I have been so blessed in my life to have been able to take this journey.  I had WLS 13 months ago and I feel amazing.  I have lost over 100 pounds and I am within 20 pounds of my goal weight and I plan on being there before summer.  Losing weight has always been hard for me, and still is even after surgery.  I may not have made my goal weight in a year but I will before 18 months.  I am so excited for what this has opened up in my life.  I owe so much to my family and friends for all the support that they have and continue to give today.  I am now a graduate from the PN progam and I take my nursing boards on Feb  5 and I am so excited to start a new life for myself, and hopefully one where I can have a social life.  I am moving to a towm where people do not know me or my past so I am hoping that it will help me be able to find a man who I can spend the rest of my life with.  I am now doing things that I never in my life thought that I could accomplish, and it is all because of this amazing journey that I have had the prevelage of being able to take.  I had surgery dec 07 and I then started the LPN program Jan 08 and I made it, even though I was still sore and having problems from surgery and ajusting to my new lifestyle.  I made and I am so thankfull for what I have been able to do in my life.  2 years ago I never would have dreamed that I would be active again, and enjoy life.  I wear a sixe 12-14 and that still blows my mind away, and I still have 20-25 pounds left to go before I hit my goal weight.  Thanks for being with me this far in my journey and I hope you stick with my as I continue on this amazing journey after I started a new life with the tools to diet, exercise and lose weight thanks to my surgen and WLS.

It has been 11 months since my surgery.  I have lost 90 pounds since then and I am almost to my goal weight.  I feel great and I am now doing so many things that I have never been able to do.  I am almost done with school as well and I am so excited to start a new life for myself.  I just have to figure out what I want to do.  I have fone really well since my surgery and I am feel better every day.

Wow It is so amazing how fast time flies.  So much has happened in the last 7 months.  I have lost over 80 pounds and I feel great.  I only have about 40 more pounds to lose.  I feel so much better, and I am doing things now that I have not done in years.  I went to my regular dr about 1 month ago and all the health problems that I had before my surgury are gone.  The only meds I take is vitamins and calcium.  That is pritty amazing to me.  I also turned 21 I got to go hiking around my bday which is the last thing that I expected to do and to enjoy it.  Life is great and I am so happy that I decided to do WLS.

Wow has time flown.  I will have had my WLS for 5 months this comming saturday the 17th of May.  I can't believe how fast time has gone by and how far I have come. I have now lost around 75 pounds and I cannot believe that I have really lost that much weight in 5 months.  I like looking at pictures because I can actually tell that  I have lost weight.  I need to retrain my mind to that I will be able to see it in the mirror as well.  I never regret the decision that I made to have suegury.  But it is still a struggle and probably always will be.  i just wish my years of weight watcher and healthy diets like that would actually have worked it would have been so much easier.  I am also done with my first semester of nursing and I passed with flying colors all A's and B's.  Which is pritty cool since I am a C student.  As I am comming up on my 6 month anniversary I have a lot of thinking to do and I will update that later.  It amazes me what I have accomplished and how much better I feel 75 pounds down.  I am now in a size 16 and I am so excited about it. I was figuring that a size 16 is what I would be when I hit y goal weight but I still have about 55 pounds to lose which is pritty cool.  I have gone from a size 24 to a size 16-18 depending on the clothes and I am so happy that I made the decision i did even though it was the hardest one I have ever made.

Hey all I am doing great and I am about 10 weeks out fron my RNY.  I feel great and it is good th see the weight come off.  My weight loss has decreased a lot but I am still losing 2-5 pounds a week which I guess is good.  At least i am still losing.  I am getting adjusted to my new lifestyle.  The only problem that I run in to is that I live alone and trying to cook for just me when I eat very little is super hard.  But I have started making tv dinners and putting them in the freezer so that I dont waste as much food as I did before.  I feel great, and I have less the 90 pounds to lose.  I have had to get almost a entire new wardrobe, but most are hamidowns for family which is good.  I am in the nursing program and that is super stressful, which is making it even harder to eat well, and exercise and to actually take the time eat slow.  But I am trying to get better.  I cant believe I am already 10 weeks out that is so crazy.

I an now 2 months out of surgury.  I have lost about 50 pounds and I feel great.  Life it good and it just keeps better. and questions just let me know.

I had my first appoitment yesterday and everything went well.  Everything is going just the way it is suppose to.  I just have to keep working hard, and exercising, and everything should go well the rest of the journey.  I have lost 30 pounds and it feels great to be on the losing bench.

Hey
It was 2 weeks yesterday that I had my surgury.  Everything went well, and within a few days there was really no pain,  I was just sore.  I am almost back to normal. I am still tired very easily but hopefully will get better when I start school, and will actually have access to a gym.  I feel great and I have lost about 30 pounds so far, which totally amazes me.  But I feel lots better than before my surgury, and it will only get better.  Well let me know if you have any questions.

On Dec 13th was my preop appt.  I was really good, and I still can't believe that this is really happening on Monday the 17th.  It seems like it should have not been this easy.  I am all set up at the hospital, so no paperwork the day of surgury.  That will be so nice.  My mom is going with me.  I am so blessed that she will take a week off work for me.  I learned about what to expect while i am in the hospital, and I also learned about the 3 different stages of diets that I am going to be on.  It was great.  I will let you all know how the surgury goes on Monday.  It will be great, and see ya on the losing side.
