Thanksgiving Day Dinner
5 days ago
Well it's the day after Thanksgiving. I am feeling great! I was real worried that I would get sick on Thanksgiving, however I didn't! I did great, I felt Great and everyone said that I looked great! I ate what I wanted and knew my limits. I didn't over eat or even feel uncomfortable. I had my small plate of food which consisted of: Turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, and baked macaroni and cheese. I thought that the mac and cheese would make me sick but it didn't. I ate what i thought was OK and did good. Protein first then veggies and then the other. I drank a caffeine free diet coke. Well I had half of one slightly watered down and it was good. It curved that craving I had for a soda. Everyone was drinking soda and had seconds and thirds of food. I resisted and felt good.
Well anyways, today we went shopping at old navy, target, and walmart. At Old Navy we got my hubby some jeans, and I got some shirts. They are cute and fit really well. Well at Target I tried on a couple dresses and they actually fit and looked good. Actually one dress was even to big. That was exciting. At Walmart I picked up some jeans that are size 21 and my hubby was asking if I was going to try them on. I didn't feel like it so I tried them on at home and they fit good. I tried on some pants that I had bought at Lane Bryant and I actually fit into a stretch fit 18! I was sooooo Excited!!! But anyways, I am going to go. I will update again soon.

Tomorrows Thanksgiving!
on November 26, 2008 3:43 am
Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am a little excited and nervous at the same time. My doctor said that I can try whatever I want to pretty much, but to keep an eye out for sugars and things that might make me sick. They said to remember to eat my proteins first, then try other things. I have recipes for sugar free desserts and I can eat fruit now but I am a little scared to. I don't like to throw up or feel sick. It's one of the worst feelings in the world, the unbearable cramps in the stomach and intestines. But, anyways, I will eat Turkey, Green Beans, and a little mashed potato. I have tried corn in the past and it is still to hard for me to eat. I will not eat any rolls because they are always so dense but I do have bread that I can eat if I want a slice. It will be very interesting also for my family, for them to see what little I can eat. They have seen that I can't eat a whole lot but to be able to eat off of a saucer plate instead of a platter will be a big change. I am looking forward to it. I want to see if I have trained myself, i guess would be good words to use, to know when to stop. Self Control! Well I will update again tomorrow to let you know if any came back up after going in. Ha ha!  Talk to you later!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

294 and feeling good
on November 19, 2008 11:40 pm
Well I had my 3 month doctors appointment on Monday and they said I was doing good. I am weighing 294. YAY! They said that the only problem that they saw was that my iron levels were low, so they want me to eat more things with iron or take an iron supplement. They raised how many times per day that I eat. I was only eating 2 times a day but now I get to eat 3 times a day. They want me to eat really high protein meals because I am not on a protein supplement anymore. My hair is really falling out though. Partly because of the protein and partly because of the stress of the holidays. Well I am going to go to bed because it is really early, in the morning. Talk at you later!

Under 300!!!
on November 8, 2008 2:10 pm
I am finally under 300 pounds. It has been about 3 months and I have gone from a size 28 jeans to a size 22. I am feeling and looking great. Well at least I think so. I went shopping on Thursday and got a couple new shirts and 2 pairs of jeans, size 22. I have to keep putting it because it is so hard to believe. I have even lost weight in my fingers. I was wearing a size 11 ring but now I can fit into a size 9. I had to even go buy new underwear. I am in a size 18/20 underwear. I am sooooo excited. I think the last time i was under 300 or even in a size 22 I was in high school. That was 6 years ago. It is crazy. I feel so great it is just unreal. I am trying not to brag but I want to. I have been working out at the YMCA with my husband and have been losing about 5 pounds a week. I think that's pretty good. I have set a new goal for myself to try and be in a size 18 or 20 by time Christmas comes. I know I can do it. I am going to work my butt off, literally, so I can do it! Thanks for reading and send me a message if you want.

Well lets see, I stopped by my doctors office on Thursday to see if I had lost any weight since the Thursday before and I had. I lost 5 pounds in a week. I think that's pretty good. I am now weighing 304. Almost under that 300 mark. I can't wait till that happens. I uploaded a picture of last Halloween compared to this Halloween to see if I could tell a difference and I totally can. I couldn't believe it but there is a pretty good difference. I was so excited that I could finally really tell. I have been going and working out with my husband and it has been great. I start out walking the treadmill for 30 min. then we do a circuit on the weight machines to help me to start toning up. Well I am going to go now but will update again soon.

My Story

I am a 25 year old female who has been overweight all my life. I was born in July 1983 weighing 11 lbs. & 1 oz.. I was always teased in school about beeing fat. I am now suffering from a couple minor health problems and when they suggested surgery I was shocked. I then thought about it and was like, sign me up.  Now surgery is less than 2 weeks away and I am starting to get nervous.
