 Well I am abou to hit my 3 year anniversary, I got pregnant in the beginning of 08 gained 40lbs and gave birth November 23rd 2008 to my beautiful daughter Destinee Mae. I weighed a week after having her and I had lost 3 lbs. I cried. All the hell that my family and I had to go through to get where I am now, just didn't seem fair. But my daughter was healthy and thats what mattered most. But now after only eating small amounts all day long I have lost those pounds and I am down to 159. I want so bad to have all this extra skin taken off me, but the cost is just a no go for me right now. My husband after 10 years decided he only was comfortable with someone fat, so thats what he has. I have my daughters.

I am 28 years old I have PCOS but was blessed with a child 3 years ago after trying for 4 years, married for 7 years to the greatest guy in the world!!!! I've also got the 2 greatest  girls in the world too!!! My oldest daughter, Jamela, is 16 on my surgery date, she's adopted, we have had her since she was 10 and our biological daughter Courtney is 3. I tried to get approval with my insurance (bcbs tx) but was denied over and over, so I looked at my options because I was not giving up. I found affordablebariatrics.com and fell in love with doc Silva. The procedure cost a fraction of the cost here in the states so I applied with many surgery loan financing companies, and MedChoice finnally approved me!!!! My surgery date is August 24, 2006.

                                                             

                                                                                                                       August 1, 2006


I have been so nervouse lately, so yesterday I layed down with my daughter who was taking a nap, and prayed about it for about an hour and a half, told God I received his protection, and I received his blessing. I know this is the right thing to do, but satan is just messing with me, because he knows how much better life will be without all this weight, and he doesn't want me to be happy.  So after crying and praying and nearly waking up my daughter, I felt a lot better. I really can't wait now. It seems so long until my surgery date!!!!!!!!!   Anyways, I keep thinking about how much energy I will have.

Hello again, isn't it funny how when you go to look at everyones profile there sure are alot more entries for pre op than post op, I guess everyone just gets so caught up in being free. Anyways I have 6 days until we leave for Colombia, and 8 more days until surgery. It has been so hard for me to try and stop smoking, and if you have never smoked before, its just as hard as losing weight. I have got it down to 3 a day, but have to be down to nada by tomorrow. I know I can do this. Anyways, can't wait. If this is the last time I write before I leave, I will see you all on the flip side.

                                                                

                                                                                                                           August 21,2006


Well We are leaving for Colombia tomorrow. Thanks to the ones who have sent encouragment to me. I appreciate it. I am so blessed with my family, I believe that Christ has given me peace about the surgery and I Praise Him that every thing will be great. The thing I hate the most is leaving my daughter for so long, but she has the greatest Meme in the universe, so I know all will be well. SUPER EXCITED!!! Anyways this Thurday at 9am is my surgery, for all of you saints out there. Talk to you as soon as I'm running again.

Hey everyone. Everything went perfect, the surgery, the recovery, my wounds have almost healed allready. I feel great, besides the fact of how tired I get so easily. I just keep thinking about food, I never realized how addicted I am. I long for a cheese burger, spagettii, pizza, anything I acctually have to chew. Anyways, I am sticking straight to my docs orders, I have not smoked in 11 days, and I have not had anything I am not suppose to. It's great to be back home to my family. I never want to be away from my baby girl that long ever again. As of this morning which is 11 days after my surgery, I have lost 29 pounds!!!! Crazy huh!!! Doc said I should lose about 32 pounds in the first month, but I know I will pass that. Well I just went walking, and I am zonked talk again later.

HOLY MONKEY!!!!! This last week has been a doozy! First I got so tired I couldn't even get out of bed, so I went to my PCP he did some lab and said i had a bacterial infection and gave me an antibiotic. It was a one time dose, and time released!!!! OMG!!!! I have never felt so sick in all my life. I couldn't even look at, hear about, smell, or anything food without getting sick. That included my drinks, so I was getting nothing!!! All weekend long. Then I started drinking gatorade, I could only handle the red one. Then one Monday I went right back to the doc and told him what had happened, he did a UA and said I had a UTI. So he gave me another antibiotic, I asked if it was time released, and had to explain to him that my pouch could no longer absorb it!!!!!! So this one is still gross, but I only have to take a teaspoon 3x a day! I still can't handle anything food, except the red gatorade, so I ordered some "juice protein drinks" still waiting on that. My pouch is so sensitive, and I think a little scared of getting anything else so horrid! I have lost 36lbs so far in 3 weeks. I am still trying to recouperate, just thought I would update while I could.

