Glad to be back. Needed to be.  I'm 240.

From Lupron depot shots, to crazy vitamin deficiencies, to depression, binging, and bad food choices...

I'm still here. Starting over :)

I've lost 100 lbs. I will give myself credit. 

Tomorrow when I wake up I'll be good. 

I looked back at my previous blog and was laughing out loud at the fact that I said my surgery was etched in stone, but that I was penciled in. Lol! 

That didn't even make any sense! 

Well I can tell you that that surgery was not etched in stone, literally was just penciled in. Sort of! I did not have surgery on March 19, 2014. It was scheduled but things took a turn for something a little different. On March 10, 2014 they found it Ulcer after the endoscopy that I had. Postponed the mess out of my surgery. But finally after an additional 10 weeks of treatment with protonix, that's stupid ulcers gone and I'm etched in stone for surgery on July 17, 2014. I've done everything that I needed to do to lead up to this. It took 19 months to get here but I am here!!!

Its crazy how time flies! 10 weeks ago I could've had surgery. They could've opened me up and literally I could've had complications just from the ulcer alone. Nothing is promised to us, and obviously my surgery in March was postponed for a reason. All I know is that it's time. 

So let's get this party started right. Woo hoo! 

I was "penciled" in for a month. Now it's legit!!!!!!!

3/19/14. 

Here we come!!!!

i can't wait to tell my family!

Just kidding lol!! Anyway, 

I finally bought my first blender AND protein shake by Pure Protein, creamy vanilla. This is so becoming real to me. It was real but damn it's REAL. the blender I ordered from Walmart.com, and the powder from Amazon. I got the powder in the mail yesterday, and the blender comes today :-) 

I've also found at least 100 recipes for protein smoothies and shakes. Everyday my arsenal becomes longer and longer! I'm so proud that I'm still sticking with it. 

I am so excited about my journey. So many things I wanna do and change. Well see what happens....

I'm sick. I have otitis externa in BOTH ears, and it's not subsiding, so this Frikkin sucks. I also have been diagnosed with a fatty infiltrated liver. THE LAST thing I thought could happen to me. Also I have a adnexal cyst on my right ovary. All of these medications that I've been taking have caused me to gain a lot of water weight. One day, I won't say tht these kind of things are wrong with me. One day, I'll have a good and healthy day. I'm hopeful of that. 

I also am in my 4th month of the Bariatric Program with my insurance company! I have my second supervised nutrition visit on the -18th of this month and I hope it goes well. I really want to have this surgery. Seriously. I still do tons and tons of research...everyday I add bookmarks to my ipad. I feel like I'm in school again lol!

until tomorrow. 

If you're reading this, you can look me up on YouTube. My handle. Is Mona Love :-)

I feel like crap today. Like for real. I hope I don't have a kidney stone because my back hurts soooo bad. I am proud of myself though...I bought a wii over the last weekend and I'm happy about it.  I needed to do something to move around more, so far I love it! Seriously though, I have to go because I feel like 

talk to you all later!

Today is the beginning of my new world. I went to the Weight Loss Surgery 1 Class! It was about an hour long, and it was so exciting to me. I did find out that I weigh more than I thought...and my home scale was way off around 10 lbs! 

*putting a new scale on my list*

All I can say is I feel GOOD today. :-)

More to come... 

No I'm not preggo LOL! I dvr'd a show on Discovery Health called Obese and Pregnant. 

This is no bueno. 

I can barely do the stuff now that I need to do as morbidly obese, I couldn't imagine being preggo. Not at over 300 lbs. 

This is another reason why I decided to go with this process of WLS. I am 32, and I want to have kids one day. I know weightloss will increase my chances greatly. I swear I feel so bad for these ladies. Diabetes, being hospitalized because of extreme swelling, breathing issues? I know that those things can happen regardless of weight, but they HAVE to be ten times worse on your body as an extremely obese person. I don't want to go through that. Ever.

My first appointment is Monday everyone! Here we go!!! 

So today, I'm chilling with my dad, step mom, my brother and his gf. We are having a good time and I'm great fil to spend this time with them!!! I told my brother about my decision to pursue the journey for WLS, and he said he was proud of me and whatever works, do it. He said that he just wants be to be sure that I want to do it, and he supports me. Didn't really get into it with my parents  other than. Y mommy yet. Sometimes you have to choose when to say things, no sweat! I'll talk to them about it when I'm ready. :-)

I'm so glad it's Saturday!!!

Today I had a crappy day at work. People are truly so crazy!!!!

Positively: I'm so excited for my first nutritionist appointment coming up soon! I am on so many good sites too about WLS that its amazing.  I never knew that I could find so much information on it in a milion years.  This is going to be a great experience for me, I already know it.

I watched some (just a few) vids on YT regarding gastric bypass, and it had so many mixed reviews. I'm so glad that I have an open mind, and a mind of my own because I'm looking at the positive things to come with the surgery.  I've had a good ol' long run with food, that its definitely something that is going to happen for me, and I gotta do what i have to in order to get me, Mona...back on track.  Short blog today, see you tomorrow!
