Hello, My name is Regina Castillo and I am a pre-op hopeful. I will graduate my Kaiser Classes on Oct. 29, 2007. I was 384 at my highest weight. I am now 353.7 after almost 5 months of required gastric bypass education classes. I need to loose about 10 more pounds before surgery, but I am shooting for 20 more pounds. I recently joined a local gym and do about 1 mile on the treadmill 3 times a week. That is a big accomplishment for me...especially since I can do it without taking a break. Before I lost weight, I could barely stand for 5min. - let alone walk for 25. Also, I am doing a few of the weight lifting machines just to try and gain some muscle.
I am 37 years young and will be 38 in December. I am unhappily married and am so unappreciated. I am the mother of 3 wonderful children who give me reason to keep on keeping on. I wish I could say "Life is good," but for now, all I can say is that ... 'Life is gonna get a lot better, and real soon!" My husband is no support at all, but that is why God gave me such good friends!
My " Things I can't wait to do list" includes horseback riding, rollercoaster riding, dancing, shopping, shopping, oh...and did I mention shopping? I can't wait to wear a swimsuit at the beach. I can't wait to go hiking. I can't wait to go to Disneyland. I can't wait to look hot! I can't wait to feel good about my body! I can't wait to see the new me!!!!!
