4 MONTHS ALREADY???????????????

Aug 28, 2007

Well I can really say that time has been flying by. I have gotten into a slow mode. I have now lost 64 lbs. I am glad of that but I wish that it was like in the beginning. I was loosing on average a pound a day. But I can truly say without this tool I would not be on the loosing side. I started nibbling on BREAD; I will not be eating any more for a while. The last few of weeks it has been so hot that I haven't been walking. So I will be getting my butt up and walking in the morning. This is a must. We tend to find any little excuse. Mine are : the heat and my friend can't go. I am now weighing 203 by September, I will be under 200. Thats all for now, God Bless you ALL.

3 MONTH CHECK-UP!!!!

Jul 30, 2007

I HAVE LOST 57 LBS. I AM ABOUT TO BE UNDER 200 LBS. THE LAST TIME I WAS UNDER 200 LBS WAS IN 1990 IN THE 12th GRADE. MY IRON IS A LITTLE LOW, BUT I WILL START BACK TAKING MY PRENATAL VITAMINS.

YESTERDAY I GOT IN A SIZE 16 PANTS, I AM REALLY HAPPY.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL

HI EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have found myself not coming to post as usual as I use to come to the site. I will get better. The months prior to my having surgery this site was very helpful to me.

I have now lost 51 lbs. I am feeling just great. more energy and the selfesteem level is just great. my husband and i do more things together now and the is good. I like been in public more.

In two weeks I will be 3 months post-op. GOD has definitely blessed me. I thank GOD for Dr. Freeman and his staff, they are all like angels.

Until next time, May GOD continue to Bless you all.

2 MONTHS POST-OP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jun 27, 2007

Yesterday was my 2 month mark. I have lost 45 lbs now. I have been doing very well with tolerating foods. I think my favorite is steamed shrimp. It's lots of protein and stays down great. I still have a little trouble with protein shakes, but I am stil trying different things. I went to GNC I found a liquid protein I thinking of trying it in some unsweeten OJ.

I was wearing a size 24/26 now I am wearing a size 20. I think that I my be able to get into a 18 in a week or so. The other day I was still talking with my sister-in-law and guess what? I was able to cross my legs. I can't remember the last time I crossed my legs.

I am enjoying the new me. The first few days after surgery, I was trying to remember why I had surgery. Now I know it was to have a much healthier life. I thank GOD everyday for giving me this opportunity.

Well I've been talking too much, so until next time. God Bless you all.

I'VE GONE BACK TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!

Jun 21, 2007

This is my second week back at work. While I was at home, I wasn't eating that very much. Now that I have gone back to work I need more protein to fuel my body. It is going ok right now getting better with my protein intake. I have gotten really good at drinking water. According to my scales, which were maybe 1 pound off from the doctors, I have lost 44 lbs now. God is great!!!!!!!!!!!

1st month checkup!!!!!!!

May 31, 2007

I have lost a total of 33.5 lbs.  I feel really good about my choice to have this surgery.  Even though I am still trying to get in all my water and protein.  I will tell you this I will not give up.   The only problem that I have sofar with food is eating a boiled egg.  It made me really sick and I'm scared to try one right now.   
I have started cleaning out my closet and removing all of my 22/24 clothing.  That is great.  I have clothes that I had packed away that got too tight, so i should have enogh summer clothing.
I have been released to go back to work.  I will return on the 11th of June.  Thank you,  God. Until next time, God Bless you ALL, Vanessa

4 Weeks Out

May 24, 2007

Today is going really well.  I have lost 30lbs. by my scales at home.  I hope when i go to the doctor next week that theirs will be more than that(LOL).  I haven't been throughing up very much, only when i think i have ate too fast.  I did DUMP once when i drank a royal choc. protein shake.

On Monday, I twisted my ankle and tore ligaments.  I hope this does not effect my weight loss since I can't walk for a week or two.


FEELING GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

May 03, 2007

Hi everybody, today is 1 week out from surgery.  I'm feeling really good.  Still trying to get all that water down.  I can say now that the worst part of the last 2 weeks has been my day 5.  That was the day when i went from soup, salad and sandwich to the clear liquid diet.  I can truly say without people behind me that supported me, I would not be at this point now.  Then to realize that you can ask God for the most simpliest thing and he will Bless you. 

So, I went go have my drains and staples pulled and it wasn't bad at all.  I have lost 10.5 since surgery.  I thank God for all he has Blessed me with thus far. KISSES, VANESSA


6 DAYS TOGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apr 20, 2007

APRIL 26th IS COMING PRETTY FAST NOW.  OK MY NERVES ARE BEGINNING TO SET IN.  I HAVE BEEN WONDERING IF THIS IS THE RIGHT THING FOR ME.  OF COURSE IT IS, I TELL MYSELF.  I'M IN DAY THREE OS MY SALAD/SANDWICH/SOUP DIET.  IT IS GOING OK, I GUESS.  I HAVEN'T DIED YET.  ONEDAY AT A TIME(SWEET JESUS) THAT IS ALL I CAN ASK.  I CAN'T WAIT TO CLEAN OUT MY CLOSET AND WEAR SOME OF THE THINGS I PURCHASED FOR LAST SUMMER.  BECAUSE WHEN IT CAME TIME TO WEAR MY CLOTHES THEY DIDN'T FIT THE WAY I WANTED THEM.  SO, I JUST PUT THEM TO THE SIDE.  I CAN'T WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  GOD BLESS YOU ALL, VANESSA

HELLO EVERYBODY!

Apr 07, 2007

Today is the 4/07/07 and my date is getting closer,  i'm beginning to get a little nervous.  I have found myself staying a way from people that I know that dissaprove of me having this surgery done. MY husband, parents and my sister are all pulling for me, so this is my cheering squad.  I know that the LORD will be present every step of the way so that makes every thing just great.  I have Carmen and the rest of the Bama forum for extra support, also.  Goodbye for now.  God Bless you all, Nessa
