Surgeon Testimonial

Joshua Roller M.D.
Dr. Josh Roller and his staff are awesome. From the first time that I met him and his staff I was very impressed. He is very straight forward from the start and lets you know in depth what to expect and he don't beat around the bush about it. Dr. Roller's surgical competence and his bedside manner are excellent and I don't believe I could have found anyone better. The staff are caring, informed and on top of things. I have not one single complaint and only praise to offer the entire office.

Hey what's up? My name is Brenda (misplaced angel).

Welcome to my Journey:

It took me a year to get all my requirements  met to have my surgery. It has been not quite seventeen weeks since I had it done. I am down  92 LBS. from my highest  weight of  312 Lbs before I started my journey to better my health and my life style. I am down 76 Lbs since surgery. I was stuck on a plateau for three week which drove me crazy.But it happens. So stay tuned for updates.

I seem to be angery at the world..... my mood swings are crazy... I have SAD'S and type 2 Bipolar and sever Anxiety and every thing seems to be going haywire at the same time..I'm going today to my counselor hopefully she can help..I cant take much more when I only get 2-3 hours asleep a night  even while taking ambien something has got to give. I feel like I'm coming apart at the seams... 

 

As for my weight loss well its at a stand still or I again 5 lbs then loose it then gain 8 more then loose five... not really being strick  like I should be but I can't stay focused... Please keep me in your prayers I need all the help I can get....

also I quit church cause I'm scared to be around people when I'm like this cause I'm liable to say things that I don't mean...

Looking Different
on August 20, 2012 2:41 pm
 Well it's been a little bit.. Time to make myself accountable. Been pretty well staying put at the same weight not loosing which is driving me nuts.. but its nobodys falt but my own.. I haven't been staying to the 100 carb a day limit.. I have however  been getting all my vitamins and minerals and protein I need.. Doctor had me add Fish oil twice a day now not sure why because all my blood work looked good or they would have called.

Haven't been able to go to the gym cause of my back. The back Doctor put me through the ringer thursday had me twisting and turning in ways your body isn't suppose to do while taking XRays I stoped counting at 7.Next he is sending me for a scan of some kind to see how messed up it is ( I'm disabled do to back injurys in two spots). Since the weight loss it helped the lower spot but agitated the upper spot.. 

Sure am hoping that it's something miner.. I am so wanting to get it took care of and get retrained so I can get off of disability and go back to work. After ten years of this these walls are closing in on me .

Anyway I haven't been doing my food journal at all.. I just found my the paper work the nut gave me and I like to have freaked out. I had totaly forgot what range I was suppose to keep everything in. 

Ok time to quit whinning about it and get back on track.changes

Plus Size or Not that is the Question
on March 30, 2012 12:32 pm
 Ok everyone got a question,.... At what size are you not considered plus size anymore? It is so weird to go into a store to get cloths and not know what size you wear... Specialy your bra & panty's sizes....lol

My Story

  Well...I grew up with old fashion parents.Which had believed in eating whats put on your plate and you better eat every bite,no matter what.If you did not eat every bite then you got it for breakfast the next morning.That wouldn't have been so bad if it had been a child's portion,but no mom filled our plate for that of an adults(and I mean a hungry adult).She had to put something from everything that she cooked whether you liked it or not.

I am a army brat,so we traveled alot.I would just get use to a new school and made a couple of friends when we would have to move again.I didn't make friends easy,(I was very timid and shy).I kept to myself and started to withdraw and turning inward. I turned to food for comfort.

By the time I graduated I was weighting 175 lbs.I got married straight out of high school. I ended up pregnant and more weight piled on. In my fifth month I miscarried. That was a hard blow.I turned to food again .Well that happened another six times.Each time more weight.The marriage  broke up.I turned to my best friend good old FOOD.More weight.By this time I was over 200 lbs.

Do to a fall I took I injured my back in three places. Which disabled me,I was put on  no weight bearing activities for over a year. Again more weight piled on .Which wasn't good  for my back .So around in circles here I go.

I finally decided food is not my friend.
