Hello again! It's been a while...I decided to check out the forum again because I seriously need some support on losing weight again.  I recently lost my job and it has affected me quite badly I am afraid.  I know a lot of it is not moving around like I was...my recent job was very physical, and now nothing so trying to get my butt in gear again.  I definitely need a workout routine for sure.  I just added more pictures from my wedding last July and am proud of what I see!  If you need support in YOUR journey, feel free to friend request me.  Better yet, a workout buddy in Tigard, OR area would be sweet!  Good luck to all of you!

I thought I better get back on here and do some updating!! A lot has changed in my life.  I am engaged now and am getting married next July 16, 2011.  A size 6 ring is actually too big now!! My weight is pretty much stuck at 195 so did gain a few pounds back which I was told would happen.  I seem to be stable now, wish I could have gotten to my personal goal, but someday I will have plastics done and feel complete.  Hope you all are well :)

Well I have not been on here in a long time so I thought I better update LOL  I had my one yr anniversary on August 27, 2009.  I was 292 when I checked into the hospital and now I fluctuate between 191 and 197. I assume thats water in there :(  My personal goal was to get to 150 but I have been stuck in the 190's since bascially March and now its September.  I am currently wearing between a size 14 and 16.  It's really nice to shop at old navy let me tell ya!  Or a "normal" store and pull something off the clearance rack that will actually fit. :)  I feel really good these days!! If you have any questions feel free to ask! 

Well on November 27th I celebrated my three month surgiversary.  I am down to 237 now and that is simply amazing.  I have a horrible head cold right now and that sucks to not be able to take anything that will work.  I tried on my high school lettermans jacket and it fit! WOW  I went from a size 10 ring to a 7 1/2.  This is one crazy ride I tell ya!

Well I am officially out of surgery 2 months today!  The scale said 252 with clothes on today which is amazing to me.  I have not been in the 250's let alone the 200's in YEARS.  I have gotten sick quite a few times from eating too fast or too much.  Found out that canned carrots are bad ju ju.  Apparently I didn't think about the added sugar to them. YUCK I have also had (sorry guys) very messed up periods.  As of today I have been bleeding for 27 days.  Very irritating to say the least.  The dr said its because my body thinks its starving and my hormones are going nuts because of it.  Gonna take up stock in kotex I swear. A little TMI I know, but I figure if I can help another woman out there that may have the same issues then so be it.  When I checked into the hospital on August 27 I weighed in at 292 so I have lost 40 pounds in 2 months.  WOWOWOWOWOWOW Anyways, take care everyone! Thanks for the continued support!

Well, it's official! I will be reborn on August 27th 2008.....My pre-op appt is on July 28th which should be fun because I will be driving home from Washington that day,...YIKES! Guess I am getting up early LOL..I can't believe I did this all on my own, it's very validating! I will keep updating...Take care everyone!

 I just got word today that my insurance has approved my surgery! Looks like August will be my re-birth month!! WOW I did it..its been a long haul but worth every minute of it! Thanks for the continued support!

OMG my surgery has been submitted to my insurance last week...now it's the waiting game again! I will post when I get the news!!!

Whew it's been a while since I have logged on!  I had a second sleep study done on May 14th and wore the CPAP all night.  I do have sleep apnea which really sucks.  I got my machine on May 21st and have worn it 2 nights now.  I have been told by OHSU that my insurance will be submitted by today!  I hope it all goes well.  I am very nervous now!!

I had my appt with the cardiologist on April 16th and of course everything was fine.  He asked me why did they even send you here LOL.  Now I have my psych eval on May 6th which is also my son's 9th birthday.  My sleep study is on April 25th and they I am officially done with appts except for the follow up to the sleep study which they do a month later (LAME)  I am definitely on the last legs of my journey before getting my surgery. I am so excited!!
