Feeling Judged
Apr 15, 2017
So today I am at my moms house everyone is eating lunch and I get a plate as well... As I sit down my mom looks at me and says "Don't gain your weight back" and before I could even respond she says "Well It's Reality". So I got up and decided to put my lunch back and not eat. I hate feeling like my family watches me eat, just waiting to correct me or judge me. I feel like running in a corner to hide and cry. It's hard enough being stared at cause your big, but now that I am trying to change that everything I eat is being watched, judged, and commented on. Not sure what to do!!!!! ????
Weight Loss Prior to Surgery Update
Apr 14, 2017

DAY 4: Modified Liquid Diet
Mar 30, 2017
So today has been much easier... haven't had too many cravings. On yesterday I realized that all the frustration and other emotions I was feeling was me simply going through withdrawl from all of the processed food I used to consume. I can honestly say that even after these few short days I feel alot less sluggish through out the day. I had mu PCP change the dosage of my depression and axniety medication to help regulate the changes I am going through. Lord I hope it helps. I do know that the true test will be this weekend. It has been somewhat easy being at work and maintaining the diet but it remains to be seen how I will do over the weekend when I am out and about. I guess the best thing to do is to prepare my shakes and protein bars for the day and take them with me where ever I go. Well Until next time... Stay Encouraged. #thejourneymoment
Day 2: Modified Liquid Diet
Mar 28, 2017
Ok so today has been a little easier! I have been trying not to let myself get too hungry by making sure to plan out the times I will have a shake or protein bar. I tried a different flavor protein bar today which was like heaven!!!! Quest protein bars Blueberry Muffin flavor is great. For some reason this flavor left me more satisfied than the others I have tried. My family has been so supportive and I thank God for them. My mom, aunt, and grandmother have allowed me to call them if at any point I feel weak and want to eat something outside of the guidelines!!! I know awesome right!!! Well that's all for now!!!! #idontneedeasyijustneedpossible

I even have cheerleaders at work!!!! I promise to keep yall posted about my progress! Starting Weight: 432lbs With God and my Family I know I can do this!!!!!
My Journey Begins
Mar 24, 2017
After years of struggling with my weight I have finally decided to have WLS. The struggle with my weight has been a rough one. I think the defining moment that sparked my desire for weight loss surgery was realizing that I couldn't enjoy playing with my nephew without getting short of breath or having back pain. I knew that I had to do something different. So with my families support I had a consult with my PCP and Surgeon. He wants me to lose 30-50lbs prior to surgery so he has started me on a modified liquid diet for the next two weeks. I am scared but excited at the same time. I know the road that lies ahead will not be easy but it will be worth it!!!
