Ok I don't really have a story, I just know that I've been struggling with me weight all of my life and I'm finally going to do something about it!!
4-10-09 Today I just finished my pre-op education classes and the reality of this situation is starting to hit home!! My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday and I start my liquid diet on Tuesday!! OMG!! I'm so nervous, scared and excited all at the same time!!
4-19-09 I got home from The hospital on Friday evening, and I am recovering very well! I've been sore and groggy and dealing with a lot of head hunger but I'm happy to be home safe and sound! I am finally on the loosing side!! yea!!!
4-23-09 I'm at work today, i actually went back to work on yesterday and i'm feeling better by the day, last night I actually went for a long walk with my mom and did pretty good, so I'm hitting the gym hard on Monday!! This whole whole journey of loosing weight is an experience I've been waiting on and it feels great. I feel lighter and more shapely already. I've been going through so many stressfull situation but I've been praying and I believe that this surgery has started a domino effect of many positive changes that are going to be happening for me this year!! I'll keep you updated
4/26/08 Ok here's the update I'm loosing weight every day, my body is transforming before my eyes and I feel great about it!! But I've lost my best friend "Food" I didnt realize how dependent on food I was I miss not being able to eat , go out to eat, eat with family and friends and just being able to cook a great meal and actually eat it!! I know its still early in the process and that eventually I will be able to eat again, but in the mean time I'm so tired of protein shakes and yogart!! thats the only thing I can really get down right now. I'm praying about my love affair with food and asking God to help me to refocus my attention and energy on something else so we will see.
5/7/09 New update I'm feeling better I still get hungry and fustrated but im able to eat soft foods a little so it makes it better.
Im still loosing weight I'm down to 243 lbs and my clothes are pretty big now and people are starting to notice the weight loss and its a little weird but its cool. One guy actually told me i looked younger!!! I told him it was just the make up!!lol I can't wait till the end of June im going on a little trip and hopefully I'll be bathing suit ready!
5/17/09 So I'm down to 240 lbs now the weight loss is slowing down a little but I have more energy now so Im starting to work out more! My obession with food is still pretty strong but now i can watch the food network or go out to eat with friends and its not so bad I dont feel so overwhelmed. I'm still on soft foods and im stil only able to get protein shakes eggs yougart and fish in but I've found my new best friend greek yogart with strawberry jam!! its great and it has a ton of protien in it , Im noticing that my body is changing in a lot of ways, I have my waist back and my but isnt as huge as it used to be so I'm happy about that. The one thing I'm not to happy about is that my boobs are slowly disapearing!:( but I guess thats a small price to pay to get healthy again:)
6/22/09 ok I know its been a while, but I had a few stalls in my weight loss but its official im down to 233lbs which means I have lost a total of 40lbs in about 2 months!!!!! I feel great and Im down to a size 18 and I really like the way I look now and this is only the begining. Ive been working out with a personal trainer to try and make sure I dont have any saggy parts and so far so good. I still drink my protein shakes in the morning and try and get in as much protein as I can during the day but some days are harder than others. I'm eating basically what I want in very small portions and I havent had any problems with throwing up or nausea since the surgery. I feel truelly gratefull for this experience and im looking forward to the rest of my weight loss journey:)
2/21/11 Wow I cant beleive its been a year and a half since I've updated my progress..... So much has happened I dont really know where to start!! Im currently at 200lbs today but my weight fluctuates between 198-203 during the month. So I havent made it to my goal weight of 175 but im still working on it and I plan to get there one day hopefully soon. I really happy with my body so far im in a 14pants 12 top and 12-14 dress depending on the cut. I still have of lot of work to do on my body but im not saggy at all thanks to weight training at the gymn. In my personal life I met and married the man of my dreams and Im so happy and thankful for all of God's blessings in my life right now, I am truelly happy:-) Right now I feel like I have hit a weight loss plateau I havent loss any reall weight in several months and it seems like im actually starting to gain some back but I know its my own fault ive been so happy Ive lost focuss on my weight loss goals and have picked up a lot of my old bd habits. I logged on to this site today to remind myself where Ive come from in my weight loss journey and where I never want to go back!! I need to remind myself to prioritize my health and fitness and to appreciate the path that I have chosen for myself. I plan to update more often so I can stay on track with my weightloss goals.... hopefully next time I'll have more positive weight loss post to update! :-)
