ok, hey guys yeah Im back...prayfully for good. I cut Facebook out, and decided to take less classes in school. I really put an extremely amount of pressure on myself, and basically let myself fall to the waste side.... I have basically maintained but I could have lost waaaayyy more weight. Thus far I came from 316 to currently 165. Which deserves a round of applause but I went from working out and running 4 to 5 days a week to noe and all, barley drinking my protien, half taking my vitamins....it si time to get back on track. I had to reflect...with mylife spiraling out of control, and really eliminate some of the deterants. Get back motivated.! I miss you guys!

hey guys its been so long, i feel guilty not writing or visiting the site. I have had alot of changes in my life. partially maybe because of the surgery, partially life in general...lol. I have noticed much more attention from men, and I love going and hanging out alot more. I finally am starting to feel like the real me is evolving. I feel like that me was hidden under all of that weight. We was buried. Now i feel like I want so much more out of life. The consequences are that the people around you are not used to that person buried evolving. So some days are more difficult than others. Since I go out more I have started to drink - just wine, 2 glasses, and i know its empty calories, so I will definitely have to cut back. I also started eating some fried food, like 2 to 3 buffalo wings, which even though its a small portion, I don't want to go back to eating fried foods. I also since slipped and ate puffed cheese doodles, I hadn't eating any type of potato chip since April this year. So I'm so I'm getting a bit disappointed. I'm scared that I might be one of those people who had the surgery and might gain the weight back. I'm feeling like going and hanging out is a downfall of mine. I slowed the pace down in working out within the past 6 weeks, but I plan on picking that back up asap. My goal is to start running. Since I had the stall, I was slightly discouraged, then started to notice, my clothes getting looser.I'm not going to worry about the numbers too much anymore but the sizes. I'm down to medium tops, and 16/18 pants. Can you believe it? It is so weird not shopping in plus for tops....

GOALS
attend more support group meetings
running
no more fried food
up protein daily
get under 200lbs by the new year.

Hey guys, it feels like I have not been loosing any weight.  For 3-4 weeks I have been the same weight, and cant understand why I have stalled? Its crazy...I work out at least 3 to 4 days a week. I drink at least now a full 80 grams of protien a day. I barely still eat. If i do its a salad, or chicken, but very little. I just like to eat grapes, reduced fat cheese, and I sneak and may eat 3 crackers. I drink basically water, sometimes Crystal light, but I still dont eat too much food, it just makes me sick. Ihad had on a few occasions baked fish, or steamed shrimp. Is it maybe because I dont eat much?
Advice needed! ASAP! When I mentioned to my sergeon, he told me to get a life! He said hes sure I lost inches. This could be true, I wear dresses alot (flowy) so I cant really tell. My hubby hid the scale....I became to obsessed....

Well Im approaching 8 weeks out and I feel so damn good! Im still a bi t shaky on what I shouldnt eat, but to be honest, i dont eat much for now. Im actually cool with that. I have found my protien that I love. EAS chocolate (powder form) Fudge (premixed). I can stand the taste and smell of it. So I have uped my protien tremendousley. I try and drink protien all day. I usually eat one meal a day, lunch, having a salad, possibly tuna on one slice of whole grain wheat bread, and i can never finish that. Or a small piece of fish, and a few veggies. I do very well on vitamins, Im so used to taking my diabetes and blood pressure medicine, its not a problem for me at all. I know I could have lost more if I had upde my protien in the beginning, but its all good. I like the way i naturally look like im losing. The coller bones isnt popping out yet (and I cant wait to see her...lmao), but I figure by Christmas it will be. I work out 3-4 days a week and would like to increase it to 5. It will take time. I joined Zumba and i LOVE IT. I have to get better at keeping up with the posting and pictures. Love you guys, keep up the good work! PROTIEN PROTIEN PROTIEN!!!!

hey ladies and gents! I feel good, and I look good. But Im still not getting in all this protien...lol. Im just trying to reprogram my way of thinking. Which alot I have. Like doing protien all day and really not being able to eat a damn thing, and be ok with that. Its still very hard, I still crave, but I stay away, its hard not to just taste, to get the fix off your mind. My main focus is right now, to get off as much weight as possible, increasing the protien, and keeping it moving. and not to forget water and vitamins!

Hey guys, how are you? Im doing much better far as feeling better. Im still having issues getting in my protien. I hate the pwders i have. Even the unflavored. ilk. I hate the shakes. My doctor said to me in my visit 2 weeks ago, people who dont do the protien are unsucessful. I think hes right. I havent lost alot of weight. I ve spoke to other people (patients at the supoort group and at the dr. office) everyone seems to have lost so much more than I have in a faster rate. even reading alot of people profiles. So I have to figure some way of what the NUT said "sneaking"  the protien in. Im eating alot of fish, chicken(breast only) and veggies with unsweetened allnatural applesauce. At this point Im not sure what the hell to eat...lol.  Really im not. I do eat Cream of wheat, somedays a scrambled egg, some day 1/4 cup of ceareal (multigrain cheerios). thats really it. I walk everyday now at least 2 miles a day 5 days a week sometimes 3 miles and the scale just isnt moving....

