2 MONTHS OUT
on November 18, 2008 4:14 am
So I am 2 months out now! I have lost a total of 49 pounds and quite a few inches. I feel better and I have more energy and moving around does not hurt like it did. I can pretty much eat anything. I dont have a lot of cravings but I try to let myself have something I want sometimes. I think I crave once in a while the onion blossom pringles. I eat one and its not like I even like the taste. I dont sit and eat them like I used to. I have one or two every couple days. I think maybe its the salt I crave. Luckily I eat a couple and feel completely satisfied. I have not tried anything sweet so I have no clue there. I have eaten a few bread and butter pickle chips and those seem to be a great desert for me. How odd. Before I would eat a strawberry cheesecake or something like that but now its pickle.
I love to exercise on my wii and I go for a mile walk and have recently picked up on racquetball with my husband and kids.
I am just happy with the changes so far and I cant wait to see whats next for me!

10 days after surgery

As of now I have lost 24 pounds and that makes me happy. I do everything I can to walk and keep busy. I started shakes and soft proteins on Monday and I have some issues with it. Sick to my tummy all the time. I hate that. Feel like I am about to faint all the time. I am healing well and that makes me happy. I am not having any other issues so thats good. I am still happy with my decision. Just adjusting is hard but I can do it!

My Story

I have been overweight most of my life. Really since about the age of 18. I got pregnant and gained 60 pounds with my first which was 14 years ago now. In 1997 I went on the phen phen diet through a doctor and went from a size 20 to a size 12 in 3 months. I thought it was great. By the end of 97 I was pregnant again and had a miscarriage at 12 weeks. I had a really hard time with this because when I got pregnant all I oculd think was I was going to gain weight and I was angry. I blamed myself for losing the baby and ate whatever I could. Two months later though I got pregnant again and yes gained 65 pounds. Then after I had my second son in 98 I have gained about 30 more pounds. I have thought about weight loss surgery many times and just thought it was not an option for me and so I did not ask. I was also working full time being a feull time mom while my husband deployed to Iraq for 15 months twice and Korea for a year. Both of my boys are ADHD and my oldest was diagnosed last year with BIPOLAR disorder, so thats a challenge. I have not been working since October of last year and I hate it. Yet my knees do not hurt as much cause I did stand 8-10 hours a day being in management at a bank. I have a problem now with my bladder falling and the doctor had the nerve to say well if you wuold just lose weight!!! A genius idea huh??? I would have never thought of that in all these years!!! So I was angry and went to my doctor finally to ask for help. I am tired of feeling run down and hurting all over. I want to feel like myself and I know getting 100 pounds off will help me get around and do things I want and need to do. Now of course that we are being shipped to South Carolina at the end of the year I feel it even more important to get this done. Luckily my family is here in Killeen as well as my husbands. So now is the time. I am very much ready to do this!!!
