About Me:
Had my surgery January 14th, 2009 in Henderson with Dr. Rutledge. Doing well at about a month out, down close to 30 lbs.

April 26/09
I am now at 14.5 weeks and have lost 71 lbs so far! I am feeling great and have become much more active. My poor little doggie can't keep up with me anymore. I am wearing my size 16's and mostly XL tops. I have trouble with carbs, sugar and fat so I stay away from them.

July 22/09
Wow, I haven't updated this in a while. I am currently at approximately 6 months out, and down to 199.5 which I hit on July 5th. Total lost so far 102.5, and I expect to loose some more next week. I bounce around for most of the month and loose it all in the week following my period. Still figuring out foods as I am adding in new stuff. I have found I really love mussels; yummy, has protein and feels good in my tummy. I probably have not been getting enough protein, but I am working on it. Tomorrow I do my 6 month blood work. I am wearing mostly 14's and size L, but have a couple of 12's and size M. My new Lululemon hoodie is actually in an 8, which is CRAZY!!! I have been having way too much fun shopping, and need to stop NOW!!!! LOL :)

Thoughts at Week 44...

Ok, so here I am, just over 10 months out from my MGB, I have lost 157 pounds and counting, going from 302 down to 145 as of this morning. I have gone from a size 24/26 pants and 3X tops, down to a size 6/8 pants and small tops. In many ways my life is completely different, and in some ways it is the same. I am still lazy, and a procrastinator, I just can't use the excuse of my fatness anymore, and I am finding ways to deal with it constructively. Now when I go to the gym, I get on that elliptic… Continue

Yay! I'm OVERWEIGHT!!!!!!!

I can't believe it, this morning when I woke up I was no longer obese! I just about started crying. I am 7 months out and I have lost 122.5 pounds to date. I was actually getting concerned because I am loosing at the same rate as I was in the beginning. I called Sandy in Vegas and she told me I should eat higher calorie foods, so I am going to start working on that, and have been adding in a bit more juice today. Who ever thought I would have a problem loosing too fast? Not me!

It has been many… Continue

Wow Moments: 100 Lbs, Onederland, Shopping!!!!

Ok, so I haven't been on here much. Things got really busy in my life as I was preparing everything for my grandfather's big 90th birthday bash. All of the work I did for it from the invitations (making them), to the food (I catered and sourced the whole meal), the rentals (hall, dishes, decor, a/v stuff), the liquor and license, and everything else for the party. There is no way I could have had the stamina to do it all at 300 pounds. I loose weight in cycles no matter what I do. Monthly I fluc… Continue

3.5 Months Post-Op

I am not sure how and when it happened, but I am busy. Running around doing things, being active, spending fun times with friends, even cleaning up my apartment. I did a closet purge on Saturday with a friend, and I am getting rid of 3 huge trash bags full of clothes. I still have tons of clothes, as my closet was stocked with a complete wardrobe in 4 different sizes. I am fitting into most of my size 16 pants, and XL shirts, even some L shirts from H&M. As of this morning I am 230 lbs, whic… Continue

6 weeks out

Hi, so I am six weeks out now and I think I am doing pretty good. As of today I have lost 34 lbs, which is about 22% of my excess weight. I have gone from a BMI of 50.2 down to 44.6. Yay!!!

I am feeling alright although I do have problems occasionally. I can not eat in front of the fridge, this has been an ongoing learning experience but I think I finally get it. I never really noticed it, but I guess before I used to eat food from the fridge, standing up in the kitchen. Well apparently when I… Continue

Gina, I am glad you had a such a positive Thanksgiving experience. It can be both fun and stressful to get all of the compliments. I find I don't really know what to say, as there are only so many times you can repeat "thanks!", lol. I know what y...

I do believe Dr.R just posted something on the Yahoo board recently about MGB having much better results than VSG, but I know you also have less to loose. The other thing is that with the VSG they remove part of your stomach, with the MGB they don...

Green teas and white teas are full of anti-oxidants, so they are good for you and the good is WAAAY more than the bad from the tannic acid in the tea. Black teas and coffee only have the bad part, so it's a no go.

Hi Ben, I was doing all my research and applying for surgery as I was following the progress of both you and your wife. I am actually surprised I did not have you added as a friend already. I know I have been a very rapid loser, but things are fin...

Hey Carey, congrats on your fabulous journey-you look awesome and I'm sure you're feeling awesome too! I was just watching your youtube videos and wanted to let you know that you are not alone with your hormonal weight loss. I too only loose weight about one or two weeks out of the month and then am the same the other weeks. During my period (which has consistenly lasted 2+ weeks since surgery) I lose weight-and that's the only time when the scale will budge. So its the only time in my life that I am happy to get my period LOL! I've mentioned this in my updates with Dr. P, but haven't gotten a response. I assume it's ok or he would have said something. I never took the patch in the beginning or anything and am on an implanted hormonal birth control that actually caused me to lose my period for a year. Sorry if this is too much information, but your post really got me thinking and made feel a little better that someone else knew what I was going through somewhat.

Hi Carey - Wow, you're a real success story. Is there a downside? Are complications a problem? I will have the surgery done in Dec. Wendy
