    Erin, You probably made the hardest decision of your life when you decided to have this surgery. I had my surgery 4 years ago and it was the best decision I made. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

Almost myself again!

So since I last bloged I had to quit one of the jobs I started. It was just to much for me! To much standing and stairs! I also came down with a really bad flu.. Had to go to urgent care.. It was bad.. The meds they gave me made me even more sick and dizzy! I never want to feel like that again! But now I feel much better! I still am not getting my portein drinks in, I have tired everything under the sun...Yuck!!!!!!! I go Dec 3rd to the Doc. so I'm sure I will get yelled at! But whatever!!!!! I have lost a total of 46 lbs. since surgery! I am very happy about that! This week I haven't lost anything :( But thats ok!!!! Well I almost feel like my self again....I'm glad it gets better!

Feeling ok!
on November 3, 2009 9:28 am
So I have to say I'm feeling better than I did! I cant wait to feel like my self again!

I have lost 39 lbs. since the day I got home from the Hospital! So I cant complain! But I would have to say anyone on this diet would lose that kind of weight with or without surgery!

So last week I got two new jobs in one day! Crazy! I start one of them tonight and the other one Thursday after noon! They are both part time jobs and should be pretty easy! I cant wait to get out of the house!

I'm still have a hard time getting all the portein in! But I'm working at it! Cant wait to eat some better tasting foods! I am so bord with what I can eat!

Alright time to get off the computer and take a shower! Bye for now!

My Story

HI MY NAME IS ERIN, AND THIS IS MY STORY:

EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD I CAN REMEMBER DEALING WITH BEING OVER WEIGHT. BUT MORE SO AS AN ADULT.

I am 27 years old... And not getting any thinner....Just fatter.....I am at my heaviest  weight ever.....315lbs...

I'M HAPPILY MARRIED TO MY HUBBY JOE, GOING ON FIVE YEARS OF MARRAGE AND TEN YEARS OF JUST BEING TOGETHER! WE HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN MY DAUGHTER KALEI IS 8 YEARS OLD AND MY SON DARREN IS 7YEARS OLD! COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER FAMILY!

BEFORE I HAD MY DAUGHTER I  WAS ABOUT 160 SOMTHING POUNDS. AFTER CHILD BIRTH I WAS AROUND 200LBS. THEN I HAD MY SON AND GAINED EVEN MORE WEIGHT AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO KEEP ANY OF THE WEIGHT OFF. YOU KNOW I'VE TRYED EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN AND NOTHING WORKS. I'VE NEVER BEEN BIG ON EXERCISING. BUT I HAVE JOINED THE GYM A FEW TIMES AND ALWAYS END UP GIVING UP. THE LAST TIME I JOINED A GYM I WAS SO EXICITED I JOINED A FEW DIFFERENT CLASSES: STEPPING, KICK BOX ABS AND A WEIGHT TRAINING CLASS, AND AT THE BEGINING IT WAS GOING GOOD WENT THREE TIMES A WEEK FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS UNTILL MY LEFT KNEE GAVE OUT ON ME, SO I WAS STILL GOING BUT JUST WALKING SLOWLY ON THE TREADMILL. SO AT MY SIX MONTH RENEWAL I DIDNT DO IT. HAVENT DONE ANYTHING SINCE .THAT WAS A YEAR AGO!

SO HERE I AM WONDERING WHAT THE BEST THING IS FOR ME? I'VE DONE ALL MY RESEACH ABOUT HAVING BARIATRIC SURGERY. AND HAVE MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH THE SURGEON MARCH 1ST. I VERY EXCITED!

MY HUBBY IS VERY SUPPORTIVE . HE IS SCARED AND DOSEN'T LIKE THE IDEA OF SURGERY AT ALL, BUT HE IS TRYING TO BE MORE UNDERSTANDING OF MY NEEDS. I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO REASURE HIM THAT IT IS FOR THE BEST,THIS IS FOR MY LIFE AND I WANT TO LIVE A LONG HEALTHLY LIFE!
