It has been a while since I have posted an update.I have finally made the move to Florida and I am loving it.I've been here about a month now.Didn't really need to adjust too much since I am familiar with the area already and all my family is here.As far as my weighloss progress.There is none.Have been off the wagon since the move.I am an emotional eater and the stress of the move really did me in and throw in the holidays and call it a wrap....but instead of spazzing out and giving up.I have set a goal for myself.I will be going back to Philly in about 2 weeks and I am determind to lose 8lbs.Will be heading to the gym today and getting my workout on.I also have to find a doctor for checkups.Had a complete fill before I left Philly so I don't really have to concern myself with that.I got a new car and I am loving it,It can really move.Have to be mindful of my speed though because you can hit 80 and not even realize it.So far no love life to report....the pickings here are non existent....so far from my type....but oh well...that is the farthest thing from my list.Right now its all about me and striving to better myself and the atmosphere around me
Taking It Step By Step
Jun 18, 2007
I had my 6th fill today.I lost 7lbs.Although I'm glad to have lost weight,I am so disappointed that its not as much as I wanted.Some of it is due to not being able to work out because of my back pain and then I was sick with a cold and just making bad choices.So even though the docs and nurses thought it was a good thing.....it wasn't good enough for me.So now I am in fighter mode.I got some work-out tapes and plan on working out in the mornings and then going to the gym in the evenings.People are really noticing the weightloss and making positive comments but I still can't see anything,I guess in a way that is a good thing....won't get too comfortable.

The Happenings
Mar 27, 2007
Just a quick catch up with what has been going on in my world....Well,on Saturday,March 24th,there was another Meet N' Greet,it was a nice get together.I saw some familiar faces and some new faces.We went bowling,I am not good at it at all,but I sure do enjoy it.I am going on for my 4th fill today.I'm glad I am getting it a week early,I need it.I plan on having a discussion with the nurse that schedules the appoinments about the way she speaks to patients.Can you believe when I asked her if I could know the last level of fill I had,she asked me why did I need to know.I let her know I needed to know because it is my business.I don't like going back and forth but I think its very rude to question a patient about them wanting knowledge of their medical issues.
Since WLS I have come across some really great people and some not so great.
I'm a laid back easy going type of person.I don't drink,don't smoke and I'm not into vulgar things,so I don't really understand people who seem to go out of their way to be loud,obnoxious and very annoying.Life is too short and filled with too many greats things to accomplish for my main goal to be finding ways to create drama,there is already too much of that in the world.
God is too good and there are too many blessings for me to concentrate on the frivilous things.
Well thats my insight for the day.I'll fill you in on how my appointment goes later on in the day
Whats the Haps?
Mar 21, 2007
The month of March has not been to kind to me.Seems like my energy level has been all over the place.The first 2 weeks I was the energizer bunny,going to the gym and doing my thing but after a while my energy went somewhere and the hunger started creeping up.I didn't lose not even 1 pound......boo hoo.I won't spaz out though like I normally would.Its a new day and I am getting back on track.I scheduled my 4th fill and I was surprised and thankful that I am having it done a week early.I was a littled tiffed with the nurse that schedules the appointments,she really needs to work on her attitude.While scheduling my appointment,I asked the nurse could she give me the fill levels from my previous appoitments,well she got so nasty and asked me why do I need to know that.It took me off guard for a second and I was speechless at her tone of voice and her asking me why I needed to know my own business.So I let her know that its my medical information and I can ask anything about that I choose.She later apologized stating that others have asked her that question to compare their levels with other people but in my opinion,it shouldn't matter to her why someone wants their information......IT IS THEIRS.My 4th fill is scheduled for Wednesday,March 28th and I will be seeing that nurse and I plan on talking to her about being less sarcastic and snappy with patients because whether the patients are pre-op or post-op,the people that come into the office still need support,understanding and respect while going through this journey
3rd Times A Charm
Feb 27, 2007
I had my 3rd fill yesterday....thank God.They say the 3rd time is the charm and I am hoping that it is true.The nurse weighed me and the scale said 265 but I don't really believe that because the last 2 weeks was a eating free for all.I fell off the wagon but I am back on and ready to continue running this race.My goal for the month of March is to lose 20 lbs.
Can't Steal My Joy
Feb 22, 2007
Isn't it funny how people always come around when they need something.Well from my last post,I spoke about 1 of my friends that has started to change and not call as much.Well I called this friend around 2 weeks ago to check up on her(even though she never felt compelled to call me)because she has very bad asthma and has been going through some things with her job situation.Well I called her cell,she never answered,so I left a voicemail....that was 2 weeks ago.Could you believe she calls me yesterday telling me that she is calling me because I act like I can't call anyone.....are you serious?Well the typical Kim would have told her about herself and what she can do,but for some reason,a calmness came over me and I could care less.So she continues on to tell me that she lost her job because of her sickness keeping her out of work,she has no insurance to pay for her medicine and she has been sick....throughout all of that I listened to her but the whole time knowing that she wants to ask me for something.I am so over the dramatics....that is why I leave my friendships with females to a limit.Throughout the past 2 weeks I have been feeling depressed and stressed but wouldn't you know there is always a ram in the bush to enrouage you when you need it the most.
Just want to send a shout out to:
