one year post-op
Jul 06, 2008
Ok, so I am now officially one year out as of last Wednesday and had my one year follow-up. I weighed 122 at the doctor's office. So that makes 118 pounds gone. I have weighed lower on my scales in the morning that's why my ticker says 119 down. I feel great and am working to lose just about 7 pounds so I have somewhat of a buffer zone there. We shall see. It is slow right now. I am enjoying being able to do things and wear things like I haven't in a long time. Unfortunately Garrett is leaving this Thursday to move to his fathers and I am quite sad. It will probably be awhile before I see him again. That's it, just incredibly sad to be losing my baby. I'll be OK though. I have survived a great deal in my life. I'll be ok when all is said and done. I just have to keep saying that since my heart is breaking.
9 months
Mar 02, 2008
Ok, so I am beginning my 9th month now and it has been a while since I have posted. I have lost about 96 pounds and feel much better. I am pleased with my results and would like to lose a minimum of 14 more pounds but am shooting for that total of 120 lost which means another 24 total. We shall see. I do know it has been slow here as of late. The last ones are always tough. I need to post some new pics here soon. I am quite thankful for all of my friends here on OH who have cheered me on and been here on this amazing journey.
3 and a half months out
Oct 26, 2007
Well, it has been close to 4 months since surgery. I am feeling much better now than before. For a while I delt with a small stricture and I have been on Nexium for a few months now. This is my last month for that and hopefully I won't need it after this. I don't go back to the doctor till Jan. and then they will run labs. I see the Nut the day before Thanksgiving. My weight loss hasn't been quite as dramatic as others but I am eating properly, exercising, taking my vitamins and doing what is right. I know that in the long run I will get where I need to be. To goal weight! Surgery has been good for me. It is no easy road but well worth it.
2 months out
Sep 06, 2007
Ok, so I am a little over 2 months on this journey and I have lost nearly 35 pounds. I am a slow loser in some ways, but as long as it comes off I will be pleased with the results. I feel like my body has changed. I have had some issues with food, but hopefully that will all go away. The surgery has been a good thing.
two more days to go
Jun 29, 2007
OK, so only a few more days until surgery. I am both nervous and excited. I am ready to begin the journey and begin my life.
