03/01/07- MY 1st WOW moment 03/10/07- 5th month
I can't begin to tell you what my awesome, supportive, beautiful, sexy, good looking dear husband (DH) did for me today and just because. Our 10 year anniversary is creeping up on the 6th of March we have been married since we were 18 and 19 years old. Anyways, guess what he did today. He brought me an incredible surprise. He went to the mall during lunch and happened to go into
03/03/07- Today was weigh in day
Thank god it was a very good weigh in day. I lost another 4 pounds very happy about those 4 pounds b/c they helped me meet a very special goal. I finally weigh less than my husband not by much but I weigh less by two pounds. I really wanted to weigh less already...LOL!!! I go to starbucks and get a special treat SF FF Caramel Macchiato it is awesome I add my protein to it. So I get 37 grams of protein start from that drink. They don't have SF caramel but the put 2 pumps of SF vanilla and I provide the protein & the SF Caramel I bought from Davinci syrups...It is awesome it is made with splenda. It is my treat...Might I add it is a healthy and guilt free treat. Oh I also do it decaf...Well Next I need to tackle the next 14 pounds to reach the 100 "century mark" I will start prepping my century card...LOL! J/K...maybe not...LOL
I am SSSOOO very happy. I have reached 90 pounds lost today. Who would have thought in 5 months 90 pounds gone forever. I will be doing my pics & measurements hopefully tomorrow but you know how that goes it doesn't always go as I plan. I truly have been blessed to lose so quickly. I have had a few little stalls but nothing major yet. I have also been on Lexapro for about 2 yrs and Welbutrin for about a month now it is has not stopped my weight loss...(Knock on wood...LOL!) I would really like to reach 100-105 pounds lost by my 6th month, I truly think I can do it! Thank you all for reading and if you wish to e-mail me with comments, questions or concerns please do so.

03/15/07 5th month check up
A few things are a bit off. My potassium is at 3.2 the last time I did labs in Jan 07 potassium was at 3.7 I have started slacking in the OJ/Water daily and my 10mg of Klor-Con daily. So I feel this is completely my fault. The other thing that is a little weird is my calcium level is good however something in my lab results show that the calcium is being pulled from my bones, which is a big NO NO. My nut has me drinking 1500mg of calcium a day and if I get back on my OJ/Water it also has calcium and vitamin D. My Nurse practioner said that my weight loss is going very well as did my doctor I told him I wanted to lose another 70 pounds he said he believes I can accomplish that. I also believe in me too. My iron, protien and hemoglobin is all doing very well. B Vitamins are all were they need to be. So the things I need to do are not that hard.
03/17/07- Happy St. Patrick's Day
I weighed in today and only lost one pound I am down to 225. I am happy and upset at the same time. However, I know I have lost inches I started the gym again this week at 5am in the morning with my DH. It has been great. I put on a pair of jeans non-strech materiels. It was the jeans that I wore after giving birth to my son which while I was prego I had gallstones so I lost 60 pounds during the pregnancy and ended up weighing after the surgery of my gallbadder removal 220 pounds. I was able to get in those jeans easily and they looked great. I partied in them all of st. patty's day...YEY!
03/19/07- Low Potassium again
I got out of the hospital at 4am this morning. My potassium was at 2.8 they gave me some huge potassium pills that made my throat sore. It was 80 grams of potassium by 7am this morning. They also have me drinking 10mg twice a day now. Along with the 1500mg with my vits OJ and all other medicnes I need to take. Keep you all posted.
03/24/07- No weight loss
I am 5 month 2 weeks and as you know if you've read from the bottom and now up here...I weigh in on Saturday's. Last Saturday I had lost a pound, this week I gained the pound I lost. I am sad b/c it is the 1st time in 5 months and 2 weeks that I have a gain. I know my hunger has returned...and I really have to fight with my choices again. I ate many frozen foods this passed week and they are high in sodium and I do believe my period is lurking right around the corner. However, I will not make fat girl excuses. I need to be very careful with what I intake...Alcohol is not the best thing to intake I will tell you from my experience it will make you slow your weight loss and even make you gain weight. I don't drink often and to tell you the truth in 5 months I have drank twice. The 1st time was at New Years I was 11 weeks out. I drank VERY little but it got me tipsy really fast. However, for St. Patty's mind you I'm not even IRISH...LOL I got really drunk I drank alot and it could be the reason my weight loss stalled and now I gained a pound. (PLEASE NOTE I am being very OPEN with everyone here...And if you are reading this take it for what its worth and do not judge me) I am sharing my experience and of course you are reading...MY Journey...LOL! Anyway, I went to the hospital as you saw however it was not due to the drinking b/c I didn't have diarreah or throw up, which is what the ER doctor told me. He said that is the old way your potassium could go down if you lose it that way and I didn't at all. Anyway- I had a great time and I don't regret it, however it will be a long time before I do this again...my health and weight loss means much more to me than a night of drunk fun!!! BTW my DH is always the DD so I always drink responsibliy. Thanks for reading...talk to you soon.