                                                       

                                                                                                               September 27, 2006


Okey Dokey, well I lost the UTI Thank the Lord!!! So I slowly started to add some jello, no sir! It stayed right in my throat, threw up for the next 6 hours, tried some protein drink, nope. It stayed in my throat, threw up for the next 4 hours. I swore that the only thing toching my mouth for now is tea,water,and gatorade. I got some anti-nausea medicine from PCP and tried some gravy, wrong again! This time it lasted into the next day. So now I have an appointment with a GI tomorow to see if I have a stricture. I have now lost 51 pounds, but fear that some of that is muscle. I am very ready to be strong and be able to exercise, or even do the house work without collapsing. Still part of the "why did I do this" club. Let everyone know what happens tomorow. Hey I just realized I am now out of the super obese, and now I am just Obese!! Wohoo. I am throwing up everything even water. Something is very wrong!

                                                         

                                                                                                                    October 11,2006


Well okey dokey sports fans here goes. I went to the "doc" and they tried to do an endoscopy without giving me the happy gas!! I fought with all my might, I thought to myself everyone on the web site said it was a brezze! Anyways I tore off the IV and told my mom I didn't care anymore, I just wanted to go home and go to bed. My mother took me home where I asked her to take my 3 year old because I could not do it. What I meant by it was everything I guess, because the next thing I knew my mom is dragging me to the ER at our local hospital where she told them I could barely stay consious (sp?) They said I was severly dehydrated and my pacrrease was trying to shut down. They addmitted me and That is where I stayed for 4 days they pumped me full of liquids and said that was all they could do for me. My mother was calling all over the place to try and find me a doc that knew what he was doing. (my mother is not happy with the docs in Colombia, but thats another chapter) My mother was crying and praying and she got the whim to call an old friend of the family that had nothing to do with this surgery?!?!?! Anyways she just happened to know a lady that had surgery in Mexico and when she returned she had to find a doc to follow up with and she found a wonderful doctor, so mom called her. Robin said the doctor was Doctor Warnock in Wichita Falls, about 6 hours away. Mom called and he wanted us there now! Mom dragged me to the car, and off we were. Doctor Warnock told me exactly what was wrong, told me why I was spitting up foam all the time, and why I could not keep anything down, and then he hugged me, I lost it! I have never had a male "father type" in my life to be so kind and understanding. He admitted me and they assured me that I would be out for the endoscopy, which I was. They said my stomach was completly closed off heading into my small intestine. They had to use a catherdar wire to get in where the hole was suppose to be. They dilated it slightly. They said my protein, calcium, magnesium, hydration, and pottasium was scarcly low. The day after I was admitted in the hospital my hands and feet drew up like I had a stroke, but the doctor said it was from my calcium, and magnesium being so low. They gave me a pic line to my heart and started the fluids. I came home on saturday the 7th. I will return this monday to have another dilation. I am able to keep down liquids now, and I tried some refried beans, and they went down and stayed down, but i feel so full after eating solids, even though it was 2 teaspoons of beans, so I have decided to stick with liquids for now. Well see after the next dilation. I am trying so hard to get all my water and protein down, but it seems impossiable. I know that the "exit hole" is still so small so maybe thats why I feel so full while trying to drink all Im suppose to. I feel sooooooo much better now, I have some new found energy, and I can get everything done in the day. I still am smoke free (48 days) my hair and nails look amazing. I did gain some weight back from the IV but am still at 45 pounds down in 48 days. Not bad if you ask me. Thank God for my greatest mom in the world, thank God for Doctor Warnock also. This is a side note but my husband kept the house super amazing while I was in the hospital, I got home and the laundry was all done, house was spotless, and he had managed to get some "extra" things done as well, this and work 60 hours each week. I love you Mom, I love you Daddy, and a big thank you to my 3 year old for having to be so patient while momma was in the hospital. I love you pumpkin dilly. My brother was so caring, and concerned, I felt very loved in my down time.Love you guys,Love Me. I have an amazing family.

