Here we are almost a week after my surgery.  Things have been going alittle slower than I would have liked but I am still on the losers bench.
I have lost 86 pounds since my surgery.  I still take insulin and some blood pressure medication but less than half of what I was taking a year ago.  I use my c-pap yet.  I have gone with out it for a few days at a time but I wake up with a headache sometimes.  So I go back to using it.  My hubby says I still snore a little without it so maybe I still need it.  I do know that I feel a whole lot better now than before surgery and I look better also.
I would do it all again if I had to.  For all of you newbies out there it is well worth it.  Take care.

Today was my six week check up.  Everything is going well.  I have lost 7 pounds since my 2 week check up.  I am a little disappointed about that but since the scales are still moving downward I can not be to bummed.  Excercise would help but since I have stitches in my leg still I can not do a real work out.  I do walk and will continue to do that.  My blood pressure was good at 132/68.  Sugars are coming down and hopefully by my next appointment in six more weeks I will be able to cut that medicine down again.  I am now down at total of 32 pounds since my surgery.

I had my surgery on September 11, 2008.  I had lost 44 pounds pre-surgery.  That had taken me over a year.  I have not yet been on the scales.  The ones that I have at home do not weigh anything over 280.  I have my two week check up tomorrow.  I can not wait.  I know I have lost weight as my ring and clothes fit me differently.  They are all looser.
I am hoping to progress to mushies at that time.  I have not had a piece of meat since two weeks prior to surgery so it has been almost a month now.
