Good Morning All
I am so very happy today, it is one year since I had wls and I have lost and maintained so far 132lbs!!!! I am determined never to see anything near 200lbs ever again!!! I has been a long and sometimes frustrating journey but I have no regrets and I'm looking forward to better things in my life!!!
I am so happy, energize and ready to take on the world!!
One year ago today no one could have told me I would feel such joy and pride and would walk with my head held high and with a swagger that would get a second look in a good way not because I was "that fat lady or the big girl in the bunch!!"

Thank you God for my second chance!!!

Good morning All:

I know its been a minute since I've posted but I am learning to live my life to the fullest and to enjoy the new and improved me.
It has been 9 months since my rebirth and I am presently down to 162.3 lbs and loving every minute of it!!!! I came from wearing a size 22-24 to now wearing a size 10 pants!! and medium tops!!! Go Figure!! :oD!!
Every time I think of where I came from (287lbs) to where I am now I just want to sit down and cry... the only side effect that I am now is loose skin but God willing that will be taken care of also.
I am doing exercise but not as often as I should, I am making a conscious decision to be more diligent about getting my exercise in.
I love the new freedom that WLS has given me to do all the things that I couldn't, to have the energy and the will to be active again. LIFE IS GOOD!!
This summer I want to ride a bike, I haven't rode a bike in like 30 yrs!!! Wish me luck!!
Well that's it for now and I promise to post a little more often.
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!

Good Morning:
This is a great day for me, I have finally made it into the onderland, I am officially out of the 200's, I now weigh 198lbs and I literally brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.
I know to those who don't understand our world, our constant battle this isn't much and they feel we took "the easy" way out but I know there was nothing easy about this, its a help and a new way of life and I Thank my God every day for helping to achieve every goal I have reached.

Good Morning All!

I am ecstatic to see the scale taking a downward spiral, I weigh myself every Tuesday and to my surprise I now weigh 201!!! that is so fantasy I am so overjoyed!!
Hopefully by next week I will be in the hundreds, like 199!!! LOL!!! I went from a size 22/24 to a size 14/16!! Yesterday I tried on a coat to go to work and it just hung on me and I had to get a coat from my mom, she wears a 16!!!!
Just continue to pray for me and my success!!

Hi I'm Vee and I'm sort of new here, I've been a member for a while but never posted.
I had my RNY on 6/2/10, I would say that I was prepared for it because I did all my research and made my peace with God, who gave me the answers I needed to proceed on my journey.
To tell you the trust for about 3 years or more I was a very unhappy person because I had gained alot of weight and began secluding myself from my friends and doing anything outside of the house besides going to work, church and only outing with my immediate family.  I felt like I was the biggest thing walking the face of the earth.  I cried a lot and just hated myself.
I finally said enough is enough I cannot do this by myself anymore, I was in constant pain, my knees were in pain and my back and breathing were labored.
After my surgery and my first week doctor visit I lost 15lbs!!!! I was ecstatic and I got pass the liquid stage (the hardest) and learned what to eat and what my pouch will allow, the weight has been dropping I started out weighing 287lbs and I now weigh 210!!! YEAH!! (tooting my own horn!!!)
I am now able to walk anywhere without huffing and puffing, I am in the gym almost daily doing yoga!! (go figure!) dancing and using all the machines in the gym!! You couldn't have told me this would be me a year ago!!
This surgery literally saved my life!!  I will be celebrating my jubilee this year, I will be 50 and fantastic!! and I am having a great time wearing everything I couldn't before!
Sorry for being so long winded but I am happy and healthier and loving life!
Oh yea, I went to Puerto Rico this year and actually wore a bathing suit without being embarassed!! and looked great too!!
