Wow I cant believe it has been over 4 years since I last posted! Today was my surgaversary 7 years out! So much has changed yet so much is still the same! I have been blessed and I still appreciate my tool.  I have not reached my goal but I am still work in progress!  My weight-loss struggles are real and something I am aware of daily.  Major regain is not an option for me! 3 years ago i nearly lost my life in Child birth but God is good! I live everyday happy with the decision I made 7 years ago today! I downloaded some pic to try and get an idea of the person I am today ... Thank You OH and my OH family for supporting me over the 7 years! .... I may not be on all the time but I have not fogottten the support that got me through when no one else under stood!!!

Good Morning OH

Jul 13, 2010

 

Well I am 4 months and counting. Yesterday was my check up with my surgeon and it went well. I have lost 80lbs which they said was good but I am 20 lbs short of my personal goal so I was a little disappointed. I think things have slowed down considerably so I am a bit worried about making it to my final goal. Anyway this is still work in progress and I am enjoying the challenge!
July 1st marked a year since I started the whole weight loss process. That was the day I went to my first info session at the Barix
 Clinic and decided to have WLS…. And wow here I am!!! I have been blessed! Ok so lets see were am I at today … it is still a challenge to eat sometimes but I really appreciate the days when my pouch is happy and food stays down and feels good. I can pretty well eat anything and I try to eat a variety of healthy foods everyday. I can not eat anywhere near as much as I did in the past so I really appreciate the quality of food more than the quantity. I have tried allotting of new things (I even made up a recipe for a watermelon salad) and I find pleasure in eating simple more natural foods.  I am still working to get off the BP meds.   I think I should take a sewing class .. because I know for sure that none of my cloths will be fitting next summer and I love my cloths I have some signature pieces that I wouldn’t mind keeping ….. but alas I cant sew to save my life ….lol  …. Anyway that’s all the updates for now …thanks for being there for me and supporting me OH family!!! Keep me in your prayers!!!

3 months out!!!!

Jun 08, 2010

Good Morning OH!!! I am officially 3 months out today!!! I feel good! I am 76lbs down as of this morning which is a HUGE accomplishment for me!! I have never lost that much weight in any of my attempts combined!! Ok so I am going to try and sum up what I am feeling and thinking at this stage of my journey. Firstly I eat 100 times better …. My favorite foods at this time are tuna, mixed vegetable salad, cheese, home made soup, fruits, and chili. The 2 minute rule has been a life saver and I can really eat anything (healthy of course) as long as I take my time and chew, chew, chew…….. I still can’t see the difference, I mean yes I am fitting into my old cloths so I know I am going down and the good old scale is going down (when it wants too) but I still see my self as a big person. In away I am focused on the big picture (I have 135lbs still to loose) which is good (I will not loose focus) and bad (I think I am a bit hard on myself)…...I think I have already experienced a stall which is not fun but it is what it is and I am back to loosing again ……as far as exercise I walk too or from work every other day and Auquafit 2x a week…. I am still on blood pressure meds but I hope that changes soon. My next appointment with My Surgeon is Jul 13th and I was hoping to be 100lbs down by then if not that’s ok too….I am glad I had my surgery and I have had allot of support which I am very thankful for and I am excited to see what the next 3 months bring!!!

Life is too short to wake up with regrets..

Feb 23, 2010

.......So if you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it..... A good Friend sent that to me yesterday and the Lord knows I needed to hear it!!! Day 2 of my liver reduction diet kicked my @#$ but day 3 I woke up fighting and with no regrets and I am ready for my second chance!!!  Tomorrow I go back to Synergy for my Mandatory exercise and nutrition class and I am ready!!! Then SURGERY in 10days ....to all my OH Friends and Visitors to my page please keep me in your prayers! To those who walked before me thanks you for the inspiration... to those currently walking with me ALL THE BEST!!! And to those just starting out it will happen don’t give up ...just keep walking!!!
