Weight gain and accountability...

Sep 02, 2014

So here I am today frustrated and upset.  I went from 330 pounds down to 185 lbs...  then today I weighed in at 236.....  What is happening to me?  Why is it so hard to eat healthy and exercise.  I want to get back on track but I feel so defeated.  I have my dream job, a beautiful wife, and life that I want to enjoy living but I just keep gaining weight regardless of what I eat.  I started my new job in April of 2014 and weighed 214 lbs-Today I weigh 236 and feel terrible about myself.  Im not looking for pitty-guess I'm just looking for some motivation, kind words, advice-anything.  Hope everyone is doing well....

105 lbs!

Jun 17, 2011

I went to the gym for a great workout today and stepped on the scale today with my clothes on, a handful of keys, lock, and iPod and I successfully weighed in at 228 lbs for a total loss of 105 lbs.  February 7th 2011 I was questioning my decision but wouldnt take it back for anything!  Things are going great-I get people saying the dont recognize me and that feels great.  I have high hopes that this continues and I get to a point where im comfortable enough to do anything!  Anyway, just an update-today is a good day!  :)

Holy hell!

Apr 24, 2011

 So im about to have my three month post op appointment and I must say that this is working!  I am down 77 lbs (I think thats what it is) and I couldnt be any happier!  I have really noticed a huge change at my job and my overrall level of activity in life.  I have to say that this is probably one of the best things I have ever done for myself.  Its funny because I miss food and I miss eating anything but I look back and think that the feeling to eat crazy is what got me to this point now.....  The only thing I would have done differently is to not let myself get to the point I was at a few months ago.....  I ate a lot of good food for a REALLY LONG TIME and now its time time to start the clock over again and treat myself well.  I go to the gym three times a week and spend a lot of time on the rowing machine and weights and it feels great.  Anyway, time to finish cleaning so thats all for now.  :)  To all of those having trouble with their post op, play the mind game and tell yourself that you will get through this because you will.  There is nowhere else to go but up!

Hmmm

Feb 13, 2011

I just wanted to do a quick little write regarding my recovery for surgery on the 7th of this month.  Almost seven days out and have had NO complications from the surgery itself-however, I believe that my intubation landed me in a world of hurt.  I had been septic, bordering on pneumonia, and had pulmonary edema that would only allow me to sleep for two hours at a time.  EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!!  I will say that keeping up with protein and fluid intake are rough but doable with a protein shake that you can tolerate.  After being on Levaquin, im finally starting to feel much better and last night was my first full night of sleep.  Thanks for all the well wishes but things are looking up I think.  Talk to you all soon, gotta drink my protein :)

18 days and counting!

Jan 19, 2011

So I am having my surgery in 18 days....  Kind of crazy when I actually think about it.  Had my last pre-op appt with my surgeon and a pre-op appointment with the hospital.  $4000.00 later and I am set to go.  Got all my prescriptions from the doc and got that end squared away.  Starting a liquid diet today because I gained some weight over the holidays so hurray for that....  Anyway, stay tuned.  Naptime!

Surgery Scheduled!!!

Nov 22, 2010

 Well hello everyone-I hope this letter finds you well.  I am proud to say that my surgery is scheduled for February 7th 2011 and couldnt be any happier.  Time to get the holidays out of the way and start with my new life.  I do have a question that I hope someone can help me out with....

Are you or anyone you know a Paramedic and is someone that has had Gastric Bypass surgery.  The main reason I am asking is because of being able to go to work.  My surgeon was variable in when I can head back but I am trying to find someone who knows a practical answer.  Please let me know if you have any info.  Thanks for your time!

2011 is going to be my year.
