My name is Jackie and I am the mother of two beautiful children, a full time student and I am hoping to have surgery by at least September 2012. Like a lot of others, I have struggled with my weight since I was in elementary school. I was always envious of the smaller girls but thought of myself of being just as good. I never let my weight bother me until now, a year after the birth of my last child. Things are totally out of control but I am ready to make a change. I joined this site with hopes of gaining support and giving support to those who are similar to me.

Good Luck everyone!

6 months!
on March 13, 2013 6:29 pm

Soooo, I am 6 months out and 3 lbs shy of losing 100 lbs and I feel absolutely great!!! I have gone from a tight 22 in pants to a 14 and from a 22/24 top to XL and some L. I can shop in stores that I used to dream about going into! I want to tone but not lose anymore weight. .I think that the reaction that I am getting from some family members is that I am getting a little too small and I kinda think so too....I am 5'8 so Im not short and I dont want to begin to look crazy. I have to put some pics up because this is ridiculous!!!

From  post nasal drip to an awful ulcer, it looks like Im seeing it but still enjoying my weight loss and all of the compliments. My dad would be proud! I am continuing to my goal that I plan to reach soon. Things are great and my 6 months isnt here yet! I plan on making 2013 a great year!

Tomorrow's the day!

So, surgery is in the morning and I am between scared and excited. I don't know what I really will feel but with all of the group sessions that I have attended, I kind of have an idea what it's gonna be like. I can't wait to finally be on the "losers bench". For once, a loss is a great thing!

Less than 2 weeks
on August 30, 2012 2:28 pm
OMG! I can hardly contain myself! I have less than 2 weeks to go before surgery. Right now I am preparing to buy all of the protein drinks that I will need for the first 2 weeks so that i won't have to worry about sending people out once I get home. I'm READY!!!

Dieting
on August 15, 2012 7:36 am
Well, I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet and so far it's been good. I thought that I would be overwhelmingly hungry and to my surprise, Im not. I will not weigh myself in between visits. I will save that for my visits to the surgeon but so far so good. The free foods help a lot. I can have celery, cucumbers, dill pickles, sugar-free jello and sugar-free icees but Im sticking with the jello and pickles for now.

Tomorrow is my first visit back since the start but Im confident that this is going to be a great ride!

My Story

Overweight and sick and tired of being sick and tired....

Here I am at  32 years old and I am overweight and at the point where things have become uncomfortable. I have decided that I am going to have gastric bypass surgery. I have told a few family members and friends of my decision and I have gotten some good results and some that are not so good. My mother is not my number one fan. She feels that I should start eating better and working out everyday. That's not the case here. I've tried almost every diet that there is on the market and I cannot tell a lie and say that those diets did not work because they did, short term, but the weight always came back and most times I gained more than I lost. I am ready for this journey and willing to make any changes that I need to make in order to become successful at what I am attempting. I chose a surgeon but his employees really made me feel as if they had not a clue as to what was going on. I found someone on this site who is probably close to where I live. She had an amazing experience with a surgeon and although he is over 2 hours away from where I live, I have decided to use him. Anyone who's in SC and close to Greenville, please consider Dr. Scott or Dr. Bour. It's more than a surgery, it's a life changing event. They realized that an implemented so many other things than just filling out papers. Hopefully I will be able to have surgery by August or September 2012.
