2 years and 6 months out
Jul 14, 2011
I see I havent posted since I was 15 months out. So much has happned. I recently got my degree in social work. I also had a beutifull baby girl 5 months ago. I am still up 6lbs from where I started with her. I am starting to be more conscious on what I am eating since I still can't eat much at a time. It also seems like I'm hungry more often so I'm allways trying to find some type of protein to snack on but we need to go grocery shopping. My days are curently spent playing with my daughter and looking for jobs. I will losse the last 6lbs of baby weight b4 she turns one even if I have to go on a liquid diet for a week. Really thinking of it just dont have money for protein shakes. But when I do I will get some shakes and drink them for a week straite gotta fit in that brides maide dress. I also had a really difficult pregnancy. I didn't think getting pregnant at year and 5 months would be so hard on me. I had the hardest time getting food in. I had to make myself eat. I was eating alot of slider foods just to get it in for her. Still my little pumpkin only weighed in at 5lbs 1oz. I belive her IUGR was related to me not being able to eat enough but who knows. I wouldn't trade my surgery for the world. I would do it all over again. Without it I wouldn't have my baby girl or the wonderfull life I have. Her father may not be around be she is the best little accident that has ever happend to me. Well heres a little pic of whats been keeping me so busy.

15 months out
Mar 22, 2010
so i am now 15 months out not much is going on. school is really hectic and driving me crazy. some days i have to remind myself to eat other days it seems like im eating to much, but it just seems that way since i didnt eat much the day before. if i could stick to eating the right amount of protein and calories a day i could probley loose those last 30lbs. but some days it is so hard to eat. some daays i look at food and want nothing to do with it. i literly have to force myself to eat or ill get to shacky to function. well this is a short update but decided i should do one since i didnt do one last month. have a blessed week every one.

13 months out and need some help
Jan 28, 2010
So i know my 13 month aniversery was technochly last friday, but with work and school didnt have time to write. not much has changed with me. the last time i weighed i was 174. i hate hoping on the scale and not seeing the number move so i just dont get on it. Lately all ive been wanting is sex. I want a relationship, but at this point i could say screw a relationship and just have a sex partner. before surgery i could take or leave sex now ever since my surgery i want it all the time. anyone else feel this way? i dont allways act out on this urge, but i so wish i could. this semester is going to be a very trying one. even though i am only taking 13 hrs it is still 5 classes. one of these classes has a 20 page pointless paper to it. but i am going to put my all into it. once i finish this semster its all down hill from here. my next strugle is lately ive been so nasues and havent been eating like i should. ive been eating more pretzels then anything do to the salt content that helps with my nasusnous. i just dont want to have to be on ant acids again. i cant afford them so i dont want them. aso lately my pouch has just been feeling so tight. i can barley fit much solid protein in my pouch. should i be worried about this? i can fit grapes in my pouch, pretzels, mashed potates, and yougart just fine. i tried eating an apple and just about throw that up 
. i dont know if this is something i should be contacting my surgan about or just ignore it. well thats it for now. anyone who is reading my blog if u could answer my qustions that would be most apprciated 
. love all my oh peeps.

Transfer Adiction
Jan 05, 2010
I don't have a transfer adiction as far as I know. But if i was going to have one it would probley be alcohol. The problem with that is since rny alchol hits me harder and makes me feel funny and i can't do the things i need to so therfore i dont really drink unless it is a special occasion or something like that. Before RNY i would just eat my feelings away, but thats not possiable now. my pouch can only handle so much food. i dont like throwing up so im not going to push trying to eat to much sugar or over eating. Since my surgery I have learned alot about myself and who I am. The one thing I really want is to find love, but evedently that is not ment for me. Every guy ive ever dated has been a jack ass and done nothing but walk over me. since my surgery i can spot an ass hole from a mile away but occasionaly they sneak by some how. The way i feel tonight i normale would eat until im happy or take a drink, but i cant do any of these things so i dont know what to do. so the best thing i can do is to blog. Maybe getting out how I feel will make me feel better. i'm just sick of having my heart broken over and over again. i dont know how much more my heart can take. maybe im ment to be alone forever or maybe the guy that is ment for me dosent excist. im not to picky. size, shape, color dont matter to me. what matter is that the guy be honest, loving, and understanding. maybe that person dosent exsist b/c i sure in hell havent found him here. well i feel a little better im gonna go drink some water play a computer game and then go to bed. if you actully read through this thank you for reading my little rant. i love my oh family. writting is the best way i can talk out my feelings. have a goodnight all.

