summin it up.... on January 21, 2007 3:47 pm
Instead of having to go thru my entire journal, I thought I would sum up my journey in a few sentences. I had my gbs in Nov. 2003, I was 301 and have been at 165 for about 2 years now. I am 33 years old and the mother of 2 boys, ages 4&5, the surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself, I have so much energy (some days!), confidence, love to shop, love to go out and for once, love myself. Being overweight to me was the worst thing in the world (& if you have never been fat, & I mean FAT, you just CAN'T UNDERSTAND) and I could never go back, I did not have any complications or problems at all during my entire time losing weight. Certain foods still make me sick to this day, you live and learn every day with this and I would never go back, its worth every tummy ache to be a size 8........

My Story 11/18/03
My journey is just beginning,my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow,Nov 19, 2003. I have been waiting for one year. To start my profile I turned 30 this past June....horrible. This is not supposed to be my life at 30 years old. I am getting ready to make some major changes though. I feel like my life is getting ready to get started & I am more than ready. For a little more background, I am engaged with 2 wonderful little boys ages 1 and 2,they are my life and I cant wait to have the energy to play with them more,to sit on the floor without them jumping on mommie because she is like a big, soft pillow. My entire process was very smooth,only hard part was waiting,now that it is here I am VERY,VERY nervous,anxious,and ready for it to be over. I can not imagine not being overweight,it is part of my life,this past year has been my fattest,295,& it is horrible. My smallest was 175, size 10/12 & that was my junior & senior years in high school. Once college came I started eating & didnt stop. I bounced up & down from 200 to 250 for the past 10 years. Actually I was pretty happy at 200,I wore a size 14 & looked pretty nice, but once I would get over 215 it would just keep going up. My first son took me up to 260,actually he didnt take me up there,I ate my way to 260,after he was born I went down to 220 with no problem,in a matter of a month or two. That is when I first started looking into surgery. Soon enough,my son was 4 months old,I found out I was preg again,so surgery was put on the back burner. Once my second son was delivered in Oct 2002 I was at my doctors in Nov. talking about surgery again. Needless to say,here I am, my PCP and surgeron, Dr. Quinlin, have done ALL of the work for me, I just had to schedule the tests and show up..and wait. So I am greatful for the easy ride thus far.

It is just a few hours since I wrote that 1st entry & now I want to write more. I have so much to say about this changing my life,reading others profiles is so inspirational. Thank you to all that have sent me emails, it makes me feel like I am not alone & that is how I feel right now. My fiance is acting like I am going in to get a cavity filled or something,no care in the world. Just please God let me get thru this surgery with no complications for my sons sake if any,can you even know the love you can have for another until you have children? My heart aches,truely, to think of missing one minute of thier life. I LOVE YOU BRENDEN AND CAMERON!! It's now 9:07 pm, I found out just today I need to be at the hospital at 6:30am tomorrow morning,surgery at 9am. At least we wont hit the Pittsburgh morning traffic. By noon tomorrow I'll be post-op,can this be true?!! This should be my last posting till post-op, hopefully I can find a way to keep busy tonite,I'm still drinking my solution to clean me out,not fun but well worth it. Thank you again for all of your emails,like I said not too much support here in this household.