03/31/07- The stall is over YEY!!!
Well I gained a pound last week but this week I lost 6 AWESOME!!! I am sssssoooo very happy. I am only 4 pounds away from joining the century club...However, this week aunt flo will come for a visit. I really had a mental goal of making it to -100pounds by my 6month surgeryversity...and I think I just might make it!!! I am so excited.

I was very nauseous and depressed thanks to the way I was feeling. NO LIE as of Christmas Day I have been doing MUCH better and no more nausea and no more gagging every two seconds. I had dry heaves REALLY bad due to the nausea I couldn't even eat, Just the thought of food would make me gag. I went to the hospital b/c I was very dehydrated.

My grandma was in the hospital and my mom which takes care of the kids at the time we go to the gym 5am was not home for us. This weekend on 01/28 I had to go to the hospital for bronchitis. They gave me zythromax and this medicine for coughing that knocks me out. Anyway, I am full of energy sometimes having trouble falling asleep at night.

I was going nuts this week b/c I know I am getting close to weighing what my husband weighs. So this morning I had my husband get on the scale and he is 10 pounds lighter than I am. I am so excited I can't wait till I am closer to his weight. I had a lot of anxiety, I have behaved great this week but I was scared of being in a plateau b/c I wanted to hit the 70 mark loss in 3 months I did better I hit the 73 mark....YEY for me!!!!!!!!!! We are ready to go to the gym again. I can't wait!! I bought a bike today. So my husband, son and daughter can all go bike riding. We are going to have so much fun.

02/14/07- HAPPY VALENTINE'S
I had such a great Valentine. My hunny bought me these beautiful white to light pink roses. Then he cooked for me, which is no uncommon but... He went to publix bought dreamfield pasta which is very low in carbs and sugar only 5 net carbs and he made it with yummy small meatballs. Then he gave me a card, which was really adorable. He said he was going to give me a gift that makes me sleep like a baby. I thought he was fooling around, Well guess what since my hips don't have much fat on them anymore, my hips hurt in the morning. He bought me memory foam for our pillow top. I did sleep great. He is awesome and I love him with all my heart. Today is 02/15/07 and I am going to take my four month pics and post them hopefully tonight. I will let everyone on the forum in the main board know.

02/24/07- Weigh in "Feeling Blue"
I am so BLUE! I know I am being selfish or better said greedy but this is the 1st time in a long time that I weigh in and I have only lost one pound. I am happy I at least lost one pound and didn't stay at the same weight. For the last 8 days I had diarrhea b/c of the augmentin (anti-biotic I was on) I think my body might be replenishing what it had lost in the time of the diarrhea. Therefore, I didn't lose as much. But you know I am a little worried that my weight slowed down b/c of the wellbutrin. I started taking about 3 weeks ago. I posted on here and got many different opinions. Which lead me to believe that I had to wait to check how it would react with me? My body could just be adjusting since I have lost 82 pounds in 4 1/2 months.
However, I am going to do a couple things differently this week. I am going to increase my protein which I have already started.
* I added a protein drink a day.
* I am going to increase my exercise from just going up and down the stairs a work, to really going to the gym.
* I have been eating well therefore, I am okay there
*I'm going to increase my water intake.
02/26/07- 7yr old with Chicken POXs
I am close to crying today. My 7yr old has chicken pox my 2 yr old has never had them. My job deals with Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses which take care of patients that have AIDS, Cancer, Diabetes, Open Wound care; therefore, my employer has told me I can not come in to work until my sons Chicken POX go away so almost 2 weeks and if my daughter gets it I'll be out a whole month. I don't know how we will pay the bills especially with the 1st rolling right around. =(
I will keep you all posted.
