Well its been a year, Ive lost 130pounds and I just had a Tummy Tuck and my boobies done. I'm doing great its been a roller coaster ride. I would have never thought weight loss could change so many things in my life. My husband and I have grown apart and are desperately working on our relationship, here's hoping!! Ive spent more money on clothes then I ever thought I would and the attention I get when I go out is unreal...and I go out alot!!!! I'm trying to find a happy medium cus I'm def putting my family second and my new found confidence first. I feel amazing I run 3-6 miles daily and am currently doing the P90X program with Tony Horton, my muscle tone is great although since my plastics I'm out for 6 weeks uggg!! My plastics is a whole nother story. I came out fine and was healing beautifully until the night before going back to work my temp. spiked to 104%, turned out I had a kidney stone and pneumonia to boot. I end up in the hospital for another week which sets my progress back and makes me swell like a whale...of course I freak out cus Ive worked so hard and all I see in the mirror is my swollen body and I mean SWOLLEN!! It looked like I had ham hocks between my legs and it hurt to stand and walk at all. I am now 3 days outta the hospital feeling better but still sweating alot and feeling really tired. I get up lots to move around trying to lose fluid but its been a struggle to move around to much but I better get used to it cus I work in two days!! Wish me luck! Also my tummy still feels very tight but my boobies are feeling great. My Dr. also cut out a cyst I had in the pubic region and when my tubes came out I started leaking through that whole...at least its coming out but its pretty gross and the only thing I can use to keep it from dripping all day is a maxi pad lol I call it my diaper. I swear the things we do to look hot! Oh and I started modeling so I'm hoping the TT will help get me more jobs!!

WOW! Im doing great its been 2 months and Ive lost 50 pounds total. Im loving life I feel sexy again and Im begining to feel more comfy going out and about. I got hit on by a high school boy the other day lol! My husband is loving it too he loves that im feeling sexier it is to his advantage def. Still doing well on my protein and food and vitamins. I will have to get my rings sized soon they are getting pretty loose. I got My Fittness Couch for the Wii Fit its pretty neato, it sets up a workout for your body with a trainer and everything. Im working out 5 days a week, walking ,wii fit , some weight training its pretty good and much easier without 50 extra pounds!

Its been one month today and im feeling great!! Ive lost 26.5 pounds already, my only regret is that I didnt do this sooner. I have a much healthier attidute towards food which came sooner than I thought, I do have the occasional twitch to shove a cheeseburger down but the thought of "Dumping"  changes my mind in just a few seconds. Im still on pureed foods, lots of people hate this stage im 3 weeks in and its not too bad. Its kinda nice knowing I can throw 4 tablespoons of food in a to go bag and be done with it. I feel like now I eat for nourishment instead of just to eat. Ive started doing other things like, cross stitch, video games and walking alot. I find that since I cant eat as much Im spending more time on my house and excercising. Yesterday I painted the office which Ive been putting of for about a year now, it looks great but Im hurting today. I was still hurting on my left side untill Friday when it finally stopped but after painting yesterday its back with a vengeance. I knew I probably should have taken it easier but when I get in the middle of things I just cant stop. The good thing is that it snowed today and my boss closed the salon for some reason so I can rest a bit.  Anywho Ive had no problems with sickness or feeling bad so far so thats good but we will see once I get on solid food!
My husband and I aslo celebrated our one year anniversery on Feb. 16 so we went to D.C for the day it was nice although he did eat a hotdog in front of me..I told him he was evil lol! We also welcomed a new member into the family baby Paige, my brothers baby and my little neice. We now have a trifecta ,Valentines day/ Paiges B-Day/ our anniversary. At least we can never forget her birthday!

Its been tricky the last week. At first it wasnt bad, the liquad diet, I wasnt really hungry anyway and I had some pain but nothing a little pain meds didnt control (unless I had to cough, sneeze, or laugh) . Then a couple days ago the pain was becoming less and the mental hunger started to return...of course my husband and friend eating Burger King in front of me probably didnt help. I am now a week out from my surgery Im working out again (lightly) and this morning when I weighed myself I weighed... 9 POUNDS LESS!!! I cant believe it 9 pds in one week, I started crying and called everyone I know. I got through the first week , and I did great! I was so nervous and so scared about the outcome of what I was doing to my body but now I feel releived and motivated to keep going!

I had my surgery on Feb 2 2009. I am 3 days post op and doing great. The pain was about what I thought it would be lots of gas but that's slowly going away and my left side feels tight..but as long as I take my pain meds I'm okie dokie. Its the strangest feeling not being hungry and even though I'm only 3 days out I can tell a difference in my taste as well as my cravings. I actually watched a McDonald's commercial without salivating lol!!

A little history
I'm 28 years old, most of my life Ive been over weight except for a short stint from 8Th grade to 10Th grade but hey I was boy crazy and had some drug problems. I soon realized I would be healthier fat and not a drug addict so I changed my addiction.
I was a freelance hair and makeup artist and so being on the road alot was also not good for my weight lots of eating out and drinking didn't help me with my dieting at all. And I did try, I have been on every diet imaginable sometimes Ide lose weight but  mostly Ide lose 20 pounds or so get bored and gain back 40...you know that's probably most of our stories.
Right before I met my husband I lost 80pds I was doing so great until we got comfy and I gained 95 pounds in less than a year. I was sneaking food in my car because he would cook and I never thought it would be enough.
Finally I started full time back at a salon and I thought that would make it easier to be on a schedule but all it really did was make it hard for me to eat during the day so I would starve and then eat tons at night. I started having health problems, PCOS, Sleep Apnea, back pain at 27/28!!! I decided it was time for a change, so Gastric Bypass. presurgury I changed so many habits and lost 17 pounds. I feel great about my decision and think Im going to do great!!

Will try to keep this up to date.
