I totally blew off my 2 month update!! I'm now 2 months and 9 days post op...I'm down to 185 lbs!! That is 46 lbs down!! I didn't take my measurements, but I'm in a size 18. Some of my 18's are getting big. I can fit into a couple of 16's. I bought a pair of jeans, size 16, about a week and a half ago, I got home and tried them on! Wow, was I dejected! There was about a 3 inch gap to close them!!! Well, I tried them on yesterday.....I got them buttoned 
but there was NO WAY in HELL I was going to be able to breath, sit or walk in them!! But it felt great to be able to button them!!!!
I'm getting a lot of comments at work! I got a comment on Fri or Sat....I don't know if it is a good one or a bad one. The woman said to me "wow, you look great. You look so young, not that you looked old before, but you look much younger!"
Some one else said to me today, "did you lose weight?" I said yes, some. She goes "yeah, I can see it in your face. And in your arms, and yeah in your face, wow."! Gee, do you think she noticed it in my face! But people at work (customers) have been very supportive and great! If I've never mentioned it before...I really love my job! I love what I do and I love my customers!! There are a few that aren't quite sure why I lost weight and aren't sure how to ask me about it, but that is OK. Most people that ask, I tell them I had surgery. Some are shocked and ask if I had the "Lapband" or "Gastric Bypass", I tell them I had "More"....I had more than the GB. I got the "Cadillac WLS"!!! Some people ask with concern, and inquire how I am...I tell them that I couldn't have ask for it to go any better!!! I feel like a DS poster child!!
I'm on a pizza kick! I've been taking a french bread pizza into work for lunch. My manager asked me today if I eat the whole thing for lunch, I said yeah...most of it! She was like, wow. Her BIL is about 10 months post op RNY, and he has had a lot of problems! Ulcer, foamies, vomiting, not being able to tolerate much food wise! So she sees the bad side to WLS and tries to compare me to him. But on a good note, some one from work emailed me asking me about my surgery! So, I paid it forward!!
In closing, these last 2 months have been amazing!!!! I will definitely update at 3 months! I've been keeping a running total of my weight loss with my ticker, I'll try to keep it updated on my profile!
Thank you everyone for all your support of the past weeks, months, even years!!!
I couldn't have done this and be where I am if it weren't for my OH family!!

She said they looked like crap....because they were too big!!!!
So I gave them to my sister! They were a 22! I don't have any jeans that fit right now. My pants for work are 18's. The pants I put on after I took my jeans off, (they are just stretch pants) were a LARGE!!!! I can't ever remember wearing a Large in pants!! Right now my biggest problem is.....I have 3 pairs of pants to wear for work! So the girls will have to deal with it! I'll just keep changing the shirts around. I got lots of those!! 
I didn't almost fall over!! I didn't get fat pinched!! I didn't have to hurry to tie it because I couldn't breath!!! AND I did all this wearing a pair of JEANS!!!!! I didn't even realize anything until I went to tie the other shoe, that was when I realized how far down in a squat I was!!!!
WTF!!!! DUH, I had the camera in my hand!!
So I stepped off, put the camera down and tried it again. 199.?, grabbed the camera, aimed it down (too far away), had to zoom in on the weight...snap the picture. The reading flashed off before the picture took, so it is a picture of my feet on a scale with NO WEIGHT READING!!! Again....WTF!! I step off, back on...200.0!!
I tried again, zoomed the camera in first..stepped on the scale it read 199.? snapped the picture!! Guess what.............It didn't take again!!!!!! So I gave up! I figured I wasn't suppose to claim it as Onederland!! 
And I gave up. I checked into my husbands ins, his would approve if my ins declined me. But I had to follow all the guidelines of my ins, or they wouldn't pick up the tab. So I figured I'd stick with Dr Koren. My mom wanted me to go to her surgeon, Dr Rovito. He didn't except my primary ins, Aetna.
They came back positive and I was fitted for a CPAP. My ins ran out in Dec and Hubby's picked up primary in Jan. His insurance requires 12 months of diet history!!!!
So now I am 3 appts away for my 12 months.
Another friend of mine just had the surgery done! She is doing pretty good. But not drinking enough!! My mom is a strong support for both of us!! Needless to say, I'm going with my moms surgeon, Dr Rovito!!! I have an appt in Aug. So hopefuly Karen will send me through the Fast Track Program. My friend did ALL her stuff in ONE DAY!!!
I'm a little scared that something is going to go wrong and I get declined. I do meet all the requirements! Fat & Sick!!!!! I'll try to keep my story updated. I don't know how well I will do!!
