I am 3 months out today and am down 51 lbs and feeling wonderful!  I love the new me.... I just need to work on getting enough water and protein.....  i have been craving sweets so bad (and eating them) they are one of the only things that don't make me sick.  I need to really start working out... i am getting saggy.  i do feel great and would totally do it again

I am 11 weeks out and feeling wonderful!  I have so much energy and feel like doing everything.  We have been rollerskating and bowling lately and having a great time.  I love it.  It's 11 weeks and I am now 46 lbs down.  I am going to start exercising a lot more.  I was doing good right before Christmas and New Years, then I just sorta stopped because I started back to work.  I am going to get the wii fit today (sooo much fun) and start going back to the gym at least 3-4 times a week.  The only thing is, I am getting very flabby, so I want to take care of that right away.  I just bought a size 8 jean.  I think that they must make them large, caus I don't see myself in a size 8.  I don't really care for food anymore, I would prefer not to eat but I guess I can't do that.  My problem is, I get sick from pretty much everything except for sweets.  I am not a sweets person and it has no nutritional value, but it is the only thing I eat that I actually don't feel sick after. Meat kills me, bread kills me.  prayerfully, this all will get better, but for now I make myself eat.  I hope that everyone is as happy as I am with this surgery.

I am now two months as of today post op and down 40 lbs.  I am in a size 10 jean.  I am very thankful for this surgery. I hope that I continue to lose.  I pray everyone else is just as happy with their surgery.  good night

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!  I am now 8 weeks post op and am down 37lbs. from surgery and 71 lbs since my pre op classes back in march.  Somethings really make me sick but for the most part I am feeling good.  It was funny, I was told if you eat sweets you can have serious dumping.  Of course sweets don't affect me one bit.  In fact I handle sweets better than almost any meat.  I use to love meat and not care one bit for sweets) now I can hardly stand to eat meat because of the way it makes me feel.  I still do however because I know I need protein, protein, protein.  Anyway bye  for now.

Well today is one month out.  I am down 27 lbs.  Yea, I am very excited!  The only thing is, I would love a hamburger and a soda.  i know I can't but I would really love it.  I wish that I could have a little variety of food.  I have been soooooo tired, prayerfully I will get some energy soon.  I start back to work on the 15th.  Weightloss goes as follows

I am now 7 weeks out and doing sooooo much better!  Lots of things make me sick but I just have to find out what they are and stay away.  No soda's!  I had one sip of my husbands and wanted to puke, definately does not taste the same.  Plus my surgeon says that you can stretch out your pouch drinking soda.  I definately do not want to do that.  Trying to get my fluid down but it is soooooo hard!  Had to go to emergency this week and get two bags of i.v. fluids (gained 3 pounds, that stunk)  I ended up losing that plus another pound.  I had better get to bed now.

Week 1-- 11.7 lbs
Week 2--   6.3 lbs
Week 3--   3.7 lbs
Week 4--   5.0 lbs
Week 5--   3.4 lbs
Week 6--   3.2 lbs

I have got to get out of my old mind set.  I get really hungry and then I serve my self or pick up something but I order too much.  I really have to stop doing that.  I know that my stomach is much smaller but my eyes are bigger than my stomach.  Does anyone eles have this problem or is it just me?  anyway, have a great day

Surgery went well, feel great other than I am exhausted!  I had my surgery Nov. 3 and up til Friday I have lost 18lbs.  Excited about that!  However, the last few days I hadn't lost anything!!!! Then today I went to the gym.  this is what I ate today
Breakfast: 2oz. of yogurt
Lunch: cheese
Dinner: 2oz of potatoe with veg. chili
And what happened, I gained 2 pounds?????????  How is that even possible?  This just breaks my heart.  Oh well, I will just keep on!  Have a great night all.

Well, last November 2007, my doc. told me that I should consider bariatric surgery in order to live.  I have a kidney disease and will not be eligible for transplant unless I lose a hideous amount of weight.  I of course cried at first thinking, "what is wrong with me that I cannot lose this weight.".   After thinking for a while about it I decided to educate myself on it.  I went to my PCP and she referred me to the options program through kaiser.  It seemed like an eternity til a track opened up 4 months to be exact.  Then Once it did and I found out the options program was for 6 months I thought,  "there is no way!! It is going to take forever.  Believe it or not it didn't take forever it was here in a blink of an eye. I thought the classes would be horrible but they weren't, I loved them.  Infact, on the day of my last class I was even depressed that they were over.  I started out my weight loss journey weighing an astounding 255, once class was over I was down to 217.  Wow, I lost 38lbs in just 6 months, (with options you are required to lose 10% of your weight before graduation).  I am already feeling so much better.  I was having back problems, leg problems, and stomach problems,  all due to my obesity.  I have got myself a pedometer and try to walk at least 7,000-10,000 steps a day.  I have to admit, I am addicted to my pedometer.  I was told that upon completion of the options class that surgery would be only 4-6 weeks.  They lied!  I just got a call from pacific bariatrics and it won't be at least for another month.  I am sad and ready, already.  I am stressing out because once I met for my initial consultation, am I not allowed to gain even 1 pound until surgery or they will cancel, and reschedule once I lose it.  As of today I am up 5 lbs.  Not good!   I am going to start watching my weight this week.
