Been mia for a while, been trying to focus on working out and loosing and the last month and a half i started slacking. It sucks my trainer had to stop for personal reason and i feel so bummed i dont even go to thegym. My hubby and me and now starting to swim an hr in the morning to get back into the routine and eating healthy., But i want carbs all the time, i dont dump on anything and i just cant find the motivation to get back on top of things. Im 55lbs away from goal 8 1/2 months out, down 89lbs !

Im so gratefull for all my family and friends. Im gratefull for my surgery and all who supported me and still support me. My mom is my rock. she is my everything. Thanks for all the support you all provide. Merry christmas everyone !!!

SO post i had to do a liquid diet for 2 weeks and i swear that was the hardest thing ive ever done. I was faced with challenges and obstacles but i didnt budge , not once i stuck it out and im so proud of myself. That shows how determined i am to get this weight off. I started to eat food saturday  following my food plan provided by the NUT. Im starting my gym and cardio regimen today and hopefully the weight will continue to come off and i will continue to feel great. Thank you for the support.  oh and btw as of saturday im down 17lbs since surgery !

I feel great , honestly its like i never had surgery (pain wise). Im still sticking to all liquids, and its getting old and harder. Im feeling a lil hungry now, so the shakes arent cutting it anymore, but i will continue to do as told in order to have the benefits. Im able to drink like before surgery, no pain, no complications, just a cookie cutter post op for now. Thanks to all for the support

going under was the one thing i dont remember. I was taken to the or, they lowered my bed down and then i woke up in recovery. I have no memory of the tube coming out or the catheter coming in. I woke up in pain but was so tired i went back to sleep. When i really woke up and felt the air pains i wanted to get put of bed... like now!! i told the nurse i NEEDED TO WALK . she hesitated but then i asked someone else and she let me up. Walking didnt hurt at all, i just wanted that gas out. and it is harder than we think to pass the gas. i wasnt able to pass gas the smelly way untill today my 2 nd day out. Im home now sipping feels the same as before.Your belly feels like ur prego. At least mine does. But its not something we cant handle, Now i will tell you ,,, YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE LIVER DETOX DIET.. ITS IMPORTANT THE SMALLER THE LIVER, THE LESS PAIN U HAVE TO ENDURE. I drank a cup of warm water and pure lemon juice every morning for a month before surgery and ate only organic . hope this helps .

You would never understand how much a simple phone call would make your day soooo great . Im sooooo happy to hear the words approved. My surgery date is Nov 21st in exactly 7 days ahhhhhh. Cant wait to become a better newer me ! tahnks for all the support and patience you guys had with me. Love you all

So exited, got my labs done today and go to get my us and xray wed. Last support group is thursd and then pre op visit Nov 3rd @ 3pm.  Surgery is set for november 21st woooohoooo!!!!

Hey guys , I been thinking about doing a before pic for my journey, Now ive seen some people have wanted to share EVERYTHING while some dont. Now my problem is ....... i make up for being fat by always being made up(HAIR DONE, NAILS,MAKEUP,CUTE CLOTHES ETC) so if i did end up doing a before in my undies or bathing suit, it wouldnt look like a before pic it would end up looking like fat porn! ive always felt like being fat is not an excuse to look a hot mess. Also you know what they say.. everything posted online will haunt you forever!  SO maybe i can wear a fitted dress kinda spandex so you can see the body, but not all of it... What did you do??? any suggestions???

Well after my post yesterday, i had my over the phone appointment with the Nut, and since she is the one that sets up the support groups, she  vey nicely went out her way to ask the dr if he would accept a one on one support group. and.........drumroll pls...... he said YES!!!!  whooohooo so as long as i can get ahold of her stupid secretary and schedule the appt today or tom im good!!!! woooohooooo november pls get here a lil faster

So i missed a support meeting due to the retarded people at my doctors office giving me the wrong date, so i was told my surgery date has to be moved up a month bc i have to have 3 consecutive sessions for my insurance approval. Not only is this sooo frustrating, but idk if my job can give me time off in DEC due to the holidays. Just freaking Great!!!!
