Jan 27, 2010

Well I know it has been a long time for me on this site since FB came around.  I kind of deserted OH (so sorry).  Okay here goes an update on me well I just made it to my 2 year surgiversary I am okay with my weight lost I am still managing to maintain my weight still wearing a size 8 hopefully I will be able to drop another 7-10 pounds I won"t be disappointed if I don't though.  So many things have changed for me since WLS I've  met some truly wonderful people and some very positive people along this journey.  I have divorced since my WLS (not related to WLS) and now I am newly married to an amazing Man.  I did not think God still created them like him.  I have been blessed in all aspects of my life I won't or can't complain.  I promisse to do better as far as accountability with updating my in Also, I moved to Georgia and life has been great will be posting some pics soon.

This has been an amazing journey!!!!!

Jan 20, 2009

It is truly hard for me to belive it has been almost a year since I had WLS.  I must say to any newbies reading my BLOG this has been one of the BEST things to have ever happened to me.  WLS is not a quick fix to life as many people believe it is a process one that I am truly grateful to have endured.  1 year ago I weighed in at 249.5 pounds today I am very proud to be 151 pounds WLS has been good to me.  I was very comfortable at around 160 pounds but I will allow my body to do what it needs to do Dr. O says your body will know when to stop if you are doing the right things I need to get better about posting on OH it really does keep you focused and I know I need to stay focused.  Til the next time.

Wow it has been over 2 months since I updated.  Well as of today I have lost a total of 85 pounds.  I am haveing a blast in ATL meeting a lot of wonderful people.  I am now 165 lbs so I guess it's time for me to post some pics this has been a beautiful journey.  For all the pre-ops reading my profile this has been the best thing I could have done for myself the ride ha not been easy but it has been so worth it. Everyday I look back at what used to be and thank God for allowing me be where I am today.  I take everyday step by step.

Update

Apr 25, 2008

Well It's officially been 3 months since surgery as of last Friday I was down to 183lbs I refuse to weigh this week because of my friendly monthly houseguest lol.  I must say that I finally experienced what dumping is NOT FUN!!!!  I am finding that It seems that I am starving the week before and the week Flo comes to visit amazing but then when she leaves everything is normal again and I lose a ton of weight when she leaves.  I am starting to finally get the hang of planning my meals and not eating on the run.My stomach talks so much and boy is this thing loud!!!!!!  I must say this Surgery has been a blessing for me I can do things now that I have not done in years.  I will update again next month.

My Doctor's visit

Mar 31, 2008

Well I had a visit with Dr. O today IT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!He told ME he was very proud of me and I was doing what he told me to do my starting weight according to his scale on 12-14-2007 was 246.5 I had surgery on 1-23-2008 today according to the Docs scale I weigh 198 according to my scale it's 195 so I will give in and go with his scale 48.5 pounds lost (he would not let me take off pounds for  Aunt Flo visiting)  I am offcially in onederland WOW it's been a long time time I will say I am going to continue to do what I am doing getting all of my water, vitamins, and exercise in just walking at this point 2 miles a day.  All I can say is I am amazed at how quick this weightloss has been this month.  at this point I no longer qualify for surgery this TOOL is working for me.  I told him I feel like I am starving by the time I have a meal he said thats okay so if it works for him it works for me I setting a 10 goal for myself for the next 30 days when I post next month I should be saying I weighed in at 185-188 pounds pray for me.

Update!!

Mar 17, 2008

Well as of Today I have lost a total of 37.5 pounds woohoo!!!!.  I am a little worried though because My doctor wants me to lose 20 pounds this month and it seems as though the harder I try I am just not getting it done.  I have followed this plan as far as eating and the exercising that he wants me to do I make sure I get ALL of my vitamins in and my protein and water but I am afraid to fail this  (basically I don't want Dr O to fuss if I don't lose the 20 pounds I know I am losing inches I have gone from a size 20 to a size 14 in 8 weeks so I do know the surgery is working for me right now it is so frustrating.  Mentally this is hard very hard I know it will get better.
