It has been a good while............

Aug 06, 2008

Well, it has been about over a year and a half since my gastric bypass!!!  I am below the weight that I have set out to accomplish.  But, then about 5 months ago............ I had another major surgery of getting all of my teeth removed due to pain and other issues.  Well, I had it done......... But, I do have to say it has been harder for me with the dental surgery vs. the RNY.  There is just more out there for you to see, learn, and check-out,!!!  But, to have all of your teeth removed and have dentures and 32!!!  That is just a TOTALLY shock I was not mentally ready for!!!

But, I had to learn to eat/talk all over again.  I won't  change it for the WORLD!!!  But, I do wish there was more to learn and understand what i was fixien to get in to with dentures at my young age!! 

At this moment I am not were I think I need to be both mentally and physically..... I am still below my goal weight.  But, I am not taking care of myself with regards to meds/vitiams.  So, I am working on that now.  But, boy.................. It has been so hard!!!

Well, this is my blog..................I am a single mother of 2 boys and I am just doing what I can for myself to be healthy and to my family afloat!!!

Let's just see what the future has to hold....................

I am now 6 weeks out from my major dental surgery!!!!  It has been really hard to learn how to talk and eat all over again.  It is a big challenge.  But, i wouldn't change it for the WORLD!!!  I love my new SMILE!!! I feel much happier about my WEIGHT and my SMILE!!!  I have also hit the 32 yrs mark on my age.........OUCH!!!

I am now down to 145 lbs.  I am below my goal weight that I set for myself of 150 lbs.  I am so very happy now!!!!  My next step to to hopefully get the dental inplants in for my bottom teeth then to see about plastic surgery!!!  I hate my "BAT WINGS"!!!  Also all of the other extra skin I have.  But, I know that in time I will be able to meet all of my goals and as long as I keep my mind in a postive mode and move forward for me and my boys.  I will be able to reach the rest of my goals for my heath. Of, course there are other goals out there that I would love to met............ Maybe find a man that is willing to be there for me and help me provide a good home for my boys and is willing to accept me for who I am!!!

I am so very happy with all of the ALL that I have been able to accomplish as a single mother!!!!  The future is WIDE and OPEN for ME!!!!


I have done it again.............

Mar 15, 2008

I had another major surgery about a week ago........I had all of my remaining teeth pulled and I have got dentures!!  I am very happy with my dentures and my smile.  But, I am still in the learning phase and I am back to the WLS surgery diet of liquids/very soft foods.  So, I am losing more weight.  Even thought I am happy were I am at now.  I am down to 145 lbs from 286 lbs.  So, I am happy.  But, since I can't eat much right now.  I am starting to lose more again.  I just don't want to get to "SKINNY"  if that is possiable.  I know that if I was to have plastic surgery.  I would probally lose about 10 to 15 lbs due to the extra skin.  But, my main goal is just to be heathly.

So, to say the least I am very happy about my new SMILE..  It has been a long and hard road!!!  I am ready to move on to my next phase in LIFE!!!!!


It has been a YEAR!!!

Dec 14, 2007

I am now at my year mark!!!!  I am down to 148 lbs.  I have lost about 138 lbs over the las year!!!  I am just so happy.  Today I was able to fit into a size 10 pair of PANTS!!!  I don't think I ever have been able to fit into a size 10 pants!!!  

It is just amazing what this surgery has done for me.  It has really change my life.  I have more engery, I am happier,  I feel good, and my boys love my new LOOK!!!!

I wouldn't change it for the world!!!  Having the Gastric Bypass has been the best decision I have ever made to improve my health for me and my boys!!!

I still have a lot of goals to work on.................But, I am getting there!!!  At least I am getting there with my SKINNY self now....LoL...........LOL.............LOL

Well, I have made it and I am So VERY HAPPY!!!  This has been the best thing I could have done for myself!!!  I hope that everyone is able to have the gastric bypass if they need it to improve there quality of life!!!!

OH Conferece...............San Antionio, TX Sept. 2007

Sep 16, 2007

Hi there................

It was a blast this weekend and the the OH San Antionio Conference.  It so much fun.  I got to talk others that were post-op and then I was able to here the stories from Jackie Guerra and Ramon Lopez. They are such an insperaction on this journey!!!  The  loved the Qustion and Answer session we had on Sunday.  It was so nice to hear how others felt and to be able to hear the feedback.  It was just so nice.  The hotel was beautiful and the food was out of this World!!!  The Sugar Free Cheese Cake was to die for on Saturday.  I only wish we were able to enjoy it on Sunday too.  

The free samples of PROTEIN items was wonderul!!  I loved It!!!  I was nice to be able try something that you hear about before going to pay full price for.  

What was the best for me was to spend time with my friend Dawn!!!  She is such a wonderful person!!!  Is was on nice to be able to hang out with someone that is able to understand were you are coming from.  Plus she was able to show me some other items to have to help with Protein intake.    Thank you DAWN!!! 

I would recommend to anyone to go to the conference.  I wasn't going to go due to the fincial aspect.  I am a single mother of 2 boys!!!  But, when I got the email telling me I got free tickets. I jumped on board and took Dawn and then another friend that is wanting to have the surgey to changer her life.  I just hope that she is able to make the choice to help her health so she is happier for herself.

Again............Go to the OH conference...............I it just a lot of fun and you learn a lot..............Plus you get to meet really good people!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been a long time...............

Hello there.........

It has been a long time since I have added to by profile.  I have added new pics for everyone to see.  I am now 8 months post-op.  I feel GREAT!!!  I am so happy that I went forward and had the surgery.  I have more engery and I feel so much better about myself.  It is hard to see the weight gone.  It is a wonderful feeling to say, "I fit into a size 12!!!"  That a big thing since I was a size 28!!!

I am looking forward to contuining to see my weight drop.  I love to do the water arobics at the YMCA.  That is a lot of fun and easy to do.  The hardest part is getting up and going....  I went from 186 lbs and as of today I am 160 lbs!!!  Yeah for me!!!!

Well, I am looking forward to going to the conference in San Antonio this coming weekend. It is going to be great to meet new people and also to visit my friend. It is so hard for us to meet since we live so far away.  But, I am really excited!!!

Time to sign off.....................Until next time..............
