I know its been a minute and weight gain LMAO. Not too much but enough to have me worried. Anywoo, I've made my mind up to get things crackin. I recently had a EGD that returned normal. So, its time to increase protein, water and exercise. Your girl has been doing a lot of partying and just being...well I'm "reflecting" now. My granny passed away last week and I've been in a funk. She was bedridden for 2 years. So what is my excuse???? I can walk... I have control... WTH? There's no excuse why I can't do the things I need to;  to remain healthy.


Fast Foward, I've finished school, Liberal Arts, AA. Planning to apply to a nursing program. My son is a Senior (OMG) and my dtr is in the 3rd grade. I'm still partying but responsibly. Planning to do some fun things this summer. If you see me Out &About say hello. I'm cool like that :). I will post pics soon. Love u all.-------------------------------------------------------------T

Wow! It's been 3 years since I made the best decision of my life. I just returned from a 7 day cruise. During my time relaxing I thought about how 3 years ago I would have been miserable if I made this same trip. I wore shorts, tank tops, bathing suits, went ATV riding, rode a horse, and did a banana boat ride. Weight loss has allowed me to enjoy life more than I ever imagined.  I wish I had more to write but I just flew in last night and I'm still experiencing jet lag. I will post new pics soon.

Well...hello family. I know its been a minute since my last update. Your girl has been busy. I'm not on as often as I used to be...I know sad...I've become a lurker.

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 .

Please check out the Revlon Run/Walk For Women. http://www.revlonrunwalk.com. 

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

Hello fam time flies. I started a new job 1/14/08. Shorter drive, more money, less gas lol, more money...Seriously, being unemployed is no joke. I had to really focus on what was really bothering me and not use food to "feed" my emotions. It was hard. I managed to maintain my weight. I got laid off 5 days before Christmas. I went into the New Year jobless and broke. I've learned a valuable lesson...save your money. I'm so blessed to have a skill where I can get a job.... what's sad is there are a lot of people I know that was laid off who are still unemployed. I realized while I was at home for 3 weeks I am one check away from being homeless. Straight up! 

Our economy is F- up folks. Please vote Tuesday!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!! I've been partying since 12/1. My body needs rest now but only long enough to get stronger for 12/31. 

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 :)

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

It's been awhile since my last post- anywoo....I went to see my surgeon today....drumroll(((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))) all my labs came back normal. So, why in the hell did my hair fall out? He thinks its stress related. Thats it! LOL. Well I need to get some R&R :)

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.

Yes, I have all my clothes off lol. I slept butt naked last night...Oh My.

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,
T

Hey Fam! Well I gots me a job lol. More money and betta benefits. I'm too excited. I believe WLS has afforded me so many things. I was worried at first. I haven't been unemployed my whole nursing career. My last day at my previous employer was June 22. I'm truly blessed. Your girl was looking shitty sharp when going on these interviews. I was going to sale myself...no for real...hooka T ha-ha. Seriously, WLS does rock. If I walked in weighing 350lbs I'm sure I wouldn't have received the responses I got. Your girl is  living proof god is great and prayer does work. Thanks for the private emails, messages and texts. You guys are truly fam. Love ya lots.- T
