I am not too fond of exercise at  the moment. Going to the gym is like a big adventure that I'd rather avoid! I feel like everyoone is watching me as I walk in the door. I'm a little frustrated at the fact that I can only last 15mins. on the elliptical machine right now. When I was heavier, I could last for over an hour!! Oh well... it's only been a few days I've been going to the gym, I'll get better at it.
NO WORRIES MAN!! :-)

Well ladies and gentlemen, I am officially 58 lbs. lighter!!! I am so happy and I cannot believe it! I went from 272 lbs. to 214. I haven't been this weight since high school. I am so close to to being under 200 soon. WOW, an amazing feeling! I just joined up with a new gym that charges only $12/month. I cancelled 24 hour fitness because they were charging me close to $40 a month which was too much for my budget. i am consistantly going to the gym 3-4 times a week which is heloing me with the weight loss. I've visited a lot of my OH friends pages and I am so proud of all the progress you guys made. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! DON'T GIVE UP! C-ya! :-)

Hello OH Fam! Its been several months since my last post and I thought I would come on and give you guys an update on my progress. I have lost a total of 52 lbs. since my surgery which I think its going waaay too slow. My doctor thinks I'm doing great losing the weight @ a steady pace. My family and friends tell me that they can see the change in me even though I don't...lol. I'll try to post a current photo of me later. I hope everyone's doing great with their progress!! I will blog again soon! Toodles!

Hello my OH fam!

I had my 2nd fill on Thursday of last week. So I have a total on 5cc's in my band. OMG, it is a huge difference in eating! If I don't chew my food really well....AND I MEAN REALLY WELL, then it gets stuck and I have to throw up to get it out! EWWW. Right now, I can only eat a bowl full and be stuffed!
I'm still trying to get used to eating slowly and drinking slowly. I'm getting better @ it, but every once in awhile, I do forget.


I've lost 23lbs. so far and I've been working out either @ the gym or I workout with my Biggest Loser DVD's and my dumbells. Overall, I'm happy with the weight I've lost so far. It only motivates me to workout even more. I also notice my pants are getting a lil' bigger.  I hope my OH fam is doing every with their weight loss goals and I hope everyone had a great new year!

:-)

Happy New Year OH Fam!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. I have been packing and moving during mine.  My husband and I finally got the last few boxes of stuff into our house yesterday. I didn't realize how much crap we had until I had to pack it all! LOL As far my weight loss goes, I haven't lost anymore than 15 pounds. So my first month wasn't too bad on weight loss. I am extremely excited because I get my 1st fill on the 14th of this month. I cannot wait. I made a mistake by eating some rice the other night and it came right back up...eww. I won't be doing that again.
 

Alright, just checking in with everyone. I hope everyone has a safe and blessed week.
Peace.

Well, today was my first day back to work. I'm sitting here bored out of my mind!  I decided to stop by and give a lil' update on my progress. I am feeling pretty good. My incisions are healing nicely and i'VE LOST 15LBS in 10 days! Thats crazy! LOL. We got the keys to our house yesterday and we plan to start moving in our things lil' by lil' this week. As far as my eating habits go, my meals consist of soups, baked potatoes, jello, vitamin water, popsicles, puddings, and broths. My doctor says I can start baby food tomorrow. YUM! lol.

Alright lunch time is over. Back to work!! YIKES. See ya.

Thank you for all the warm personal messages that were sent to me over the last few days. I really appreciate it and I hope everyone is doing well. My surgery went well. I've been very sore and HUNGARY the last few days...lol. Other than that, I am doing good. I have the whole week off to rest so I'm happy. Today I decided to start packing up some things in our apartment since we are moving into our new house on the 1st of January. I am so excited! My husband is @ work right now and he would kill me if he saw me packing right now...LOL. He worries entirely too much for me.

I am getting used to being on all clear liquids diet. But sometimes its really hard when I see food commercials on TV. I told my husband that I would give my left nut (IF I HAD ONE!) for a slice of pizza. He looked at me, smiled and said " I Bet you would"...LMFAO. As of today I have no regrets with having this surgery. Who knows how I'll feel about it tomorrow, but I just know I'm happy at this moment in my life. There's nothing but good things to come for all of us! I love my OH fam and I will catch ya'll later! Until then.....G'NIGHT

My surgery is the day after tomorrow and I'm starting to get nervous and REALLY EXCITED! Lord, is this really happening?? I still cannot believe it! My husband and I also found out today that we got the house we made an offer on. Escrow closes Dec. 18th. I KNOW, its so soon. The surgery and moving into a new house is alot to deal with. I will make it through, i know it. To my OH fam, God Bless you all!

See Ya!

December 11 is my surgery day. I am so excited and nervous @ the same time. I've heard so many of my friends and family say to me that they don't understand why I have to have WLS. I swear they all sound like a broken record. I try to explain to them that this is what is best for me. I have been dieting since I was 11 years old, and now I am almost 29 and I haven't had any success. I am mentally and psychically tired. My family and friends don't understand because they're not in my shoes. But I know that bottom line, they support me. So, with that being said, I have less than 2 weeks to go before my life changes for the better. I know that this is going to be a hard road to follow, but I am ready for the challange because I know God will be right there beside me. I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!

I GOT APPROVED!! I called my insurance company today and they said I was approved!!! I am so happy and EXCITED!! I think I've called just about everyone that I know to tell them the good news! Now I have to setup the surgery date. It will probably be sometime in January, around my birthday. THAT WOULD BE A WONDERFUL B-DAY GIFT TO MYSELF! My husband is so excited and happy for me as well!
If you are in the process of trying to get approved for WLS through your insurance, DON'T GIVE UP! BE PATIENT, IT WILL HAPPEN! Best of luck to you. And I hope all is doing well. See ya!
