 I wear guy pants and before my surgery I was wearing a 42 or 44 depending on the maker of the jeans. On Christmas my partner bought my first pair of new jeans since the surgery. I was kind of leary to try them on, even though the scales tell me that I am down 39 lbs it is still so hard to comprehend. You know, we have dealt with trying to lose weight the most part of our adult life, without having any success or little success at that. We have finally found something that works, WLS. So looking at the size she bought me I didn't want to be disappointed when trying them, I just knew if they didn't fit I would so feel like a failure, just as I always have when trying to lose weight. So I undressed in the living room because my partner and daughter were so excited for me to try these new jeans on that they had picked out, I pulled them up, buttoned, zipped, and OMG the friggen fit...I love my new 38 size jeans, I cant wait to get into a 32. As for womens sizes I am into an 18, I tried a pair on that my partner had that were to big for her, so congrats to me.

38 lbs so far. I am so stoked.  I want to get down to 155 and after I reach that goal I will work on getting down to the weight I want which is 135 or so. My clothes are really baggy, I really need to go out and buy clothes, I just don't see the point.  Because then the new clothes that I buy will eventually need to be replaced soon there after.

I have a situation at home, that my partner is always on me because she says that i do not eat enough! Does anyone else have this problem?  I feel bad because she cooks or we go out for dinner and I hardly eat anything, then she says "is that all your going to eat". I say " yes that's all I can eat". I mean does she want me to stretch my stomach out? I already throw up, if I eat to fast or if I don't chew my food well enough. For instance, she made thick bacon, low carb toast, and eggs on Sunday. I ate some bacon but because it was so thick I couldn't chew it very well, so I had to go and get up. It feels like it just sits in my esophagus, makes me feel like I have bad heart burn, and i eventually have to go throw up. I feel like I don't get enough nutrients in my body, I feel like I am loosing muscle mass, sometimes I wonder if all this is worth the surgery. I know I did it for all the right reasons, but I just hate having my food coming back up, its not good for me.

I am sort of stressing out, I think I should be loosing more weight than what I actually have lost, which is 28 lbs. I feel like I should be loosing more, but I am very thankful for the weight lose I lost. Without surgery I would have been able to lose this much weight.  For the most part I do what I am supposed to , however, I do eat some of the things I used to enjoy, but in moderation. I don't eat fast food, nor do I have any drinks with sugar or carbonation.  Like this evening I had a piece of pizza with thin crust and a salad, which before I would have 4-5 pieces. For the most part I do follow Dr.s orders, and hope to be at my goal weight soon. Thanks for the support.

It has been a great ride, I had my surgery on Monday the 13th,  Dr. Metz says that everything went great. Although, I did have to stay an extra night in the hospital, I couldn't urinate on my own, I guess whoever put my cath did get in the first time.

I am home now feeling like a million bucks, I am keeping my fluids down, food down, and even able to play the my dog a bit.  I do tend to get ran down by the end of the day, but I think when I start taking my Vit it will eventually get better. I have my wonderful partner of 4 yrs supporting, and my two daughters Shelbie and Sydney.

I am down 15 lbs.....yay

Well I am heading out to Denver to get my surgery that I have been waiting for; seems like forever. I know things will go well, I feel calm, but excited.  I could hardly keep asleep last night thinking about the things in life that I will be able to accomplish. I should be home on Wed, I will be back to post a new blog when I get home and am feeling well enough to sit in front of this computer to write you guys another blog. Be back real soon....take care and good luck

Well currently I am stressing out, not because I am scared of surgery, but because my insurance company has not posted my payment. I had to go through cobra and it has been hell trying to get everything ready before my surgery,. Cobra has my payment they just haven't posted it, so when the Hospital or Surgeon tries to see my coverage online my insurance coverage is saying I have no coverage.

I have been fasting now for three days and I am very hungry. My Birthday is today, but I can't celebrate, but that is OK. I know why I am having surgery, I have been waiting a very long time, and I know that if I eat anything it will definitely jeopardize me getting this surgery, which will eventually give me my health and life back. I will keep you updated and let you know if I get booted out of the Hospital when I arrive, for not showing coverage with my Insurance plan.
