2 year anniversary
Apr 20, 2010
Today is April 20th 2010. I have reached my 2 year annivesary. I am still at 180 lbs. I do flucuate between 175 and 180. I am very proud of myself. I just recently tried on my wedding dress. I could not believe it, it fit!. I have been marrried 31 years and this is the 1st time I have tried it on. I am just amazed!
It was a nice surprise to my husband also.
I just wish that I had done the surgery sooner. For any one who is thinking of doing this I can attest that it is worth it. It seems my whole outlook has changed and is still changing every day.

Reached my goal
Feb 15, 2010
It has been awhile since i last blogged. I reached my goal of 180 pounds and feel better than ever. i have a brighter outlook on life. It feels wonderful to go into a regular store and buy pretty clothes that do not not make me feel like an old woman.
I have sooo much more energy to play with my grandchildren. I even can outlast my 2 daughters.
Now all I have to do is join a gym and get myself toned up.
The dumping that we all expeirence at first has stopped. I still cannot eat too much chicken out. I can eat it when I fix it. I hear so much about people who start to gain the weight back. I am worried that I will over eat and gain my weight back. I do not want to end up like I was. My family seems please with my sucess.
My co workers are proud of me and say my attitude has changed since I lost the weight. i wil post some more pics soon.
I want to thank my family for believing in me and supporting me through this process. And especially Linda and Penny who have been a couple of wonderful friends and willing to listen to my concerns and guide me along the way to this new me!

down to the last 5 pounds!
Feb 16, 2009
I only have 5 more pounds to go! It amazes me that after all these years of trying to lose weight that in just a few months I have lost almost half of my self.
It is a real pleasure to go to the store and be able to find clothes that fit and do not make me look so much older that I am. I've had peoples come up to me and cannot believe that I have lost so much. I feel and look so much better that I have since High School.
WOW

i am now at 258 and cannot believe the change.! I am smaller than my 2 adult girls. the energy I hav e is great and I am constantly wanting to so things instead of sitting on the couch. i am able to swim the length of the pool without getting winded, and my husband is liking what he sees more and more. He is actually saying how proud he is of me!. Now if I could get him to lose the weight . The dr says i am doign great and right on target for the weight loss and I do not have any malnutrition. I had a moment of weakness and ste a large cookie and paid the price. Never again. Plus every one at work fussed at me about it. My next goal is to get to 240 and I am on my way!!!

Jun 27, 2008

i am constantly pulling up my pants and am now in the size I was in high school!
Lately I have been having trouble keeping food down, but i know now that I need to adjust what i eat,

Just starting the journey
Apr 25, 2008
I have just started the journey to weight loss. My surgery was on the 15th of April 2008. I am confused that I am still feeling hungry. The Doctor said I may still feel this way until I am completely healed.
Has any one felt this way. A friend of mine had it done almost a year ago and has told me that she was not hungry and that she had to force herself to eat. I drink as much water as I can and am getting ready to go to the soft food stage. I am afraid this will not work and the surgery will be for nothing. Can any one let me know what to expect???
Thanks
