    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

one year mark wowwwwww
on August 23, 2008 3:08 pm
Well my oh family. I know I have not posted in a while but everything is going good.One year ago I never would have thought life would be so different. Well to begin with I now weigh 157 I still want to lose about 25 more pounds to be at my personal goal but to tell you the truth if I never lost another pound I will still be happy. I can now wear a size 8 and small tops. I just am so happy with all the energy that I have now for my family it is so amazing. I have recently finish going to school to become a phlebotomist after being with a job for about 4 1/2 years. So for anyone out there who has not made up there mind to have this surgery it is so worth it. This was the best decision that I ever made.

Well everyone my 10 month has past.  The last time I posted I was at 169 but after that the scale kept going for 170, 171, and 169 and would not move.  So I read on hear that some people had tried doing the all liqued protein thing.  Well I decided to do it and guess what this is just my 3rd day today and i already weigh 164 that's about 5pounds.  Right now I feel like I am on top of the world.  I still have 7 more days I will update my progress after that.  I love my rny.........

9 month update
on May 22, 2008 5:51 am

Yesterday was my 9 month surgery  anniversary.   I now weigh 174.  I can fit in some size 10 clothes but mostly 12's.   I am doing fine health wise the only thing that I am struggling with is old habits.  All I want to do is snack all the time but I trying my best to keep on track some days are so much harder than others.  Please keep me in your prayers.  Well that's all for now will update more later.

Well I am well in to my 8th month and all is good.  I now down to about 177 as of this morning need to loose about 42 to get to my personal goal.  I hope I can get there by my one year mark.  My weight has started to slow down somewhat I hope it picks back up.  The hardest thing that I find that I have to deal with since having surgery is dealing with head hunger.  I it wasn't for my husband keeping me on the straight and narrow sometimes I dont know what I will do.   I am trying to be strong it is just a struggle everyday with this.  Well wish me luck on getting to goal.   For all you people struggling with whether to have surgery or not it is sooooo worth it.  I wish I could have had it sooner.  Well until next time.

My Story

 

I have been heavy all my life but over the last 31/2 years i've really been struggling.  I have tried about every diet out there including many diet pills.  I finally made the decision to have the surgery.  I've already had the consultation on march 28, 2007 and completed my cardio testing.  Currently i weigh 297.  The only person in my family giving me support about my surgery is my husband everyone else just tell me negative things.. I'm just ready to be on my way with this journey.