So now I gotta figure out what am i supposed to really eat once i can get back on a "real food"...  Like will i eat pizza, just a slice instead of 4, or 2 buffalo wings instead of 8??? this is rough....

Hey everyone!

I am doing much better than the last time I blogged. Im proud to say Day 15 13 lbs. down. Of coarse I wish it were more lbs. but hey, a loss is a loss! Im about on schedule. About a lb. a day. which is cool, Im sure in the next few days Ill drop and be right on schedule! I have been walking everyday. Today was so hot I felt sick and slept for 3 hours after the walk...lol. Thats another thing I noticed. I have to t ake a nap everyday. lol. When I go back to work im going to miss that. People have definately noticed the loss in my face, and shoulders (more upper body) and the tummy is going down...thank goodness. I noticed my hands, an d feet, and calves have shrunk. I can finally see veins in my feet (they were always swollen). BP has been excellent, sugar (gluclose) readings excellent. Im not even trying to take that medication EVER again. Im still having problems getting in that protien...praying on that. 

I ate 1/2 of a soft scarmbled egg today for breakfast... and for dinner had a few bites of pureed chicken breast off the grill, and fine chopped collard greens...I was so scared to eat but it was so damn yummy...I havent had food food in a month! I did feel the food sensation and I pushed my plate back and just stopped eating. That was amazing...

Love you guys for the continued support!




  

8 days post op...and its happening....what I was worried about. Im sad. Very sad, im in food mourning. Im not hungry,- Im trying for ce this damn protien down as I type. I miss food. I have been at my moms since I was discharged, because my husband was kinda of scared to take care of me. (i really didnt want him too) I have 3 sisters who still live at my moms, to its alot of tlc at moms house. So we (my family) decided I go there. Anyhoo, my mom cooks. She is a bonified cook! lol. We waking up to the smell of bacon, eggs, and pancakes for the first few days didnt both me at all. Or the smell of fried chicken for dinner on day 4, or speghetti and meatballs on day 5. Today, no smell of food, Saturday a fast food day, I felt sad. I felt like its Saturday, no cookout hotdogs, hambergers, nor fried fish, non of that. This damn shake. Dont get me wrong - Im really not hungry. Im sad I m not at the movies seeing Sex in the City, with a bag of buttered popcorn, or cheese nachos, with a diet coke...im sad.

Im sad because I still feel week. I dont feel strong enough to reall exercise? I went to the Dr. Thursday for a follow up and 1 - he wasnted up up this damn protien. I couldnt even get 20 grams in, he said he was going to tell me to get up to 100 this week. Im like man for real, i just got off the damn table I felt like i wanted to faint walking into your office...wtf??? So he said Im weak because not enough protien. Id have more energy, I can do alot and my mom is not letting me do stuff. The reality is, I feel like shit still. Im still weak, my insdes are still sore, and i still got this got damn gas. Sorry yall just venting, but I did manage to go out today, for about an hour withmy sisters, and they had to bring me home, I was sweaty and weak. My doc said I should be out side walking a half hour no stopping, I mean guys is it me. Im going to go home Monday, maybe I do need to get out of my moms house....how did you guys feel after????I hate people keep calling me and saying yeah I had a friend and she said after 3 days she was out shopping and was at the club blah blah blah....i turned my phone off.

feeling ok, need to pass this gas! stomach is girgling, but so far nothing..... I cant eat anything.....

made it in time to write tonight. Im feeling....hungry, empty, tired,weak... anxiouse  for this to be over with. Day 8 on liquid fast. Im hoping all the stuff I went out and brought at GNC today i can use. Worried about getting in all that protien daily. Worring about my hair. Thinking about as they wheel me into the room what ill say to my husband and mom...what if i dont make it? What if I do and not be sucessful. After I can eat again, will I go back to fried chickenand fish? i do miss it....I cant lie. I miss Taco Bell, I want to eat steak. I do not want to revolve my life around food. I want to be healthy, i want to have kids. I want them to be heathy and not sucuumb to childhood obesity. I dont want to be that busy mom and give my kids fast food.I want to learn to cook healthy. I want to be OBSESSED with the gym. I want to be nicknamed gym rat....I want to look so damn good....lol!!!! Praying my gas will be gone so i can make it to the movies to see Sex in the City  2.ok im tired check in tommorrow, and its my last day of work   and I think im drained....
