Update its been 11months
Aug 19, 2009
Its been so long since my last login I have been doing great eating many new things still staying away from the grease
. Im 6 weeks away from my year mark and have only lost 90 pounds my weight fluctuates from 145 to 150
Im assuming because im eating more carbs which will stop today so I can hit 100Lbs lost at my 1 year. Everything is going great I feel I can do anything that comes my way. I will post again at my 1 year mark to tell about my weight keep in mind my goal weight was supposed to be 125 
said my surgeon but phsycology told me to keep in mind even if I only get to 140
that will be great so im going to at least reach my 140 goal suggested by the psych. keep your fingers crossed for me. Take care everyone 
15 Weeks Post-Op
Jan 23, 2009
WoW, I didn't realise I hadn't posted an update after surgery. I'm doing terrific. The surgery went good but i had a few bad day's due to my gallbladder acting up but a month after my gastric bypass i had my gallbladder taken out once that was done i felt really really great . there was a time where i had trouble controlling the pain and nausea, but like i said it was woth it I've lost about 68 pounds since my pre-op
I haven't found anything I can't eat yet. I mostly eat proteins. I do splurge on Taco Bell soft tacos every now and then
I'm still having trouble remembering to take my vitamins but i am getting better at it. I have moved to South Carolina almost 2 months ago and things are good
