Well it has been a long time since I have been on here... Well what is new in my life? Well 17 months post op, we found out i'm pregnant..  So I am almost eight months along now. My start weight was 175 and im 204 now. Boy I will tell ya though, it's hard to watch the scale climb again after you're used to seeing it come down...  I take what I'm supposed to and I have to take vitamin d also..  Who would've thought, after all the milk I drink, I need more!!!  Lol... Health wise I did have some complications..  I am Hypo glycemic = low blood sugars.. I was in my first trimester when we found this out..  I was a sick puppy!!  Then at 4 1/2 months I was in the hospital for a week with really bad pain on my upper left side that was preventing me to eat and drink. I lost some weight (10#), they monitored the baby close because they didn't know what was wrong with me.. Turned out I had an ulcer.. Or so they thought. The CT didnt show obstruction, which was good.. They gave me meds to coat my stomach, and a nasty mix called a GI cocktail.. All that is, is maalox and lanicain.. Taste is horrible, but it numbs away the pain when I need it..  After that stint, I had to withdraw from school, because I missed so much with being sick, and not knowing why, and being in the hospital. I couldn't catch up, so I withdrew. I also quit my job in a heated argument with my boss - it took place when I was sick with my low sugars (having low sugars can make a person very irritable and less tollerant of BS) , so I havent worked since.. All in all, everyone is extatic about the baby, we just baught the crib last night, so it's really startin to sink in fast. And having 7 weeks left, is a lot to realize too...Well I will update again, probrally after the baby!!  Take care

It's official!!!  170#  I am at my goal weight and cant be more extatic!!!   i know in December i wrote that we were gonna wait to do the reconstructive process , but after the breakdowns I have had, we decided to go ahead..  I have my consult on tues and am nervous as hell!!  i will post again and let you know what all will be getting done and how the Insurance people will cooperate..  Nobody really knows. I did tell my granma, she asked why. I told her so that i can feel like I have seen this all the way through and to look as great as I feel. She gave her blessing, which told me I was doing the right thing for me!!  My grama and I have such a special bond never to be replaced!!  My mom thinks i should wait till after kids, but I cant..  What is my skin gets worse and more stretched out than it is now..  I mean I have gone from 350# to 170# in 13 1/2 months, theres some flabbyness, but hopefully we can fix all that!!  well ticker time!!

hello all !!! well here I am.. My 1st year out!!! Some things good and some things bad, but I made it through the hardest and toughest thanks to my wonderful family and friends who support and encourage me when i need it the most... My husband Carl, he has been wonderful towards me.. He truely does love me unconditional, and that has helped me make the hardest decision - weither or not to get reconstructive surgery yet or do i wait.. I have chosen to wait.. My IUD comes out in January and we are gonna try for a baby... Keep us in your prayers for that please.. My 2 moms-- My mother in law has been fabulous.. Anything that bothers me, I can talk to her about.. she loves to go With my measurments- I have lost a total of 65 inches .. My weigh in is 175# I have lost exactly half of my body weight... What a trip!!! Alright y'all one more time-- its ticker time!!! ~muah~

well here I am for another check in..  its middle of november.. well the third week in november.. almost my 1 year post op...  god i cant believe it.. what a difference 11 months have made on my life..  i am down to 180 and i feel just great..  its like i have a whole new sence of adventure and want to do it all and see it all...  the husband has a hard time understanding or keeping up at times.. my mom and i are doing great.. she calls me her beautiful butterfly and loves dressing me up in some interesting get-ups too..  she said she always wanted a life size barbie doll...  i just laugh.. its so weird like they actually are comming out with cute ass clothes for larger sized women...  and im pissed i cant fit in them>> cause they're too big..  my mom laughs at me and says that she feels the same way with me shopping in the juniors sized clothes.. tit for tat i say ..  but with that only gripe-- im not complaining one bit!!!   i couldnt be happier or feel any better than i do know..  my 1 year check up is on 11/26  i will post again then!! ticker time y'all ::::  

 

 

Well here I am for another check in...   In early augest I had the dreaded kidney stone!!!   God did that suck!!!  I think husband counted like, 7 shots of morphine!!!   and i still hurt, but was drained out!!!  after i recouperated from that, I started school for Medical Assistant on the 27th..  I love it and am excited to see what challenges lie ahead.  My confidence has risen to a whole new level, I am feeling great and looking good too!!!    OK.. The part i love the most on here--  my weigh in...  TA - DUM..  211#  a total of 136# lost from when i started the program last year..   OK now its ticker time !!!

well here I am..    it's been roughly 6 1/2 months since my surgery and I am happy to report a weight loss of.. 117#..  i have 66# left till i hit goal!!!    this is truely the most incredable experience i have ever been through!!   to go from 347# to 230# in a total of 9 months..  I was able to play catch with my uncle ... I haven't attempted that since i was a kid. I never had the energy...  now though  I can!!!   well time to update my ticker!!!

well here we are in my 4th month out. i am down 82# total from begining to now. i've lost 26.5" so far.. carl can actually lift me .. its such an amazing feeling to have..  during this month some things have changed around me..  my support circle is down a person, my mom. she told me to my face i had taken the easy way out and she didnt approve of it. i informed her that it was already done and that it wasnt the easy way. i told her that the easy way out would've been to do nothing about my weight. i know for a fact that had i not done anything, i would be over 400#. and that is no exageration either, its a fact. but she doesnt look at it like that, and im to the point now that i dont need those kind of people around me..  it hurts to say because she's my mother, but i cant have her tearing me down every chance she gets either, because what i did was for me and my health.  well time to go weigh in with the ticker factory.. from 278# to 265#  bye   ~muah~

well here i am!!!   3 months out and down a total of 69# !!!   it's the best feeling i could ever have asked for or imagined!!!   a lot has gone on since i last updated this..   i changed jobs.. well more like careers..  i was a bill collector and have now began a new venture in being a travel agent for corporate traveling..   i couldn't be more excited (or scared), but i have confidence that i will do great!!   what else..  oh some doom and gloom news..   i have found - in my own family- a non supporter..  it is my mother..   i will say, jelousy is a very decieving  and bad thing to be around..  well since we havent hadd a real close bond for some time- it doesnt hurt as bad as it would have..  i just stay away from her and surround myself with people who love me, understand why i did this for me, and respect my decision, and support it...  i keep all negitivity away from me at this time... this healing time is for me!!  now on a better note    my updated ticker  -- woo hoo !!!!      ~muah~ 

well here i am at 6 weeks!!  i cant believe it!!  solid food..  wow!!   things have been going great!!  im in a size 24 jeans- which i might add- i havent been in this size since i was in highschool  6 1/2 yrs. ago!! so it is a great feeling!!!    well i will check in at my 2 month post op in a couple weeks with more updates!!  take care ~~muah
