Also, when I started this whole journey, after losing my FIRST FIVE POUNDS back in July, 2011.. I told myself I'd buy a ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2012/01/03/three-weeks-post-op-/Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:56:00 -0800http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2012/01/03/three-weeks-post-op-/ Hello 2012.<br/><br/>Goodbye 81 Pounds.<br/><br/>It's been a couple weeks since I've posted anything on here. Shame on me. The first week was astounding for weight loss. I lost 18 pounds in one week! Fantastic. The second week, I only lost 4 pounds and the third, I lost absolutely nothing.. but that's ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/15/3-days-post-op-/Thu, 15 Dec 2011 12:30:00 -0800http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/15/3-days-post-op-/ Boy oh boy.. what an interesting experience. My surgery was Monday the 12th, scheduled to start at 7:30 am. However, I got all prepped and ready and the fellow came in around 7:40 to tell me that my surgeon had an emergency surgery to take care of. So, I was ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/08/made-it-to-60-pounds-lost-/Thu, 08 Dec 2011 18:06:00 -0800http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/08/made-it-to-60-pounds-lost-/ I'm really happy about this milestone. My goal was to go into surgery at 359, I'm not sure if that will happen.. but, boy were the 370's a rut for me. I've been in them bouncing back and forth from 371-375 and it was driving me crazy. So, I stopped ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/06/pre-op-testing-/Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:06:00 -0800http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/06/pre-op-testing-/ What a fun day it's been. Downtown Richmond is absolutely intense.. I always get lost somehow. AND, this time I got a parking ticket, lovely. Anyway, today I had to go for my Pre-Op class.. learned lots of stuff. Probably too much.. it was so much to absorb, between the ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/04/one-week-down--one-week-to-go-/Sun, 04 Dec 2011 20:43:00 -0800http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/04/one-week-down--one-week-to-go-/ I hate this liquid diet. I don't get it. A lot of the people I talk to say things like "Its hard, but able to be done." I'm amazed.. Of course it's able to be done.. look at all of the things that are able to be done. I try ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/02/liquid-diet-woes-/Fri, 02 Dec 2011 15:51:00 -0800http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/02/liquid-diet-woes-/ So, day 5 is almost over; we're looking at 9 more days till I get in that car for my ride to the hospital. I'm beyond excited. I'm not scared at all. I fear absolutely nothing! The only fear I have at this point is to go back to where ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/01/fresh-off-the-truck-/Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:49:00 -0800http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hellob0x/blog/2011/12/01/fresh-off-the-truck-/I am so happy to be here. I'm completely new to this site and I have really high expectations for it.<br /> I'm 24 years old and in 10 days I'll be having gastric bypass surgery.
