is my fault an I just need to refocus on health now. Hopefully I can lose that last 30 lbs and gain some muscle. I have never felt this flabby in my entire life. It was still worth it though, totally worth it. I love my new body even though it still needs work

Well the weight loss is slowing down for sure now. I think I remember reading that after the first 6 monthes that happens though. I am actually kind of releived ecaue I was getting tired of buyin new clothes every month. I was truely hoping to be under 150 by the end of summer, but I don't see that happening now. What I really don't understand is how I can lose 75 lbs and still feel so faat. I get a lot of positive feed back from people, but I look in the mirror and still look the same to me.I guess being short makes it tougher. I was hoping at my goal weight (135) I would be thin, but now that it is only 30 lbs away I am thinking my goal may need to be closer to 120, but i don't know. What I do know if that the rest of the weight will come off. I haven't exorcised in ages and my eating habits currently are horrible! Ug after I get moved things will be better and the weight will start dropping again. Can I be at goal by my 1 yr anniversary date? Will I lose 100lbs by december? I believe i am still on track to do that so I am going to say yes. I think my WL journey is on vacation right now and once i get back to work things will start moving along. All this flab though is getting on my nerves....but thank God my hair isn't falling out and I feel great! 

Went shopping for summer clothes this week. i was able to get bottomsin 14s and even PJs in Medium. WOW!!it has been since high school. I can get shirts in L or XL It is so nice to see things I like and be able to get them now. I even found an awesome dress or three! I am in a 36DD bra and I haven't been a 36 in over ten years...I just need to find a swimsuit now. Having some issues because of the saggy skin, but it's my own fault for not working out (too busy). Heading to California soon lookout beach here I come!

I lost another 4 lbs! The weight keeps coming off and my hair is finally staying on yeah!! I am finally getting in a groove and figuring it all out. I am so happy I had the surgery. I love all the looks I get from people and everyone telling me how good I look! It is so nice to be able to eat what I want, and have the control I need to stop when I am full. I wouldn't change my choice in the world!!!Thank you for WLS!

I am half way there and I can't believe it! Finally I am starting to feel thinner in a more noticable way. I can really tell my legs have slimmed down. My hair seemed to stop falling out so much now, but the loose skin is getting a little gross. Hopefully it will tighten back up eventually though. Praise God for this wonderful life changing surgery!

Lost 2 more pounds this week! Thank you Jesus!! I have been really focusing on liquids and protein as well as being more dedicated to exorcise! I have been saying no a lot easier to just eating empty calories like chips. I am so thankful to be where I am at. I really hope that my hair quits falling out soon though! I want to get this loose skin tightened up to. My boobs feel a bit like deflated balloons! lol! It is worth it though. I wam really hoping to get under 190 next week, but we shall see, I am totally PMSing this week and all I want is carbs AHHHHH!

I am finally under 200 lbs!!!! I haven't been under since before I was married (7 years ago)! I am thrilled! I have been really focusing on protein and water and I quit drinkin gfluids with meals. I have added some moderate exorcising as well. I was walking on air all day!!! 18s are getting really loose and I am hoping to be out of plus sizes by summer! I can't wait!! I am getting  alot of compliments now and some wonderful male attention. A good friend I hadn't seen in 3 years was shocked out how great Ilooked and i have known him half my life! This surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

I am so fustrated!!!! In 4 weeks I have only lost 2 lbs!!! I am looking at all the before and after pictures now and wondering if it's really going to happen.  I have lost inches though and another pant size so what gives? Very strange.I am afraid I lost muscle instead of fat. I was having a hard time getting in enough protein without going over my calories so I have ordered a bunch of supplements that are very high in protein and low cal. I have been upping my fluids and exorcising more. I also have been a lot more commited to taking my vitamins. I know there are always plateaus but why couldn't I have plateaued after I got under 200? I AM SO CLOSE!. I am determined to get under by next week!!! I look at my pictures and know I look better, but I don't see a huge change yet. I am trying to stay positive though. On to next week!

Moved across country and passed my 8 weeks. I am drinking protein and eating protein bars. Taking my vitamins and gettin in my fluids. I have found that eating certain foods like a piece of pizza really make me sick. salad and soup seem to be the best. I miss eating cereal for breakfast. Almost under 200 lbs! I feel lighter but my stomach still seems so fat. I really need to get some exorcise!

I am eating soft foods finally Yeah! And the tube comes out in a week!!!!!  I am starting to adjust to my new life, but sometimes I try my old habits and start choking. i think the one thing I actually miss the most is being able to chg a whole bottle of water. I get impateint and forgetful when all I can do it sip it. Oh well! 1 lb away from 20 lbs lost forever!
