It's Hard.....
May 04, 2008
I just wanted to say I struggle with my weight everyday. Everyday I have to decide will or should I do the right thing. I thought it would become easier with time but for me its become harder. I'm gaining and losing the same 5-10lbs. I'll be out 3 years. I think I'm doing pretty damn good because I can eat. But, I know protein, water and vitamins are essential. My family and friends will tell you that about me. I just need to incorporate exercise back into my life. To jump start my exercise....................................
On Saturday, May 10th, I will be participating in the 15th Annual Entertainment Industry Foundation Revlon Run/Walk For Women. You can join me in the fight against women's cancers by making a donation on my behalf https://www.revlonrunwalk.com/la/secure/MyWebPage.cfm?pID=461703 .

Sorry short and sweet. I will do my best to post more. It means alot to me when I get messages about how my profile inspired someone.
I'll be in touch

I received a call from my Endocrinologist- no endocrine diseases thank goodness for that. But, I am low in Vit D and Ferritin. I have to take a weekly Vit D supplement- prescription only. You sometimes forget our bodies do not absorb the needed "stuff" LOL. More vitamins for me or a change in my current regimen is needed. Its so important to have your labs done. I had my labs done in 10/07- came back fine but I still wasn't feeling well. My PCP made a referral to the endocrinologist who ran her own tests. Well now I know why I feel like sh** sometimes; it can now be corrected. I will keep you posted :)
Love ya
BTW check out my birthday pics :)

2 years and Loving It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Short and sweet! 11/16/05 I had gastric bypass...almost sounds like I'm at a support group. Anywoo, I just wanted to stop by and share my morning joy with my extended family. I have gained a lot of knowledge from this site and have made life long friends.
I hope today is peaceful for you because it will be for me :). I woke up this morning in good spirits. I'm showered, dressed and looking fine LMAO. Seriously, these 2 years have been a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw my surgeon last week; he told me several times he was proud of me. He's da man! He saved my life twice.
The decision to have RNY was not a easy one. So, Pre Ops do your research! I feel like I'm not missing out on anything. What I can eat and do may be different than some or who knows most lol. I know whats important- water, protein, vitamins and exercise. Do I do all these things faithfully? NO! But, I know if I don't I can't complain later.
2 years later I've maintained my weight, lost my hair lol, I rock the baddest outfits, try foods I would have never tried before, I've traveled places I would have never gone due to my weight, I've met great ppl- all because two years ago I made the best decision of my life. I'm a better person because of it. I know I said short and sweet...... I hope to see most of you before the New Year. This girl loves to party!
Thank you for your time,
Teresa

I've maintained my weight; for that he is proud of me. He told me so several times during our visit. He also told me he's not worried about my "normal" eating. I told him I think I've stretched my pouch lol. He responded maybe, but I'm not concerned with you. Everyone's body is different. If I would have come in with a weight gain he would be concerned. He wants me to start my exercise regimen again- not to lose weight but to protect my muscles and bones. He again said he's happy where I am at :). I love this man.
What is normal eating????????? Well its what everyone is suppose to be eating but we have the Large and Super Size portions like at the CheeseCake Factory and ClamsJumper. I eat normally.................... I told him my typically choices good/bad- he said I'm doing great. He said I gave you a tool- you have to make choices everyday- you know the do and the don'ts. My labs show I'm doing what I'm suppose to do :)
What stress is he referring to?
Well I lost my job after 4 1/2 yrs, 6 mins away from my home, 6am-2:30pm M-F, Bonuses, and cool ass co-workers -my exended family. I did alot of growing up there.......................................it feels like a divorce.
The new chapter of my life-
New job, new co-workers, longer commute, way more money..still M-F, 8-5pm.................................................more work lol but I enjoy it. Oh...can't forget FOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD is everywhere :(
I will be 2 yrs post op this month...time flies....I hope to party next weekend----care to join me? Hit me up :)
Going back to bed. Peace...2:22am.
Its Getting Hot in Here....
Sep 03, 2007
I was miserably. I woke up this morning in tears it was so hot...my lips hurt and my back. I thought I drank enough water....I guess not. I guess one positive thing is I'm not 356lbs while its 100 degrees. I guess I need to shut up....
Anywoo...I'm trying to focus on my protein. I've been losing and gaining the same 5lbs for months. I'm below my surgeons goal but I want to lose 10lbs. Not too much. I never got this surgery to be skinny just be healthy. I think thats why I haven't gotten frustrated.
I'm sweating....
School is starting this week yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Kids go back to 8pm shut eye lol. I don't play. I will start studying my nursing courses...I know finaly. I will have to get serious. I've been at my job going on 2 months, the drive is still sh** but the pros out weigh the cons.
Anywoo, I have sweat running down my neck...NASTY.
Check out my new pics...yes I'm wearing baby phat jeans :)
I love you all. Peace.

Let me see.... since I last posted...I was laid off from work, started a new job 7/9, went to New Orleans for the Essence Festival, threw our annual family BBQ( thx Helen, Sylvia, Anna, Gus, Regina, Mr Ari, and Ris for supporting my fam). Oh and went to Vegas. Busy July.
I'm maintaining my weight 199 +/- 5 lbs..back and forth..drives my a** crazy sometimes. I can still eat like....the doctor didn't rearrange some sh**. I've noticed I'm starting to really pay attention to when I'm eating and why...
I still trip off my reflection in the mirror, my mind hasn't caught up with my body.
I've stop shopping like I used too. I've allowed my shoes and purses to take over my room ha-ha. My hubby is not happy:( I stopped going out like I used too...not as fun anymore.
Lastly, my son broke his arm- 2 bones...wake up call...this is life. Okay its late..I'm sleepy. I have to drive 30 min-1hr M-F. It's getting easier.
I have to go get me some protein shakes. I eat two boiled eggs every morning...so good :). Oh I almost forgot...why am I starting to get menstrual cramps.... damn it!
Love,
