Hello OH family....today is kind of hard for me because I just left an appointment with my PCP today and my blood pressure was 160/90!! Yes you read it correctly, they checked it 3 times so now I am on a mandatory recheck for some time so I may be going back on meds. And to top that off the nurse that took me in told him I was eating the same amount of foods and whatever I wanted or something to that effect. I think that mix up could be due to the fact that she had lap band the 5-6 months before I had RNY and stil haven't lost much weight or at least she appears to be the same as she was the first time I saw her. So I had to straighten that out. I was like that's not what I said she asked me how it was going and I told her I pretty much can eat whatever I want and not have any issues with it and I just try to keep it as close to my diet plan as possible; not that I am eating the SAME amounts as I were prior to surgery.

Honestly I don't think my BP was weight related anyways because I live a high stress life so I will try not to beat myself too bad about it. And to top it off, I am completely bald across the front of my head! I think I am going to do something so bold as to just shave the rest of this shit off and wear a wig! Yep I think I will have it tapered next week an then buy me some really big ear rings but damn that means I have to wear make up everyday......

I have an appointment with the surgeon next week so we will see what's next.

Hey Y'all what's happening!!
 
Well Here's the current update on me. Weight loss is going ok for right now because I am still enjoying it. I would be lying if I said I don't get frustrated at times but those are brief and few. Today I am down to 212.5; now my goal is to be down 13 lbs by the end of this month. I know in order to do that I must get on that exercise truck that I keep dreaming about!

Today is my oldest baby's birthday and she just turned 12! Wow, I feel old at 30 :) Well yesterday I saw one of my old friends that was supposed to have gone thru the process of surgery with me back in 2001 but needless to say she didn't and she needed it more than I did/do, anyways I saw her for the first time in over 6 months and the first thing came out her mouth "Gone girl and get down to that size 2 "we" been dreaming about our whole life!" She says her diabetes is out of control and she probably will get the surgery after her wedding in August because she "want to be able to get down like she want to (sex-wise)! I feel her on that one because she gone have to be careful for a minute with none of those splits and shit we "use" to do while big! Then the other friend comes out and says "hey skinny bitch" now for a minute I am looking around going who she talking to because she said it like 4 times then my other big friend says she talking to you...lol I was like oh girl please. I do know I am losing and have lost weight but my brain is still in big girl mode. I don't want to part with my clothes because before when I would lose weight I would eventually get back to my size.

I am trying to realize that I probably won't be back to this size ever again in my life! Even if I do gain "some" of the weight back I know it won't be the full 150 lbs! At least I hope not!!! I can now fit in a lot of 14s and 16s are comfortable. I fixed my Wii that my 2 year old stuck 3 DVDs in I almost broke him and that damn game for that matter, so that I can exercise! I was going to invest  in a gym but thought about I know my non exercising type ass will be wasting money so back to the Wii personal trainer in hopes of forcing myself to get into a routine of using it!! Also, I was going to invest in the Wii Fit Plus but I can't seem to find that bitch anywhere! Before I wanted to get one they were everywhere in every store now I am decided on getting it and what do you know, they are all out! So hopefully the next update I post I will be in onederland wondering what's next. At least I have enough confidence to believe by April 7th 2010 I will be out of the 200s!

Forgot to add....before surgery, my shoe size was either a 10w or 11; well the other day I put on some brand new 10w's and damn what do you know, those bitches are like flip flops on my feet now! Shit this is expensive because now everything about me has to be done over!

Until next time stay encouraged!!
