Results!
on April 4, 2012 5:43 pm
It's been a roller coaster ride these last few weeks. 7 weeks ago I had the sleeve surgery. I have lost 47 pounds since the day of surgery! It's not easy. There have been tears from pain & due to mourning for certain foods and old lifestyle habits, bad reactions to certain foods-but boy it is soooooooo worth it! I feel so much more excited about my future. I truly believe that I now have what it takes to reach my goals-hell even reach the stars!!! In the end it's pretty simple-I love my sleeve.

Desires & Dreams....
on October 26, 2011 5:12 pm
I have been so excited ever since I found out about this sleeve surgery. I got even more excited when I found out how inexpensive it is if I go to Mexico. This has made me dream of all the things I have been forcing myself to forget about. I'm sure all of us have desires we wish we could capture...but our weight has stood in our way. For me, I want adventure. I am not the person that my fat makes me be. I would love to go kayaking, bunji jumping, skydiving, ride the tallest roller coasters, climb the highest mountains....Gosh, I really realized these past few weeks that I have never truly lived. I have been trapped in this prison only able to do what my body allows me to do. Wear the clothes that are made for this big body, pay the extra money for everything because of this big body, slow my family down and hold them back from enjoying things because of this big body. I cry in the shower when I think about all the things I will miss out on if I don't lose over 200 pounds. I will miss running around on the playground with my girls. In fact I am already missing out on this. I am afraid I will break the slides, and oh how I ache when I see other parents sliding or swinging with their babies on their laps. It hurts me to see people at amusement parks, oh how I wish it was me and my kids enjoying those rides. My life will be cut short due to my weight, and I hate myself for letting my body get so terribly big. How I wish and hope I can conquer this beast of an illness and live out all my dreams...

My Story

I am a full time college student & mommy. I have 2 beautiful lil girls that bring alot of sunshine into my life. I have a very supportive boyfriend who I love dearly. I am super plus sized and trying very hard to save enough money to get the gastric sleeve surgery. I have been heavy for as long as I can remember, and I am very excited to start making memories where I won't just remember how much pain I was in, or how tight my clothes were, or how awkward I felt....I am very much looking forward to this new journey.
