Hello Oh family, It has been ages since i blogged. So much has happened in my life since i last wrote. For starters i am currently 157 1/2 lbs which is awesome. never in my wildest dreams imagined that i would be where i am today. Had bumps in the road in the last 5 months...Kept getting awful pain and my surgeon just kept telling me it was my ulcer. Went to the ER ad was told the same thing. went to my pcp and he said maybe stress....Pain would be very severe . As you all know my sister has gb also and b4 that had her gallbladder out. I would tell her what i was experienceing and she said it sounded like gallbladder bcuz thats how she felt when hers was bad. Well fastforward to last week and they confirmed it was my gallbladder and i had surgery on the 4th to have it removed. So i been home recuperating so decided to update my blog.. After everything i been thru i frequetly ? if this was the right decision imade but no turning back now. I regret that i didnt take more pics of my progress more but time flies by before you know it. Will post new pics soon when i can...

HI oh family...Been a while since i updated my blog.... Lately i have been feeling great. Me my sister and her hubby went to go get tatooed last weekend. I was going to get a butterfly but changed my mind and got a cherry insted. I plan to go back for another one in a few weeks. I am down to 235 lbs.... Total of about 60 lbs. I am having a mini stall right now... Today i ate some chicken at my mom's house and within minutes i was throwing up and had foamies not sure if i ate too fast or if it was all the spices she put on it. Well til next time....

HI my Oh friends...I am starting to adjust to my pouch more and more each day. The stomach cramping has went away thank god knock on wood. Only thing now is i can not do much meat i feel like a vegan. For some reason it doesn't agree with me. I have lost almost 60 lbs. The odd thing is the more i lose the more fat i feel. I felt more comfortable when i was 300 lbs i know it sounds dumb. All my family is saying i am becoming looks obsessed and vain. I admit i am ridicoulous with jewelery and accesories and i have become a little in your face but only to people who made fun of me b4 and are trying to be fake now ...Like my sister in law she used to be very petite and would talk about me behind my back saying i probably have bed sores because im so fat  and other mean things and soon i will be smaller than her bcuz she gained so much weight in the past 2 years from the kids. This is one person i will enjoy flaunting in front of. Well today im going to go to a bbq at my sister's house. Will be hard to smell it all and not eat much but oh well that's the path i chose right. Well til next time oh family, Jennifer

Today was okay. had a scrambled egg with cheese for breakfast and lunch had a little bit of potato with broc and cheese from wendy's yumm ohh. I was having a stall for about a week and a half and i think i broke it i lost a few lbs thank god. I am happy to report my sister's surgery went well and she is already losing. If she passes me i will be mad:O) just kidding chris. Anyway i am getting catcalls and stares from guys and it is making me uncomfortable  but guess that isn't  a bad thing. Well will post in a few days. Take care my oh friends. Jennifer

Well so far today i had some corn beef hash for breakfast. For a snack i had a piece or toast wasn't sure how it would go since it was my first piece of bread but all went ok. For lunch i am going to have some chicken noodle soup. Yesterday my sister has a bbq and i had a piece of hot dog which was ok and then i tried a small piece of hamburger and within minutes i got extremely sick and had to go throw up. My pouch was feeling awful. I threw up about 6 times although  sometimes it was just like a foamy spit. Guess i won't be having burger again for a long time. Till next time My friends Jennifer

Well i am still feeling sick and cannot tolerate liquids. For some strange reason whatever i drink makes my stomach cramp up. I know i am on the verge of dehydration so i am trying very hard to increase the liquids even though it hurts. My sister's surgery is next week and i hope for her sake she doesn't have the issues that i do, but no matter what i will be there for her like she was for me. Til next time my oh friends. Jennifer

Today has been awful. I have been nauteous all day and have only been able to have some broth. Yesterday all day in my left arm i kept feeling like someone was poking me with pins and at night while sleeping i woke up screaming it felt like someone was poking a hot rod in my arm and it still hurts. Called the dr and he said he has never heard of that and wants me to come in for bloodwork. I just feel ike i wish i could reqind the clock and take this back i have had nothing but problems and i have been miserable. I hope things get better or i don't know how i am going to go back to work. Til next time Jennifer

So today i am weighing 258 and i am down a total of about 38 lbs in 2 weeks . Crazy right! I am still feeling like i don't know if this was the right decision but oh well it is done now so i have to learn to adjust and live with it. Yesterday was a rough day later in the evening a felt two small pops in my chest and then i had intense chest pain , and i got so panicked and called the dr but his office was closed so i got the service and i was quite surprised when he called me back within a minute. The dr told me it is most likely from the stitches and that i need to take it easy while they are disolving. I hope he knows what he is talking about . LOL Well til next time........

so today is April 5th,2008 and is a much better day then yesterday. I was so excited when i started this but have been having serious post op blues. Yesterday went to chuck e cheese and was feeling really down. Thank god for my sister and brother in law for trying to keep my spirits up and all of their tremendous help i will pay it forward to her when her surgery is here. Today i had a wow moment i am now weighing 264 and i was 296 when i weighed in during pre surgery testing so it is working. I think i am really just having mental mourning from food right now so i hope that it gets better. My sister has been on me to start my blog so this is for you chris!!!!!!!!!
