3yr Surgiversary. -242lbs =]

Dec 09, 2010

3 Years ago today; at this same time 9-9:30am, I was on my way to recovery, at 406lbs...

Today I stand at 142lbs... I stepped on that scale and couldn't believe it. I've lost 242 lbs. It wasn't easy, but it was so worth it...

I honestly wish I wouldve exercised more, because now I have all this EXXXCESSIVE skin, with clothes not so much of a problem, but without FORGET ABOUT IT. lol ITs better than bein 406 anyday, but for once in my life I want to be fully comfortable... I wanna wear a tank top when its 100 degrees out... Or a Skirt, but i dont give up, because i know ive come this far, ill get even farther... =] 

I feel GREAT. Healthier, Sexier, Energetic... The list goes on... I thank God, because i did not go through any complications... i did faint twice due to dehydration, but that was my own fault... i stopped taking my vitamins and drinking fluids for a while, and it cought up to me... Id drink very little fluids through out the day... SO PLEASE DRINK AT LEST 64 OZ of Water a day... sooo important... Other then that i can pretty much eat and drink anything.... which sucks, (lol) but i dont take advantage.... i stop when im satisfied, once in a blue ill eat to fast, or a little too much...

but normally, for breakfast i can normally eat about 1egg, scrambled, slice of cheese, slice of turkey or ham, etc, and 2 toast, but i normally end up ripping off the crust, id say in total ill eat about a slice of bread... [[ive become such a picky eater, i will pick and tear apart everything. and when i cook, i take an hour just prepping. lol]]

lunch i just started eating uhmmm chef boy r dees spaghetti and meatballs.... lol i dont like the meatballs, so i take them out, and ill eat about 3/4 of the can......

dinner..... about 1/4 cup of rice, 1 sometimes 2 pieces of chicken, [[normally drumsticks or chicken wings]], and aloooottt of beans..... lol i love them.... i sometimes finish it all up, most of the time dont...

and i snack thru out the day..... im a muncher..... so ill walk in the kitchen, grab a banana, or a cookie, just one or 2, or a pretzel, etc.....

but this works for me.... so yeah... lol I LOVE MY SURGERY. I LOVE ME. IM HAPPY. if i had to do this surgery over every day for the rest of my life, I would. =] 

I did it. U will too... dont give up.... and dont be so hard on yourselves, youre ur biggest enemy.... According to ur faith be it unto you. Matthew 9:29


Advice:: TAKE UR VITAMINS; SO IMPORTANT. DRINK ALL UR FLUIDS. EXERCISE. TONE UP ARMS, LEGS, TUMMY, U WONT REGRET IT. LOL AND JUST FOLLOW UR DOCTORS RULES.

My Happy Ending.
