    Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

1 year update
on September 10, 2008 6:53 pm
WELL I'M A LITTLE PAST MY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY. I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY. I'M DOWN TO 250 , I HAD HOPED IT WOULD IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE, BUT I WAS NOT AS GOOD AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I DID NOT USE MY TOOL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LIKE I SHOULD HAVE. SO MY ADVICE TO OTHERS IS TO USE YOUR TOOL TO THE FULLEST, CAUSE NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO GET THE OTHER 100 LBS OFF.SO I AM A BIT BUMMED, BUT THEN I HAVE TO THINK I AM SO MUCH MORE HEALTHY NOW I CAN DO THINGS WITH MY FAMILY ONCE AGAIN. SO TRY TO LOOK AT THE POSITIVES AND I DID LOOSE A HUGE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT.SO GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELES AND HERES TO ANOTHER GOOD YEAR.

been awhile

well i finally found enough guts to post some pics including a before pic that i hate, but it was my reality. i am so shocked that i ever looked like that i was huge. i'm so thankful for the surgery, it has given me my life back. i can do things with my family again. my weight loss has come to stand still because i have slacked on my exercising and i still have another 100lbs to go which if i don't get my ass in gear is never going to come off.

3 mo. check up
on December 8, 2007 12:11 pm
well i am now alittle over 3 mo. out and went to my check up. my MD. just made me feel horrible. he says i have not lost enough at 60 lbs. he expected more. i left there feeling like such a failure. but then my husband being so supportive asks me if i was happy with how much i had lost, and i am so he says who cares what the MD. says, you have to make yourself happy. which is right. so then we went shopping for makeup and i was much happier. the other thing he said is that i should only be eating 3 times a day. no snacks in between. i was eating snacks for some extRA protein since i wasn't really drinking protein drinks. and if i do drink any protein drinks i am to use it as a meal replacement . my MD. always seems to make feel bad, i'm glad i don't ever have to see him again, he is leaving mayo in phoenix to got o mayo in rodchester. well till later.

I AM SO EXCITED MY CLOTHES ARE GETTING WAY TO BIG.  I CAN'T WAIT TO GO SHOPPING FOR SOME CHEAP INBETWEEN CLOTHES.  I THINK I MAY BE DEHYDRATED THOUGH, I FING IT SO HARD TO GET ALL THE WATER IN., ALONG WITH THE PROTIEN.

My Story

WELL LET ME START BY SAYING HI TO EVERYONE. MY STORY IS MUCH LIKE EVERYONES ELSES. I WAS AN OVER WEIGHT CHILD, TEENAGER, AND YOUNG ADULT. I STARTED THE WLS JOURNEY IN 2002, AND HAVE RAN INTO ROAD BLOCKS EVER SINCE. EVERYTHING TO THE WAITING LIST AT THE HOSPITAL, CHANGING INSURANCE MULTIPLE TIMES, COMPANY POLICY OF NOT COVERING WLS PERIOD AND JUST THEIR STUPID DEMANDS FOR APPOPRVAL TO DISCURAGE YOU. NOW I HAVE WONDERFUL INSURANCE THROUGH THE HOSPITAL I WORK FOR, SO MY MD FEELS IT SHOULD BE VERY EASY TO GET APPROVED THIS TIME.  I HOPE SO I AM AT THE END OF MY ROPE LIVING IN THIS HELL, I CALL MY BODY.  I AM NOW 30 YEARS OLD AND CAN'T IMAGINE LIVING MY LIFE LIKE THIS ANYMORE. I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS MY LIFE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO RUN AND PLAY WITH HIM AND NOT GET TIRED SO QUICKLY. I AM ALSO MARRIED TO A WONDERFULL MAN WHO HAS SUPPORED ME THROUGH THE WEIGHT GAIN THROUGH 15 YEARS, I GIVE HIM ALOT OF CREDIT SEEING HOW BIG OF A BITCH I CAN BE DUE TO MY WEIGHT.
