3 years out
Oct 31, 2011
I was 3 years out yesterday. I celebrated by going to the mall and buying myself a sweater and a jacket. I have had a little bit of regain but I am okay with it. I am the size that is comfortable and healthy for me. I have had no complications and I am so glad I had the RNY surgery. no regrets at all. I am happier and healthier.

Tummy Tuck this week
Jan 28, 2011
I had a tummy tuck on Tuesday 1-25-11. They removed 3 lbs. of skin off of me. I am sore and tired but doing pretty good. I have two drains and they are a pain and I dont like them at all. The binder is tight and uncomfortable. It will be so nice once I am healed.
2 years out today!!
Oct 30, 2010
I am 2 years out today and it has gone fast! I am still at 142. Somedays I jump up to 145. I have been this weight for over a year now. I am okay with it, I just dont want to gain at all. I saw the plastic surgeon this week to see about a tummy tuck. My insurance has to approve it and I will know more in 2 weeks or less.
I am very happy I had this surgery, it was worth it.

weight today 139.5 I jump from 138-142 day to day. I feel good but I need to be more careful. I can see that if I let myself, I could gain weight easily. I am hungry a lot more lately. I am in a size 10 and I dont think I will go any smaller unless I can get a tummy tuck. I am okay in a 10. I just dont want to go any bigger.
I wouldnt mind getting down to 130 this summer. That way, when fall hits and I get the seasonal blues, I will be okay to gain a few pounds and not worry.
I still eat protein first. I still wait 30 minutes before and after eating before I drink. I still take my vitamins.
I could....exercise more and eat less sugar.

well, my weight is now about 140. I feel good. I would love to get into the 130's though. Some people are saying I look to thin and I need to stop losing weight. Well, according to my BMI, I am just at "normal" if I gain even 2 pounds, I will be overweight because of my height. I am just letting my body do what it needs to do. I am not trying to lose more weight but I dont want to gain.

One year Ago
Oct 31, 2009
well, yesterday was one year. I am still around 142 but that's okay. Some days I am 141 and some days I am 144. so, I think this is where I am going to end up, now it is time to maintain.
I am sooo glad I did this surgery. I feel so much better. I dont have to stress about what to wear and how I look so much anymore.
I am off my cholesterol meds. I have more energy to do stuff. I get out more than before. I just feel so much better all around. My feet and legs dont hurt. I rarely get headaches anymore. I am glad I did this. It was worth it.

well, Fall is here and it is a hard time for me. I dread the cold, dark days ahead.
I am still at 142. I have good days and bad days. I have days where I am hungry all day and I want to eat a lot. I have days when I don't care about food at all. I think I am done losing weight but that's okay as long as I don't gain. I am a size 8 now. I have a hard time finding jeans that fit right. They sag in the butt but are tight in the tummy because of all the hanging skin. I need a tummy tuck but even if I don't ever get one, I am still healthier and feel better than I did when I weighed 250. I cant believe it has been almost a whole year. wow. My only complaint is that I am freezing cold all the time. But I have no regrets.

I had an appointment with Dr. Trotter on Friday. I lost 8 pounds since my last visit which was 3 months ago. So, my weight loss is slowing way down. But he said that I am doing great and I get an A+++++++++++. He said that most people will lose 80% of their excess weight in 12-18 months. I have lost 96% so far. I am only 4 pounds from his goal for me.
sad news...............he is leaving town. That was my last appointment with him. He is moving to South Dakota. I am sad and kind of scared that I don't have a Dr. now. What if I have complications? I wont know what to do.
Yesterday at Safeway, a lady called me skinny. I am needing to buy clothes again. My 12's are getting loose. I have been shopping so much for school clothes. Now that I am done with that, I can shop for me.
I am going to freeze this winter. I am cold a lot now and it is hot outside. I am going to have to buy an electric blanket for the bed.

I am feeling good. I am the same weight as last month. I keep losing and gaining the same 3-5 pounds. I am eating more carbs and sugar than I should so this is why. Lately, I don't see to dump on any food. I go to the Dr. in one month. I am 8-10 pounds to goal. I need to try harder.

weight 148. I don't have to go to the Dr. this month. I didn't know if I would ever hit my 100 pound goal but I am close. I know I can do it now. I am glad I had this surgery.