Obesity is a disease
The more I think about the surgery the more I know that this is the best thing I will do for myself. I have no second thoughts about this…This is an absolute must for me. But what I keep thinking about is why some people choose to believe that this surgery, process, life style change is by any means an “easy way out”. How can this be an easy way out? I am about to change everything about my life. The way I deal with stress, sadness, boredom, happiness, joy, & social situations. I am giving up my friend, my comfort, & my way of life. I will never again be able to abuse food. This is going to be a physical & psychological battle for me, and for anyone who is having this surgery…Easy way out?? NO. Sure Way out?? NO. Best possible chance to be healthy, Alive, and stay that way in the long term. YES. Obesity is a disease,
Obesity will kill me.
If I had cancer, would you look down on me and tell me that I am taking the easy way out because I choose to fight that disease with chemotherapy? Is that an easy way out or is it a solution to hopefully prolong your life?

11/02/06- 3 Weeks post op (3 pounds down) 11/29/06- Numb/Tingle/ Eye Twitching-- Heed all warning no matter how small.
Last week repeats itself except this week I am not upset. I am 3 weeks post op and I have lost 27 pounds. I think that’s pretty good. I also had to learn that every pound lost even if its one it adds up, it counts toward a bigger picture. As in rain, if one rain drop falls and then another it’s doesn't form a puddle; however when all the rain drops start to add up it forms a puddle--and my puddle is getting there...LOL! I am going to try to do things a little differently this week. I am going to really try to eat every 2 1/2 hours, get my protein and all fluids in. I have only been able to get 50oz in not 64oz. If you include the skim milk from my protein shakes then I have but I want to be able to get 64oz of solely water. I also need to start a routine of walking everyday. I have not been doing that. As far as food goes, I don't really get sick. I have tried ground beef was ok. I tried Lemon pepper chicken last night very little thought but was also okay. I think over all I am doing well. Alright, I will keep you posted to anything new.
11/03/06- 1st day at the gym!!
Let me start off by saying that I can not believe I didn't start doing this sooner. I went today to the gym and walked for 25 mins total to 1.15 mile. Then I went to the bicycle and rode for about another 5 mins. I am very proud of myself for my 1st day at the gym. My husband and I are going to start going together at about 5am. I'm not much of a morning person and I think it will be hard but if I could just keep this great feeling that exercise brings I will get up besides I could always take a nap...LOL! I'll schedule it in. I think the #1 thing everyone has to really grasp is that this is most definitely a TOOL...not a miracle. Keep you all posted to my progress.
11/06/06- Worried
It is Monday already and Wednesday the 8th is my husband’s trial. I am so worried and nervous. He was stopped over a year ago while try to sell his car...the cop assumed my husband was drag racing. I know my husband was not drag racing he is not that irresponsible. The worst case scenario is that he can go to jail for 60 days. This will cause him to be gone during Thanksgiving, His birthday, Christmas, and New Years, maybe even for Joshua's b-day. This is causing me so much stress. Well, I thought this would get easier as time went by but I can't stand the protein shakes hopefully my vials of Profect will get here today. I can't eat much. I drink lots of water for the most part about 50 to 60oz of water aside from any other liquid. I started the gym last week Friday. My husband went with me today at 5am. It was good. I walked for 1.5 miles in 30 minutes. Got my heart rate up to about 135. I have trouble eating ham and cheese rolled up...I think I might have eaten it too fast. Well I will keep you all posted on Wednesday as to what happens and then Thursday is my big day of weigh in after starting to exercise can't wait till this is all over.
11/08/06- NOT GUILTY!!!
My Precious angel was found not guilty. We were so worried but the judge ruled in his favor. I was so happy and such a load was lifted we were dealing with this for a whole year and 2 months. I thank god every minute that this is now officially over!!! Well, today I went to go do my blood work. I weighed myself this morning and haven't lost any weight but my AUNT FLOW is here, that bitch...LOL! I will put in my measurements tomorrow. Will keep you posted. Oh I almost forgot I got my Profect protein Blue Raspberry Swirl made a slushy with it and loved it!!! YEY finally a protein I like and 25grams in 3oz can't beat that!.
