WOW It's been a year already!!!

Jul 11, 2010

 i can not believe i lost 100 lbs. in 8 months!!!!!  Now a year later I'm going under the knife once again....on July 14th I'm having plastics done.... tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast augmentation (420cc silicone)

This past year has def. been the best year of my life....

i found out who my real friends were...        some ppl were genuinely happy for me while other began to hate on me, it was really quite sad but at the end of the day I'm glad i got to see the truth(never really seems to happen much i feel lucky)

my marriage was truly tested...             my husband will not admit how this is all affecting him.  He says it's no big deal, he still sees me as the big girl he fell in love with.  WHAT????  

My confidence is thru the roof...             Ok so i was pretty loud n cocky before surgery, now my attitude is complimented with my looks and accomplishments.  I feel untouchable....good or bad???  I'm lovin' it!

Opportunities have came my way that would have never been presented to me....   I have won several awards at school because of my drive determination and multitasking.  Without this surgery i would never had mastered those attributes.  ppl want me to work for them or with them...they seek me out... AWESOME!!!

4 months out....

Nov 05, 2009

Man have i been a little busy bee.....i have to say life on the other side it AWESOME!!!!  First of all

i'm 80 lbs down.---->weighing 160lbs.

 I wear a size 11 in juniors  and medium tops in juniors!!!!!!   

Skinny jeans are sooo frikkin comfy!!!!!  

Ok lets talk food.......

i can tolerate sugar  which sucks!  I can not tolerate chicken n mushrooms.  Sometimes i can have pasta and sometimes i can not.  Pizza is still a no no!!!!  I stick to seafood and potatoes.  
People don't like going out to eat with me because i'll stare at them eat or ask them to tell me how it tastes. lol or they just feel fat cause it looks like they eat alot since i'm only eating 1/2 cup of food per meal.   I order a cup of ice when i dine out since i can't drink with food.  

Bad habits......
I started back smoking i quit for 4 1/2 months damn it!!!!!   i been drinking quite often.....i only drink vodka(grey goose) and cranberry i don't get drunk quick like ppl have said they do on here.   Potato chips......somehow i have convince myself n my support family that it's good protein to eat them!!!!!  What a joke.

So i'm doing good but i'm def. not perfect.  If i don't work out atleast twice a week i feel fat n sluggish. as if i went and indulged at a buffet!

People treat me different.  I'm just a little girl now and that's so weird for me.  never been that!  It does start to show who your real friends r!!!!!  i'm ok with losing some of them since it seem to be because they thought of me as the fat friend or they thought they looked better than me!!!  LOL  NOT ANYMORE!!!!!

OMG I'm welcoming myself to onderland 6 weeks out!!!!

Aug 17, 2009

So i'm six weeks out and i have soo much too say about this new life.....

I get soo angry about not being able to indulge myself at the dinner table or out to eat...

sometimes it's embarassing  to eat because of how little i eat...

I feel like i'm a natural now  at throwing up...

my pouch tolerates everything it's not and nothing it is supposed to...it's weird!

NOW FOR THE GOOD....

I bought my first pair of american eagle jeans  size 15   (i used to wear a 20)
Also my first Victoria Secret anything....it is a shirt size large (used to wear 2x sometimes 3x)

I weigh 198 which is the exact same weight i weghed freshman year in high school...13 yrs. ago...WHAT WHAT!!!

People are finally starting to notice in other places besides my face and collar bone that i'm losing weight!

DID i mention i'm only 6 weeks out?????  

I can't imagine 6 months out...i'm sooo excited!

trying to feel normal!!!

Aug 02, 2009

on friday the 31st, i was going stir crazy at home and just wanted to get away and do something fun!  Since i have officially lost 30lbs i decided i wanted to go to cedar point in ohio.  OMG  i walked soooooooooooo  much!!!!  I had a blast  i didn't feel like the fat girl who couldn't fit in the seat or had to stuff myself in the seat.  and i went to a water park and rode all the slides, which i had to walk up 3 or 4 flights of stairs each time to go down them!!!!  Man i def. got my exercise on this weekend!

  The thing that really sucked was that i couldn't eat like anything there or drink anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I started to get angry.  the more i did to feel normal the more i was finding out i will never be!!!!! 

