Happy New Year! I wish everyone a very happy and successful new year! I personally want to work on working out. I have been neglectful when it comes to taking care of my body by not getting in time to go to the gym but I truly want to make time this year!!!! wanna join me let me know :)

I am on a personal journey to find new friends with similar interests. This in itself is not always an easy task to accomplish. I had surgery now over two years ago and some have lost weight and kept it off then there are some that have lost and gained weight back. I am a person who so far if I gain weight, I tend to lose it within a couple of days I mostly believe this is because of having such a difficult time eating and getting anything to go down smoothly. I try and stick with proteins, vegies, fruits and some whole grains or nuts. I am also bad in the way that I love chocolate still , and I would love ice cream if it would work so unfortunately or is that fortunately I cannot eat it without having to lay down afterwords so not fun! I enjoy white wines or champange from time to time but again my tolerance is very low to most everything whether it be chocolate, alcohol, ice cream so I guess I should consider myself lucky right? But ive said it before and Im sure Ill say it again, eating really sucks!! I hate eating most of the time and I really hate cooking so that makes it difficult on family but I still love the food network so go figure! lol well if you want to meet for coffee or lunch sometime let me know or if you have any questions or just wanna talk , hit me up!

How is everyone doing? and where are all of you hiding? Anyone ever get together here in cencal?  I am doing good holding steady at the same weight ive been for awhile now 144lb and protein, calcium, and iron are low guess ive not done the best but i did find this place in Modesto called Smoothie King that sells liquid vitamins and makes awesome protein smoothies yummy wanna go for one? well shoot me a line and let me know where you are at! best of luck to all!

Hi everyone its been forever and I appologize BUT life has been nothing short of CRAZY!!!!! I graduated May 19th with my MS and im off and running toward the real world now lol yea right! I have stayed at the same weight now for months and months on end. I am considering some plastic surgery but have yet to have any consultations. I am always open to suggestions, stories and ideas! Im looking forward to getting into more of a routine as far as exercise goes. I pretty much eat whatever I want but it is very limited and I would say that was beneficial. I am good with proteins, vegies and fruits and that is about it. Any type of breads, pastas, rice and such is very hard on the tummy and so I stay away from that. I also tend to stay away from milk which yes includes icecream not very friendly on the tummy but ok I think thats a blessing in disguise if you ask me.....oh yea and if i get too much sugar somehow I definately know it. Also depending on what i eat I may have to lay down and let the food pass........not always fun but I have to say it has all been worth it, It has changed my life forever and for the positive! i would love to hear from others who want to share their ideas, stories and thoughts! oH now im off to Mexico for a cruise !

Ok I know I am not the only one who has these thoughts? or am i? Ok I absolutely love my new body (in clothes) but Ive never been this size during summer nor have I had to contend with the way my body looks while in a swim suit or shorts..........I know I should be more than happy with my overall better health and wellbeing but a part of me wishes for more.......to be comfortable while wearing shorts or a swim suit.....no I do not have to be a swimsuit model or be perfect nor would I expect that I just want to be comfortable (pardon the pun) in my own skin.....which there is extra of BUT OMG when I saw the plastic surgery where they cut the person all the way around to do a body lift im like ok I would consider myself CraZY to want someone to cut me in half litterally just so I can look good in a swim suit......hEY im not perfect now nor would i consider myself better by having that surgery.....so where do I find the strength to be happy and content in my Own Skin?  This is a journey where only I will be able to come up with my own answers but I wonder if these thoughts have ever crossed anyone elses mind?

I thought I would try and blog a bit since my entire profile was deleted when we switched to this format which I must add was very discouraging lol 
I am steadily around 145lbs which I feel is good for the time being for me although my doctor wanted me to be closer to 160....ummmm sorry doc but I think this weight will do for me til i can build some muscle back that I lost. 
I am very happy most of the time with my surgery but lately have had many times when my stomach hurts or I have pains in my side- already had out my gallbladder.-----not sure what the pain is from and it can be very discouraging when in any one given day i would be doing to eat one cup total of food.....hard to imagine but true.....im a year and two months now so I thought my stomach would be able to tolerate more food than it does. I try and stick to proteins, vegies and some carbs although not that much. My favorite meal would consist of a little bit of meat (protein) and vegies or a salad of some type. I am trying this year to be more committed to drinking my water , take vitamins and a regular exercise routine. I faithfully go to the chiropractor and now I am in a routine of getting a wonderful all over body massage to help rid the toxins from my body............hmmmm well this is a small start to a very large profile that I once had lol gotta start somewhere and would love to hear from anyone or others who had surgery in my area or from Dr. Coates :)