11/11/06- One month out measurements:
Arms- 22 inches same as last month
Chest- 47 inches- 1.5 inches less then last month
Bust- 52.5 inches- 2.5 inches less then last month
Waist- 51 inches- 4.5 inches less then last month
Hips- 59 inches- 1.5 inches less then last month
Legs- 31.5 inches same as last month
11/12/06- Aunt Flow left and took 5 pounds with her YEY!!!
I have lost a total 10 inches overall. I am very happy with my over all loss for one month. 32 pounds and 10 inches overall. This is great! I am going to bust my ass and try even harder to get things moving even more. I am going to take some pictures hopefully tomorrow. I will post them if they show some type of difference if they don't I will wait till next month and see if there is a difference and post then.
11/14/06- 1 month check up
Everything with my blood work was fine. Still at the same loss of 32. I will take the pictures of my one month today I haven't had a chance. Let's see if there is a difference. I was told before I work out I need to drink my protein shake or eat a yogurt. It's going to be tough to do that at 5am. Also, was told not to drink water while I work out to drink Gatorade any of them that have less than 12 sugars. The gummy Flintstones are okay but need to eat 4 of them a day and can not drink it with the prilosec in the morning. Lots learned today. Keep you all posted on pics.
11/18/06- 5 weeks
I have to say up until this point I have been beyond blessed. I have started taking in all my water and I am at about 60 grams of protein per day. This was a loss of another 5 pounds this week I am VERY happy. I would really like to be @ 266 pounds by Christmas. That is one of my short goals this will put me at -50 pounds since surgery.
11/27/06- Disney Trip
The eating at Disney was awful! I really should have been more prepared. I should have taken my own food and snacks. I ate to much a threw up. I didn't eat the wrong things I guess I just ate to much and too fast. Before I left to Disney I weighed myself and I was at 275. It was AWESOME!!! I will weigh myself again on Saturday this weekend and keep you posted.
I wanted to share my experience with everyone. I posted two days ago and asked if anyone had ever felt numbness and tingling with eye twitching in their faces. I also asked about the numbness in your hand. Not many people replied. I wanted to let you all know what it was and how serious something so little was. I went to the hospital that night as my NUT told me it could be vitamin B(1/6/or 12) deficiency and that it has to do with the neurological system because I was getting numb. Well, while in the hospital they advised me that my "B" vitamins were fine however my potassium was critical low and that I could go into cardiac arrest. Well when they put the IV in with the potassium I started to have a panic attack by hyperventilating and the numbness came on 100 fold. It was so strong I could not move my arms fingers legs toes and I couldn't even talk. It took 15 to 20 mins of me breathing in the mask to regain all my carbon dioxide and feel okay again. All the numbness and tingling along with the twitching of the eyes was mild hyperventilation. However, my potassium dropped from the normal of 3.5 to 2.3. It was hard to get me at the level I needed and now I have to take potassium pills daily. I still think all could have been MUCH worse if I ignored the small signs. I am TRUELY blessed.
"I Bruise Easily"
My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I cant hide the marks
Its not a negative thing
So I let down my guard
Drop my defences down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow
I bruise easily
So be gentle when you handle me
Theres a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface
Without moving me underneath
I bruise easily
I bruise easily
I found your fingerprints
On a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
All over this heart of mine too
But if I never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So im learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow
[Chorus]
Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you
So be gentle...
[Chorus]
I bruise easily
I bruise easily

10/14/06- Time to WALK WALK WALK!!!
Well Today I woke up better than yesterday. I was finally alble to sleep on my sides yeppie. It felt so good. I woke up ate my soup and off I went. My husband, two kids and my friend Vanessa from
10/15/06- Walking at Publix
Well we went to Publix today to do some groceries for the kids and me...Sugar free fat free...For everyone...LOL My kids were already on it before me. Bought some low moisture cheese for my soups, pudding jello sugar free. Today I am doing better than yesterday less gas less soreness. This is by far the BEST decision I have made along with my husband and his support. My mother & Father were also scared but they have been beyond supportive passed their fears. GOD HAS BLESSED me with all the precious gifts he has given me in life and I thank him daily. *** Also, I would like to give a special thanks to all that read my profile and prayed for me thank you all so much prayer is a very powerful tool!!!***
10/17/06- Another tube gone!
