So I've taken the plunge & had a tt done 10-22-12 & man o man did I hurt ouch! Lol too soon to see serious end results but so far so good!

 O m g it's been so long since I have written wow but I have been thinking about how I am approaching my 3rd year after  WLS. 
So many things have changed my mind, my body, my goals, I would truly say that I am blessed in many ways.
Since my surgery there have been many friends that have decided to take this journey some thought RNY, some through lap band. I truly believe that this decision to have this surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I feel fit, sexy, confident, younger, life is really good. I am currently weighing in @ 143lbs. This is the same weight as my 20 year old daughter lol! Lately I have been really thinking of plastic surgery because under the clothes the body looks like a train wreck. 
Perhaps someday I will be able to afford it. I'm going to try to blog each month or so, no promises though lol because once you have had WLS life starts to begin & time dwindles! I will leave with wishing all WLS folks good health & prosperity!

wow its been almost 2 years i still cant believe it ! & i have finally made my goal weight I'm so happy today i cant even completely express it! omg I'm ecstatic so fellow loser's now its on to the next goal (which I'm not sure of yet) but i know i will think of something!   any suggestions?

Wow i know, i know its been a loooong time lol. I'm doing well I am almost @ my goal 1 darn lb to go! life has been good. A bit of ups & downs in regards to relationships but i was advised that was to be expected! Hello Haters!!!!! I have lost a few friendships but i have gained so many many more!  My daughter has also opted for WLS she is now almost 1 year out & doing great she is down 100lbs ! July will be 2 years for me & again no major problems except a little twing of heart burn (not sure what that's about?) & i still cant wear my shirt in my pants too much belly skin i guess oh well perhaps some day i will be able to afford a tummy tuck .  Hoping all is well with everyone on OH & when u see those haters tell them Shelly said hello!

As i embark upon reaching my goal i am very close just 9 pounds to go yay!  I am also troubled by the issues that come with weight loss. What issues you ask ? well the biggest one for me is i now find i hate my life (love me, my weight loss, the way i look) but hate my life. Perhaps i have simply become super selfish, not really sure. I now find myself constantly arguing w my spouse, kids etc. and immersing myself w after work outings w co-workers & girlfriends, This is very strange this is not something i was warned about!  not sure what the future will hold but i hope it gets better!

Hopped on the scale today and it said 159.0  I AM UNDER 160 WOW it sure feels good i am 9 pounds from my goal weight and would truly like to know what will be my next goal. I have a few things in mind one may be to let go of some excess family baggage idk time will tell.  I will say this though this wls is a psychological roller coaster!   wow ! 

OK here goes...... as i reach my 1 year surgiversary  wooo hooo on my actually  1 year date an interesting thought came to me (maybe shallow but here goes) I have a best friend , a childhood friend .. we have been friends for over 20 years. She has always been thin, beautiful, etc. I have always been the "fat friend" now with children and plain old life we gain weight lose weight, things begin to go south  lol. So now we fast forward to the present. I  really don't recall ever asking her what her weight was ever  but perhaps I thought to be thinner than her was something I would never attain. We were @ a cookout yesterday My Surgiversary, we were talking about my weight loss and I told her we should work out etc, etc then she told me what she weighed kaaaapow! it hit me i actually way 20lbs less than she does woooow. i couldn't believe it i actually wanted to cry but i kept my composure but I was beaming inside! Now to some this may be vain and not very nice but to live most of your life in the shadow, invisible as most overweight folks do this sure does feel GOOD !  what a wonderful anniversary present

First I would like to say I know I know its been a long time since I have written but I must say that this roller coaster leaves little time for blogging once you get on it. My life has really changed and as I embark on my  year SURGIVERSARY (hooray), I feel excited and happy. I am almost @ my goal and I am down 60 pounds! (I am what is called a lightweight) ? go figure! lol. I have gone through personal growth and I am finding that I am outgrowing allot of people in my life even close family, and that does hurt a bit but I find that this is a time that I have to be selfish for myself because I did this for me and no one else! I do hope and pray that the years to come will be as good or better and that my friends and family will be more understanding of my journey!

In conclusion I would like to say best wishes to all who share this awesome journey

Shelly

havent written in a while but all i can say right now is 50lbs gone Thank God !!!!!!!!

OK Its been 6 months (my 6 month surgiverary was 1-16-10)I must say i feel great, but i do feel that my old eating habits are truly trying to creep back into my life. I'm down 47 lbs and have 27 lbs more to go to get to my goal. I truly thank God for allowing me to get this surgery and to have no problems related to it! I hope this update finds all wls peeps in good health and weight loss abundance!