I am now 3 days post op. I feel pretty good,I mean really sore and hard to move but I would think is expected. The pain medication keeps knocking me out, I feel much better when I am up and trying to walk,my muscles are getting very weak and sore feeling already. I am already thinking "what have I done",last nite seeing food commercials was real hard,my belly didnt want the food,my brain did. My fiance eating in front of me is hard also, he just wanted some breakfast & I told him to go out to eat,he did,thank goodness. I was burning a gingerbread candle last nite and had to blow it out,smelt too good. Last time I ate was Monday,surgery was on Wednesday,on Thursday nite a scale in the hospital said I had lost 15 lbs,not really going to count on that but could you imagine? I dont hv a real good starting weight,I know should be between 295 & 300, I'll hv to call my pcp,I was there about 2 weeks ago & they weighed me,but on Thursday nite in the hospital it said 280 exact. My first follow up with my surgeron will be almost 2 weeks post op,13 days. I will be excited. I've been livin on water,apple jucie,sugar free popsicles & pain medication,thats it. The apple juice seems a little too sweet & I ate 1 bite of popsicle in the hospital & was full,my dad was amazed. I did get an upset stomache on friday when i was getting ready to get dressed to leave the hosp,I had not ate anything,it hurt real bad,I had to sit on the toilet,started sweating & crying,thought I was going to pass out,I pulled the emergency cord,no one came,i thought can you imagine if i was having a heart attack,I would hv been dead. This part is gross so those with a weak stomache dont read,I keep passing brown water,of course there would be nothing solid cause im not eating anything. My intestines are growling so loud at all times Im suprised others cant hear it,my fiance says they are mad & want food in them,i feel like they are repositioning themselves or something,must say i hv no regretes thought, i would like to eat right now but i would rather be skinny,my biggest piece of advice is YOU REALLLLLLLLLY HAVE TO WANT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! Like I have heard others say,yes this does take will power,and keep moving,im going to go now cause my muscles need to move and stretch,i hope i can start exercising soon,did i just say that? Thanks to all who have emailed me and wished me well,it really helped and let me know I am not alone. Im PROUD TO BE LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11/28/03
Day after Thanksgiving,I made it,glad it is over. Lets see, I made deviled eggs which i love so i had to lick some of that,about a tble spoon full. Later when I got to my sister in laws i ate the inside out of another egg & had a m&m size piece of sweet potato. That had me full till about 9pm,when we were driving home from my fiances sisters house & I was holding the plate of left overs,sooooo,you know i had to stick my finger in the mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie & apple crisp stuff,they all were heavenly,when i got home i made the kids a plate & of couse I had to test a bit more,I did take a bite of stuffing but got scared & spit it out.Then you spend the rest of the nite worrying if you will get sick which makes you say I will never do that again but today I did. My fiance made eggs for breakfast & french toast,he rarely cooks but now is forced to,I couldnt believe he made french toast,i use to eat like 5 pieces of it at one sitting. He gave me a bowl with 1 bite of eggs in it,which i ate,i also had to eat 2-3 pieces of my kids french toast,it is SOOOOOOO hard for me to throw away food,very hard. I just weighed myself,it says 271,now if that is true that is 24 pounds in 9 days,well I am 9 days out,surgery was last wednesday,it all seems impossible,i can tell in my face,which is nice,my face was looking destorted,it wasnt me anymore with all of that fat. Now I am looking forward to my doc apt this tuesday. My goals are to start working out tonite,and to get my food list out & abide by it,Im not supposed to be eating at all yet(not till 2 weeks out) however since I am I might as well eat what is on my list & I am not even sure what it is. Will update later,going to play with my boys.
12/06/03
This one is going to be short. I had my first post op doc apt this past Tuesday,Dec.02,my weight was 268..........they had my starting weight as 301,that was back in March 2003,the last time I was in their office,so according to their records I lost 33 lbs in just under 2 weeks. My goal was to be below 270 so I was thrilled. Since then though I have been eating so much,at least it seems like it. The appt was on Tuesday and this is Saturday,I find I can eat anything I want without getting sick,just of couse chew alot & small portions. I drank about an eight of a cup of whole milk I think on Thursday & was sick the entire day,I normally drink skim but it was leftover from my son. I will never touch that again. I find that it seems like I just sat down to eat & I am full which I dont like because I get no pleasure from eating,but honestly I am eating what seems to be alot & the scale looks like it moved one pound since my appt,I have not exercised either since my appt. I am going to have to get serious from now on.
12/19/03
I just thought I should update, I was at my parents house last nite and they have a much nicer scale than mine & it said that I was at 264 so that would be 4 more pounds, which is not alot at all but at least it is something. I must say that this is sooooooo much harder then I ever imagined. This is very different for everyone but in my case I can eat ANYTHING, which I do not like because this feels like every other diet I have been on, I am going on pure willpower & honestly I wanted it to be easier than that. I am hungry most of the time, I can eat more that most people. Last nite I ate 3/4 of a small chile from Wendy's, most people report they are stuffed at 1/2. It depends on what you eat, tuna fills me up but I am sick of it, that is all I had so far today, I am baking a piece of gordons fish right now, I hate it, but it is 100 calories,less that 1 g carb & 17 g protein, it almost makes me sick eating it,like I said this is all willpower, I bet if i went to mcdonalds right now I could eat a 6 piece chicken mcnugget & be fine, but I wont. My biggest problem by far is still the water, protein is fine cause I bought a blender & have been adding 2 frozen strawberries to my chocolate met-rx protein drinks & that makes them bearable, also I just drink half in the morning & half at nite, all at once is too gross. Well I better go clean the house or exercise or something. Yesterday was 1 month from surgery so my total loss is now 37 pounds. Why am I not pleased????
