Family Gatheringz

May 06, 2007

Okay so today im saying goodbye to 45LBS and hello to family gatherings OMG this was a tuff weekend my parents had fight night at the house and there was so much freaking food and so many people eating so many helpings of it..it was the first real family gathering that i've attended since my surgery and it was hard...i missed my fam so much and love when we're together but everyone eats constantly and sometimes i feel like this weird outsider with my 1 chicken wing and cup of ice....my fam is sooo freaking supportive but it's just hard watching everyone socialize around the big table with plates piled high and for some crazy reason which prolly isn't even reality i feel like i'm different then the rest of my family.... so i snacked on some sunflower seeds and after about an hour i was talking loud laughing and cracking on my uncles like everyone else..i was so scared for this day to come because i thought everyone would be looking at me or commenting on my weight loss (which they did) but after about 15 min. they were on to the next thing and life was back to normal... at times i felt kinda left out because food was and is always going to be the way we get together and show each other love and there is not one thing wrong with that i just cant eat as much as everyone else which is a blessing and not a bad thing...i'm so happy with the results of this surgery and pretty soon i'll be flying past my goal...only 19 more pounds to go.....yayyyy only 4 days until i leave for JAMAICA>> beautiful beaches and relaxation here i come.

Okay i had to add this!!!

OMG i haven't seen my OH FAM in sooo long...i'm doing well as far as my Weight Loss journey... i'm waving good bye to 39LBS for good and i can fit into clothes that have been in a crate under my bed for over a year so i'm happy with my personal journey. Life has been sooooo streesssffuulll!! lol i'm going through alot with my family and my boyfriend but that hasn't made this harder it's made me more dead set on getting this weight off and being a better healthier person...i've started to get my but up and work out and you can't even understand (okay okay you all understand) it feels so darn good to be able to walk almost 2 miles burn almost 400 of the 600 calories i'm eating and not feel like someone hit me in the chest with a hammer or that i'm about to die...i'm now 25 as of march 24th and for the first time in 4 years i went to the beach, sea world, and the zoo i walked all day day after day and never got tired or thought about food and was ready for the next adventure....for my big 25th my parent got me a trip to JAMAICA woooo and i'm going to enjoy myself and i can fit on the plan without a seatbelt extender...i'll probably still be jammed a lil but the seatbelt will fit and this weekend i'm going shopping with my friends for a swimsuit lol omg life is good and getting better every single day that i wake up with my new tool i love this surgery and i wouldn't change my choice for a bucket of money.( one dollar bills)....okay this was sooo long but i missed my bloggy blog.! love and peace 4 real!!!

3 Weeks Post Op

Mar 18, 2007

Well i'm 3 weeks post op and I think i'm doing pretty good i've lost 30LBS but i've been at a stand still for about a week which i'm okay with because my focus is on my daily plan which is Vitz, Protein, and puree lol sounds funny but after drinking my meals for 3 weeks puree sounds like heaven...i think i'll be feeling more like a normal 24YO once i can eat normal food in 3 more weeks...so thats 2 weeks of puree and 1 week of soft food...My birthday is saturday and my mother is making lobster and shrimp soup for me because cake is so last year lol.....yeah i'm silly i know....I can fit 3 pairs of pants that haven't fit in 6 months and thats what i think about when fried food is calling my name to just have a lil taste...this mental journey for me has been harder than the other stuff because i'm such a social and emotional eater along with most of my friends and everyone in my family so sometimes i just keep a cool distance until i can get my thoughts back on track...i'm learning willpower and self control 2 things i never had before....

11 days after surgery and doing good

Mar 09, 2007

Well i'm home and well...i was in the hospital for 6 long days i had severe swelling and was made to take about 30 x-rays...now i'm home fighting head hunger and waiting for the day that i can puree some red beans lol...this is hard i wouldn't lie to anyone and say it's easy for me...however, i'm not hungry at all which is great and i've been getting my water in...i havent been getting my protein because it taste a hot mess but i'm trying okay not trying hard but starting tomorrow morning imma try my best....i have lost a whopping 25LBS in 11 days so hey can't beat the tool....i'm looking foward to a medicine free life in smaller clothing and can't wait until these clothes start falling the hell off so i can shop for more than purses and sun glasses (when i made the choice to have surgery in june 06 i also made the choice not to buy any clothes or shoes until my old ones no longer fit) okay i purchased some crocs but thats about it.....im trying to only weigh myself once a week but thats hard because i want to see progress so bad...one day my daddy fried some fish and fries and fruit salad and i was like lawd why the hell did i have this surgery...also my birthday is comming up on March 24th and i was kinda wishing i had waited because my vanilla buttercream cake with chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate mosse just wont be the same in my dreams.....

just 6 lil days until surgery

Feb 20, 2007

okay so i'm sitting here at my computer and i'm thinking about how hard it will be to say farewell to my old friends ice cream, fried fish, and chocolate....but then i started thinking about the new friends i may meet such as non-plus sized clothing, smaller shoes, and what could those be? dimples? colar bones? wooo whoo yeah okay yall so i'm excited and terrified all in one which is a weird emotion tha ti'm not used to quite yet but i'm working on it..... i'm doing my pre-op liquid diet and it's just the start to a new journey that i'm oh so ready to embark on....i went to my pre-op appt yesterday and even tho the doc says i have a lil fluid on my lungs and a slight cold everythings a go...he gave me some meds to knock the cold outta me and im getting ready for surgery by cleaning the house and shopping for everything i'll need post op i also put a few video's audiobooks and a movie on my ipod in case i need some top notch entertainment while i'm in the hospital...one thing that i've found a lil disturbing is the way my so called friends are treating me some of them aren't being supportive and making nasty comments so it looks like i'll be friend shopping when im clothes shopping because honey 2007 will be a positive change all the way around and who ever wants to miss the positive kylah train will be left in my pixie dust i'm making a new wellness life for the better hollar is you feel me....until my next set of thoughts wishing everyone peace, love, wellness, and wealth!!
