4 week surgiversary!!
on May 9, 2012 10:41 am

What a difference 4 weeks make!! I am down 20 since surgery and 27 since liver shrink. I am so happy that I was blessed to have this surgery, it has changed my life already. I have a pep in my step know just knowing that my scale is going down and not up like it normally does. I cant wait to see what the future holds for me!!

It's working!!!
on May 4, 2012 12:02 pm
 Today I weighed in at 239.5!! That's 17.5 down since surgery!! I think I am starting to get the hang of this. I have started listening to my body and not eating when I'm not hungry. That has been hard for me up until this point. I am starting to feel and see the weight coming off. I can wear my wedding ring now, haven't worn it in months! Happy dance!!;);)

2 1/2 weeks post op
on April 28, 2012 9:54 am
Well, what can I say? I was not expecting my recovery to take as long as it did. I am 17 days post op and feeling pretty good. I have only lost 12 lbs since surgery. I of course have the thought that I am gonna be the one this surgery isnt gonna work for. You dont realize how much your life revolves around food until it is taken away. I have been walking some and doing my workout dvd's. I need to do better though. I still get tired easily. I have have been doing pretty good as far as my protein goes. I need to buy some of those bullets to get in a lot of protein in one shot!! I cant wait to go back to work!!

Surgery is done ;););)

Is so happy the surgery went "perfectly" according to my surgeon. I was not prepared forthe pain when I woke up. It was much more painful than my lapband surgery. I got back to my room around 2pm and was up walking 3 hours later. I just went for round 2. Feeling pretty good except I'm hungry!! Is this normal??

2 weeks away from RNY!!!
on March 28, 2012 7:18 am
My liver shrink diet starts today! I am sooooooo nervous that I will fail at even this. My plan is to start walking today, hopefully it will help with some weight loss too. I can't believe that I am only 2 weeks away from my life changing forever. I can't wait to get healthy!!!

My Story

My name is Jennifer, I am 34, mother of 4 beautiful kids. I married my high school sweetheart 8 months ago ;). I have been overweight since I was a teenager. Got my first job at Sonic, gained 35 lbs over the summer. That ruined the rest of my high school years. I lost many friends, even girls, when I gained the weight. As an adult, I ballooned to 286 and decided to have lap band surgery. I lost 110lbs and it recently has started coming back :(, apparently I have a leak in my band. I have gained almost 50lbs since March!! Well, I am ready to go for the "real deal" RNY. I have attended the seminar and have my first weigh in next week. I am super excited and scared at the same time!!!