12/24/03
Things are getting much easier, guess I just had to get used to this. I am now at 259, so total loss of 42 lbs in 5 weeks, I am happy. I wore a size 18/20 jacket to the mall last nite no doubt that would not have fit a month ago. My pants are almost falling off I just have to dig out the smaller ones, I am covered all the way down to size 14, my pre-children size. I tried some chinese food at the mall yesterday, orange chicken & green beans, I ate so little it would take me a week to eat the whole meal, I tried to eat some last nite & it made me sick so of course I had to try again today & it also made me sick so I'm done with that, only for now thought, I'm sure I will try it again because I love chinese food. Tonite we are going to my fiances mothers house for xmas eve dinner, I'm going to let myself try whatever I want, I will just eat the meat first but she makes a ton of cookies & I want to try some, I havent really ate anything sweet yet though cause I am more of a bread person, that has been what I crave not sweets. Bread is definately what got me to this size. Well I have the house all ready for Santa to come, this will be lots of fun because my oldest son, Cameron 2, is ready for Santa, Brenden 1 is ready for whatever!! Merry Chistmas to all & God Bless!!!!!
12/30/03
I have lost 44 pounds in 41 days, my goal was 50 pounds but I will not complain. I'm sure I would have hit 50 pounds if my lazy butt was exercising, I can't believe I went through all of this and I am not exercising, this must change, I also let myself eat anything I wanted over Xmas and I did. I had several (meaning probably 10) pieces of Sarris chocolate, if you live anywhere around Pgh you know how good that is. Turkey did not work well, I tried it like 3 times, too hard to go down, got stuck, I'm done with that for now. Ham was wonderful, also had green beans, baked beans, half of a cookie at time, a whole cookie made my stomache hurt, must be too much sugar at once. I am trying to get my picture on here, I am amazed at how hard it was to find a picture of me, I am always the one taking the pictures, I did take some "before" pics and now I cant find them, they will turn up. Also I am going back to work on Monday,ahhh, work, did I mention I hate my job, this will not be fun but I think getting out of the house will help get me on track, I need to be on a schedule, also as a treat to myself I think I may start tanning, that always has helped me to feel better about myself. I'll update when I have more to say, have a happy new year all!!
01/01/04
Well, I wanted to update because I had a really nice night last nite. My mom kept the boys and we went out with my brother & his girlfriend and my finaces sister and her fiance. We went to a huge club downtown that has 4 different "clubs" inside of it, I was a bit nervous because since I have gotton this big I do not like to go out, I feel like the old, fat lady, anyhow it was wonderful,it is amazing how just losing 40some pounds can make you feel. I got a new outfit and I think I looked very nice in it, I did not feel like the old,fat lady, actually I felt rather sexy, I am not the one to show alot of skin, even when I did have the body for it, anyhow, I had a blast, felt sexy and did not feel old. Also I was planning on not drinking however I really wanted to dance so I needed some help, after much contemplating I decided on "hot damn" cinnamon schnapps, I just mixed it with an entire glass of ice water and drank slow, believe it or not I had 4 of these, over a four hour period, I wasnt drunk at all but it took the edge off and I got to dance, my fiance and I love to dance, before we had children we went out every weekend. To top it all off when I got on the scale this morning it says I

January 2004
am down another 2 pounds, that will work for me! Anyhow, now I have to go pick up the boys, I miss them, also did I mention I am back to work Monday,yuk. Also, I didnt mention it on here yet but on Dec.27 my sons Xmas presents were stolen from our car parked out front of our house, it still makes me very sad so that is all I feel like mentioning about it at this time. HAPPY NEW YEAR and hopefully a new me!!!