11 MONTHS OUT AND FEELING GREAT
Nov 22, 2009
so i am now 11 months out today. man this has been a crazy ride. i am down to 178lbs. not loosing much weight latey but i do have to say i think i am still loosing inches due to the fact that my jeans dont fit anymore realy im constently pulling them up. the one pair of jeans that fit perfectly came from good will back in june. i bought a size oldnavey 16 and grew out of those within a month or two. the others where a size 14 from new york in componey. b4 going to the conference in dallas i could zip them and button but couldnt breath the other day i put them on and they fit great so i say i am loosing inches even if im not loosing the lbs right now. i love wearing dresses now. if i could find cute casule dresses to weare everyday i would wear them everyday, but for now i will stick with my leggins and jeans. i love being able to run up stairs and not be winded when i get to the top. this has been the greatest change in my life. i would do it again in a heartbeat. I have told myself when the semster is over i need to be in the gym as much as i can. i am just so paronoid about gyms. I have this feeling that everyones looking at me and wonderinng y am i in there. i have to get over this feeling and get my booty moving. right now my exercise is walking around campus and parking far away from things. i mean any movement is better than no movement. well that is all i can think of for now just cant belive i made it this far.

10 MONTHS OUT
Oct 22, 2009
So today is my ten month surgery versery. I feel lighter and happier. I am kind of upset that i keep going up and down the same two pounds but it happens which is why i dont weigh myself everyday other wise ided be crazy. I went dress shoping today for a friends wedding and I can ware a regular 14 or 16 depending on how it is cut. this makes me happy b/c i never thought i would see a dress withought a number and a letter attached to it. I can go into any store and buy clothes from it and im not limited to just a few. the greatest wow moment was putting on my rain boots for the first time after surgery and they actully fit. when i bought them they were to tight around my calfs and i had to unbuckle them in order to weare them and they still werent comfortable now i can have them buckled and they fit wonderfully. beside that nothing realy new in my life. I love my rny and would do it all again. i cant belive its all ready been ten monthes and next month my mom will be one year out and i just cant belive how fast time flies. well thats all.

9 MONTHS OUT
Sep 22, 2009
I am 9 months out and havent felt better about myself. I am now trying to workout at least twice a week w/ some friends. I bought my first two piece bathing suite and i love it. I would have never bought a two piece b4 surgery. I have started loosing weight again that makes me happy. I am about three lbs away from loosing a 100lbs from my highest weight. For me this is the best descion I could have made. I hate that I cant realy eat chicken anymore b/c i love chicken but its ok i can live w/out chicken theres plenty of good protein to eat. So another month down and I couldn't be happier.
8 MONTHES OUT
Aug 23, 2009
Yesterday was my 8 month surgerversery. I am feel good to be this far out. My weight loss has slowed down a little but it just means I am going to have to get myself in the gym and start working on these pounds to get to a healthy weight for my height. School starts tommorow and I am scared to death. I have been on a preaty good eating schedule this summer, but that is about to change since I will be at school for 6 hrs for 3 days a week. Theres no real time in between m y classes the most time i have is 15 mins thats saying they let us out on time. I also know if I dont eat enough and drink enough that will hender how much I will lose to. I just am going to have to figure something out in order to get the food and liquid in, Wish me luck. I am hoping I can get closer to my goal by december when ill be a year out. I am happy that I am now officialy a size 14p. I also found some realy cute clothes yesterday at jcp in the jrs. section where everything was buy one at regular price get the other for a dollar. Not a bad deal at all. Who would have ever thought I would be able to find such great prices and clothes in the jrs section. I am glad I took this journey and would do it all over again in a heart beat.
