first day back to work
on March 5, 2009 7:15 pm
Today I am a little over two weeks out and I have gone back to work. I have only been here for a couple hours and so far doing ok. I am a little tried, but I am sure that is normal. I brought a lunch box packed with protien....cottage cheese, turkey lunch meat, yogurt, string cheese...etc. I know I wont eat it all, but I want to have a choice of what to eat depending on how I feel. I am glad to be back to work because I was getting bored and I think I wanted to eat more when I had nothing to do (head hunger). So I just wanted to update, I will write again soon.

its getting closer
on November 22, 2008 1:56 pm
I am almost finished with all of my presurg reqirements. I have my last appointment with the excersize physiologist on Dec 6th. I have my psych eval next week, and the pre surg testing next week. After that all I have left is submitting everything to the ins company for approval, which and there is no reason for me to not be approved. So this means that I will be having surg probably in January or soon after. I cant believe it. The time went by alot faster than I thought it would. Now I am starting to get nervous. I am more excited than nervous though. As soon as I get a date I will do "before" full body pix. I dont have any of me atmy heaviest, because obviously, I never let anyone take pix of me. But I will have my husband take some of me now , so they will be minus 30lbs from my heaviest. I will post again soon.

husband finally on board
on July 18, 2008 1:05 pm
I think my husband has finally accepted that I am having surgery. I cant believe it. He asked me the other day..."so whats going on with your surgery?" I was shocked. I really didnt think he was going to get on board this soon. It makes me feel much better. My parents and my daughter are all supportive and all of my friends.So I am happy. I have my first appt on August 5th.

My Story

MY NAME IS KRISTEN. I AM 36 YEARS OLD, MARRIED, WITH THREE CHILREN (17,15, AND 4). I HAVE NOT BEEN OVERWEIGHT MY WHOLE LIFE. I ALWAYS HAD ISSUES WITH WEIGHT BECAUSE MY MOTHER WAS VERY OVERWEIGHT. I AM 5'8" AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A BIG GIRL. I WAS ALWAYS ONE OF THE TALLEST OF MY AGE. I STARTED TO GAIN WEIGHT AS A TEENAGER. I NEVER HIT 200 UNTIL MY MID TWENTIES. NOW, I CANT BELEIVE THAT I ACTUALLY WISH I WAS 200, OR EVEN 250!!!! MY MOTHER HAS RNY ABOUT 5 YRS AGO AND HAS LOST ALOT OF WEIGHT. SHE HAD COMPLICATIONS WITH HER INCISION, BECAUSE IT WAS "OPEN". BUT EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN OK. I DONT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL I AM 50 TO LIVE MY LIFE LIKE MY MOTHER DID. I HAVE TOO MUCH THAT I WANT TO DO IN MY LIFE. IT IS SO FRUSTRATING THAT ALMOST EVERY WAKING MOMENT I AM CONSUMED WITH THOUGHTS ABOUT HOW MUCH I DONT WANT TO BE OVERWEIGHT, AND HOW MUCH I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT, YET I CONTINUE TO EAT THE WAY I DO. I GUESS IT IS LIKE A PERSON ON DRUGS ; THEY WISH THEY COULD STOP, BUT THEY CANT. MY HUSBAND IS VERY SCEPTICAL  ABOUT ME HAVING THIS SURGERY. HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE RISKS. I HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH HIM ABOUT IT. I FINALLY TOLD HIM THAT IT IS MY BODY AND I AM DOING IT FOR MYSELF. I  SAID "WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, DIVORCE ME?" I HAVE MY MIND MADE UP. HOPEFULLY HE WILL UNDERSTAND ONE DAY. IT IS HARD FOR SOMEONE WITHOUT A WEIGHT PROBLEM TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE JUST CANT "EAT LESS, OR EXERCISE MORE". IT ALL SOUNDS  REAL SIMPLE. BUT IF IT WAS, I  WOULDNT BE THIS WAY. I AM STARTING THE JOURNEY TO A NEW ME ON JULY 7TH WHEN I GO FOR MY SEMINAR. I CANT WAIT  TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON LIFE AND EAT TO LIVE, NOT LIVE TO EAT. TO FIT IN SEATS COMFORTABLY, TO SHOP FOR CLOTHES THAT I LIKE NOT JUST CLOTHES THAT FIT. TO NOT HEAR, YOU HAVE SUCH A PRETTY FACE. TO NOT ALWAYS WORRY WHAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING WHEN I WALK PAST THEM, OR FEEL LIKE I AM TAKING UP THE WHOLE HALLWAY.  TO GET ON MY KNEES TO PLAY WITH MY SON AND GET BACK UP WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE AN EIGHTY YR OLD WOMAN. MOST OF ALL I JUST WANT TO LIVE A HAPPY HEALTHY LIFE, WITH MY FAMILY. I WANT TO BE THERE FOR MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