01/09/04* * * Did ya notice my pretty new profile, thank you to Renee, I still don't know how to do any of this computer stuff, I'm lucky to figure out how to write these posts. Anyhow, pretty much stuck at the weight loss, I went to Curves last nite for the first time, they weighed my in at 254. I am disappointed about the Curves program, I was sooo excited to join and after that first workout, well, its too easy believe it or not, I was at my target heart rate however I know my body and that workout seemed like it would be good for someone who may want to maintain their weight but is defiantely not hard enuff if you want to lost weight, I would have spent the money on a tony little glider, which I struggled back in forth for a month deciding which to do and I chose Curves which I now regret however I will go for at least this month. Thats pretty much all to report though, I did go back to work and everyone keeps coming up to me making comments, also I think I lost a few of my "heavy" friends, oh well is all I can say, we all have the same insurance and they could get this surgery if they wanted to as well. I am fitting into size 20 jeans which is nice, I just want to get into the 14's sooooooo bad, it will take alot of working out to do that, one day. Anyhow, I am exhausted since I went back to work and my life has been a blur, I hate not spending more time with my kids, I need a sugar daddy. I don't want to work or I want to have a "cake" job, mine is tooo stressful. Good Luck to all, I need to go clean the house.
01/11/04* * * The scale has finally moved again.........250.......I'm happy!! This has motivated me so this week I am going to bust my butt working out and eating everything right. I just went to the store and stocked up on good things, my problem is that I run out then I eat small portions of not so good stuff, anyhow, just wanted to report that after almost 2 weeks (again) of a plateau the scale is not broke...it finally moved!! Yeah!!
01/20/04*** Quick update.....no weight loss, But I am finally getting into a workout regimine(sp?)..Since I am back to work fulltime I am going to curves after work mondays,tuesdays and wednesday, I told my fiance he can keep his job till it gets nice out, so he works the rest of the week in the evenings so a least one other day during the week I will do my jane fonda tape so that will be 4 days a week working out. I am so exhausted jow that I am working full time, I get up at 6:30 in the morning and I am lucky to walk thru the door by 7pm, then its cook the kids dinner, straighten the house, get clothes ready for work and try to get these kids to sleep (not going very well at this point)...anyhow being so busy gives me less time to eat or obsess about food, I cant wait for my one month weigh in at curves, my goal in to lose 10 lb. Even though I am not losing weight now I can definately see the inches going so I am okay with that. Time to TRY and get some zzzzzzzz's 01/25/04...Well, things are moving rather slow here. I am now at 246 so total loss so far of 55 pounds and it has been 9 weeks since surgery. Yesterday I couldn't resist temptation, I swore I wasn't going to buy new clothes cause I have so many but I went and bought a pair of size 17/18 jeans, I had to lay down to zip them but I got them on, so hopefully in a few weeks they will fit, I should set a goal, okay, here it goes, Valentines Day, so that gives me apx. 20 days for those to fit me well. Working out and still a struggle and I am hungry alot, after discussing this with some of my co-workers who have had surgery we think I am not eating often enought, I normally have a Atkins chocolate shake for breakfast, 4 crackers with tuna for lunch and some sort of meat for dinner followed by a few s/f popsicles, but on this menu I am hungry, they suggested I eat at least 4 times a day, the one girl said she eats 6-7 times a day, I just need to plan better. I'm going to start tanning probably next week, that should make me look nicer(hopefully), and possibly feel better about myself. I am still totally exhaused and work is very difficult, last week was my first week full time and I had to take 1 1/2 of my vacation days already, by Wednesday I was beat, I think I may cheat and drink a diet mt.dew, I need something to get me going and keep me awake.
01/30/04...240!!240!!240!!Can you guess I am at 240!? Drumroll please..........61 pounds gone in just under 10 weeks, I knew it would go down more since my time of the month is just about here, actually we are a few days late now but no worries, this surgery I'm sure has me out of wack. I can really tell when I look in the mirrow now, people at work are really saying things alot and most imporantly (for some reason) my parents and my fiance are FINALLY handing out compliments. This feels good. I am so jiggly though but I take that over fat stuffed into my skin ready to explode! Exercise is still, how should I say it, something that needs some major commintment and work. I still get not even a fraction of my water in but that I really do try, I prob get about 40-50 grams of protein a day, my only guarantees on that is my Atkins shake and I have tuna every day for lunch, that is so old but it is a no brainer and convinent. Anyhow, just wanted to update cuase I will be so happy to never see my weight start with the numbers 24_??? again, which will be very soon!!! Yeah!!!!!
