8 months out;5 months pregnant and down 86lbs

Apr 13, 2010

well, well well!! its been a long time. I am 8 months post op and feeling good! on top of that i am 5 months pregnant.....uhhhh yeah pregnant! what a surprise but BLESS the LORD for the new addition. It was crazy because morning sickness i was like is this the surgery or the baby so i am still a bit unfamiliar with the surgery being that i got pregnant so soon after but everything is working good. mom and lil one....(girl) are doing fine. I was a bit disappointed to be pregnant because i could not wait for the summer to show my new body but its all good cuz now i have a smaller pregnant body! yayy. as i said im down 86 lbs not much but what a difference it makes and in fact since being pregnant i am still loosing weight which the doc said was fine. so in the meantime i pray all are wll and continue on your journey, because after all thats whay it is!

2weeks post op

Aug 20, 2009

hi fam. 2weeks and 2days post op. so far i have lost 25lbs. very excited! i am still in the process of learning how to realize when i am full and being content with it. its gonna take more time, but i know in the end it is the best. i have leearned to slow down,chew, and think about the food infront of me! i can truly say that i am proud myself.when i sit and think about it, my world was surrounded by food, and it actually made me happy. like the other day i was telling my mother we were gonna go to the amusment park, and immedatly i began to get happy thinking about the sanwhiches and chips i could have. seem like some kinda endorfins went off and i mean i wasreally happy thinking about the food, and NOT the fun i was gonna have, but the FOOD! that was really crazy and i am glad i am begining to see areas i need to work on. man i got happy over the food i was gonna eat and not the fun at the park! and then i realized i just had the surgery and that was not gonna happen and then i got kinda depressed and did not want to go, is that not crazy or wut. i think here in the U.S. we learn this behavior because everywhere you turn there is food! i am learning that food is not eveything, and to find enjoyment in other things and not food!
