So Im starting over from scratch, starting with liquids an protein shakes for 6 weeks than i can add soft foods then back to regular food an see how much weight I can loose.. I'm gonna start the YMCA for my exorcize since both my kids are in school I will be able to go work out a few hrs in the mornings.. So im praying this works So i can get my tummy tuck...

So I went to the Dr. today not happy about what he said but Im going to keep trying anyway!  He looked at my upper an lower GI an said basically my pouch looks more like a gastric sleave than a bypass because its elongated instead of a more rounded or egg shape pouch.   He said basically its the size he does when he does surgery..... SOOOOOO I have to start on a liquid protein diet for 6weeks then go to soft foods an then start solids  all over again... I've lost 10 lbs in the month of Aug an if i can loose 10lbs a months  over the next 6mo I will be down to 220 an hopefully back in a size 12 im hoping I can do it cause I wanna get my tummy tuck next year so i can be cute for summer.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So i went in at am this morning an had my upper GI done... My puch is small but my opening from the pouch is extremely large an nothing stays in the stomach an it doesn't get full.  So now its a waiting game to see what the Dr. decides to do... Im hoping they will fix it soon so i can get back to loosing my weight.. I will keep everyone updated as things progress!!   

They scheduled my upper G. I.  for this Friday!! then I get to see if they are gonna let me get my revision done... Pray they do.. 

A lot has happened since I last was on here I have moved form California  to Virginia.  Im now 288lbs not happy with my self very disappointed in the way my life has gone in the last 1.5 yrs ..  Its not easy knowing ive under gone surgery just 3 1/2 yrs ago an need a revision already im extremely upset with my self an my situation.  I am praying that the doctors ok my  revision an its done by the end of the year.  I can guarantee I wont be getting pregnant after this time...  I am now in a relationship an suppose to be getting married soon..   I will update everyone on my progress an the decision of the DR.

 

In the last two yrs an 9 mo's I have had a beautiful Little boy who is now almost 14mo's. I ended up getting pregnant again when he was about 3mo's old an ended up losing the baby at almost 3mo's.  I have been struggling with my weight since  I lost the baby In Jan 2012.  I am now waiting for the Dr to send my paperwork to insurance for a revision.   I go in on the 13 of Sept. So i hope he will send it then.  I hope everthing go's as planned an I get my revision. I dont wanna gain all my weight back!

  I                                                                                                                            


I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE IT A YEAR AN ITS BEEN TWO YRS.  I HAD A BABY 10MO'S AFTER I HAD THE GASTRIC BYPASS iTS NOT EASY TO AJUST  TO BEING SMALLER THAN WHAT I WAS. I STILL LOOK AT MY SELF  AN SEE WHO I USE TO BE AN NOT WHO I AM.  DATING IS HARD BECAUSE I SEE MYSELF THEY WAY I USE TO BE.  I HAVE BODY IMAGE ISSUES BECAUSE OF MY EXTRA SKIN.  BUT I WOULDNT CHANGE IT FOR ALL THE MEONEY IN THE WORLD.

Hello everyone hope everything is going good with you and your journey.  So its been a few weeks I'm starting to slow down on my weight loss but I'm assuming its because I'm not getting enough protein in my diet.  I have 90 lbs left to goal weight and I'm sure I will pass that and end up going smaller.  I'm happy because I went to avenue the other day and they had a size 14 on the clearance rack and I just new there was no way I could get into them. no way but I ask the sales clerk to try them on any way. And guess what, I looked like I pored my self into them.  but I got them on and buttoned them.  That was all that mattered, LOL.

I was so happy Its funny to see my pants that I use to ware and the clothes I ware now. Before there was no way I would go out in a pair of tight capri pants and tank top now I will and look cute doing it.  I'm dating now and its almost overwhelming because I have so many guys that think I'm hot. I think I found one that I want to date but we will see what happenes. 

I'm so glad I had my surgery I went out with the girls to a club last night and I didn't get tired or out of breath dancing all night it was fun and good for me.  I can do so many things I couldn't do before, my favorite is being able to play with my daughter.  There is no comparison just that was worth everything.  I can cross my legs now and that tripped me out the first time.   Its nice to be more flexible and be able to be normal. 

So its been about a month sence I wrote on here.  I can now get a size 16 on and button it WOW, I dont like how they fit yet because my skin on my stomuch is lose and it hangs over my pants.  But I can get the pants on an that in its self seems like a merical. LOL  I am eating regular foods with out any problems, I do experence dumping if I eat anything that is fried or has to much oil in it.  I have been able to eat something sweet when i crave it and not over due it. I dont eat break, rice, or pasta they all make me sick. I have noticed that if i eat meat I can only take like two bites and Im full, but i can go to BK and get there 99cent salad and eat the whole thing.

I have started having a regular period again, I didnt have one before surgery for almost a year and when i did they were far and few between.  I'm excited Im almost half way to my goal, I can not belive only 4 mo ago I was 390lbs and this morning I weighted and I'm 304 this is awsome.  I can now cross my legs, tie my shoes, go for LONG walks, and play at the park with my daughter.  This month was the first time I have been able to go and swing on the swings with her and run around with her and just have fun.

I haven't done the splits in about 4yrs and I did them the other day just to see if i could do them again and I can. all my clothes from the former me are all to big I look like a different person.  I thank god every day for the oppertuinty I was givvin to have gastric bypass, with out it I dont think I would be here in a few yrs. Now i know i will be around to see my daughter graduate and go to college.
