Just days shy of being one year and five months post op!!  I have been at a steady weight though the summer.  I have been maintaining my weight within 5 pounds.   Today I hit another LOWEST weight, so I was happy about that.  We are planning a big Christmas/New Year's Holiday this year.  We'll be with my family in Mississippi at our family hunting camp, which the kids and my husband LOVE!!!  We'll be there for 19 days, no phones, no internet..... just peace and quiet...

I'm so close to my goal.... I KNOW I'll get there, it may just take me a little longer than I anticipated... 

My 4 year old son and I are getting over STREP. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!

I'm so excited to be at this point.  I couldn't be happier.  I seem to be more back on the wagon, so to speak since my 1 year anniversary.  I'm swimming alot with the kids and trying to be more aware of the EMPTY calories I'm taking in.  So far, I'm down 103.5 pounds.  I have 6.5 pounds to go to reach my goal of 145.

Done! Your Ticker:

July 16, 2008 2 weeks from my one year anniversary AND........

 I hit 100.5 pounds lost TODAY!!!  I'll add more details later, hopefully with my century club card attached.

Just a quick update!!!

Well, I'm nearly 9 months out and have been in the 160's seems like forever.  I've literally been 161 and 160 for nearly 10 weeks. I finally made it into the 150's!!  Just barely, but I made it....   159.5

In exactly one week from today I'll be sitting in the sand on the beach in GULF SHORES, AL!!!  My husband is taking a week off work to stay home with our 2 kids and let me go on a GIRLS TRIP!!!  I can't wait, it'll be my sister, cousins and some of their friends!!  I'm not sure what how I'm going to act with NO KIDS, NO SPOUSE!!!  What better timing to celebrate for reaching my 150's!!!

6.5 inches left wrist                l
14 .75inches neck                       
15 inches right calf              
21 inches right upper thigh   
39.5 inches around hips didn't measure before
34 inches around waist (smallest part) didn't measure before
38 inches around belly (at belly button)   
40 inch at bust           

All is grand here.  Love drinking my MonaVie!!!

I weigh 161.5, which I've been at for over month now.  The weight loss is really, really slowing down.  But then again, I'm able to eat any and everything - ONLY IN MODERATION!!! I couldn't asked for any better results from my RNY!!

This picture is from Feb 2008

Here are my current measurements and Losses to the right since surgery.

I made it to 165!!  So now 20 pounds until my personal goal of 145 and 30 pounds until closer to the doctors  goal.

I did find a lady that is my height and weighed about the same as I did pre-op.  Today, she's a little less than one year post op and she's at her goal weight of 125!  She emailed me and said yes it is possible for me to make it to 120's, if that's what I want to do.  Wow, I would have never even imagined me at 150 pounds, EVER!!!  So it's seeming a little more possible with every pound I loose.  It is very slow.  I usually stay the same or go up or down a pound or two for 3- 4 weeks and typically in one week I'll drop like 4-6 pounds.  As you can tell I just hit my week for the loosing, so I'm pretty excited.  It sure can get frustrating, the other 3-4 weeks doesn't seem like I'm ever going to loose a pound. I just made it out of the "obese" category and I'm only in the "overweight" category.  Wow, who would have thought being "overweight" would feel so good!!  LOL !  I guess the virus we've had has also helped me.  Thank goodness we are all feeling better today!!! 

Anyway, just thought I'd pass on the news.  Thanks for each one of your support through this process!  One day at a time!

Day of surgery: 7/30  255
Today: 169.0

Loss since surgery: 86 pounds  24 pounds to go to my personal goal

Finally the scale moved out of the 170's!!!

After a long day and a mess up with my appointment time AND Location, I made it to see Dr Kuhn's PA.  She has me loosing 84 pounds.  She's expecting that I'll make it to 120-130 in 6 months, possibly a year.  That's another 40ish pounds.  I weighed 170.5 at home today.    Honestly, I'm sticking to MY Personal goal of 143.  I'm 5'3"  (yes SHORT), but I don't think I'll make it to 120 pounds.  I passed that weight in probably elementary/jr high.  Only time will tell!!!   I had all my labs done, so we'll see in a couple of weeks what the results are.
