I've been walking everyday, taking my vitamins, drinking more fluids, cutting back on portions, and really focusing on protein! Oh yeah, and became Gluten-Free since white/wheat flour makes me all gassy/bloated and have bad diarreha. I never used to care, but now all the sudden I do. I needed a change in life, and this was it right now. I feel so great about what I'm doing and how I'm feeling! And... great news! I lost my insurance March 1st and now my husband can cover me on his insurance! Long story, but I'm so so soo happy! 

Ryan was born December 27, 2011...

.....
and I now it's time to lose some weight! About 2 weeks or so ago I've been walking/jogging everyday, cutting WAY back on my portions, eating a lot of salads, and I'm not even losing weight. What gives?! I guess I need more protein to burn so I can lose some weight? I don't know, but I keep weighing myself and it's always stuck at 172 now. BOOOOOOOOOO. I don't accept this at all. But today I was so discourage about my weight that I ate bad things, and now I feel even worse about myself! bLaH! Normally I would just give all together, but oh no... not this time! Tomorrow is a new day and I'm back on track! I will beat the number that is 172... oh yes... I WILL beat the number...

Jeeeeeez loueeeez... apparently I haven't posted in like, a year?! Gosh... where does this time go?!

*UPDATES*
Katie will be 3 in Feb 2012
Jennelle will be 2 in June 2012
Ryan will be born via (repeat) c-section December 27, 2011!

Yep! Kiddo #3 will be here in about 2 days now. I feel like a friggen COW and HAVE to lose weight after this kid is out. And YES I will be getting my tubes tied. 3 kids is enough, and my body can't handle another pregnancy. I need to focus on myself for a while. Before I found out I was preggo with #3 I was losing weight and feeling fantastic! I think I got down to 158 and couldn't have been more proud of myself! I just weighed myself at the doctor and am now 190 again. Needless to say I fReAkEd! I mean, I know I'm 9 month pregnant and women gain weight, but come oooooooon! With my first pregnancy I didnt gain anything (I had hypermesis). Then with baby #2 I "gained" about 5 pounds, and after she was out then so was the weight. I just can't believe how much I've gained. It's really emotional for me because of the fact that I use to weigh 328 (pre-op) and now I feel HUGE again and don't like this feeling at ALL. I'm really hoping once Ryan is out I drop atLEAST hope to be back in the 170's (if anything)! I need to focus on eating right/healthy again and taking logts of walks! I can't wait! I need to set some goals again so I can acheive them one-by-one. I just took a pic of myself trying to fit into my size 9 jeans and OMG, what a joke! I am so swollen from water retention and such, these jeans won't even go up past my thighs. It's so pathetic. I'm so ashamed. And again, I know I'm 9 months pregnant and should expect this (like any normal woman) but I just can't get over it. It didn't happen with my first 2 pregnancies so I was NOT expecting this. I'm so depressed about myself. :/
Anyways, I came on OH.com to get some support and see what other post-op DSers are eating to lose weight. I have to jump back on the band-wagon and atLEAST get back down to the 160's. My weight has been really stable around 165-168 and that's where I want to be to feel good about myself again.  
Instead of "saying" I'm going to come back and update all the time (and then forgetting for a year at a time) I'm going to write myself a note and stick it on my desk just saying something like " OH.COM :) " just so I don't forget to get back into this website. I miss it! I really need some inspiration. This is ridiculous.

I did it yet again... didn't come on here for months! Turns out our "boy" was 100% GIRL!
Jennelle will be 8 months old in a week, and that's why my title of this post is "my my... how time flies...".
Katie (the pic below) will be 2 on Feb 22. This is ridiculous... I always leave OH.com with the promise to come and update all the time, and it never happens. Anyways, I now have insurance again so I'm going to continue with pursuing my plastic surgery journey. I'm so excited!

Yes it's true! I am VERY proud to announce we are having a BOY! His name will be Ryan Edward and I will be having a c-section the 1st week of July since I my daughter was 8 days early and I had to have an emergency c-section to get her out a.s.a.p.! (Her heart rate went down everytime I had a contraction... long story). Anyways, I am thrilled!

Ridiculous! I never think about OH.com anymore! BUT here's my yearly update... lol! Ok, so Katie Joanne was born Feb. 22, 2009 (I can't believe I haven't posted since then...) and now she's almost 11 months old! AND i'm preggo again!!!! Almost 15 weeks along! Tomorrow is my gender scan and i'm praaaaying for a boy! I hope I don't take another year to update you all and let you know what it is!  lol! Anyways, i'm here to go on the pregnancy forum as suggested by a friend so here I go! Just thought i'd update first...

Ok, so I did it yet aGaIn! I haven't logged in in foreeeeeeeeeever and now its Dec 31, 2008! Midnight is in 2 1/2 hours and i'm SUPER DUPER excited about 2009! Want to know why? It's because i'm finally pregnant!!!! I think the blog underneath this one says i'm still not preggo, but right now i'm almost 8 months along (officially 8 months this Sunday!)!!! So YAY for meeeee! Well, except for my 24/7 nausea the ENTIRE pregnancy . I'm finally at the point of just wanting her out of me! (Yes, I said HER !!!!!) Her name is Katie (and her middle name is Joanne because that's my mommy's middle name!) and she's due March 2, 2009!!! THAT's why I am just SO excited it's finally atleast the New Year! I still have a month or 2 to go, but it's so0o0o close now! I just want to see her and hold her and kiss her and love her!!! Look how precious she is!!



Gosh.... I am so in love! Look at that little itty bitty fAce!!!!! AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! It's kinda blurry (duh... she's in an amniotic fluid sac...) but still... what a cutie patutie!!!!
As for mommy, here's my latest baby bump pic taken  less than a week ago!



Oo0o0o0oh how I love being preggo (not the sickness though, but the expirience!), but I think my baby bump is SO cute!!! Probably because i've been wanting to be a mommy since the beginning of time (  ) and it's finally happening! The more time that went by after losing my weight (over 150 pounds) the more regular my periods became (meaning I then finally began to ovulate like a real girl!) It still took a loooong time for my body to regulate and such! Like my WLS was November 5, 2004, and I conceived Katie June 2008! It's been yeeeears of dissapointments and let-downs, but now i'm on TOP of the world and couldn't be happier!!!!

November 5, 2007 was my 3rd Re-Birth Birthday and I could NOT be happier!!! Life is phenomenal! I don't know if I told you, but on my birthday (August 30) I got married to the love of my life Austin! We're So happy being with eachother! We're eachothers worlds! <3 I'm stiiiill not pregnant though. I have an entire fertility journal from the beginning of 2006 (documenting Periods/Symptoms/Dates of Dr.+Ob/Gyn appt.'s/every sexcapade, eeeeverything!) Anyways, I went through it and figured out I am now on cycle 20 of trying to conceive, and stiiiiiiill nothing. Yeah, being big my entire life completly affected my hormones and fertility. (Ofcourse) I'm trying to get a job with health insurance that includes treatments for infertility but its hard! When I was on Clomid for 5 months (That started December 2006) I paid everything out of pocket since my insurance right now doesnt cover ANY of it. Anyways, other than that stuff, i'm LOVING life!

Well everyone....You know how conceiving takes forever anyways....seems like its taking forever and a day for US to. UUHHGG....bUt, I should be ovulating today (or within a couple days) so HOPEFULLY this is my lucky cycle #3!!! WISH US LUUUCK! =D
