Hello! My name is Kimmie. I am 24 years old. I am originally from Ashland Kentucky, but I now reside in Huntington West Virginia. I was recently married last September to my best friend. I have been attempting to have RNY Gastric Bypass surgery since November 2006. I finally got my date in December of 2010! It seems like it has taken forever, but I'm glad I have taken my time and now have everything I need for my journey to be a great one!

10 months post op =D
on October 26, 2011 11:15 pm
So I am now 10 months post op. I have lost 146 lbs so far =D I have been at almost and 8 week stall. Since starting school back in August, I have lost my routine =(.  I was a fortunate/unfortunate one. I had NO complications with surgery. Nothing bothered me. I could eat whatever the hell I wanted...Curse and a blessing at the same time. But lately my eating choices have been so poor things are starting to affect me. I guess before when I would  eat something that maybe wasn't surgeon reccommended it I didn't eat enough of it to make a difference...Boy No I am..an my body says NAY NAY! lol. I'm glad the surgery is doing what its suppose to do and allowing me to see that I don't need this shit in me bc it makes me sick. Carbs have ALWAYS been my enemy...still have a hard time giving them up. No ones fault but my own though. I'm glad that i can see these mistakes clearly. So I have vowed to make conscience eating choices, and no let my tool go to waste. I have come too far to go back now. It is time to fight for what I want. Dont get me wrong. I am blessed to have lost a backstreet boy, but I want to hit my goal =D

I really need to start updating on here a lot more.

FEELING GREAT!
on February 4, 2011 10:15 am
It has been over 2 months since I have posted. I had my surgery on 1/31! Everything went great! Only thing I could say that wasn't so pleasant was the nausea followed by the dry heaving. The gas pains still shoot straight up my shoulder. I am very mobile and can get up and down and take care of myself. I am very greatful for that. I am so paranoid of stretching out my pouch. I am always thinking if I am eating too much.. I'm going to start keeping a food diary. Yesterday was the first day that i actually felt like I ate something

Feburary 4, 2011

4 oz Sugar free pudding

Everything happens for a reason =D
on December 9, 2010 1:21 am
So these past couple of days have been hectic and busy! Our good ole 97 pontiac grand am met its demise on monday. It was already on its last leg , but finally kicked the bucket. I have been preaching for months that we needed to break down and buy another car. My husband is the type of person that believes "if its not broken, then don't fix it."  Well him thinking that way had put us in a jam these past couple of days. lol.  So needless to say I now have a "newer" car. I decided on a 2008 Ford Fusion. Needless to say this is the nicest car I have ever owned. the plan was originally I had a friend who was going to sell her car at the turn of the year.  Well she decided she wanted to buy a car just a few days ago. Well she goes, purchased the car and traded it in for 700, when I was willing to give her payoff and above on it.  I understand that she needed to do what she needed to do for herself, but it still pissed me off. I think I was more stressed because it messed up my total plan, rather than being pissed. I think it worked out better in the end. I ended up getting a dependable reliable car. Other than the fact that I have a car payment now, and my insurance has raised slightly I couldn't be happier.

On another note, I think OH is a really really great site. I really have got to chat with so many wonderful people here. I finally feel like I found a place where it is devoted to people in my exact situation. I have found more people here that I have things in common with than I have in my own home town lol.  I'm just really glad I have the forums, chat rooms, and penpals they have definitely been most helpful. Lol I was telling one girl today because her doctor didn't give her a set amount of protein to have, and I was worried becaus I knew she wasn't getting enough lol...It was odd but I feel that these girls should live closer to me and we see eachother everyday lmao..

Well I must now go get ready for work and school.. I'm so glad this semester is almost over!

So being back on OH and in the swing of things has really helped me out! In just a few short days I have made a few friends and started to build me a mini family/support system online. I am really honored to have these girls!

So...I have been testing some protein drinks lately.. I can't find any that I like..So far I have tried Muscle Milk, Advantege Carb control, and these protein shots in fruit punch..that was the worst..bleck I hope you guys are having better luck

Wow, has it really been that long?
on December 2, 2010 12:58 am
Wow! I haven't posted on here in OVER 2 years!  So much has happened!  In the personal life department. I was resuced from a HORRIBLE relationship and now have been in a WONDERFUL relationship for almost 3 years now!  He is my rock, my best friend, and totally secure with himself and our relationship. I went back to school and I am pursuing nursing.

Since my last post Dr. Sonnanstine left St. Luke Hospital, so I decided to go back to my original doctor Dr. Tompkins in Ashland Kentucky. I started ALL OVER AGAIN in October of 08.  I did the 6 months weight loss with my PCP, seen the specialist I needed, sleep studies, upper GI, dietician appointments etc... then I better myself and get a desent job and I lose my insurance! My job I got the insurance didn't cover weight loss surgery. Yeah! Yet another set back! So discouraged I pretty much set it aside and decided to try losing weight again on my own. yeah another epic fail. So in June of 09 my now husband proposes and we marry in September of 09. Open enrollment happens for his work, and guess what? His insurance covers weight loss surgery and I am now able to be a legal dpendent! So now i have insurance.  So i go back to my doctor and the only requirements for my new insurance is have a BMI over 40. Yeah that easy. They submitted to my insurance on October 15th and 0ctober 24th I was APPROVED!  I now have a surgery date of December 22, 2010.  It is actually happen and I almost can't believe it.

So that is my update for now, and I am going to try keep my OH updated!

Hugs and Cupcakes

Kimmie!