I love my RNY, i do but geez this is hard!!!!  n i've been away from the scale for 2 days...i'm going crazy!!!!  i have a horrible habit of checking my wieght like three times a day! 

Ok so to reward myself last night for not eating anything at the park, we got pizza cause i am allowed to eat the toppings just not the crust....yeah i totally dumped off that...too much grease!!! i'm soo pissed cause i love pizza!!!!!  hopefully it won't always be like this!!!  i am only 3 1/2 weeks out!

Jul 24, 2009

So i went to meet with the nutritionist....first time since surgery....YAY  i graduated to soft/pureed foods. 

So eggs don't seem to like me.  I am currently dumping those.

i've tried refried beans with salsa on top and a little cheese that was good. 
I love yogurt now which is weird cause i used to hate it!!! 
sugar free fudgesicles n creamsicles r my fav!!!! 
i still eat mashed potatoes ofcourse but now i take chicken n some broth and make a gravy for it!!!! YUM!  
I had string cheese today it was delicious.
tomorrow i'm going ut to applebee's with my mom n kids after church.....prolly get salmon n mashed potatoes

i wish i had more ideas for food i do miss the variety.

Oh well...i'm 25 lbs down! in only 16 days!  YAY!

Everyone says "Oh i can see it in your legs n face"  ok cool but can we start loosing it in my stomach...that would be great thanks lol

My first weekend out being a RNYer

Jul 19, 2009

So i had surgery like 11 days ago.... i went to a bachelorette party and they had awesome healthy food there but i couldn't eat any of it.....sucked!  Then when we went out on the town, i couldn't drink ofcourse....that sucked! 

I came home at like 2 am hungry so i ate french onion soup 4 oz.  i felt really sore,  i think i may have done too much.  

The next morning i went for a woek with my mother...it was soo refreshing but we walked 2 miles.  was that too much???

idk   Then i drove back home by myself 2 1/2 hours.  Whew i was tired and sore....on Sunday i just laid in the bed!!!!! 

OMG on saturday night i had taco bell...oops...one taco and i didn't eat the shell.  my body tolerated it.  That kinda made me worried because my surgeon said my pouch was smaller than most and that i would probably dump.  I felt great! 

Then on sunday night i tried to eat another taco because there was some left.  Low enbehold i ended up dumping.  That was my first time dumping....yuck!  

Thursday i see the nutritionist to put me on pureed foods....oh i can't wait!  this liquid shit isn't satisfying anymore!!!! 

But i will say i'm 20 lbs down as of Monday Morning july 20th!!!! YooHoo

My goodbye letter

Jul 12, 2009

Dear food,

Oh where do i begin with you.  You and i have had a relationship that has lasted my entire life!!!!  Who was there for me when i am sad...you...you little chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.  What you pizza....you've comforted me at my worst times and my greatest time...you are truely my bestie.  i promise you guys it's not you it's me!!!  I just can't continue down this road with you.  You understand i hope, it's not good for me or my body!  Dr. Pepper you will always be my #1 in heart that is.  I hope you don't take this too bad i know i've kept you around faithfully for 26 yrs.  This is going to be the hardest thing i've ever had to do.  See i love my husband and my children, and finally i'm learning to love myself and that's why i must...i must do this!!!!  In the future, we may see eachother again, and i will really appreciate that time that we share.  but it will never be the same as before.  OH Mr. Big Mac I've dreaded having to say it but your a BADDDDD boy,  and that's why i've loved you sooo.  i just can't do it anymore!  Please bacon....don't be mad that i am now close with turkey bacon, it sucks their just better for me.  How many times Taco Bell have i tried to justify how healthy you are to myself and everyone?  It will be so hard to visit you Olive garden and not eat your delicious breadsticks and eat your enormous pasta dish (i love you all)  then to spend time with your rasberry cheesecake, it's like heaven when i visit you.  It will be a long time before i visit you again, i really am sorry.  

Good bye to all of you i know you guys ment well and i thank you for the support.  Sometimes you were there for me better than my friends and family.   You understood me, you never judged me!  I will always remember you for that.  But I've grown up and i'm going to graduate college now and it's just time for a change!!!

Will miss you dearly,

Jacqueline J. Williams
