I Am In Control Now!

I am so excited....The Wii can no longer tell me to "GET OFF", it used to tell me how mobildy obese I was and until I changed that it would not let me play I was "TOO FAT". Well today I had the most amazing thing happen, I stepped on the scale and low and behold it read under 300#, this is the first time in over 12 yrs...I can say that I have seen the number under my feet.   I have so much energy and have rewarded myself with new dining room walls and living room wainscoting....LOL, funny it

Validation Of Change!

I have since surgery lost 52 lbs....I have been dwelling on where I had lost the weight...to me my face looks no different (but people keep saying your face is thinner) to me my waist does not feel or look smaller (yet I am wearing a 24 vs. 28)...but I just do not SEE the difference...I still see myself as Fat (well I still am but a thinner fat...LOL)   I was sitting in my office yesterday when in came a woman from out in the county who is a very good and loyal customer....Who by the way did n

First Major Mile Stone Since Wls

Wow!! Today marks a 50 lb loss...the most I have ever lost in one sitting...and the weight continues to melt away....I am excited when I meet up with friends and family who havn't seen me in a while who compliment me on how thin my face looks and even my own brother says he can see the loss in my waist line....   Easter was a challenging day! I got up early and quickly whipped up 3 pumpkin pies and a chocolate cream pie. I put the big ole' ham in the oven to bake with a brown sugar mustard g

4 Wks Post Op

Well today marks 4 wks to the day after my WLS, I have lost 45 lbs total since booking surgery date (14 lbs before surgery 31 since having the surgery).   I have been back to water arobics now for 2 weeks, and am loving every day....3 X a week with a group of 5 - 7 ladies...all are so supportive and tell me how wonderful I look. I don't see the loss really myself, but everyone comments on my face being thinner....now what I do notice is my pants falling down....never been much for the gangste

Comin Along On My New Way Of Life

Well, today is day 14 I am now 2 weeks post opt. I am still feeling super, I have been back to work since Monday and am tired at night but feel good the next morning. I have lost 26 lbs. today is the first day I didn't see the scale fall...:-(   I am struggling with the family trying to make every wonderful pastery, cookie, donut and pie they know how, all in one week they made a huge batch of brownies , blackberry pie and turn overs, donuts, and homemade french fries....grrr...and then they

Back Home To Harney County

Yesterday, I flew home to Redmond, closest airfield to Home Town.... I greeted my husband after being gone 11 days from home, he smiled, gave me a superficial kiss and began to question why I didn't just have my 47 lb bag as a carry on. I explained it was too heavy for me to cart across the airports to the 3 planes I had to board and unboard...more convienience and the fact it would have been hard on my incisions.   I was wiped out, I got a little clastraphobic on one of the flights and had

Back Across The Border

I left Almater Hospital this morning around 7:15 a.m.   First of all I should complement the hospital and the staff and a huge Thank You to Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos to a job well done! Blanka and Yolanda, you girls were so ultra Awesome!! You made the stay comfortable and less stressfull.   Saturday before surgery scheduled on Monday, I came in for routine blood work, the lab was not moving as quickly as Yolanda thought they should, so she moved me into a private room had a lab man come t

The Road To Wls Has Been A Long One!

I have been heavy up and down all my life. I had thought about the RNY but it seemed to drastic and way out of reach dolllar wize in the states. I recently just 2 years ago saw a dr. in Bend Oregon who before he would see me had to have cash up front of $2500 just for some simple tests and exam. well that was a waste of cash! well tax return came and went...other things are always more important than yourself.   I finally had a visit with a local girl in Burns who had Dr. Aceves perform her