                                                                

                                                                                                                        October 19, 2006

I feel so much better. I just went yesterday and they stretched my pouch again, and I have to go back in 3 weeks for another stretch. I thank God for allowing my mother to find Dr. Warnock, and I thank God for my mother.My entire family is so great. I love you guys.

Well tomorow will be 2 months since my surgery, and it is only by the grace of God, and my Mom that everything is going well, now. I just had my 2nd dilation and will go back on Nov 6th for the 3rd one. I can eat eggs, chilli, beans, liquid cheese, tuna is too dry, popsicles, broth, soup, and thats about what I stay with for now. Some of that takes me forever to eat because of all the chewing I have to do to make sure its teeny tiny. I am soooo glad I can keep it down though. I would chew until my jaw dropped off if I had to as long as it would stay down. My mother received a scripture from my heavenly Father yesterday. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an unexpected end.  I received it into my heart and soul and have used it often since. I told Jerry I have a real issue with death since the surgery, and my complications. But I know that my Father is not out to get me. Praise God for his never failing love. I have lost 58 pounds so far, in 2 months!!! I joined Curves yesterday, which I Love. My next goal is to have 100 pounds off by my 29th birthday which is January 18th. So that gives me 85 days to lose another 42 pounds, I bet I can do it. I'm drinking my protein, drinking my water, working out, and all I eat is full of protein, I can't chew vitamins yet, but mom bought me some that absorbs through my skin, so I'm getting that. I have not smoked in 2 months,I have not had a coke (diet or regular) in 2 months, I have not bitten my nails in 2 months, my hair is growing and not falling out, I feel great, I've lost 58 pounds, Jerry and Courtney are eating healthier, and Jerry is trying to stop smoking and he's doing a great job. I praise God for my Mom, and for Dr. Warnock, and for always keeping me safe during my dilations. I am so blessed. TNT  Bekah

I had my 3rd dilation, which went great, but my GI said he thinks that doc Warnock should go back in and redo the entire procedure!!! That was not what I was wanting to hear. Yesterday I went to see Dr. Warnocl and he said that he wanted to see how I was doing first. I will call him in 3 weeks and let him know how everything is, and if all is well then he doesn't want to see me until February!!! As long as I am keeping my protein, water, and baby foods down I'm good. I have now lost 67 pounds as of this morning, I try to only weigh every other day, but it is very addictive. I love the scale!!!! I only have 33 more pounds to go for 100 pounds and it hasn't even been 3 months. 100 pounds was my goal for my 29th birthday which is in January. Yeah I know I'm gonna make that one. I have so much to be thankful for: My Mom, my husband, my ever caring brother, my beautiful daughter, all of my family, Dr. Warnock, my heavenly Father sending peacful thoughts to me (jerimiah 29:11) my body of Christ at church, my health, my energy, my new forming beauty. I think I'm gonna be a cutie when all this extra weight gets off!!! Who woulda thunk it. I am now 75 days smoke free, caffeine free, sugar free, don't bite my nails, hair looks great, and I FEEL GREAT!!!!  Thank You Lord for all your many blessings.

Well I have offically hit my first plautea. I have been stuck at a loss of 68 pounds for the last week and a half. That's cool. I know this is not the end. I know my body is just trying to catch up. That's cool. OOOOOHHHH hey guess what I can eat Gravy now!!!!!!! It's so warm, and fulfilling, I know it has a low protein count but it is so nice to be able to "order" something when we go out. I will put inches lost next time I write. Beks

                                                                                         

                                                                                                             November 26, 2006

I have lost 73 pounds, and 42 inches! Awesome. I can eat mashed potatoes, some stuffing, gravy, jello,popsicles,my protein shake,water, and all of it stays down, which I can deal with. Some days are harder than others, I really miss food some times, but I know God is not surprised by any of this, He directed my days before time began, and I know it will not last forever. Thank-You Father. I made it through Thanksgiving, it was okay. I don't think I have ever eaten so little. Bring on Christmas!!!   Love Bekah

