So impatient

Sep 09, 2014

Hey guys, I have been so busy with life but happy that all has been going well for me health wise. Just kind of bum that I am at a stall right now, being lazy. I work evening, sleep all morning and don't workout as much as I should. Currently 200lbs, got about 30lbs to go to hit my goal. Just want to see that scale read 170lbs, then I will celebrate but very proud of myself for what I have done so far. Getting ready to go to phase two of my body challenge-plastic surgery. Gonna start saving my money real soon. Hopefully I can get a tummy tuck, lipo, and arm lift when I am 17-18 months post op. Please continue to pray for me. Thank you everybody for all the support

242lbs and scared of my new appetite

Mar 31, 2014

So after all my dilations I am back on track. Just return to work and I am so scared of the foods that I am able to eat now. After going over 2 months on just soft foods and liquids I was becoming addicted to the weight loss but now I am able to eat more I am so scared of not reaching my goal of 165lbs. I have made a promise to myself once I got to 195lb I would start consulting a dr about a tummy tuck. They say that can help you lose another 10-15lbs which we help me get to goal if I can't meet it on my own. Lord please give me strength.

249lbs woohoo!

Mar 04, 2014

After 3 dilations and several cups of soup and Gatorade for almost 2 months I am proud to say I am on my way to normalcy. Just started solid foods after 8 weeks. Now that I can tolerate solids I am ready to hit the gym full time. But my current weight is 249.5 lbs and size 16, so happy it took my almost 7 years to see that number. It has been a rough start but I am still happy I made this decision. Just looking forward to the future.

Upper GI/ EGD with dilation

Jan 22, 2014

So I went to the doctor yesterday. Good news I lost 4 lbs in one week. Bad news I am not getting in enough liquids or food still feeling nauseous so my doctor said I had to get a upper GI just to check everything last week so this week I got my results. Everything has healed great but there is still some swelling around my new pouch which is causing a delay in fluids passing through my system, which cause my body to take forever to process food. So he ordered me to get a EGD with dilation, so they are gonna go in and widen the swollen area. Don't know what to expect but he did tell me it will give me instant relief that way I can go on with my diet. I just can't wait to be able to eat my favorite a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. And get enough nutrients from my foods so I can finally have the energy to hit the gym. Please pray for me. Thank you

:-) 1st doctor appointment

Jan 15, 2014

So yesterday I went to the doctor's office yesterday. So yes I have had a hard time can't get in enough fluids or protein, a lot of vomiting. So my doctor has ordered me to have a upper gi x ray just to check everything. But the great thing is my blood sugar is finally Normal. Not more meds. And super happy I was weighed at the doctor's and I have lost 20lbs. I used a cheap scale another day that lied to me thought I was going crazy, so excited it wasn't crazy. From now on, I will only trust the doctor's scale:-)

Am I going to make it

Jan 11, 2014

So I guess here is the depression kicking in. So after 2 weeks of hell, post op and 1 week before of hell(no being able to eat anything to prepare for surgery) I was so sure that I would have lose a 20 lbs, I can't keep anything down barely water. So today I was in Walmart, I go to the doctor office in 4 more days but I couldn't hold it in any longer I had to weigh myself.  ONLY 6 lbs! I felt like crap. All this pain and only 6lbs. I am hoping my whole year does not go slow like this, because that means I will only lose maybe 60-80lbs, no way near my goal of 175lbs. I am hoping that it is because my body is so musclular so maybe I should measure inches instead of pounds or maybe it's because I have been stuck in the hospital and have not been able to work out. Either way I feel just down.

1 week post op

Jan 05, 2014

So this week has been tough with this hernia repair killing my chest. Listen up people! Buy a grabber reacher, for picking up things that fall. I've had to learn the hard way. If my hernia would just heal I would be so happy right now.
