July
Jul 26, 2010
Hard to believe its the end of July alraedy. Before we know it, Fall will be here. Just wanted to check in briefly. I joined the weight loss group at work. I am not doing it to win, but just to keep myself in line. I am down to 143 lbs. When I make it into the 130's you'll know it. I'll be yelling from the roof tops..lol I am now having trouble with snacking. I find that I am eating when I'm not very hungry, but just because...... HELP!! I know this is sooo bad.... So, I am trying to deal with the head hunger, again.... I'll get it under control....
My husband bought me a gym membership for my birthday. I'm going to take my daughter with me.

6 month check up
Jun 29, 2010
I went to see my Dr. yesterday for my 6 month check up. He was very pleased with how I am doing. According to his scale I weigh 145 lbs. I've lost 76% of my excess weight in 6 months. He said at 6 months we are expected to lose 54%. I have 10 more lbs to lose to reach my goal. My BMI is 27. Getting close to normal!!
All of my blood work was great, except for my B12. He gave me a shot, because I just don't have much energy and my test results were low.I need to take sublingual B12, and I wasn't. Was taking B12 pill. I just forgot to do it.. Shame on me...
Everything is going well. I go back in Dec. for my 12 month check up. We might discuss abdomiplasty (sp?) then. He said if I have that done, I could expect to lose another 15 lbs!! We'll seeeeeee....

6 months out...

6 months since surgery, and today I weighed in at 147. Minus 60 lbs since surgery and -65 since I had my first appt with the Dr. My goal is 135 so I only have 12 more lbs to go to be at my goal. I've been thinking about having some skin removed, but its only been a thought. Haven't talked to anyone about it.We'll see what happens.
Eating has gotten easier. I still am not drinking enough, and don't get enough protein yet. I am not taking any kind of protein powder, should probably look into it.

The weight loss is slow now, but at least I'm not gaining. I have been eating more, not necessarily bad food, just more. I've lost 52 lbs, another 20 to go, for my personal goal. My hair is slowlyyyy falling out. I'm thinking about finding a vitamin to take.

- 51 lbs!!
May 02, 2010
50 anything is great. But to lose 51 lbs is just amazing to me. I'm not done, I want to lose another 21 lbs to reach my personal goal weight of 135. It hasn't been easy, thats for sure. I still have difficult days. I work around food, so I have alot of head hunger. I'm not really hungry, but, its lunch time, break time, etc...so its time to eat. WRONG!! If you're not hungry, don't eat. Plain and simple, right?
I'm loving trying on clothes now!! Its actually fun.

4 months out...

I think I'm actually out 17 weeks. I have lost 47 lbs since surgery. I just realized that I didn't repost after my 3 month checkup. Dr. said I had lost 50% of my excess weight. At 6 months they expect you to lose 54%, so he was very happy. (me too!!). I'm eating more of a veriety of foods, but just not very much. Chicken still bothers me. It will be fine one day, try to eat the same thing the next day, and i won't agree with me. Its always a learning experience.. As of today I have 25 lbs to lose to reach my personal goal... I weigh 160 today. 150's sounds very nice!!

12 weeks out....
Mar 06, 2010
I am now down to 170 pounds!! I'm surprised by this, but definately delighted! Its odd to think that I will soon be in the 160's!!! I would have never imagined it, if it weren't for having the surgery. I still have another 35 pounds to lose, looking forward to it. I am having a great time trying on clothes. My Mom gave me some that are too big for her. I'm starting to not like the feeling of wearing baggy clothes. Baggy underwear. Baggy bra's... lol You get the picture... I've actually bought a new pair of jeans the other day, size 16 short.. They are a little baggy in the legs, but the belly area is what I have to go by now. I am looking forward to Spring. I want to get outside and walk!! I hope that will help lose some of the belly. I can see I'm gonna have a problem with loose skin..... we'll see whats gonna happen later.......
10 weeks out...
Feb 20, 2010
Woo hoo! Down another 2 lbs. Now at 175 pounds. I've lately discovered that some foods I was able to eat after my surgery are now causing me discomfort. (chicken, pasta and milk). After talking to some others about this, I think I'm gonna stay away from these foods for a while. Try them again later. I am so thirsty at times, I often think I'd rather drink than eat... Not a good idea, I'm sure of that. I had my blood work done on Monday. My family physician called and left a message saying that "it was a good decision on my part to have the surgery, because all of my numbers look great". She's going to send me a copy and I will post those numbers then....
