May 10,2011 - 127.7 - It's been so long since I have signed on here and so long since I have posted. Thought it would be good for me to get back on here and see where I was and remember my journey. It's been 2 yrs 4 months since my surgery and still thankful for having it done. Been having some recent issues with really bad migraines and very low blood pressure. I don't think it has anything to do with my surgery of course everyone wants to blame it on that. I had migrained before the surgery, low blood pressure I never did.
Well I'm almost done with Cos school, August 13th should be the goal. In the home stretch. I can't wait. I am hoping to have the time after I gradutate to spend on exercise as that is what I have been lacking since I joined march 2010.
Hope to come back often to keep myself on track.

Sep 14, 2010
September 14, 2010 - 128lbs - I have put on some weight and I am scared!!! I need to get back on track. I feel like i am hungry alot now. I also have stopped journaling and I am not eating what I should be. With me working full time and at school right after work and my days off are spent at the football field, I'm lost!! I need to find a way to make this work, I don't want to get back to my old self.
Anyone have any advice, been in a similar situation and turned it around?

Home from the hospital
Jul 09, 2010
July 9, 2010 - 126lbs (prior to surgery)Boy has it been awhile since I posted. Well, alot has happened. This pain everyone thought was me being backed up was not it at all. I've had this pain for months now. Just got home from the hospital and wonderful Dr Caruana figured out that I had a herniated bowel. He said he fixed me up, I hope to god he did. I am on leave from both work and school trying to figure this out and actually went through another lap surgery on June 16th on my ovaries to find out they were not the issue. Anyway, I'm super sore and swollen and hope I heal up soon. Prior to surgery I was starting on a path trying to loose another 10 lbs and tighten up all the excess skin as I don't feel I am at where I should be.

No Weight Loss
May 09, 2010
May 9, 2010 - 126 - haven't lost anything in awhile. People I havedn't seen in awhile think I shouldn't lose anymore. I feel I need to lose about 5-10 more lbs. I feel my appetite coming back a bit, a little scary. I have been a bit dizzy lately too.

Normal Weight!!!
Apr 03, 2010
April 3, 2010 - 126lbs/24.6BMI - I made it to normal BMI. Lots of stuff going on in my life. I started back to school for Cosmetology, I love it. Working 50 hrs/wk plus going to school PT 14 hrs/wk alot going on. It's alot, but I love it. My brother's wedding is coming up in May down in Florida it's been alot of work preparing for that and a whole lot of money. My middle son is making his first communion 4 days before we leave for the wedding. Can I possibly squeeze anymore in :) I shouldn't say that cuz I'm sure something will come up. As school doesn't stop and we have tests every three days and I only have a week to make up the test. So I will be studying while I am laying in the sun of course. Anyway, I'm loving my new body and happy for the decision I made. Once I pay off school loan I will need to start saving for PLASTIC SURGERY as Insurance will not cover TT or Breast Lift. Thats the two items I want and think I need done.
1 yr check up a little late
Mar 02, 2010
March 2, 2010 - I had my 1 yr check up just over a month after my 1 yr anniversary. The PA said I am doing fantastic and she doesn't think I should lose much more than 5 more lbs. I have also been having trouble with constipation so bad that my primary thought I had kidney stones, they sent me for a CT scan and found I was just full of sh.. literally. I have never experienced this much pain in my life. Come to find out that all I needed to do is come see my surgeon for help. They are putting me on Amitiza 2x day to see if that will help along with trying to help get more fiber into my diet each day. I do pretty good as it is with my yogurt every morning and whole wheat when I do eat bread, but it's obviously not enough. This medicine apparently helps your intestines/colon stimulate movement. I figure I will wait until the weekend to give these pills a try, don't want to try these ones on a work day

Plugging Away
Feb 26, 2010
February 27, 2010 - 128.2lbs - I'm trying to ppost more often as it keeps me more accountable. I am also trying to weigh myself every couple days, I'm afraid that I will slip in the wrong direction so to keep my self in check I will watch the scale and write all that i eat.
I see many are looking into surgery now that they have lost weight, I know that I wouldn't be able to get that covered by insurance as I do not have enough skin to warrant that, but I would like to eventually look into a breast lift and maybe a tummy tuck as i do have excess skin that is not really going away with the exercise.

Almost to my personal goal.
Feb 19, 2010
Feb 19, 2010 - 130.6lbs - almost to my personal goal. Boy is it going slow. I started working out to that Jilliam Michaels DVD, boy does she kick your butt! I did notice that I put 1-2 lbs on not sure if I was gaining muscle or not because boy was I sore. I couldn't have possible gained from anything else at least I hope not. I have noticed I have been lax on my documenting on my plate and I haven't been getting in enough protein and noticed my hair falling out again. I have to definately get back to that. I am worried about getting out of the honeymoon stage I think I am there, but I don't think I fully understands what your body goes through??? Is there something different with the absorption? I see so many different things in the posts, guess I will ask at my one year appt in a couple weeks. My brothers wedding is in May I really want to get down to 125 if I could and really tone up my arms, butt and stomach. I hope with this exercising I can tone up my stomache enough that I don't have to resort to surgery to remove the excess skin. Well, about 4 more lbs before I am considered NORMAL weight, can't believe it. People at work think I am crazy, but that's what the BMI chart says. I have to weigh 126 to reach normal weight and I should weigh about 115 but I don't know that I would look healthy at that weight, who knows maybe I should try. I need to drink, drink, drink more water and start getting that protein in.

Thank You
Feb 03, 2010
Feb 3, 2010 - Thank you to everyone for all the congrats on my one year post. Sad that I hardly had time to even post the date and my weight. Life at work has been crazy. Going back to school March 15th (making a career change) SCARY! Just gotta go for it :) I currently have a degree in Interior/Architectural Design but have been working as a Manager of a Customs Brokerage for 11 years now. Although successful, I work many hours and it's very stressful, I think it's just the lack of tools to do my job that is the most stressful and the lack of tools to provide my employees. I love the fact that I work with wonderful people and have great clients that I have created great relationships with. I don't think that the company I work for really understands how to keep the people that really work hard for them and bring them the business and I want to take my skills and put them to better use. Wow am I rambling! Maybe it's called venting. Anyway, I am going to school for cosmetology and my goal is to open a full service salon. I am great with people and I have a creative eye. Why not put my hard work to use for me, I sure do appreciate it :) Well, with my new me from this wonderful surgery many things have opened up in me, this being the most recent. So much more to come.
