Well I have lost 120 pounds and it feels great. I still have not reached my goal weight and I am 1 year out.

As of today 8/27/2008 I have lost 100 pounds!!!!

Yes I have hit 60 pounds, it seems like a dream and I just thank God that he has kept me healthy and strong to see this process thru.  I am enjoying the ride of my life on my way to the new me.

Well it is Wednesday, April 16, 2008 and I am feeling great.  I am down 54 pounds and I have never felt better.  Not even when I lost 65 pounds last year and worked out 3 times a day.  Yes an impossible schedule to keep up with.  I have all this energy and I love going outside using up that energy.  I don't feel like I am depriving myself, I think this is the best thing I ever did for myself.

Well I am almost 8 weeks out and I have lost a total of Fifty pounds.  I had my surgery on February 5, 2008 and today is April 4, 2008 and it feels great I am currently wearing a size 18/20 depends on the cut.  Boy are things different, people start to treat you differently and it is not alway a good thing.  But this surgery was not about anyone else it was about me and getting health and giving myself the best life possible with few to no co-mobidities at all.  I am completely off of blood pressure medication since the day I came home from the hospital.  I am concerned with how slow my midsection is going down, but I am trying to work out more intensely on that area but it still does not seem to be moving.  

Well I have lost a 33 lbs since my surgery on 2/5/08.  I feel that it is moving fairly slow, but I am very optimistic that it will continue to move.  I have my goail set for 150 and I am sure that I will reach that weight.  God is so good to have allowed me to reach this far and all I can see ahead is skinny.

Well I have lost a total of 23 lbs. and that is so awesome, in 2 weeks and 2 days.  I just can't help but feel like it should be so much more.  I see some people that have this surgery and they lose that in a week and even with that being said I am still greatful that my Lord allowed me to go through this surgery with smooth sailing and that I feel incredible.  And I now have bone structure that is noticeable in my face and I will soon have it back in my body.  I am loving the forming of my body but I really cant wait to see it form a little faster and to have my clothes start hanging off me.  If any one reads this and is on the fence about having this procedure, then I will tell you if you have tried everything else now try what will really work.  This is my new begining and I can't wait for each day to unfold, now if I can just stay away from that darn scale.

All is well, I had my procedure on Tuesday, February 5, 2008 I went into surgery around 10:30 am and everything was great.  When I came out of surgery my blood pressure shot thru the roof.  I stayed in recovery until around 3:00 pm and they got my blood pressure stabilized.  I was released from the hospital on Thursday, February 7, 2008.  It was a wonderful hospital experience and I have never received that level of customer service from any business.  Great Job! Emory Johns Creek Hospital, Johns Creek, GA.  The staff there rocks!!!  

I went for a walk today and it felt great I am gasy and trying to find a way to get my protein in after feeling bloated from this gasy feeling.

Well today, I did my pre-op and I had my final visit with the surgeon.  Nothing left to do but have my RNY and go to the losing side.  I am ready and I will be  getting things in order to make my first few days after surgery as smooth as possible.  Thank you Lord for this life changing opportunity! 

Today I had my Dietician appointment to learn about all the meals I can no longer have and about the protein shakes and water I will be drinking.  I am so happy that I have only 6 days left to being on the losing side.
