I had my glaabladder taken out yesterday.  This is much easier than the gastric bypass, however still tired and have some pain.  I amhoping to feel much better and get soem more energy after i recover.

I did it.  100 lbs gone.  I am where I want to be now and hopefully will not lose much more.  This journey has been tough, but it has been SOOO worth it.  For those that are in their first 2 months and wondering what you have done to yourself, hang in there it will all be worth it!

I have 8 more lbs to losing a total of 100.  I am so happy.  If I wouldn't lose another lb., I would still be happy, however just to say i lost 100 would be great!

Well I am down 77 lbs.  I feel amazing and I am getting so many compliments.  I have got to post new pictures!  I got a new hair cut everyone loves it.  I feel amazing.

It took a while to admit, but I am SOOO glad I had this surgery.  I have lost 65 lbs and feel wonderful.  I still don't have all of the energy I would like but everything else is great.  I know I am still not tiny but everyone around me is calling me skinny.  I never thought I could be called that without a laugh coming behind it.  This has been the scariest journey ever and has been very hard.  I am still proud I did it.

I am at 200 today.  So very happy.  I will be very happy when I don't have to put a 2 in front of those other two numbers.  Things are going very good as far as my surgery goes.

Is things getting back to normal?  I am afraid to say yes.  I am back to work and doing pretty good except for some back pain.  I do have to go Monday to get my Stricture stretched but hopefully it wil be the last time.  I am losing weight and feeling good.  My biggest fear at this point is losing my hair since I didn't get the protein in during the first couple of months since I was so sick.  Hopefully I won't be totally bald.  People at work have been great and telling me how wonderful I am doing and how good I look.  I can't wait till summer to get into nice clothes.

I am doing much better...still not 100% some days but much better.  Here is my turning point.  My son was flown by Wings last Thursday to Children's Hospital.  I puked the whole drive there.  I PRAYED and PRAYED!  I begged God to let my baby live and to help me feel better so i could be there for him.  I woke up the next day and felt Good.  I have only had one bad day since.  God answered my prayers.  I had my first WOW moment.  I went shopping for an outfit for my support group meeting and put on and bought a size 16 pants and XL shirt...I cried it felt so wonderful.  Thank you God for all of my blessings!

Yesterday was a very hard day for me.  I had went Monday to get my stricture stretched and yesterday I woke very sick.  I was sick all day and I had to drive my son over an hour to a doctor and spend the day there.  I cried on my way back.  I was stressed to the limits and just wanted the naseua to go away.  I have done a little better today but still very sick.  I just wish it would get better soon.  I see my surgeon tomorrow so hopefully he can help. 

Well I went to the doctor Thursday and he put me in the hospital for dehydration.  They ran tests and I had a stricture.  I hope this has been the root of my problem.  I hope this is a good turning point.  I also still have the pain in my side.  I hope it gets better soon also.  I go back in the nxt two weeks to stretch my stricture again.  Well until next time!
