7lbs to goal and 100lb weight loss
on May 14, 2009 6:29 am
I feel so good it is ridiculous, I am officially a size 7/8 with some size 9's depending on the cut of the pants.   I still havent had any problems eating whatever I want which is a little scary cause I really have to stay on top of my game and make the right choices.   I find myself eating only one meal a day which is lunch and it consist of protien and veggies.  I really need to eat three balanced meals but I am usually not hungry.  I havent been taking my vitamins at all so pray for me on that note.  Thank God my bloodwork  hasnt shown any defiencies yet but I need to get then vitamins poppin again.  I am now experience hair loss which I can deal with since I usually wear weave or braids but for some reason I am really thinking about just cuttting and rocking it short til this stage passes.. havent decided yet but ... Anyway I am just so happy and proud of myself and this journey.  And I loving logging on to OH and reading and checking on my OH family.  You guys are the best support system in the world.  257lbs Starting/162 Current /155 Goal

STOP IT! Turn off the weight loss button LOL
on May 6, 2009 2:34 pm
So mom says she wants to talk to me and it is real serious. Says she is not comfortable with me loosing any more weight. Says “the family” likes me better bigger and she is not sure she can get use to me being any thinner . She thinks there is a switch that I can turn off to stop loosing lol. She asked to speak to my dr. and tell him enough is enough LMAO.. I tried to explain when my body is comfortable I will stop loosing. There is no switch to turn it on and off.  I tried to explain she just has to get used to seeing me in my new size.. shot.. I am still getting used to it myself. Every time I look in the mirror I do a double take. I explained I have never been this healthy in my life and I feel good about how I look right now. Now I must admit I am a little concern that after I reach my goal of 150-155 that my body is going to still be loosing and loosing and loosing… and loosing but I am sure I will balance out LOL I am loving this journey and wouldn’t trade it for anything., Dang I need to take some new pics...

My Story

I am 30 yrs old,  a mother of one lil girl who is 3 going on 30.  I am 255lb 5'6" currently and just sick and tired of being sick and tired.  In the last year I have lost 50lb and gained the 50lbs back and I feel so disgusted.  Well I originally began looking into this surgery about 5 years ago because I was tire of slim fast, jenny craig, phen fen, but at the time I talked myself right out of it and started atkins diet.... which I lost about 35 lbs...and guess want about a year and a half.... gained it back and lost it and gained it back ... I dont have a problem with loosing it which are usually in drastic ways... but the keeping it off is a battle..life change is neccessary....  In 2005 I had made up my mind that it was time for me to get my life together and be happy.  I decided to have a baby since I knew I would be gaining at least 50lbs as my mom gained over that amt each time pregnant with myself and my siblings.   so I planned my daughter... end up gaining 70 lbs....did weight watchers and lost the 50lbs I mention above.    So I began looking to lap band vs GNY and at first leaned towards the band because I felt cutting and rearranging my insides was out of the questions.  I discuss my options with my mom (who is 240 lbs) and my sister (who is 135lbs)  They just gave me hell about the thought of surgery.  I have now come to realize my mom didnt want to be left as the only still big, and my sister didnt want me to be competition in her eyes.  I know they both love me and  are scared of change and the possibilities of death.  Dont get me wrong I think I am way sexy and way attractive ( I carry ALL the weight pretty good by covering up LOL) to the others but I want to feel it deep within myself no bulging and rolls to hide :)  When I go out I GO OUT and do the damn thing... but there is always the insecurities about my weight in the back on my mind..       So my mom tells me I am selfish and she will not ever speak to me again if I have any surgery.  I will have to go here for a minute.  I told you my mom is about 5'4" 240lbs with                                          Diabetes                                     Heart Disease                                     Triple bypass Heart surgery at age 40                                     Asthma                                     Sleep Apnea                                     High Blood Pressure I tried to explain how I am 30... only 30 and I have                                 Asthma                                 Sleep Apnea (sleep with cpap machine)                                High Blood Pressure AM I STUPID OR ARE THERE REAL SIMILARITIES THAT COULD TAKE ME OUT OF HERE AT ANY POINT IN TIME.  MYSTERIOUSLY THEY MATCH UP TO MY MOTHER'S HEALTH HISTORY... DAHH!!!   I swear trying to explain to her my reason for even thinking about surgery just went in one ear and out the other.  why oh why... then she tells me I dont care about my daughter if I lay on the operating table and dont wake up..... HOW AZZ BACKWARDS IS HER LOGIC.....    I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THE CRAZY PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY BUT I AM READY FOR THE JOURNEY TO BEGIN.    I am happy where I am in life with my home, my daughter, my job... my relationship, I know God's Will - will be done in my life....    After meeting with Dr. Meilhan I have decided on Gastric Bypass Surgery and feel really confident in this decision.  When meeting I was concern that because I dont look my actually weight that after surgery I would look like a smoker... very unhealthy... Dr. Meilhan explained that every procedure is in some measures fit each individual.. wouldnt bypass the exact same amt for a 250 lb woman versus a 400lb woman ..... and Dr. and I would determine a comfortable goal and I would be responsible for using the tool given to make it happen !! :)   I will update a timeline in a little while of my journey experience so far.  I am currently scheduled for phyc eval, nutrionist, and group session July 22, 2008.   I have put a down payment for a cruise to Jamaica in March of 2009....I am so geeked and ready to be healthy and to looooooosssseeeee .   please keep me in your prayers........
