Update!

Aug 09, 2017

So it's been a LONG time since I've updated anything. It's been a rough 7.5 years since surgery. I lost 80 pounds after surgery, but thanks to medication side effects I gained that right back again. After having 2 TIAs, I had to move to a cooler climate and focus on my health because I was in really bad shape.

However, this story does have a happy ending. I am happy to say I finally starting feeling well enough to go back to work as a server 18 months ago and have since dropped down to 149.5 from 267! I still have 24.5 pounds to lose till I hit my ultimate goal, but I've been maintaining my weight loss and it's been slow and steady loss. I don't plan on letting weight take over my life again!

5 days pre-surgery

Jan 07, 2010

So I'm sitting 5 days prior to surgery and I want it to be tomorrow. My attitude sucks (a big sorry to my family on that)...which I know is the diet, but still. :( So far I've lost 5.5 pounds (which includes the weight I gained back during the holidays) which I'm happy for every pound lost. I'm finding that I sleep a lot during the day...helps me not think about food.

I'm very excited to have this done and can't wait to start a new life. There are many things I haven't been able to do or have been uncomfortable doing and this will help me get past that. :) I just want to be comfortable in my own skin.