                                                                                                           January 10, 2006

Everything is going great. I have lost 90 pounds as of this morning. I will be cutting it close if I get the 100 by my birthday, but as long as I get it in January I'm good with that. Man the 3rd month after surgery really sucks!!! The first plateau, the first major slow down in weight loss, start losing your hair, emotions going crazy! You've lost alot of weight, but your still not "super model" material, even though you feel like it. :O)  I am starting to broaden my food intake, starting to not be so afraid to "try" something. I tried a tiny piece of chicken nugget yesterday, and after chewing it for about 4 minutes it went down pretty good!!!!  Yipeeee!! I have found I am not comfortable going out to eat, because it still hurts when I sit and eat, I have to be up walking around, giving my pouch all the room it wants. Cranky Thing!!!  Anyways, I go for my 5th Dilation on February 5th, and I think the Doc thinks that will it!!!!!!!!!  This is how it has gone so far:

When I was admitted into the hospital I was at 0 mm they stretched me to a 1 mm. Then when they went in the 2nd time I had closed up to a 0.5 mm so they stretched me to a 3 mm. Then when they went in the 3rd time I had closed back up to a 1.5 mm, and they were able to stretch me to a 5 mm. Then when they went in the 4th time I had not closed back, so they stretched me to a 10 mm. The "normal" post surgery stomach exit is a 12 mm. I am sure they will stretch me this next time to a 15 mm. That a way just in case I close up any at all there will be "extra" room. Cool with me, that just means I get to eat!!! I hope nobody is reading this thinking man she hasn't learned how to eat right at all. You go without any food for almost 5 months now, and then you tell me how and what your thinking about!!  Its not like I can stuff myself anymore anyway. I will not ever feel guilty about eating ever again for the rest of my life, what a pleasure I took for granted. I miss it, and I would never wish strictures on anybody!!! I just hope that writting about it will help someone who does have to face it in the future that reads this. Some people ask me if I would do this surgery again....... It really depends on which day you ask me. Like today I woke up lost 2 more pounds, my makeup looks perfect, I was able to slip into my new skirt, never got hungry during the day, I was able to "drink" my vitamin without gagging, got all 80grams of protein down, and made a dent on my water. Of course I would have this surgery again, sure there would be things I would do diffrent, but yes I would have it done again. But if you would have asked me last week, when I was trying to eat out with my family and mashed potatoes  hurt going down, then I had to "get rid of them" while my family finished there full course meal w/dessert, I felt huge because the new skirt would not fit, I cryed all day, my hair looked like it was being held in by 2 strands and those 2 strands need to be dyed!!!! NO NO NO I wish I had never had this surgery!!! I wish I would have stuck out my last diet, done it the "old fashion" way. Yet I know that when I get something in my head, looking back on my life it usually gets done, except with my weight, it felt like my last shot. I don't want to think about what would I would do if I could go back, I just want to think about what I will do today. I love my life again, and today was a great day.              Bekah

This shows how easily one day can change your point of view. You know that feeling when something happens to you, and you want to tell the entire world just so they can have sympathy for you, but you know if you tell anybody you'll regret it forever!! Well that has been my day, something happened that was very devistating, and the cut still burns. What am I suppose to do? I just want to lay in bed and cry, until I have it all out. I don't want anybody to touch or talk to me. I have been hurt beyond repair right now, and nobody can make it better right now. I have so many things on my mind right now, my health, finances, my family, my children, my husband working nights,  and this was not suppose to happen, why did this happen, am I not going through enough that this happens too!! I am so mad, and then the madness leaves to uncover something even worse, deppression. Why should I even try? Even in talking here I have to be very careful of what I say. Man, I feel like crawling into a dark corner, with no one around, and sitting and crying there, until I make a decision of what to do. Why does crap like this have to happen, 3 days before my birthday, and it has to be tarnished with crap like this. I'm trying to be everything to everyone, but it doesn't seem to be good enough, I'm about to say why bother with this, I've been through enough, that's it I'm DONE!!!

