Its been awhile since I have posted on here!!!! The past yr has gone by sooo FAST!!! Everything has been going well at home and at work. My weight has been at a hold for the last 3-4months. I have lost a total of around 96lbs. It feels so good to walk into any department store and have a choice in clothing. I still tend to find myself picking up jeans that are 2 sizes too big and having to make a return trip to the dressing room with a smaller size. It also feels good to no longer be the chucky girl with pretty face.

Well I sure am ready for the weekend to hurry up and get here!!!! I've been very busy at work...my boss bought new laser equipment. We've been remodeling our office. Lots of learning...training.....moving and paint over the last few weeks. I THINK I"M DUE FOR A RAISE...hahaha
As far as my weight loss.....i'm stuck!!! My scale hasn't moved in 2weeks!!! Sometime I start to feel discouraged when I see that other people just seem to keep dropping without any issues. I ask myself what am I doing wrong??? I have 4 more months before I have my 1yr visit with my doctor...and I need to drop 20lbs so that can reach my doctors goal. My goal would be to loss 30-35lbs within the next 4month.

Everything has been going well so far.... I am now down 90lbs... but the weight loss has slowed down. I find that my weight will freeze for a month..then I'll drop 3-5lbs. July 7th my sister in-law married and I saw family members that hadn't seen me in over 1yr... I was happy to hear that I was unreconizable to some. This was the first time in many years that I looked forward to shopping for an outfit and I didn't have to come up with excuses not to attend the wedding. I have dropped from a size 22 down to a size 12!!! I no longer have any back pain, knee pain, and can sleep well....so can my husband now that i'm not keeping him awake with my snoring.

Hello, It's been a long time since i have posted here. I haven't been able to post due to computer being down. I'm 3 months out now and feel GREAT!!! I have lost 62lbs....and look forward to loosing the rest. I have been doing well with foods...I have been able to tolerate most foods without getting sick. I do have problems getting all my protein in, I haven't found any protein products that are edible...YUCK!! I also have noticed some of the foods I use to love make me sick to even look at...like hamburgers and pizza....I use to love them, but now get grossed out to see or smell them. I no long snore up a storm...and my husband can now get some sleep even without ear plugs. I no long wake up with back pain... and I can hop out of bed without my feet and heels hurting.

Hi Everyone, I'm a mom of three from central cali.....son16yr, daughter14yr, son11 months. I have a wonderful husband....he is sweet, kind and a great dad. My husband has been very supportive..... we have been together for 4yrs and he is one of the best things to come into my life. I have been looking into wls for a few yrs now.... with the urge to persue...yet fear of the unknown. I work in the medical field and have observed some of our patients who have gone thru the process of wls....I have recently started asking more and more question of them regarding their experiences and the changes in their bodies and lives. Reponses have been positive....and I now feel that I am ready to continue my journey with wls. I have attended a seminar in Fresno with Dr Felix, I've completed my psych eval, completed lab work, completed my all my paper work.... this was all submitted to my insurance...and I was amazed that i was approved in 4short days. I'm am 5'6" with a BMI of 43...I recently found out with the required labs for wls that I have a glucose that is borderline....hypothyroid....elevated liver enzymes....gezzzz..I guess I'm falling apart!!! Besides all that I have achey knees, ankles that swell, and difficulty sleeping due to my back aching....and when I do sleep ...my poor husband looses sleep due to my awful snoring...which has increase with every pound I put on :( I'm excited, nervous and scared of what lies ahead....but I guess it normal to have those feeling...as from what I have been reading on here.

I received a letter from my surgeons office confirming a surgery date of Nov 2nd. I think the next few weeks will be stressful!!! I am busy getting ready for my baby's 1st B-Day....My in-laws will be coming down from San Diego, Zachary is their 1st grandchild...so they can't miss his special day. My back has been out all week making it hard to get things done at home. I'm hoping it will ease up so I can get things done here. Work will be very busy also...my boss has agreed to pay me while i'm out recovering from surgery as long as I work a few extra hrs once a week before surgery to give flu shots to our patients. I work with my sister and I want to make sure I take care of as much as I can prior to surgery..I would never want to leave her in a situation of extra stress at work. My boss is doing ok at this point with the thought of me being gone from work for awhile.....gezzzz.....sometimes he acts like the world is going to stop if my sister or I are not at work. Even if we disappear for an hour!!!! But regardless we do have a great boss... he's a very caring and kind doctor...who has high family values. We are even allowed to take our kids to work.....I see that they have become therapy to some of our patients....many of the eldery patients come in and the first thing they ask is where are they kids....we have a breakroom/nursery in our office. I am thankful everyday for the fact that i can care for my baby and work without putting him in daycare.
