Hello Everyone it's been a very long time I have missed you. I forgot my password and username lol but I am back now. I have had some ups and downs with my weight loss. Definitely after the untimely death of my mother and other family members it just hit me so hard I didn't know . What to do I cried for days didn't take my vitamins yes I was real mean to myself. And I ate the wrong things at times and sometimes I didn't eat. It was so bad my hair started to fall out but I am so grateful. I put all my faith in God and he sent the tools to my family and friends to help me through that different period, And I can't thank God enough for bringing me out of that situation because he used my family to help me. And yesterday was my mother's anniversary day of her death. And I hurt still so badly but I am trying to handle it differently so I thought coming on here would help me. So if anyone of my friends are here or anyone who wants to say hello I would love to hear from you. Sending positive vibes to everyone... Shawna

Now I Know Some Know Over A Year Ago I Had A Revision From The Sleeve To The Bypass . Why??? Because My Sleeve Stopped Working Nothing I Did Wrong My Surgeon Told Me.

I Had Set A Goal To Be In The Ones By Christmas. Well GUESS WHAT??? I DID IT!!!! I Now Weigh 199 Pounds. I Am Not At My Goal Weight But I Am Happy. So For The People Struggling On There Journey DON'T GIVE UP!!! You Can Do This. We Are In This Together If You Have Any Questions For Me I Will Be Happy To Answer Them.

Hello Everyone it's been a minute since I have updated my progress. Well for all of you who are not familiar with my situation I will elaborate. I had vsg in 2014 I lost alittle over 100 pounds. Then all of a sudden I started to not lose weight and I was following everything properly. This happened a couple years after vsg. I even started to gain weight because I was getting depressed. Thanks to my very supportive husband and children they encouraged me to go see my surgeon. Fast forward to 2017 my surgeon ran tests and found out my sleeve stopped working why he has no idea. So he talked to me about having a revision to the bypass that was the original surgery I wanted. But he was hesitant to do the bypass in the beginning because I had scar tissue from 2 C-sections. I don't want to make this to long lol! Moving forward I had the revision May 1st 2017 I originally weighed 360 pounds I am now 209 and striving to get to 180-190 and I just wanted to let you know that it definitely hasn't been easy but worth it ???? percent. Good Luck to all the people with upcoming surgeries. And for the ones who have started on there journey I wish you much success you ALL can do if I can ????

Hi Everyone it's been a minute since I have written on my blog. First I want to say welcome to any new members and I wish you much success on your weight loss journey ????. Now as for myself I am 20 pounds from my weight loss goal I never thought I would get this close. Me having a revision my weight loss is slower than my original surgery. But I am still losing weight and I am content with that. I just wanted to stop by and update you on my process I am a year and 2 months out from my revision and it was the best thing for me. I will try to come by here more and keep you updated until the next time we are all on the same path to get healthy and support from others who understands what I am going through really helps why not extend support to others much success, happiness to you all.

Now go get'em you can do it ????????

Hello Everyone and Happy Valentine's Day.  after many years of battling with my weight. From childhood to adulthood I can finally say I love me inside and out. I use to hear you are pretty BUT yeah the but would follow after and say . If you lose weight you would be even more pretty. Now these people I am talking about were my family. So I never felt pretty and would hide from the mirror. But I can finally say I love Shawna inside and out and I can look in the mirror now. I still have a lot of work to do but I am happy with where I am now.

Hello I went to see my surgeon today and they took pictures of me before my revision in May. And they wanted to take some today. Well to say my surgeon is pleased with my weight loss so far is a understatement. Even more important I am pleased and looking forward to meeting my goal weight . And this is my year to  get it done I was blessed to have another chance to get it right. And I will not take this blessing for granted. Happy New Year's to all you wonderful people. If you are interested in seeing the pictures they will be in my profile.

Hello Everyone I am going through so much for those who don't know I just lost my mother unexpectedly 6 months ago. And yesterday I lost my little nephew he was born at 6 months and weighed only over a pound. It's time like these when my stress level is the maximum I use to turn to food. Now that's now a option and I am just crying and not eating at all I need to find a way to cope with all this hurt it's tearing me up. 

Hi Everyone I went to see my Dietician today I haven't seen her or been weighed since surgery. Which was May 1st. of this year I have heard from others that I would NOT lose that much on this revision. Well I was weighed today and to my surprise I am down 30 since surgery. I was so happy I almost cried I have been working very hard exercising 5-6 days a week for a hour and I am so happy with the results.  And so was my dietician she was extremely happy so I guess everyone is different concerning the revision. My dietician told me I could lose as much as 75- 100 pounds so I am excited about the future.

Hello Everyone it has been 1 month today since I had my revision. I am doing well I am now eating soft foods and so far everything has went down my stomach just fine.(Thank You Jesus. I was told by my surgeon that at this stage I should be exercising for at least 15 minutes. I can only imagine the shock he got when I told him I am exercising at 50 minutes already. I was given another opportunity to meet my goal and I am doing everything I can  to get there. I have not weighed myself because I get obessed so I have a appointment in a couple of weeks I will update you on that. But if I can't wait until then I will update you then. I am happy with the progress I am making and I look forward to a more healthy lifestyle. Talk To You Soon ????
