Hello my brothers and sisters.Well everything is fantastic.I am so blessed and I cannot believe the transformation with me.Right now my weight is going between 139-142 depending on what time of month.I am still a 4/6 on top which can be a small or medium depending on designer and I have been getting in size 6 pants and 2/4 skirts.Its crazy how your clothing sizes can be all over the place.I also have been needing the plastic surgey for my breasts and the loose skin on my tummy and inner thighs.I am blessed its little and not alot and it doesnt hang.I came across a Dr Micheal Wong who is a plastic surgeon with UC-Davis who is doing a clinical trial for those wanting the body contouring surgery after gastric bypass.He is also on this site and I will check out patient reviews but the surgery is free and if your interested check it out.I am also posting new photos....Keep your head up and eyes on God and remember your not in this journey alone....

Well I am single again and its ok to love me though dating has been fun..Its been 13 months and my weight flucuates between 144-147 so I guess it will be stabilizing.My tops are 4/6 and bottoms are a 8.I couldnt find a jacket to wear and went into my daughters closet and she wears a juniors 4/6 and there was this purple velevt jacket I got for her and she never wore it and it fit perfectly.I was so amazed.I have started to look into plastic surgeons in the Bay Area to have work done in the Spring before I go to Puerto Rico next summer.I have loose skin only in my inner thighs and you cant even tell though you can pull it lol.Also I have lost volume in my breast I went from a 38DD to 36C but I think I may even be a 34.Finally I am where I want to be and once I have the plastic surgery I feel the butterfly will finally emerge!

Hello all..all is good on my end I am a size 8/10 now and this month July 18,08 I will be 10 months out.I have a few struggles with eating I mean making ure I am getting the 3 a day I am so busy at work i am either drinking protein drinks or water and having fruit or veggies as my meal which isnt good.Plus my hair started to thin back in march and now its the edges but I still have my length.In the meantime i wear hair piees that match to my exact hair.I statred to take the hair,naol,and skin vitamins with the extra biotin so hopefully it will help..I also have a boyfriend.He is great his name is Bryan and he is a marine in the bay area.He is so adorable,loving,great sense of humor,and family/goal oriented.Our daughters met for the 1st time and hit it off.hey we dont ever bring our kids around just anyone.He is great potential and I shared my story with him and he didnt judge me at all.Next time im on I'll post pics of us together..God bless my sisters and brothers and remember we're not in this alone..

Hi everyone I know its been a few weeks since I have been on here.The surgery went well I spent 2 days instead of 1 becuase I had pains taking the liquids and had to go back on the IV.Preop I weighed 245 went  and my post op visit I was 235.My 1 month visit on the 16th hopefully down a few more punds.Right now I am 225.So far 20 pounds lost.My goal is to be under 200 by October 31 or even sooner and I know that is possible.I have been taking my soft foods in and proteins and havent had issues with chicken like most.I dont crave sweets as much before(though never really had a sweet tooth but only for Starbucks Green tea Frap.I will be taking pictures soon to upload on here though still having issues with the weight ticker I will eventually figure it out maybe its the computer.My size 20's dont fit and my 18's are loose.I have been giving away my clothing and by choice not buying alot but the few I did prior were 14 or 1X's from my favorite store Torrid and some of those are a little loose.People can see it and I can to and I have been doing little excerises nothing to much.I realized standing in the shower,standing in general or sitting for long periods I get overwhelmed.I am so happy and cant wait to see my family for Christmas and surprise them with the new me!Thank you guys for your support nd love God bless!

I am so excited everyone my rebirth will be 9/18 and its so funny right before my 32nd birthday on the 23rd.I went to Hospital school at Sutter Roseville and I love it.The team was so informative and I walked away with gift(hey we all like free things right).My daughter came with me and she did look at bit bored but she learned alot herself.My girlfriends are excited for me also and once I get a chance to get to a computer to update you guys I will.Please keep me in your prayers as you are in mine!God bless!

I met with Dr. Gregory Fields today for the pysch evaluation and it went very well and your talking Dr. McHottie for real!He is such a real person and told it like it was.Knowing that things from my mood,way and attitude can all change after this I was in awe.You just never know what may happen.After I left him within an hour Brandy the patient coordinator called and gave me my date and I am so excited.My time is coming and God has great things in store for me and I truly believe it and it can only get better from here,Please keep me in your prayers and you in mine,Remember your not alone in this journey.God bless you!

Hey everyone its been a few weeks since I wrote in and all is well! Everything on my checklist as well as getting approved I have done in a month.I had my 1 on 1 with Dr. Waldreps associate Dr. Kerr who is a sweetheart and has a great sense of humor.Everything from my bloodwork to EKG was good though I had high levels of acid in my stomach so I was put on 2 antibiotics amoxicilln and clarithromycin and aciphex.Dr. Kerr told me it can cause ulcers and it like acid reflux but in your stomach.My concern was about what antibiotics  you ladies know what I am talking about.So I  prayed over my body that no issues may insure.Plus for taking htem for 2 weeks I was told I could still have the surgery.I had a pysch appt on the 10th of Sept and told Dr. Fields if anyone cancels let me know and he called me yesterday and told me my appt could be moved up to the 7th now I hope maybe if can be moved up a couple of days before the 7th.In the beginning I did say I wanted to have this done before my bday on the 23rd of September and it looks as though it will happen,I am so thankful to everyone being good to me,praying for me,and the Lord making a way out of no way.Also its a blessing becuase I was toldmy surgery would be easy becuase I dont have any major medical isssues like mos t patients like HBP,diabetes ect.I am so excited and I will keep you guys informed when i get a date.Thank you all for your support my sisters and brothers,,,remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN YOUR NEW JOURNEY!
