It is funny how the little thing that makes you happy, I have always wished to be able to purchases some of my clothing from Wal-Mart and that have finally happens. I have purchase jeans for $14 and dress pants for $20 this is wonderful. My jeans and dress pants went for $35-$50 and sometime more because of size. I am pleased with myself and my next stop is to the malls. I always hated going and shopping at the mall because I was never able to fitted any of their clothing not even Lane Bryant, especially not at a reason price.

I have recently turned 37 years old this year I have lost a total of 109 lbs. in 7 month what a different. Talking about what different I had to renewal my license and I look like who another person, I really did not realized who much my face and my body was so puffed up.  I am really becoming more comfortable in my body now. 

However, I found out my iron is dangerous low and they called it Ferritn and it supposed to be 13-150ng/mL and my Ferritn is 17 and going lower and that might be the reason why I am losing my hair.  Therefore, the doctors are concern so now I will receive my iron by IV every 6 month and I will receive B12 shots also, hey, I do not mind it will save me some money and time, I hate taking this pills everyday but I go through with it.  Because we have lost lower part of our stomach, even the chewable iron and B12 table may not work.  So beware sometime down the line you might have to do the same. 

 

I am feeling great; I can say it again that I wished I had the gastric bypass surgery a long time ago.  Sometime I feel I wasted a lot of time resisting the surgery, but I realized I was not mental prepared for the bypass like I am now.  I am shock you how some of your favor food you really don't miss much.  My body has gotten accustomed to the new changes.  Talking about changes I have lost so much weight that I now able to cross my legs, I haven’t been able to cross my legs over twenty years.  I did not realized how much I missed crossing my legs, also in those twenty years ago I was a about a size 24 and now on 2007 I am a size 24 again. 

Look at the change that has happen in this year: Now I like taken photo with me I them.

It is funny losing 99lbs will make notice the small things in life and these small thing make you so happy.  Today at the dentist office I had to have some x-ray done and when the dentist place the lead apron on me, she was able the seal it around my neck that was the first that have ever happen.  Like I said it’s the little thing you really notice more and more.  Even my shoes I have notice they becoming comfortable to wear for example the picture below, those shoes were only my 10 min or less shoes and now they are my all day shoes.  I can really step in those shoes now; I never thought that you would lose weight in your feet.  
    

Recently last weekend I was over my cousin house for a family BBQ and they had those plastic white summer chairs.  I hate those plastic white chairs you never fill comfortable in them; to get so what comfortable in that chair I had to lean back in the chairs with my stomach stick up to the sky.  I really hated seating like that, but now those days are over, those chairs are not my enemy.

This is a picture with my lovely mother whom is very supportive and caring. What is wonderful is losing weight and becoming for physical. Look I have lost my extra pouch on the topper of my stomach it has become more flat. I am melting like a candle top down just a little smoother. I really have waist for the very first time. It is really kind of scare and exciting that my out image is changing. I hope I am able to get used of this new image.

People great news I have lost a total of 30" all over my body. In the pictures below it really shows this blouse used be too tight and short. I used to pull this blouse down to cover my stomach and had to pull the sleeves to cover the fat. But look at me now the blouse is just to big now so I am still going to have to give it away for a better reason.
