FREAKING ONEDERLAND BABY!!!
Apr 05, 2011
Yep that's right you read the title correctly! I'm in Freaking Onederland!!! 199.2 lbs!!!!I started my weightloss journey January 3, 2010 weighing in at a whopping 360 lbs and 34 years of age. When I saw the scale read 360 lbs I knew it was time to change my life or I was going to die and die young. I felt like I was going to die every step hurt, I could barely breathe and I had several co-morbidities.
I started eating healthy portions and healthier foods and I started going to water aerobics 3 to 5 days a week. Before I knew it I was losing the weight and I started feeling better every day. I did however still decide to go on with the WLS on July 19th 2010 to help keep me on track...
By July 19th I weighed in at 299 lbs I had reached my first goal and oh what a feeling knowing that I was no longer in the 300's! What a present to recieve on the day of my surgery. I have to admit that the days after my surgery were very painful but I still walked the hospital halls every hour trying to get out the gas! A week after surgery I developed gastritis and thought I had done something wrong... The heart burn was unbareable!!! Found out that it was from drinking Crystal light and a few days after I stopped drinking it, it went away and haven't had a problem since!
This surgery hasn't been a cake walk and I have had plenty of stahls but I would never change what I did! Easy way out my ass! I have to make healthy choices when I eat, make sure I get all my protein, vitamins and water in on a daily basis and exercise like a mad woman! I have tons of skin hanging every where but you know what I will take that over all the weight I could still be carrying today if I hadn't made the decision to live.
