I HAVE TO SAY I HAVE MY DAYS! SOME DAYS I AM SO THANKFUL I HAD GASTRIC BYPASS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY NEW THINGS SINCE MY SURGERY. SOME AS SMALL AS HAVING MEN HOLD THE DOOR OPEN WHEN I AM STILL 10 FEET AWAY!!! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT. OTHERS LIKE RACING MY GIRLS DOWN THE BEACH WITHOUT LOSING MY BREATH. I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE THIS SURGERY WAS THE BEST WORST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE!!!!! I HATE NOT BEING ABLE TO ENJOY FOOD ANYMORE WICH MATTERS MORE THEN I THOUGHT. ON THE OTHER HAND NOW MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS WALKING INTO A STORE AND NOT WANTING TO BUY EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT FITS AND DOESN'T LOOK HALF BAD. SOME PEOPLE ASK ME IF I WOULD DO IT AGAIN AND I SAY IF I COULD KNOW THEN WHAT I KNOW AND FEEL NOW I WOULD HAVE WORKED MY ASS OFF TO DO IT ON MY OWN!!!!! I HAVE LOST 125LBS IN A YEAR AND A HALF NOT BAD BUT AT A GREAT EXPENSE MORE THAN ANYONE COULD HAVE TOLD ME. BUT AS MUCH AS I HAVE GIVEN UP I AM A MUCH HAPPIER PERSON AND SO MUCH MORE FULL OF LIFE!!!!!

WOW!!! I can't believe how quickly time has passed. I have lost a total of 101 lbs now.  Honestly I have not been very good about my diet or exercise over the Holidays. So I am now trying to get back on track. But I am very happy with the size I am now. I wear a size 12. I can't believe I can honestly say that. I have not been a size 12 since I was 12 years old. I have so much energy and I don't hurt anymore. I am actually excited about life now and am looking forward to my future.For the first time in my adult life I did not resolve to lose weight for the new year but to experience as many new and exciting things as possible.

WOW! It's almost 2008. For the very first time since I can remember I won't be making a New Years Resolution to lose weight. This year  my resolution will be to do as many new and adventurous things as I can.  So far I am down 96lbs. I am sooooo Happy!!!!!!!!

Well to be honest this past month has been a struggle! I am trying hard to get back on track. I have lost 84lbs total. I know that is good but I am anxious to get to my goal! Hopefully things will go better next month.

WOW IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY I WAS STILL WAITING TO GET THE SURGERY! TIME IS FLYING BY SO FAST. I HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 78LBS NOW. I WENT FROM A SIZE 24 TO A SIZE 14. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I CAN WEAR A LARGE WITH NO X IN FRONT OF IT OMG!  THINGS ARE SO EXCITING NOW!!! I AM ONLY 20LBS AWAY FROM THE WEIGHT I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL YAY ME!!!

Time is flying by so fast. It seems like just yesterday I was waiting to here from the Dr.s office if I got aproved or not. Now I am 4 months out. I have lost a total of 70lbs now. I am feeling awesome! I can't wait for the rest of my life!!!

On August 24th I was shopping for clothes. I put on a size 16 for the first time in 8 years!!!!! I still can't believe it. I keep expecting to wake up to the old me. I am so thankful for  my new life!!!

Yesterday was my 3 months! I have now lost a total of 58lbs YAY ME!!!! Anyway everthing is going much better now. I am eating ok and feeling good. I still miss food though!!! Especially my slurpees! I used to have one everyday! Well I guess thats why I needed the surgery LOL!!!

The last time I had them done was 4-25-07 my surgery was May 11th. Anyway today is July 24th and I have lost 25.25 inches off my entire body!!!!! That is incredible I think. I also hit my 50lbs lost yesterday!!!!

Hello hard to believe 2 months has passed. I am doing much better now! I have lost a total of 44.5lbs. I go to water aerobics 5 days a week and do circuit trainning 3 days a week. So far I have not gotten sick from any foods. I am looking forward to an active future!!!!
