So this is the new me! I am still getting used to me and the size. I have lost a total of 136 lbs. and have surpassed my goal 3 times. I feel amazing and am so thankful that I decided to get healthier. I feel amazing and cannot believe that in 11 months, that I am where I want to be. I have not updated in a while and just wanted to drop a line to say that I am happy and hope that everybody is doing well.

I am now 5 1/2 months post op and have officially lost 100 lbs. I am actually down 103, but the 100 was really exciting. I am doing pretty good. I really need to buckle down with my exercise. I was doing really well with the elliptical and doing bleacher miles, but stopped over two weeks ago, and have not found the motivation to start again. So my goal is to start Monday again. So I hope everyone has a good three day weekend. I will post again soon. Only about 27 more lbs to go.

It has been a little while since I updated, so I thought that I would update where I am at right now. I am down 95 lbs. and am feeling really good. I am 5 months post op today. I cannot imagine being where I was again, and cannot believe that I ever let myself get there. My body is going back to its original form better than I ever hoped for. I have added exercise to the routine and it has definitely helped out. I feel really good after I work out, I am just not a workout person, but I am making myself become one. I want working out to be part of my normal schedule. I do not want to have to fit it in. I just want it to be daily ritual and it is getting there slowly. I can actually see the defined muscles in my legs which is amazing because I do not think that I have seen my calf muscles since college.  I am not getting as much flab as I thought that I would have. My arms are a little flabby, but nothing that a tee shirt cannot hide. My stomach has a little flab like after you have a baby, but I do not have an apron at all. I am so happy and satisfied with this surgery and would do it over 10 times. I am finally starting to feel like the real me that was hiding under the extra skin and fat cells. So 95 lbs later, I am feeling great and hope to continue this journey for a bit longer. I will update again soon.

Just a quick update. I am down 74 lbs and feeling a lot better. I am really starting to feel more normal now. I feel like I am on a really good diet and sticking with it. I can eat just about anything, but I stick with my portion size and try to stick with high protein foods first. Well I will update again soon.

I woke up this morning and I am finally down 60 lbs. My goal right now is 120 lbs, so I am officially half way there. It has not been very long, but it feels like it has taken forever. I am out about 10 weeks, but it feels like months. Well I will update after my next follow up with doctor on 06-12-08.

Well everything has been going pretty good. I am 6 or7 weeks out and have lost 39.5 lbs. It feels like it comes off so slowly, but I know that is not true. If I had not had the surgery I would have never lost this amount of weight in such a small amount of time. I am finally doing ok with my protein and am starting to feel better. I had a couple of weeks where I did not get any protein in and now I am worried that I am going to start losing my hair. Well I will update again after I have my 2 month followup on 5-9-08.

Even better! I had my followup today and I have lost 22 lbs. I am still not getting enough fluids per day and not enough protein. Per Doc I need to substitute fluids for foods if I feel that I am not drinking enough. But everything looks good so far. I will update later.
