3 Months Out

May 22, 2011

Officially 3 months out and I'm on the fence. While I'm proud to have lost 44 lbs. since surgery, I know there is a lot more I could be doing to lose more. I work out 2 times a week, I really need to get in at least 3-4 times. I was also doing at one time last month tracking down my foods really good, but I've been so busy with finals and my daughter, that I've been eating out alot lately. I'm going shopping again today, I really got to get back into this. I set a goal for 15 lbs a month and I've only met it once. I want to be able to see my feet next Summer. I really gotta step it up and get back on it. 9 lbs a month is still good, but it doesn't feel so good when you have 100 to lose.

1 Month 3 weeks out...

Apr 11, 2011

So I jumped on the scale this morning and I was at 300.2....OMG I'm almost under 300 lbs. I haven't been under 300 since I had my daughter. I know I stil have a loooooonnnngggg way to go but right now I'm living in the moment. I'm not gonna lie and say I've done everything right, hell I've probably done everthing wrong but I'm trying to turn that around. I don't want to lose the weight only to gain it back so I'm makeing some life changes. I don't eat what I'm supposed to so from now on it's gilled fish, chicken, lean beef (sparingly), and turkey. I'm a single mother full time employee as well as full time school. I don't have alotta time to cook like I want to but if I want this to work for me I'm going to have to make time. So I'm going to look for some healthy low carb foods and THUG IT OUT....

1 month and 1 week OUT

Mar 28, 2011

Lost a total this morning of 24.2 lbs lost. I'm sooooo excited this is the most I've ever lost in this short amount of time. I hit a stall for 2 during week 2 and 3. I wasn't drinking my protein and water like I was supposed to. I also hadn't had a bowel movement for about a week. Soooo once I started back doing what I was supposed to I've been seeing between a lb to two lbs gone per day. This is very exciting and I can't wait to see how much weight loss I get during my 2 month mark.

6 days Post OP

Feb 28, 2011

So the surgery went well. I went into in thinking I would be in extreme pain but no.....when I awoke I walked and it was really painless. It did feel like I've done 1,000 cruntches but other then that no pain. A lot of gas kinda confused me didn't know if it was hunger or what but I can feel the difference between hunger and gas. Followed strictly my liquid diet and having a hard time finding out when I'm full. Drinking water and eating my protein shakes but other then that everything is going good. I tried yogurt with my protein and it this morning I feel really sore but so glad the drain gets removed tomorrow. Will let you know how much weight I've lost pretty soon but I'm afraid to weigh myself.

5 MORE DAYS

Feb 17, 2011

5 more days until the big day and I'm still getting things finalized. I have to make arrangements for my daughter, my grandmother, and my dog. Not to mention my house is a mess and I feel like I'm going 75 mph. This week without my daugter has helped in me getting a few things done but I can't lie, I rarely get to go out so I've been stepping out almost every day this week with friends. Well no more this tonight class and home only, I have got to get some cleaning done and make everything ready for when my grandmother comes. I also have to start my liquid diet soon....Owww Joy. I'm coming to terms I won't be able to eat a certain way for a while, so I've gone overboard with going out to eat. But the strange thing is I havent really had much of an appitite. BUMMER. Will keep you guys updated on my progress.

Eff You

Feb 13, 2011

I'm getting more and more nervous as the time gets closer. I've had a ton of support from outsiders "Obesity Help Members" and a few of my friends that have already had WLS. But I can't lie when one of my friends said why don't you just do it the natural way I wanted to slap the dog shit out of her. I've been trying it the natural way since high school. I'd lose just to gain it all back. I don't think in any shape or form will be easy nor have I ever said that. I know it's going to be hard work, I have alot of weight to lose. I'm getting this surgery because if I don't I will be 400 lbs by the time I am 30. I need this restriction, I need this tough love, I work out try to eat healthy but I live in this real world called life. I'm a single mother, full time student, and I work my butt off every Mon- Fri 7-4. I don't even get home till 11 and then its time to do it again. So excuse me I'm doing the best I can the only way I know how. Sorry guys for the venting but it's really been bothering me.

Nervous!!!!!!

Jan 24, 2011

Ok so my surgery is scheduled on the 22nd of Feb but I'm getting really nervous. Less than one month away and everything is running through my mind. My grandmother is coming down to help me as much as she can but shes a little bit older so I'm not sure how a 67, 22, and 3 year old is going to play out. Did I mention a dog too? This is going to be the start to what I believe isthe life God has for me. I'm ready to claim it, that and nursing school. 2011 is going to be my year I can feel it. I hope to update you guys before and after the process.....
