Yes, we made it thru the holidays. Everything is great with me, I am only 3lbs from my goal But I am working hard to get it off I only have 24 days to my 1 year date. Hope I do but if I dont I feel I have done great anyways. I have loss 140 lbs. all together since I started this journey so I am happy I hope everybody else has a great New Year in 2010

Finally under 150, now I can set the scale at 100 and up from there that is weird. but good. I feel great I go to the ymca 3 times a week mostly swimming but I have been walking the track only a mile because my knees still bother me, need replacement in one at least the doc says. But my hernia and tummy tuck is first hopefully in March. This has been the best thing i have done in my whole life. I wished I hadnt let myself go like that but it happened and now I have control not food has control of me. I only have 13 lbs to go to my goal oh boy then  maintain. and keep exerciseing What a difference in your life and how you feel about life. I dont believe other people realize what a heavy person goes thu or feels or for that matter how hard it is to lose if weight loss surgery is the answer then do it some of us just cant stay on the weight loss programs out there, they dont look into the mental process involved that is a big thing and it is still with us at some point. We have to stay focused on all the old problems. Like eating fast and using food for confort well i use other things now like exercise is my confort now I love it and miss it when I dont go. I know my health is better dont have to take 13 pills any more only 1 and that is for menopause cant help that lol hope everybody is doing well and keep up the good work it is our life now work hard

Well I am 18 lbs away from my goal weight. It has only been 91/2 months. I feel great I go to the ymca and work out in the pool and walk the track and do machines. I love it I feel great after more energy not tired all the time. This is the best thing I have done in my whole life. I added years to my life I know I have and my health is 100 percent better. No medicine and off all blood pressure medicine. Still having knee problems but I know that needs surgery but I have to have some mesh in my stomack taken care of some time in the first of the year and the doc says a tummy tuck at the same time , great Well I go to my support meetings every month and they are very educational about what to expect down the road. But all I see is good because I am a happier person because I feel so much better and my quility of life is much better. Well I will sign on when I reach my goal which wont be long now. Good luck to everybody here and keep up the good job it is worth it.Keitha

I finally made my 100 lbs. I feel so good. less pills , blood pressure down and feeling great. I still have trouble with my knees but they need operation on them , then that will solve that problem. I hope to do my last 50 lbs and that is it for me. Just getting there and maintaining my weight is my life time achievement. Hope everybody is doing good this summer.

I am only 5 lbs. away from my 100 mark. Whoooo cant wait. I took 5 bags of clothes out of my closet and dressers. Now I have to get new oh isnt that to bad lol I cant believe how good I feel. My son visited for 2 months and just left today and I cant believe how I kept busy and had energy to do things. I will miss him thu. He lives in NY and me in MN so we only see each other about once a year but we had a great time fishing of course and going all over busy busy and he helped me so much around here. He made a boat lift for me in my garage so it is so easy to load my boat on the car and off What a great son! Take care all and hope your summer is as fun as my has been so far.

I am almost 2 months out now and I am finally getting back to the YMCA for swimming. It was hard at first but am doing better this week.  I am starting to feel like myself again. Having trouble with my blood pressure being low lol isnt that funny. Taken pills away now. Hope everybody is doing well. take care all

It has been 5 weeks since my surgery.  I was getting pretty weak but started to eat more protein. Had to eat about every 3 hours in order to feel better. But I am not eating a lot because of my pouch of course. Well it is working because I even stopped losing weight for 2 weeks but now am losing again. Thank god thought this was it. I have lose 33 pounds in 5 weeks I am happy. Since May i have lost a total of 61 lbs. so I am OK with that. I think our system has a lot to adjust to after a surgery like this and our minds too.  Well I am ready and am not stopping, onward is my motto. Hope everybody else is doing well and don't get discourage.  Look how long it took us to get this way, for me 50 years, I just hope I have 50 more years because of doing this lol well maybe 30.Good luck to all and keep on keeping on. phappp

Glad to go see dr. today. I am a little weak and keep having hot spells dont know if it is just my menopause or the weak feeling. I dont think I am getting enough protein I have been on liquid diet two weeks prio surgery then a week of cl. fluids and now on Full liquids, I am sick of liquids I think I need some regular protein. Hope that is all it is.  I dont have the strenghten to walk alot and I know I have to, well today I should find out the answers hopefully. Hope everybody else is doing good. Spring is on its way lol somewhere.  phappp

Well, everything is going good.,freinds,  I am just a little bored with the weather, hard to get out and walk. Just so much room here in the apartment  to go. Back and forth to the bathroom lol Tommorrow is suppose to go up to 30 so i will get out then. Hallalauh . I have a small tickle and cough with i drink and eat I dont think it is anything but I will ask the doctor on the 11th, I am headed back to the YMCA as soon as I can drive to walk there and when i can get into the pool I miss it was going 3 times a week.  I am handling the medicine cups of food well. Cant get all 4 oz. down. Thats ok more weight gone. I gained 5 lbs in the hospital but have lost that plus 10 this week only. Well take care all and hope all is well with you.

I came home Thursday, had my lap on Tuesday, the doctor said it went great even with the mesh tangle. He will deal with that later down the road with a tummy tuck, yes down the road had enough for now lol. I am feeling good little tired and hurting but should be back on my feet in a week or two and back to the ymca in 3 to 4 he said i am so glad it is done and over that part any ways. Had to get some Fiber in my broth for consaption but it will be ok it is early let and not much going in lol well take care everybody and will talk later phappp
