5 Months Out, 103 Lbs Down!



Recommended Posts

Sooooo.... I didn't meet my goal, folks. :( I did not make it to onederland before the new year... I made it to onederland on 1/4/12!!! That was the day that I had officially lost 100 lbs and the day that I officially hit 199.6 lbs!! I cannot believe it. Of course the scale hasn't moved again since then, but that is ok. I now have about 20-30 more lbs to lose and then I will be at goal!! Only 5 months after surgery!

I am so thankful and happy for this opportunity to enjoy life more than I ever have before. I feel better not only physically but emotionally, spiritually, romanticly..... :D. Smiles all around! I plan on spending the next few months hoping that my skin shrinks down and that I can lose 1 or 2 lbs a months until I hit goal.

Thank you to all of you who have given me kind words and encouragement. This site has been a very big blessing and a tremendous way for me to find will power when I felt weak. I love you all like family!!

PS current weight is now 197. :)

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
