Going to try very very hard to get myself back on track and get rid of the few pounds i gained and keep myself active each and everyday....
Spring 10
May 06, 2010
I look good at the weight that I am at, but like all the others that have had the fear of gaining your weight back, I want to address it now! And so goes the ongoing work of life~
I hope that all the others that have had this demon living under the surface will also begin to deal with it and get rid of it once and for all.
In health and love, Teresasmiles~
Summer
Jun 26, 2009
Do we ever not feel fat anymore? I think that it is something that will live in my head for ever and ever. I am thi nking of going to some counseling regarding that. I think that I have some unresolved issues with my past and I am afraid that they will creep back to the surface and start me on a path of destruction. I didn't go through this surgery to go backwards! So onwards I go.
I am trying to come to terms that I may be at the size I am meant to be, and that having a 135 goal may not be feasable for me.
I hope that all are doing well and keep doing well.
One Year ago!
Feb 08, 2009
One year ago today I was having a change made to my body that ultimatley not only changed my body but my mind, and spirit. I am 115 pounds lighter in body, and 100% happier in my life. Making the decision to have this surgery was one of the best decsions that I have ever made. I thank the Lord above for making it possible to have had this surgery. I am not at my goal yet, but am ok with where I am. I will get to my goal eventually. My mindset is that it took many years to get to the size I once was, it isn't going to dispear in a year. I am on my way though. I thank my family for the never ending support that they have given me with this journey. I thank you all on this board for your support to. This board has been a god send to me. Teresa
2009
Jan 01, 2009
Well it is 2009. A fresh start to the new year. I hope that my health just keeps getting better and better as the new year starts. Last night was the first New Years Eve that my hubby and I went out and celebrated the night in for like ever.
We have freinds that own the local pub where we live and they had a private ticketed party there last night. We went and had a wonderful time.
I am in a size 8 and feelig great. I need to start doing some serious excercising and ge my routine in order. It is hard to go outside and walk when it is only 16 degrees outside, so that leaves my excercise limited. Anyways, I hope everyone had a great new years evening and has a wonderful healthy and happy new year.

wow
Dec 21, 2008
Let me just say cheers to me! I am finally at what they consider a normal bmi for my height. Yee ha. I didn't ever think that I would acheive that. I still want to loose 15 or 20 more pounds. I am thrilled with where I am at the weight. I would be exstatic to achieve my goal of 135 to 140. It would be awesome to get there before my surgery anniversary, but if I don't, no biggie. I know that the last twenty might take a bit, It just makes me thrilled to be at a normal bmi though. Anyways, thought that I should document that and how I feel right now.Teresa

To those of us thathave had this surgery, we are truly blessed...
A couple of wows
Jul 28, 2008
Ok, so I haven't posted in a longtime. I am slooooowly loosing. I guess according to the dr. that is ok, it is coming off, just not in leaps and bounds. I know it is moslty due to me nt getting enough food in. I am doing better with the water, but the food thing is hard when you aren't hungry all the time. I have lost 79 pounds in just about six months. I can't be disapointed with that. I am now in a size 14, which is freaking awesome to me. We were at a family reunion this weekend and I had some of the family members not recognize me at first. Then on Saturday night the hubby and I went out with a friend of mine that I haven't seen since I had my surgery in February. She was like "wow, you look awesome, hot and great hair". It felt so good to hear that. My hubby is starting to get real attentive to me now, that is nice, we have a great relationship. We are celebrating our 25 anniversary next week. I hope that everyone else is having a great summer and is feeling good.
UGH A STALL
Jun 26, 2008
Ugh, a stall. I am letting the stall get to me. I know that we have to go through the stalls, but when you are loosing and then you get below that 200 pound mark and then it stops, it makes one panic a bit. Makes you worry that you are done, this is it! I hope not, I am believing that this is my body catching up. I would love to hear from some of my friends out there that have or are having the same issue. I also am having a hard time getting the amount of protein that I am supposed to be getting, I think that I am going to have to go and do the protein shake thing, Maybe that is why I have slowed down. I have notice that I am also all of a sudden tired again. Maybe my iron is low again. Other than that I feel great. Am walking 2 to 3 miles a day. When it isn't raining. I know that my clothing size is going down, I am now in a 16 and on my way into 14s. YAY. I cut my hair a bit shorter, I have to update some pictures here. I have always used my hair as a hiding tool from my very round and chubby face. Now that my face is slimming down, I wanted shorter hair.
will post more later, along with some pictures. I hope to hear from some of you out there soon.

4 month's out
Jun 01, 2008
Ok, so I am out 4 months out, just about anyways. And I have to say, I am feeling very very good. Lot's of energy, I can't seem to sit for too long, which is a nice change from not having any energy at all. I have not been disapointed with choosing to have this surgery. I feel and look better every day. I hope that all my friends here are doing as well. It is so nice to look forward to each and everyday! I hope every one has a great summer. Teresa