 

 

                                                             January 22, 2007

Well my last entry was a very hard time. I felt so alone, but I had to rely upon my heavenly Father more than I ever have before in my life. Sometimes he brings us to a point in our lives where the only one we can trust and tell the entire truth to is him. He told me how to work things out, and even though I had to swallow my pride and do something I did not want to do, I did it, and everything worked out for the greatest. My birthday was the worst birthday I have ever had. Emotionally that is. I am now down 92 pounds as of yesterday morning. I am going to post my 5 month stats on Thursday. OOOOOOOOO I have to tell you, Sunday I was getting ready for church and I was trying on so many things, and nothing seemed to fit the way that I wanted it to, so just out of curiosity I tried on the size 14 dress that my grandma bought me for Mother's Day 2 years ago that I have never been able to fit into. IT FIT!!!!!!! Not just fit it slide on like it was talore made for me!!! I could barley tell you what the Pastor talked about because I was so happy at looking at myself!! Then we were named the family of the week, and my dearest friends took us out to Lunch where I had cheese sticks and they went down wonderfully. It was a great day. Talk to you on Thursday.                       Beks

I made 100 pounds on the 15th of this month! Yippee! I have been so busy latley my husband is about to have back surgery, and my daughter is about to have her tonsils taken out. I have all the faith in the world that everything will be great, but all the running around to get everything ready is exhausting. I had my 5th dialation, everything went great, he said I did not close any, but it seems like when I'm about to start my monthly cycle I feel like my uterus swells, and pushes on my pouch which makes it harder to swallow. I also become the most evil person at that time, so I started taking cymbalta, which has helped tremendously. Its a capsule so I can just take whats inside the pill. I ate a salad sunday, which was heavenly. Still dont have chicken down, its too dry, but I am still very cautious about what I put in my mouth! I am not getting in all my water, and I dont exercise like I know I should. I know I know shame on me. Doctor Warnock says he wants me to lose 30 more pounds then we'll talk about cutting off the skin. Awesome! I am about to hit 6 months, and SPRING is almost here!!! I love spring. HAPPY SPRING!!!        Bekah

 

                                             March 24, 2007

Well today marks 7 months for me, and I can finnally say, I'm glad I did it. I have been getting so much attention lately from guys! It's still weird to me, and yes I have been a good girl and remebering that I'm married! I have now lost 113 lbs, and 76 inches total. I want to lose another 47 lbs. Dr. Warnock is talking about a tummy tuck, which will also raise my butt up. The only other areas that bother me are my inner thighs, the backs of my arms, and my "side boobs" you know what I'm talking about!!! :O) Well I can eat alot of stuff now, All Praise be to God! This surgery would have ended my life had it not been for Christ, my momma, my good friend Sue, and Dr. Warnock. I thank You all for allowing Christ to lead you to help me, I love you all. I feel great. My mood has improved, but that is in part to medication, oh well its working wonderfully. I have so much more energy, I don't drink my water like I'm suppose to, and I don't exercise consistantly, I am trying to get in more protein through food, lately instead of the drinks. I will get some recent pictures on in the next month or so. Happy Losing!      Bekah

 

 

                                              April 4, 2007

Thought since I was online I would update. I have learned so many lessons over the last week, and some I'm still pondering about. Was this new body worth it? I love it, but am not use to it. I feel so hot right now, and I have always been a very sexual person, but now I have the body that goes with what I want to do, so its confusing right now. Anyways, some of you know what I'm talking about and some of you don't know what in God's name I'm talking about. So what ever, I have now lost 122 pounds, I am finnally in the 1s and I have 38 more punds I want to lose to see how that looks, being 5'10" I can pull that off, Dr. Warnock only wants me to get down to 190, and then he'll cut off the skin, but hey when your losing your losing, right. Anyways I'm rambling to kill time, so better go for now. Later         Beks

This last few weeks have been so crazy! My life is very confusing, and dramatic! I have now lost 128 pounds, and I started smoking again, because of all the stress, yeah I know!! I thank God for saving my life. I love life, but I don't much love me lately. I miss my husband so much being at work all the time, why can't they just pay him for staying at home with me???? :O)  Anyways, just bummed tonight, I guess. Beks

