I know it been a minute but will update my post this week... had my up and downs but now I am at 235....

 I would like to wish you and your family a Happy New Year with many many Blessings.

ON Sunday Jan 6, 2008 I decide to check out and join Bally's Fitness.  As I walked in I was bum rush with many deals except the one that they offer online $19.00 for a trail month.  But was advised that that the program was cancel 10 days prior.  SO I ended up getting a $49.00 a month to month membership.  

On Monday I get a fone call from the gym from a presonal trainer and was ask when I was coming in (a stardard call I take it) and I advised that I will be in at 12:00 noon... I get there and the personal trainer show me around and advised me that we will start working out on wednesday at 12;00 noon and I was susposed to get measured to see my accomplishment over time.  I advised him that I wanted to work out today and he put me on a bike for 20 minutes. I did the twenty minutes and left...I FELT LIKE SHIT WASTED TIME ..  The twenty was kewl but I was still motivated to work out but did not now what to do...

On Wednesday I do go to the gym at 12:00 noon (on time 5 minutes early).  READY AND MOTIVATED.  I am then advised that I need to come in 20 minutes early to ride the bike then we can get a full work out session (hell why he did not say that in the first placed). I did get a nice work out for a good 45 minutes (I ended up getting a little dizzy so I slow down but got another 15 minutes).  AFter I rested now this physical trainer is now hitting me up for more money .  WTF.   I though this was part of membership but I guess not.  as well he did stated that I was suppose to get measure and but did not.  He want me to come back friday.

I am lose and confused about the gym but I guess I am about to make many trail and errors to learn what I should do and dont do at the gym.  So any advise I am open to it.  

I will be back at the gym on friday but will be online today to find out what what exercise to do

well it the four week out since my operation and still doing good... I been haviing a few problems of eating chili - from coney Island with no beans.  I threw up one time and the other two times it sat heavy cause pain in my esophugus area until I releive it by sitting on the toilet...  please not two time I ate the chilli earlier with no problem and when I went back the problem occur....

Also I am back to work and having no problem but trying to eat 4 to 5 times a day... I have a regular 8 hours shift that rotates from days to night at any given time along with overtime unpredictable... As well i work on the street so it hard to heat up any food...

so pass all that I am doing gud, feeling gud and looking gud with no complaints

well it the third week since my surgery and man it been fun...  I cant beleive being off work so long can make a person feel refresh...  I cant wait to go back on Monday so people can see that I am losing weight... (please note I didnt inform anyone at wok about my surgery)...  Man its going to be nice to see peple slow down on fat joes like the one I heard a day ago when I went for my check... he off work cause he having a baby....


anyway... I went to the docor today and I found out that I lose 25 lbs to date.... I also found out that I can not do any stomach exercise until the new year... I did my lab work and wont found out the result for a few days... 

Well it been 13 days since my operation... so here how the journey been...

on Friday 16 Nov 07 I went to for my surgery 

I went in and saw the Dr. and the tech before the surgery. I did not remember when I finally fell asleep but it was after my joke "which nurse was going to move a 300+ man" then hospital pastor prayed with me and off to sleep I went...  When I woke up I remember I was in my room hook up on ivs and me being introduce to the POWER OF MORPHINE...    Don’t remember being in too much pain....

The next day i was moving around and also sat in my chair for 5 to 6 hours...  Later that night I got a temp and high blood pressure so they took me down to x-rays to run test and placed me back to bed... woke up in a better mood and then I was discharge that Sunday afternoon... 

The first three days out of the hospital I sleep most the day away… eating 5 to 6 times a day… very small amounts…  

Now this week is my 2^nd week since the surgery and I been moving around a lot but at a price… a nap at 3:00 pm and in bed by 10:00 pm.  But up every morning at 7:30… 

I have been walking my dog around the blocks and using my stairs to walk up and down…. Been tired but still moving forward….

well I am off to my surgery... it 5:30 in the morning and need to be there by 6 am... Man I am really not that nerveous... No butterflies or nothing... I wonder will it happen as soon as I see the sugery team..  

My dad is taking me but my mother will be there when she get off work... So I willl post again when I get out of the hospital in a few days....

God Bless...

I am Rodney and this shall be my last time walking this earth at 340.2 lbs....

Well the Sunday before the big operation date, I final told my paarents, brother and sister of the operation on 11/16/07 in full detail of all the good and bad of the operation.   Man, there was a lot of mix emotions but I think I got their support.   

My mother is for it as well as my sister but my INDENTICAL TWIN Brother did not seem to fair.  We are both big and I got him beat by just a few pounds.  We wont be indentical twins after the operation and I think that will be a major problems with both of us.  

Looking alike was and is a very special think cause  you can always see what ur life would have been if you made different decisiion.  I think this will be the biggest problem I will face.

BTW (By The Way) my father is not not an emotional person but he is a supporter of his family members

Hello all and my name is Rodney.  

Man, I weighing in at 340.2 lbs with BMI 47 within one week of my surgery and I am nervous as hell...  Believe it or note, I was and is comfortable with my weight but after reading many profiles here on this website I must have been delusional.

I never confess to myself:
       => that I hate taking pictures ‘cause I took up most of the picture or if it a group picture i stand in the back so I can cover my size. 
       => that I have not bought clothes over a year and a half cause I hate to shopping in the big and tall section of the store or have to buy no name brands cause they don’t make my size.
        =>that i hate it when I am at work and some one always asking me what we eating today or it is time to eat cause Rodney is hungry.
        =>that I hate the first name calling is fat mutha fucker or fat bitch.  Shit, I am a black man with bald head and glasses but the weight stick out the most.
         =>I hate it when I try to date the line I hear is "Look at me what the hell is I going to do in bed with a person like you with all that weight"
         =>I hate it when I go to someone house to eat my plate is stack two to three times more than others and NOW I FEEL OBILAGATED to eat it all.
          =>I hate it when i have to pay extreme more in life insurance ‘cause i am overweight and have a more likely chance to die when I know people less weight and younger dying faster then me.

I can go on and believe I am hoping a new change with surgery.   All that I have miss out on will have a different look.
