Hi you guys....
Yesterday was my 34th b-day and I recieved alot of gifts, mainly clothes.
I am 4 months out, I weigh 196 lbs(still in a size 14)
You just don't know how good I look and feel being under 200 lbs!
In June I will be going back to the Dr. for a upper GI (oh fun!)
I pray that everyone stays happy and healthy.

I lost 18 pounds before surgery and 39 pounds after surgery.
The grand total lost is 60 pounds!
I feel so good and I can wear a size large tops now.
I am still in a size extra large bottoms, but  hey I am still a work in progress...
I pray that everyone has a special Valentine's day with your special someone.
Right now I am a little bit tired trying to pull everything together for my wedding in July.

Well today I was fitted for my wedding dress and I am down to a wonderful size 16!!!!! I wore a size 22 previously.
I was thrilled and amazed.
I am weighing in at 210 lbs, and have not been this size since 1992.
I feel great and the only complaint I have is that my skin stays dry all the time.
Good luck to all the pre and postops.

I had to go to the Doc's office today b/c I have a UTI !
The Doc stated that I am not getting in enough fluids, so as it stands I will be taking Cipro for 5 days.
The good news is that I weigh 219 pounds, I am 8 weeks out today.
I have lost 45 pounds since surgery, and I feel so good!
I just started this week to swallow my pills whole.
The problem I had with taking the iron has been resolved; I have coated iron tabs now.
So all is well with me, and I send out a special blessing to each and everyone of you...

Just a quick update.........
Today I had my four weeks post surgery visit.
Everything is fine, I have lost 29 pounds since surgery!
The doc said he was very impressed with my loss.
I don't go back to the Dr. until February for my 3 month visit.
I am now eating all seafood, and baked chicken.
The doc cleared me to go back to the gym also
I am down one size in clothes and underwear.
Untill next time, God bless you.

Today I am post-op day 18, and I am at a 26 pounds weight loss.
For the last three days, I have worn outfits that I haven't been able to fit in three years!!!
I went back to the hospital today to thank some of the staff that took really great care of me. I even met the assistant nurse manager.
   The only thing that bothers me is a sometimes pain that occur on the left side where they did the majority of the work.
My side also hurt when I sneeze, other than that I am great!
I am so excited about tomorrow, I get to eat baked fish.
Thanks for reading, until next time God bless you all.

Hello everyone!
Yesterday was my two week appointment.
The first thing the Doc said to me was that I have lost 22 pounds since surgery. He also told me I can STOP drinking ensure/boost.
I was so greatful b/c they were terrible to my taste buds.
The appointment itself lasted about 20 minutes, but the wait time to actually see Dr Chapman was, one hr. and 30 mins.
I was sent home on a soft diet, in which I am tolerating well.
I ate my first egg this morning, only 4 bites though.
Today, I started my vitamins, which are...
2 tums for calcium
1 crushed b-12 pill in applesauce
2 chewable flintstone complete
1 crushed iron pill in applesauce
My doc also told me that I can start back exercising, so off to the gym I go to get on the Precor.
Oh!!!! I can wear an x-large pants and shirt verses the xxl I was wearing 12 days ago. This is a great tool, just follow directions no matter how tough it may be.Take care and God bless you all.