OMG!!!  Jerry, my friend Hannah, Jerry's friend David, and I went out this last saturday, and we had so much fun!!! SOOOOOOOOO many guys hit on me!!! While Hannah and I were playing pool I was getting loud, and getting crazy, and everyone was smiling at me instead of looking at me like I was some loud cow!!!! OMG we had so much fun, I sat on Jerry's lap at the bar, and no one stared like I was killing him, and so many girls were giving me dirty looks, I loved every minute of it!!! 6 guys asked for my number! 6!!!!!! Guys were coming over asking if they could play pool with me, and some were stirring while I was taking shots.   :O)    I had so much fun, and I felt sooooo HOT!!!!!!   Well I passed out today because I haven't eaten in a couple days, but Jerry made me a protein shake, and I drank it, and I feel better now, woops!  Anyways, just wanted to brag about my saturday night.    Bekah

Well we just got back from vacation, it was super fun, and now that i think about it never once did i get tired, or have to sit down, we went horseback riding, and to wet-n-wild fun park, and explored an under ground cave, and went to a petting zoo, and shopped in every town we came to. We didnt fight, except one night when we were really tired, and one the road for the longest, Jerry went to the doctor and he did not recommend surgery, but refered us to another doctor that is a pain specialist, so I will be setting that up soon. Courtney had a blast, she said we should stay on vacation. Jamela did not get to come with us this year because of legalities, but next year I know! I only lost 3 pounds this month, and I have been eating almost every day now, so I get kinda bummed that I won't be able to loss that last few pounds, but Dr. Warnock says he does not want me to loss any more weight, and when he cuts the extra skin off, it will be about 30 pounds, so that will put me at 145, which is no where near where I thought I should end up, but He wants me to start weigt training, so I can tone some, so I will begin that soon. Everything is going great now, I have started a bad habit of Dr.Peppers lately, so I have been fighting that urge , but its getting better now, that I have got back to my water. Again through this fight to get my life back, I want to thank my Mom, and heavenly Father for all the love, and protection, and for being my best freind! I love You. Bekah

Well almost a year out, and ain't life about a bitch! I loved my life and hated my body before surgery, and now its the other way around!! I feel like I have no idea who I am, I llok in the mirror, and don't recognize myself, I look in my heart and have no idea who that is. I enjoy life but have not come to terms with my new body, love my husband, love my child, my mom, Christ, but I trust no one, including myself. About anything!!!! Don't know if this is just crazy feelings or normal, not really in the mood to find out either, so screw it, right! Anyways, just in a mood I guess, everybody's been telling me how I'm dressing wrong, not being a perfect mother, wife, etc... whatever I give 110% to my daughter everyday, so whatever. screw it!!!!

Weeheww! I was moody last post!! Cranky!! :O)  Anyways, this surgery will change every aspect of your life, and thinking, and make you crazy after the fact, but it's all good. Things are great now. I remember plateaus in my weight, and my body had to catch up with my weight, but now my mind has to catch up with my body, but I think I'm there, or atleast gettin' there! This past weekend Jerry and I went out for halloween and I dressed up like a french maid, and looked DAMN GOOD!!!!!! This is the 1st halloween as an adult that I've dressed up, it was so much fun!! I'll post pics after I get them back. Life is good, don't get me wrong this year was so crazy, and confussing, but things are getting back to being great :O)

Well so many of my fellow OH friends have been emailing me and letting me know how they feel about my weight loss, it seems like only a few months ago that I started this, isn't that crazy, in the beggining it seemed to take forever, but now it seems like time flew by.  Well for all of you keeping track heres the low down:      I started in a size 28/30 size 11 shoe,  now I am in a size 8/9 and a size 8 1/2 shoe.   I will have my PS on February 26th, and I have no idea what size that will put me in. I do have loose skin on my abdomin, that doc says is pretty significant, my arms really dont bother me, after I kinda "stopped" loosing it seemed alot worse, but as I strength exercise they get better. I would love to have my inner thighs done, but doc says that will greatly improve with the PS I will have done in Feb. So we will see. I have lost almost all my boobs, and when I am on all 4s I look a cow with 6 utters!!! ;o)  But hey I'm a healthy cow now right!  I can figure that one out after I get this tummy fixed, wouldn't mind having a little extra put back into them, and getting them back in the right place.  HAHAHA    Anyways, things are good, things are diffrent, everyday, in every way. Thats the truest thing I can say about that.    (I'm Forest Gump now?!?)    Anyways      L8R                Bekah
