Im on the looser side now!!!!
on November 16, 2011 6:35 pm
Well this has been an interesting journey thus far! I have changed drastictly! I still have a long way to God but everyday get easier with God on my side! I haven't been execrising yet. Due to the fact of having to have surgery twice! I have healed up great though! I thank God for real though! I didn't think I was ever going to get to this point in my life! Im excited for more results now that I can exercrise maybe I can get 55lbs off of me within the next 90 days! But I have lost about 75lb to 80lbs so far yahme!!!! Im still adjusting to the dos and don'ts..... im finding it hard to take my vitimans but Im honest about that! Sices the last time Ive been on here I have relocated so that is really hard for me!! I got to find a system that works for me. Im going to post a picture or two of my progress. I pray for all that you have the success your heart desire! Until next post tae care my Oh family and friends! God bless, ****Kingdom minded girl***    Louvinia Cole

Ok it has been over a month since I posted on here. I have been through a journey. I had to have a revision RNY on 8/29/2011 who would think this would happen?  I couldn't believe it either! It started out first with me not being able to eat. THEN I could drink anything.... So I came on OH to ask for help everyone said I had stricture. It was true! On 8/22/2011 I had upper GI done they stretch it. The next day I was sick again. I was put in Hospital and then they decided to redue the surgery! After that I got infection so I got out the hospital on 9/9/2011. I spent my birthday in the hospital! I have a lot to catch my Oh fam up on! I promise I will soon. This is it for now! Don't be in a hurry to make a choice that will effect the rest of your life! My doctor is and was wonderful through out this whole process! Im just thanking God that I survived this whole thing! WOW is all I can say for now!

Im out of the hospital I came home on 7/28/2011 surgery was a success credit goes to God! I really don't remember much about other than being late. Yep I was late we had a flat tire!!!! I still had the RNY it was in God's plans for me to have it.... It turned out the surgery that was scheduled before mine was a little complicated and It through my schedule of to 2:30 are so!!!! I woke up around 5pm and was in my room by 5:30pm! Dr. Ross and his staff was the best! I was up and walking by midnight. I did good. The GAS is the stinker for real... I didn't have any pain as of yet I just had a lot of gas!!! I had to walk and walk and walk some more!! Im having problems eating Im not hungrey at all or should I say sipping I feel as if I have to force myself. I did take my laptop with me but hubby didn't let me use any electronic devices not even my cell phone! LoL but for real he is like RNY police are something he pops out of know where! Im serious you guys. He even called Dr.Ross today while we were in Piggley Wiggley to see if yogurt was on my list I was so embarrased Well I be back up and at them later ... I pray all is well and Have a blessed nite my OH family XOXOXOXo

My Story

Hello, My name is Louvinia and I have decided to have gastric bybass surgery. I have visted this site four about 3 to 4 months. I just decided today to join. I went to the first wls meeting on jan,19,2011. It was very informational, I have been given appointment for my first vist with Dr. Ross for feb 11,2011. I haven't always been over weight. I begin to gain weight in late 2008 eary 09... Since then I have gain75-115 pounds. It is very frustrating because of my height. I've tried all types of diets,diet pills and gyms...Still the number still climbs. So today I pray will be the first day of the best of me for the rest of my life.
