My update March 2014
Mar 17, 2014
Well I am 33 weeks pregnant so happy to be having a baby boy. I had two girls 6 and 9 before rny and this baby has given me all the prego symptoms you can think of Im Not sure if it's because of having him after rny or if because he's a boy and I'm 32. He's healthy so far and so am i to say the least but my husband and I are excited. No more babies for me so I will be tying my tubes after he is born. When I got pregnant with him I weighted 130 and now weigh 161. I'm not worried about the weight but I do want to make sure I don't make the same mistakes I did after I had my girls and just packed on the weight. Before getting prego I was easily maintaining my weight at 130 and that's with some diet and exercise. I always wanted to know what it would be like as a skinny prego woman because I weighed 190 with my last girl so this experience feels like my first pregnancy.
Before and after I'm 5'2" Im a shorty.

This is me before and after. I had surgery last December and am doing really good now. Go see my page to see how it all started for me. I could not find a good pic of me before because I hated the way i looked. Now I love my body and love taking photos with my family. I am a shorty I am 5'2" and my starting weight was 230's and now weigh 135. I wear a small to medium in tops and a nine in pants. It's nice to be able to buy clothes in any store I want and feel comfortable with my body. Inbox me any questions you have because I know I had lots of questions when I started.
Four months out
Apr 17, 2012
So after being sick for so long and blaming it on my Gastric I found out during a surgery of taking my gallbladder out out that I had tumors and cancer. I have been fighting it just had another surgery to have the tumors removed and am now in the hospital because of a blood clot. But I feel so much better and I can actually eat now. I did loose alot of weight due to being ill and being a new gastric person so now I need to see what comes next. Thank God I found out about my cancer and that it is totally treatable without alot of harm to my body.
God is helping me

About ten weeks postop
Feb 12, 2012
Well I wish I could say I am having a good journey and I feel wonderful. I was in the hospital all last week and it turned out to be over a vitamin deficiency. I hate this journey so far, I have had no energy to exercise and when I eat it feels forced. After I eat or drink I have excessive spitting or I will gag on what is building up in my mouth. I feel like I am going out of my mind with all these problems. I do way less with my kids because I feel drained and useless. There are days I pull myself together to take them to do something and an hour into it I feel like crap and I'm bitchy. I wish I knew what was wrong with me.

A little better :)
Jan 21, 2012
So I found this preseasoned package with very low carb and sugars to add to any meat and veggies. For the first time since surgery the food was delicious. I was so happy and love my chicken with veggies. I have complained alot about this journey but it is giving me everything I have ever wanted and the pounds keep dropping. I weight in less than two months what I weighted four years ago. Can you believe that? I am just finding myself again and God has blessed my life greatly. I met with my dietician who gave me some good news and awesome information to make my life easier. I am actually uplifted by what she had to say. The biggest plus was she said in our next meeting she is going to give me info on a swallowable multivitamin that I can take if I choose to to so I am super excited and looking forward to that. I am a short term type of gall.
Just about six weeks post op!
Jan 08, 2012
Well here I am six weeks now. I am starting to feel alot better as clothes fit me. My food relationship is different figuring out what to eat and chosing between healthy and what I want. Gladly when I choose the wrong food my tummy definitaly has something to say about it lol. If only I had tried harder to loose the weight but I know now I could not have done it. But now I can make better choices and start a healthier new life.

I want to be happy about my decision to have RNY, but right now I am ok with it. I have lost some weight and am fitting in my clothes better. People tell me I look different and are always asking me can you eat this and can you eat that. Most even tease me about what there having having and if I feel bad I can't have it. Lol I tell them I have a small stomach and I'm not gonna waste the space on the trash there eating, but shit it gets old. I feel like a weak person right now because now I have to live without the comfort of foods and it is taking a damper on my spirits. I really do want to be happy and I notice that everyday goes by I get stronger. I have noticed the bad eating habits I have created for my family by always overeating and eating out because now that I don't do that they don't either. RNY saved my life by giving me a reality check and finally for once this summer I will by smaller clothes instead of buying bigger ones and I know when things like that everyday happen I will get stronger. I am up and down right now but my life is worth it.
Four weeks post op!
Dec 26, 2011
Today I am four weeks post op and it feels like a lifetime. FOOD does not taste the same. It has no value anymore and all taste blah to me. I rarely get hungry and when I do I am not excited to eat because it always taste blah. I am on my soft diet right now so I am limited, but it wouldn't matter. I look around now and almost everything I was eating was bad for me and healthy food is more important. I am so moody and being a little difficult to be around. No one can describe how hard having rny is and it is the hardest thing I have gone through. To many people have opinions about what I should do and my close friend who has had it is the only one that is a real help because she has gone through it. Obesity Help is a life saver cause you can find everything on her. I so feel like I am starting over with food and I really hope I feel better about having this done one day.
Surgery Date
Nov 19, 2011
I have my surgery date December 5th, 2011 and that is right around the corner. I'm kind of afraid to be in pain and have to change my lifestyle because I want to do it but afraid I can't do it. But there is no other option for me anymore because all other weightloss tries have failed and I keep getting heavier. Having Gastric is my life line not only to loose weight but to do all the other things I used to do before I gained all the weight. Like take pictures with my family, wear shorts, wear tight tops, go on rides, and feel comfortable when I am in public with my husband. He has always been fit and still is so I feel embarrassed when I am in public and girls check him out then look at me all messed up. I want to be healthier with my kids and more active instead of waiting for my husband to do it all because he is healthy. I want to feel normal again for myself.