Febuary 2004
![]() 02/06/04***Weighing in now at 235....I am still expecting more of a loss soon, my period should have been here at least a week ago, still not in, I was in a car accident last week & they insisted on a preg test at the ER, negative, so I know not preg, this surgery still has me out of wack. I bought 2 pairs of jeans in size 18, they are modern looking(finally), faded and flairing legs, I know they make those in the bigger sizes but I never felt like dressing modern when I weighed 300 lbs, I looked nice, but not modern, anyhow, fiance and I went shopping last nite, we were both suprise with all of the looks I was getting, he said to me "You are walking differnt, taller, with more confidence" I told him it may have been my heeled boots or maybe just me, not sure!! Thats all for now!! ***02/21/04 Still at 235 & still no period, what is going on? I do not know, I think one has something to do with the other, yes, I am very discouraged but will not give up, I am half way there. My period is due again & I never got it last month!! March 2004
04/20/04***Thought it was about time I update, I don't know how to use this page & I get mad that I keep messing up my design, sorry, I'm not very computer literate. Anyhow, all is well, holding steady at 210 & a size 14, I am happy about the 14 thing but I do not look like I use to when I wore a 14 but I am not 20 years old anymore either. I keep thinking that they must make 14's bigger than they use to. Anyhow, I am not & have not really did much exercising this whole journey and I am starting to eat not so good things, luckily I have not gained anything but I yearn to get to the 100 pound mark. Based on the way my body looks in a 14 I think my new goal size should be an 8, but I'm not really fretting about it. I love the fact that I have a million different choices of what to wear everyday, I have alot of clothes and am so grateful to be able to fit into everything, when I dig something old out of the closet it fits, everthing I have fits so that is so nice. Now my deliemma is my hair, it has been falling out for about a month, it is not at all noticable because I have a ton of hair but I can tell and it just isnt as full and healthy, I really am in need of a new style and shorter hair but I am scared and need to find something I think will look nice on me. I just went and got contacts so no more glasses for now, that makes me feel a little younger and I have been tanning, tan fat looks much nicer than pale, white fat I must say. We are getting ready to move to a bigger house in 2 weeks so maybe a new place will give me a new start and I will get my butt in gear so one day I can wear a 2 piece swim suit and a size 8 jeans....dare to dream...Good Night

**05/27/04 I am now at 195 and my 14 jeans are getting loose, I am so glad to be saying that, I am going shopping tomorrow for some 12's, I have not worn that size since high school. We have moved so life has been very hectic, my body is a pile of jiggle but it is so much better than 300 pounds of fat. My hair was falling out like crazy, I started taking some calcium , 2 a day & it has really slowed down, I dont know if it was that or just time for it to stop falling out, I have an appt with my surgeon next week, it will only be my second time since surgery that I have seen him, my job doesnt really give me an opportunity, I am looking forward to it. All is going well though, not too much to report, I did get a 2 piece bathing suit & have worn it around the yard, I dont care if I dont look great, I like to get tan and feel pretty okay about myself, the attention I get from men is nuts and my fiance is getting a little tired of it, it is nice to look attractive again, but it is weird cause I get so many compliments and looks, I guess it is weired cause the weight came off so fast. I will have to update with a pic as soon as I get one. Have a wonderful Memorial Day all!!

**07/05/04 Well, not that much to report, all is going well. I am in a size 12, moving toward a 10....can't wait. I am at 184 as of an appt I had at my pcp a week or two ago, I dont weigh myself that much anymore which is funny because when you have this surgery you are on the scale daily or at least I was, now I go more on how my clothes are fitting. I buy soooo many clothes, I shop at least once a week, I am mad that I really didnt get a chance to wear alot of my size 14 stuff, it doesnt look nice on me now to wear it but I am not complaining. I am down 117 pounds in just over seven months.....YEAH !!! My hair is STILL falling out, at little slower than it was, I really keep up with my vitamins, not too much with the protein, still drinking an Atkins shake every morning for breakfast though, except for the weekends I usually forget. I joined a gym about a month ago, I only went about 3 or 4 times, I really have to make a commitment to myself to go at least 4 times a week, I still want to lose about 30 more pounds but I really need to work out cause momma is super jiggly. Thats about all I have to report for now. Have a nice summer!!
