I am now at 144 lbs!  Would like to get to 135 but I am happy where I am at.  I have lots of xtra skin on  my tummy and thighs but it doesn't bother me too much.  I am wearing size 8 jeans now....haven't been a size 8 since pre teen!Its amazing how you adapt to a new life style so quickly.  I'll try to remember to post at my 1 year annv!

I made it into the 160's by my birthday!  Yesterday was my 37th birthday and I weighed in at 167.  I spent the day skiing!  It is so much easier when you are skiing w/out 80 xtra pounds.  I am still losing a bit of hair...but it has slowed down.   I started taking the supplement Biotin, which I think has helped.  I actually like my hair better since its thinned out!  My next goal is to be the the 150's by the end of March....we'll see. Later!

I have been at a plateau  at 175 lbs for over 2 weeks!!  I know its just part of the losing process...but it still sucks.  I lost 15 lbs last month so I know I can't be  too picky this month!!  I was losing a lot of hair but it has tapered off now...TG I have lots of it!!!!  I would like to be in the 160's by my birthday next month...but we'll see.  I can wear a size 14 now and m/l top.  I am so glad I had this surgery... I absolutely have NO REGRETS!!!
Later.

Made it thru the Holidays...kind of strange not to eat sweets or much of anything.  But instead of gaining I lost 10 pounds instead.  Yeah!  I am at 178 this morning so I have 43 pounds to my personal goal of 135.  I AM IN A SIZE 16 BUT ALMOST IN A 14!  I haven't been excersizing this month so I need to get back into it.  I have had no side affects from the surgery except for minor hair loss...thats to be expected!  Later

I weighed in at 188 this morning.  I can't believe that I have lost over 35 lbs since surgery and over 60 from my heaviest.  I am happy that I had the surgery done...no regrets at all!  I go in on December 11th for my 3 month follow up appt.  I'll update after that!

I did it!  I finally am in the 100's.  I was so excited when I stepped on the scale this morning!  It made my day.  I have been trying to get my 90 grams of protein in a day...though it is a bit difficult sometimes.  I am definitely
tired of drinking so much protein all the time.  I guess that I am just going to have to get used to it.   Everything else is going great and I feel wonderful.  I need to post some more current pics soon.  LATER

Went to my 6 week post op appt on tuesday...everything is going good.  I was told 2 things.  Increase my protein to 90 g a day(yuck) and to try and get more sleep!  I am down 20 lbs from surgery and am so close to onederland!!!  The Dr also told me to start trying more foods besides yogurt and cottage cheese.  I like to eat these because they go down smoothly.  I don't like tuna so he wanted me to try tofu which is high in protein.  I would love some tofu recipes if anyone has any.  Later!

This Wednesday I headed back to work!  I was ready to go back...but man was I EXHAUSTED at the end of the day.  I am an Xray tech in a hospital, so I am on my feet all day, pushing and pulling patients and equipment.  Anyway, I made it!!  I also, lost a few more pounds so now I am down about 17 since surgery, 33 since my pre op diet started, and 43 from my heaviest!!!!  I am so glad I had this surgery.  My six week post op appointment is next tuesday so I will update with my official results then.  TATA!

I had my 3 week post op appt yesterday! I have lost 12 pounds from my preop weight.  I was hoping to be a faster loser but I guess not.  I am able to start going to the gym now...so I know that will help out with the losing! I dropped down a pant size so I know that the surgery is working!!  I also get to eat something besides protein shakes now!!!  Oh yeah! Hello cream of wheat!!  I am on a full liquid diet for a week before I can start to eat pureed foods.  I think what I miss about eating the most is chewing!  Its just strange drinking all the time.  Anyway, my next appt is another 3 weeks so I am shooting for another 12 pounds lost......I will be SSSOOOOO close to ONEderland!!.  Later

Well, I am 2 weeks out and still just drinking Protein Shakes...I can't drink chocolate shakes at all now. YUCK!!!  Vanilla seems to go down the best.  I feel great besides not having much energy.  My stomach laproscopic incisions have healed nicely. I have lost about 9 pounds since my presurg weight.  I thought the weight would drop off quicker, but I guess I am not going to be that lucky!  Actually, I have gone down a pant size so I guess that counts.  I haven't had problems with nausea or vomiting...but I have only been drinking protein so that is probably why.  In about a week, I will be allowed to have some cream of wheat(plain) and a few other things........and boy, am I excited about that!  I have even gone to dinner with my husband and drank hot tea while he ate.  The wierd thing was that it didn't really bother me not to eat!  So, I have my three week appt next Tuesday and I will update then with my official weight loss.  I wanted to be over 15...doubt thats happening!  Later!
