Well today is my 5 month post op and I am so happy with my results so far but I plateau every couple of weeks But I guess that is up to my body catching up.anyways 137 lbs down since my journey began an 62lbs since my surgery. I can now shop in regular stores size 14 bottoms and Large tops. Lane bryant things are just getting to big the last time I was there I had a wow moment I had a cute little brown jacket on and tried it on for the sales girl and she said pretty soon I will not be able to shop there because the jacket was a little big and and it was the smallest size they carried. That was A WOW...I am getting closer to onederland and hope I will be there for my 6 month until then......

Just an update.I am doing ok I am down 56 lbs since surgery and 131 since my journey began. I am in a size 16  haven't been that size since 1986 LOL.I still have stalls and am losing much slower then I hoped but I think I am doing average.I still vomit every once in awhile usally my fault.My hair is starting to fall out I am cutting it off.My skin is deflating and boobs falling But I feel so much better about myself people actually notice me instead on being invisible. Yes there is prejudice against obesity out there how sad.
I still am a slave to the scale which I need to stop it just make me obsess more and self doubt about my weight loss. I am getting better with that but this is still a major mind game.I looking forward to being in onederland hopefully by my 6 month.

Well i am down 45lbs since surgery and I am feeling great. Seen the doctor today so i thought I would update today.He said I was doing well I hope to be in onederland by my 6 month visit.I have also learned 
to eat slower and haven't vomited x2 weeks. off     bp med since surgery day. I am down to size 18 pants large or extra large tops.This year of focus on me and my weight problem has been a real journey but worth it . Sept.8th will be my 1 year anniversary of my new life. i am so glad I have done this for myself as well for my love ones. thanks for the support until next time

Well 35  lbs gone since surgery it is coming off slowly but it is coming off. I still vomit sometimes but am watching portion and food choices more closely. Going back to work next week and I am hoping with that and exercise I do now my weight loss will speed up.. I feel happy with this progress I have lost 110lbs in less then a year 75lbs pre-op so that make me happy.until next time.

The weight is coming slower than i want it to but 100 pounds is a milestone and i needed to post.I still struggle with  that one last bite syndrome and end up vomiting only 4 times this week so i am still working on it.i have noticed that i can eat alot of lettuce and it stays well protein food like chicken is so hard i just loved chicken pre-op and now. i am avoiding it. on a selfish note LOL
I had a sad moment i am a self proclaimed clothes horse and spend lots on money on clothes even when you are heavy there is no reason not to to look cute anyways my clothes are dwindling . I even cried .I have been off work all summer and will return 8/11.Now i am afraid to invest in anymore clothes I thinking to wait for 25 more lbs. I am thinking of selling my clothes on ebay LOL my husband said I should.Anyways i just felt sad over that clothes are like well when i buy them i feel high ok just wanted to say that thought out loud. Any thoughts?

Well It is my one month post op. What a month it has been. First of All I am down 18lbs.Yeah!I went to my 4 week post op check up 2 days ago and I asked my dr if he thought that the 18lbs was good and he in not so many words implied not really I was so upset I even posted Am I failng on the message boards.I got so may nice responses so WHATEVER I thought it was pretty good and with all the nice encouraging words I feel much better.
So i am taking 50 grams protein and trying to increase my water to 72 oz. I am trying to learn to eat slower too i have thrownup 4x because of this it feels as though something is stuck. It is a horrible feeling.I got to have salad yesterday my mom made me a nice taco salad I sure missed salads.I made a crockpot of blackbeans w/jalapenos garlic onions cumin salt pepper with chicken boneless skinless it was yummy but I have a hard time with the chicken so i am going to stick wi th beans no refried LOL. I am able to eat the ground turkey well I had switched to the ground turkey instead of ground beef 10 months ago it is good. anyways Happy 4th of July!

WTH Now I have cellulitis the bumps kept multipling so i went to my PCp and he gave me antibotics. I hope it clears up so not only do I have red scars I have red ugly bumps.I am wondering if this came from them shaving my belly or that my incision just closed up a couple of days ago???Anyways just another rant for this week next week will be better.  







  

Well haven't updated my progress for awhile was waiting for my 3 weeks. I am doing ok only 15 lbs down but thats like 5lbs a week. I guess thats good.
I have my good days and bad. Many with food intake, constipation and incision probelms. I have gotten back into my exercise routine that I was at pre-op. So thats a plus I Think once I am able to eat more veggies and fruit my constipation will improve and I am so sick of refried beansLOL I don't eat cheese anymore because that is so constipating. 1 week til I see Dr' Suh hoping to loose 5 more pounds before the first of July. My incision as of today have finally closed no more oozing. I do have red bumps about 14 on my tummy they look like bites but I don't know If they increase I will have to call my PCP and go in.  

Will update after i see Dr Suh.

What the heck! Ok I just got back from my regular PCP and I have achilles tendonitis it started Saturday night I walked around the mall shopping for fathers day gifts I had a mild achy sensation in my left heel. By Sunday morning I  was limping and this Am it was horrible pain so I got in to see the doctor and he gave me steriods and lidocaine injection OUCH it still hurts hopefully it will feel better after icing it and tylenol today. I need to exercise I walked 1 mile on Thursday and Friday>i was hoping to get back into my regular routine and into my life.... The worst part  of the doctor visit was that I have not lost nothing since last Tuesday> i am following the dr' instructions doing my protein drinks eating 2oz meals water too WTH.

Ok I had never been constipated until now .Sad  I know TMI. But I finally took M.O.M and bought some stool softeners. Is this going to ongoing thing????well I guess Maybe when I start to eat more fibourous things it will help. I did drink coffee today 1 cup only and  hope this will regulate things yes I know it is a no no.
