9 months post op
Jan 20, 2008
Things are going really well so far but the weight loss has come to a stop im afraid. I do have a loss of about 2lbs this past week, but i believe that is only because i just finished the 5 day pouch test diet plan.
The pouch test wasnt hard, but i was ready for the 5 days to be over with as the food was becoming old and boring.
For those interested in following this plan to get your tummy back on track and working again, check it out! : http://www.5daypouchtest.com/
I do believe it was worth doing and plan to do it again if i ever feel the carb monkey on my back again. It completely helped me get off the carb fix i was on.
Anyway, Here are my stats for my 9 month check in!
DOS: 214 size 18 & 1X
GOAL: 120
CURRENT: 127 size 4 & small
(some of my size 4's are getting loose!!! )
Oops..missed December!

What an awesome year this is going to be~
Im losing very slowly now but im okay with that. Im grateful and blessed that my ass is half the size it was this time last year so i certainly wont complain!
Im about 8 1/2 months out and weighing in at 129lbs and wearing size 4 now. Thats a loss of 85 lbs! I feel great and trying like hell to tone up now. Im still planning on and hoping for a tummy tuck but i need to wait until April after my 1 year surgiversary to schedule that. In the meantime im working out 3 x a week to try and get rid of the bat wings ...lol. Wish me luck!

Im grateful just the same though and pleased with the overall loss. This past month i have only lost a couple of pounds.
My main concern is the low levels of iron the dr. told me about regarding my last blood test. Apparently im anemic and i really need to try and bring that up a bit. Ive noticed that im tired quite frequently through the day, im going to attribute the low iron to that. I purchased an extra iron supplement so hopefully that will change for the better!
Other than that, i feel great :)
My biggest WoW moment for this month:
My husband did laundry and mixed my clothes up with my daughters :)
Is that not the best compliment ever??!!??

Well...its been 6 months already. Wow! The time just flew right by.
I went and saw my doc yesterday for my 6 month check and he said he was impressed with my results. He said the percentage of weight i lost since surgery most people dont receive until over a year out, or more. He said i only needed to lose 20 more pounds to reach my ideal body weight. Yipeee!
He was concerned about one thing. Apparently my iron is extremely low.
I confessed i hadnt been taking my vitamins faithfully and promised to be better about it. I wont have to see him now again until April, at my one year surgiversary! We'll also discuss my tummy tuck at that time :)
Weight Loss:
DOS: 214 lbs
Goal: 120 lbs
Current: 140 lbs! WOOohOooOoo
Total Loss: -74 icky pounds!
I soooo badly wanted to put one thirty something...but just didnt happen. ugh. maybe i can say that next week :)

I finally broke my plateau! I was really beginning to wonder if i was finished with my weight loss and the idea scared the bajeebies out of me. I have noticed from the boards that many of us seem to be hitting plateaus, so if you are one of them, let me be the first to say to have patience! Its odd because it seems to roll right off the first few months ....and then it slowly declines and drops off at a snails pace when you least expect it. I suppose the reason i have failed at so many attempts to lose this weight in the past is because im inpatient and i want immediate results. I guess thats why this surgery appealed to me so much. I just thought it would be easy and the weight would slide off by the hunkfull. Thats how it seemed with all of my friends who have had the surgery before me....Right? Well, i imagine thats how it seems to my friends and colleagues too...everyone (except me) thinks im shrinking fast. How selfish does that make me sound?? Im so grateful for ANY weightloss at all....but to want more and faster ??? Whats wrong with me?? I have forgotten what a blessing this tool has become and became greedy in my way of thinking! I need to remind myself of how amazing and life changing this surgery has been for me, and so many others who have struggled with extra weight. All of a sudden ive changed my perspective and then guess what happened?? I broke my plateau! Coincedence? Im not sure? Anyway, im thrilled to see the scale moving again but ill also remind myself that if it should stop again, how grateful i am for even 1 lb of any loss that i've had help with. Lord knows i wasnt having much success of it on my own.
Anyway, here are my stats for this week.
DOS: 214
Goal: 120
Current: 148
Total weight loss: 66lbs
Im 28lbs from goal!! I can do this! Im going to up my exercising and be sure to drink all of my water! .....but most of all, im going to be patient.

Well, I reached my goal of weighing less than my husband! I am currently 7lbs less than him and it feels WonDerFuL!! Finally, thats how it should be!
Its weird though, I still look so fat and he doesnt. ...granted he's 4 inches taller than me, but still! WTH??

Wow Moment For Me!
I tried on my husbands flight suit and it not only fits...but its a lil big on me!
I also tried on his levi's and they fit too! (I shouldnt of bought those new levi's the other day), i can wear his if i want to! Wow!
He still weighs 2lbs less than me though. My next Wow Moment will be when i weigh LESS than him :) ....maybe next week?
Oh! Also, i still only have pictures posted of me from before my surgery. I really need to take some new ones now that ive lost 46lbs but im camera shy....and i dont want to ask someone to take a picture of me because ...well, again... im camera shy. I feel like i look the same, so until i lose more weight i dont feel it necessary to take any. People tell me that i look different, like ive lost alot....but honestly i dont see it.
Wow, ive completely ruined my WoW moment for myself.
Ok ok....i am happy with what i have lost! And obviously i cant look the same if im fitting into my husbands clothes....but when i look in the mirror, i see the same person i saw almost 50lbs heavier. Does that make sense?? I dont know why i cant see it, maybe because i see myself every day? Maybe ill hide all the mirrors and take a peek next month...lol. Is this normal? To lose almost 50lbs and not see a difference? Hmm.
