Long time OH.....
Feb 24, 2010
So I've been on it for 3 weeks now. Have to give myself injections every day (unless on my monthly cycle) and keep to a strict 500 calorie diet. Yeah, I know what you're thinking...500 CALORIES!! That's like no food at all right, lol!! Well, with the vitamins and prescribed Phentermine they gave me, I'm not hungry, not tired and my anxiety has been fine. On this diet, you're supposed to lose 1/2 pound to 1 pound A DAY!! So imagine my astonishment when I went in for my 1st week checkup that I had lost 10 lbs!!!!! Saaay Whaaaat! I walk 30 minutes a day, have been before the diet, so I felt really good about myself. The second week I lost another 6 pounds, ya girl is on a roll. Well, last week, my 3rd week into the program, I didn't lose not 1 pound, nor gain any and that is because that pesky friend of us ladies decided to visit. So I didn't adhere to the diet properly and wasn't able to take my injections. "No biggie" says the nurse because I was starting off on the right track. I go for my next checkup on this coming Tuesday, started back on my shots today and I'm ready to continue this long, but very rewarding journey.
To all those "in the struggle", stay motivated, stay positive and stay determined!!!
Many blessings,
NiNi

Why is it...
Jun 18, 2009
...I was having a conversation, with someone who I call a close friend, last night about wanting to have WLS. Important to mention, she's nowhere near overweight. I've been knowing this girl for years, our little girls play together, and we've been there for each other in more ways than one. So anyway, after me telling her that I want the surgery, she had the balls to ask me "why". So I paused and thought to myself, "wtf u mean y, I'm obese idiot, or maybe u're so off in your own world that you never noticed...!" But instead, I chose to answer her question like this....."because I would like to have a better quality of life, be more healthy, be able to run around with my daughter at the park, have a safer pregnancy (if in God's will) next time, be able to actually buy clothes that look good, and to be able to feel better about myself." Do yall know this chick said, "well, NiNi, you've always had a pretty face!" WTH!!!!! Why is it that people ALWAYS gotta point out that a big girl HAS A PRETTY FACE!! As if to say if I lose the weight my face WON'T be pretty no more....I'm sooooo tired of hearing that. Out of all my reasons I gave her, she came back with that, how sad. Maybe its because non-overweight people have NO CLUE how an overweight or obese person feels everyday. They have no idea the stress and depression we feel, they have no idea what we go through!!! I just simply sighed on the phone and told her I'll talk to her later. She texted me about an hour later asking if I wanted to have lunch today....... UH, NO THANKS, BUT YOU GO AHEAD AND ENJOY!!
