 Well now down to 128 pounds in a size 7. I do have more energy but hurts to eat still. Need to learn to slow down when eating. Need to get more b12 in my system I am not absorbing it. So doing the under the tongue. I am now back to the beginning eating bland and soft foods. Trying real hard to maintain weight. 
We now live in California surviving lol. Doctors doing a lot of testing on me. Losing to much weight to fast. I feel better but look old lol. Really dont want to get the proceedure reversed.  But it may come down to that. Need recipes to help me keep food down and maintain the weight and get the protien in. I do like shrimp so that helps and I am eating liver love that and finally after  a year can eat eggs  Ya!!!!!

Well things are finally going better. I figured out some of my problem is that I have been eating to fast, need to slow down. Still eating about 12 tablespoons of food a day being out almost 7 months now. 

                              Now some better news. I finally decided to move forward with life. Went back to school. I got my CNA Yeah! Currently working but have been offered a better job with better pay doing what I love. Will know more about it this week.


                                 As far as the weight loss. I have lost 110 pounds. The inch's are coming off fast. Had a stand still for a spell but back on track. Bread is not a good thing lol. In fact any kind of starch is bad does not agree with me.

                                I am amazed at how slim my legs are getting. I don't get grossed out now when I walk in front of a department store window and see my reflection. My legs are finally taking shape woo hoo.

                                The best part is I feel so much better! I can breath and move easier and loving it.  Still do not like the pain from eating to fast. But you learn your body teaches you what you can and can not do. Yes it is a life adjustment for the rest of your life. Would I like to eat a fried egg? Would love to ! But ...... my body says no way not going to happen. Some meat I can handle and other meat forget it.

Still have issues with protein drinks and shakes can not do them. I am now even having issues with cheese. I used to love cheese lol. Was a down fall for me lol.
Any ways life is looking up for me. There are days I regret having it done. When I feel sick and just want to lay down. Then the other time when I can climb stairs or play with my daughter or do things I couldn't do before makes the difference.

Well that's it for now will try to put some pics up here soon. Thank you all for those who have stayed in touch. I know I haven't been on here much. But I am a part of life now instead of life passing me by.

*Slowing Down
on September 20, 2010 9:39 am
Well things have gotten better I now can hold food down. I still in learning process. Like wait 20 minutes in morning before taking my meds or I go in gag mode. By my cound I have lost around 85 pounds give or take a pound. Still have a problem with protien. Losing my hair which is ok considering it was so thick to begin with. I can move a lot better. I am doing more. I am actually working now and enjoying it. I am now a care taker for a great company and I am getting my cna in november. Not ready to be on my feet yet for 8 hours a day but good to have securtiy. So when more weight comes off then I can look into the position as a cna. I will try to keep every one informed on how things are going.  I will be honest in having this done it has been a battle and it is not easy. I have finally accepted the mental part of it there for it is not so bad. And was much needed. The physical part is the hard part. There is not much of pain because if your walking it makes it easier. It is the getting sick part that is so hard. I am four months out and I still have stomach issues.  My body limits me on what I can eat and how much. I do need to get more protien in. I have problems with the protien and my stomach does not like it lol. I have learned even has much as I enjoy and love the taste of some thing DO NOT TAKE THAT EXTRA BITE! I will get about half way through a meal and look at the rest of my plate and say I am satisfied and put the rest away or give it to my spoiled dog lol. But life is much better.

My Story

Hi name is June,
          I am 45 been doing the yo yo for years. When I was five years old I weighed 95 pounds was rushed to hospital the fat was sufficating my heart. At 7 years because of being in the system was put on riddelen was a bean pole maybe 45 pounds.  Age 18 had a wash board stomach then at 23 was last time I saw size 18 pants.
        My story is my story we all have one I am one that doesn't like to dwell.  But here it goes. I was molested as a child a few times but then again many other children where to. So I used that has a crutch. I ate to get big to hide to become fearless. I had some close people in my life that would think they were helping me by saying things to me. Wich in turn just made me go the oppisite way and gain more once again was using excusses. I thought if I was big enough that people would be scared of me and I would never have to worry about and advancement from any one. Long story short I was killing myself.  No one made me eat the way I did no one forced food down me.
              I took some thing that my x husband said personally. I used what he said and blamed him and gained over 150 pounds in less then a year.
          I then was having medical problems ones that will be with me for the rest of my life. I needed to make some changes so I did.
       I left my husband and moved out of state closer to my  mom with my brothers. I found my old high school sweet heart and forgot why we split up ( remember now lol ) Well that is where my little one steps in. My little girl my life savor.  At that time I was at my heaviest right before I got pregnant. Was 400+ During that time I had lost around 147 pounds.
         Life had changed for me and is still changing. I met a wonderful man 18 months after she was born. He and I share a very spiritual life.  He has taught me many things. I no longer hold grudges have anger. I also take responsibility for my own actions and emotions.
        Many of us like to blame others for the things we do. The hardest thing in life is to be honest with yourself.  With me no one made me eat what I did and how much. No one forced me to stay in the house and do nothing. No one forced me as a adult to smoke. I did all these things on my own they were my choices. As hard as it was to admit all that life became easier.
                   I no longer blame any one for the way I am today. If some one said some thing to you and it upset you well you percieved it that way no one said hey now you have to cry. With me I look at it as if they have a issue with me then that is their issue. If I have a issue with me then well I better change don't you  think?
            Yes I am having the gastric bypass done and yes this is my decision I am doing it for myself and for my daughter.  There is no more choices this is a life change and not a fad. I have quit smoking mind you I have smoked for over 30 years and about 18 years was 3+ packs a day.  I have already changed my eating habit. I am making steps to do this life changes forever. There is no go back. This isn't like a marriage or a job. You can not quit this well you can if you want it to be the end but this is forever. Commitment every day for the rest of your life. I know I may never drink another soda pop. Or have any kind of sweets. I am fully aware of this.
               I am no longer scared nor will I ever hide behind my weight.
           Right now its hard for me to walk breath bend I wear slip on shoes. Pull on pants miss wearing real pants. I want to lay in a bath tub so bad I can't remember the last time I had a bath Showers are fine but I do miss relaxing in a tub.  Will be happy to get rid of the odor. Yes the obese odor you can take a shower and by end of day smell badly. To sleep all night miss that to. I don't now because of the weight.  Sitting in a chair for more then 20 minutes kills my hips my back shoulders. I am constantly tired.  It is going to be nice to wear shorts again during the summer woohooo can't wait for that one.
                 Most of all I want to beable to sit on the floor with my little girl and play with her or take her to the park and have enough energy to run around with her. Yes I also want to feel attractive for myself no one else. I want to beable to breath again. Wear regular clothes. Lets face it unless we spend a fortune we in some plain ugly clothes lol. I would love to become a designer for womens clothing.
           When all is said and done I do want to help others to prevent getting as big as I am.  Life is to short. Live and love life.