***09/05/04***Now that I have an updated pic I thought maybe I should also update my profile, not sure where to start. My life is so busy, yesterday was my oldest son's 3rd birthday party, it was so nice. Looking at the video of it it's so nice to see myself and not get that sick feeling in my stomach of embarrasment that I use to get when I would see myself, I am a normal sized person and that is all that I ever wanted. I am so grateful for my journey, I do feel like it has come to an end and that is fine with me, I still get constant questions, alot of "do you get sick all of the time?" and "do you have any regrets?" ABSOLUTELY NOT is all I can say, It's funny to me when a overweight person asks me these things, because it seems like sometimes I think they want me to say, "it was horrible, dont do it" so they have an excuse not to, well not from me, I have nothing but positive things to say, I can move freely, I run in the yard with my kids, if someone needs something from upstairs or downstairs, I am the one who says "I'll go get it" because before I would NEVER volunteer to get my butt off of the couch (unless it was for food) that is gross to say (actually i feel like i am betraying the fat heather) but it is the truth, I dont have the best body in the world now, I wear a 10 or 11 size jeans, large shirts are a little big but I havent dared to try a medium yet, I've never worn a medium in my life. I am a different person now, I am happy, content, at peace with myself. I feel like a better mom cause I can and do so much more, I am more confident when I go out with my fiance because I am no longer jealous of other women, if a girl looks beautiful I think "good for her" instead of glaring with jealousy. (Now sometimes I get those glares, IMAGINE THAT!!!)Well, I have lots to do today, best of luck to all.
***12/28/04*** Well, a year has come and gone and life is good. Just a brief update, I am in size 8 jeans, tops and jackets medium, my weight goes from 160 up to sometimes almost 170, I dont really watch it, just happy with my clothes size. Best of luck to everyone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________-__******06/10/05*** Wow, I can't believe I went six months without updating this,well, I did actually get on the scale the other day and it read 162, which is fine with me, I still don't care too much about that, just clothes size. I should metion that a few months ago I went for a consult for a tummy tuck and breast lift, the pricetag...$10,000.00, I swear the doc acted like I would just pull out a credit card and schedule the appointment. I could never spent that much money on myself, I would feel so guilty, like I was taking away money from my children so........this is what I have been mulling over. (Which I have yet to set a date to this commitment, but..) If I can get myself to work out on a somewhat regular basis, I'm saying that to be realistic, and if I can get my weight to around 140, then I will splurge and do the boobs, they would be $5,000, my belly is just jiggle and may tighten up if I actually put some effort into it. The doc said that he would not do implants cause I did not need them but I am so use to having very large, voluptous boobs so I hate, hate, hate mine now, I still wear a DD bra but they look NOTHING like DD boobs should look. He claimed that with a lift they would be a full C, who knows. I don't need to worry about all of that until I commit to getting into shape. As for the surgery, I only get "sick" now when I am real hungry and eat too fast, there still are foods that to this day I find out that they don't agree with me, like chinese, boo, but oh well, chinese or size 8 jeans?? I'll take the jeans please, with a side of some hot new strappy high heeled sandles, thank you. I look nothing like the old Heather, wish I knew how to put up pics, I should work on that, people still don't recognize me sometimes at work. Time to relax, it's Friday nite, Good Luck to everyone and if you have any questions you can email me.... ***************06-25-06******Wow, a whole year since I looked at this !!! Time flies when you have kids.....so I am pretty much at the same weight, I don't look that often.....I still have it set in my mind that I never want to weigh more than 175........When I do get on a scale it is normally anywhere between 165-170.........Life is good..........I eat pretty much whatever.....still can't do milk.......have to watch quanity with sweets..........sometimes eat too quick or too much and get sick......I am sure that will go on for the rest of my life......Still hopin for some new boobs, hopefully in 2007.........
