32 lbs from my goal weight and boy do I feel like good!

Feb 16, 2012

Hello my Obesity Help Family,

It has been a while since I have posted but I have had some difficulty logging into my account. (lol)  I celebrated my one year surgeryversary on Dec. 26, 2011 and I am happy to say that on that day I was 107lbs lighter! WOO HOO! I feel great, I look great, and there is no turning back for me! I am enjoying this new jouney. I use to hate the shop now I love to go into the store and slide on those size 12 jeans especially when I went into surgery wearing a 22/24.

I am still 32 lbs from my goal weight which is 160lbs but I am working hard everyday to get there. I went from a 297lb woman who woke in the morning wondering what will I eat today, physically inactive, high blood pressure,  and caring for everyone else except for me. Now I am 190lb, I work out 5 times a week, I can jog 1.5 miles, I am eating well, my skin is great, my energy levels are high, my self esteem is through the roof, o and did I mention my blood pressure is normal and I said goodbye to Toporal. Last but certainly not least I am now first on my list of priorities.

This journey has not been easy. In the onset I was admitted to the hospital 3 times for severe dehydration as the smell of food made me sick and water hurt my pouch so bad I couldn't drink it. Those first 6 months were the hardest. My first thoughts were what did I get myself into? I now realize anything worth having is worth working hard for. After pushing pass those first 3 to 6 months things got easier and I got a little stronger day by day! I have plateued from time to time but that's okay it took me longer than a year to put on 150lbs and understand this is a marathon not a sprint. Who could complain anyway I lost 100lbs in 9months.

After loosing 107lbs 32lbs is just a piece of cake! Once I reach my goal I will update you again! Thanks for your support having a forum to share this journey with has been key in my success!

A SPECIAL THANKS TO ONE OF THE GREATEST SURGEONS IN THE WORLD DR. TIMOTHY KUWADA,  and the team and staff  at Carolina's Weightloss Clinic I couldn't have done this without you, you guys have truly been my angels!
