WELL, THIS PLATEAU I WAS ON FINALLY WAS  OVER AFTER TWO WEEKS OF WORRY. THE SCALE FINALLY MOVED THIS MORNING!!! YIPEE!!!  YES IT IS TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THESE PLATEAUS,  MAN, I WAS REALLY WONDERING WAS I GONNA HAVE TO TAKE THE 5-DAY POUCH TEST,  BUT IT IS NOT BROKEN AFTER ALL.  BACK TO THE ROUTINE OF LOVIN' GOD, LOVIN' ME AND MY HUBBY, AND LOVIN' LIFE!!!  SEE YALL LATER.  THIS IS A CRAZY FONT (COMIC SANS).  WHEN I TYPE IT APPEARS NORMAL.  WHEN I SAVE, MY WORDS RUN TOGETHER.  MAN, THIS IS CRAZY!!!

I finally made it past the 60 lb. mark!!! I am so very happy. I can and will do this the rest of my life.  The clothes are so much nicer in the smaller sections.  Even though I can hardly believe how much smaller I am than I used to be... It's a miracle.  This surgery really does work! Thank you God for allowing me to live on the losing side.

I tell you the truth! There is no way before that I could have lost 50 lbs. in a 3 month period.  but for some reason I thought the weight loss had slowed down too drastically! But as read other blogs I see that this is rather normal.  So I'm soooo satisfied. 

 I FINALLY HAD TIME TO WRITE SOMETHING ON THIS SITE.  THINGS GO FAST IN MY LIFE AND THE ONLY TIME I SLOWED DOWN WAS WHEN I HAD THE SURGERY ON FEB. 19, 2008.  YES, I AM STILL  A NEW "LOSER"  BUT I ALREADY SEE RESULTS THAT SEEM TO ME AS A MIRACLE.

A LITTLE INFO:  I HAVE WANTED THIS SURGERY FOR 3 YEARS.  THE LORD BLESSED ME WITH A HUSBAND THAT HAD THE INSURANCE TO DO IT...MY INSURANCE ON MY JOB STOPPED LETTING US GET THE SURGERY AS SOON AS I FINALLY DECIDED.  SO I WAITED PAITENTLY.  THANK GOD IT IS DONE AND MY JOURNEY HAS BEGUN. MY HUSBAND IS THE SWEETEST AND SUPPORTS ME ALL THE WAY!

NOT A LOT OF COMPLICATIONS.  THE ONLY  SIGNIFICANT ONE WAS WHEN MY BIGGEST INCISION GOT INFECTED AND HURT REAL, REAL BAD ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER THE SURGERY.  IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS  A SMALL WIEGHT HANGING OFF MY LEFT SIDE.  I HELD IT UP WITH MY HAND MOST OF THE TIME SO IT WOULDN'T HURT WHEN IT HUNG DOWN.  IT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL. MY PHYSICIAN SENT ME FOR A CT SCAN AND GAVE ME ANTIBIOTICS TO GET RID OF IT.   FINALLY AFTER A FEW DAYS ON THAT LIQUID, NASTY TASTING ANTIBIOTIC, THE INFECTION BURST WHILE I WAS SLEEP.  IT TOOK ONE HOUR AND A HALF TO DRAIN IT;  OH HOW PAINFUL..  BUT AFTER THAT I FELT MUCH BETTER!  MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS TRYING TO GET ALL THOSE LIQUIDS IN ME.  I WASN'T A BIG LIQUID DRINKER BEFORE THE SURGERY.  I WILL CONTINUALLY STRIVE  TO GET BETTER AND BETTER AT THIS ROUTINE WE HAVE TO FOLLOW.

IT'S BEEN 1 MONTH AND 3 WEEKS AND I AM DOWN 36 LBS.  I AM VERY GLAD THAT I HAD THE RNY SURGERY.  I'LL UPDATE AGAIN LATER.

WELL, AT MY 2 MONTH MARK I DIDN'T REACH MY 40 LBS. GOAL.  I STILL LOST 39 LBS AND THAT WAS MORE WEIGHT THAN I HAD LOST IN OVER 20 YEARS! SO I AM STILL THANKFUL TO GOD THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING SO WELL.