This was a great day. I went to the doctor and my JP DRAIN came out. I was so relieved. They dietician gave me a more open view of what I am allowed to eat and also told me I needed to eat more that I had been...go figure...LOL!!! I am due to go back to the doctor on Nov 14th. By the way, I have lost 17 pounds. I will keep you posted.
10/19/06- Weighed in for the total week LOST?????
My husband made me get off and on the scale like 3 times how funny. I lost a total of 21 pounds in one week I am so happy 21 pounds gone for good. My aunt hadn't seen me in about two weeks and as soon as she says me she said she could tell I had lost weight. I felt so good. I hope she wasn't being nice...LOL I do see a bit of a difference in my face already.
10/21/06- HEAD HUNGER
Let me just say...head hunger is by far the worst enemy of this process. Everyone around you eating normal and me on purees. It is mentally painful. Yesterday, my mom cooked one of my favorite meals homemade cheeseburgers and I wasn't hungry at all but the smell was so YUMMY. I do need to say however, 21 pounds lost is much better than eating that right now. I only have a few more weeks to go to be on solids. I will make the right PROTEIN decisions when its time.
10/23/06- SSSSSSSOOOOOO HARD
I have got to say it is getting sssssssssssoooooooo hard to eat these purees and crap that the anger is starting to come out. I would have to say I try my VERY hardest to put things in perspective on a regular bases but it is hard. This is by far the hardest part of the surgery--not the pain, not the GI juice, not the tube in the nose. I knew all those things would come and soon pass quickly. However, this is here to stay for another two weeks. The mental part of this process is by far the most difficult. Nothing could prepare you for this portion of the process pre-op. unless, you go threw the meal process before going into surgery, which I don't recommend anyone do this b/c it won't be the same. You will be hungry while doing this test and in reality you are not hungry after post-ops. I still DO NOT BY ANY MEANS REGRET the decision I have made.
10/25/06- Good News
I spoke with my doctor’s office yesterday and tomorrow I can introduce eggs back into my diet. It has been hard with just purees but I have done my very best to change it up with red beans, black beans, split pea, and chicken broth with grinded chicken and one potatoes. I'm Cuban what do you expect. These are the same purees we give our children when they are old enough to eat them. They are good but they get boring...LOL! I can have a few other things but have to be very careful in quantity--pasta, rice and toast. I will probably wait a little for the rice and pasta as I have been blessed this far with no throwing up. God is Good! Well I'll post again tomorrow with my weight loss for my 2 weeks.
10/26/06- 2 weeks post-op (3 pounds lost)
Well I got to say I am not the happiest with this weeks lost of only 3 pounds. I really would have liked to lose at least 5 to 7 pounds; however, I know I haven't been walking enough, I haven't wanted to eat much, and the intake of 64oz of water has been very challenging. I don't know if it’s the let down of not much weight loss but I don't feel too good today. My pouch is upset with me. Today I was given the go ahead to eat eggs and toast and I am going to wait because since I don't feel well I don't want to think it’s the food and it really isn't. This is just GREAT as if I don't feel bad enough my mother asked me how much I lost I told her and her remark was “Wow ssssooo little!" I felt like getting up from the chair and strangling her. I am really down. I am going to start walking daily as of Monday. I have been sleeping too much since I am not working right now and obviously not eating enough. It is such a struggle to eat. I never though this would be a problem for me. I don't want to eat. I will do my best to get the 3 meals and 3 snacks in moving forward. Well, I'll keep you all updated =(
10/30/06- Stressful day
I had to go with my husband to court. An undercover cop said he was drag racing more than a year ago--we've been back and forth with this. He was just trying to sell the car, which he did. Anyways, I only had a Popsicle in the morning. I couldn't even drink water I kept on having to go poop cuz I would get nervous and I really didn't want to be going to the bathroom in the court house. We have to go back to trial on Wednesday on next week after 2:30pm. Well, I finally ate and it hit like a bomb. I ended up throwing up for the 1st time. I didn't throw up a lot but I did throw up nasty. On a better note, I go back to work tomorrow. I am very happy about that so I can start waking up early and following my diet much closer. Sleeping till 11am was not very good. I will be weighing in on Thursday I'll keep you posted.
