WOW This has been a really long journey for me I am 5 Months out and I feel WONDERFUL. I hvae been going through alot I have been also Blessed alot I won my Lawsuite and was awarded a VERY NICE LUMP SUM about Five Figures. So I thanked the lord for that. Now I am praying for my so called friends who now that I have loss some weight and got a little bit more money have been throwing shade my way. I have been told by my so-called best friend that she will not be calling me for the next six months all that I can say is ok (I'm not going to lose any sleep over it). People has said that I'm stuck up or boochie(hope i spelled that one right) but I haven't changed I am still the same person that I was 5 months ago. So what do I do Say F it and go on about my business if someone don't want to be my friend now then they were never my friend to begin with. This year is going to be good for me and my family and I can always make new friends. My weight loss is going great I am now going through my hair loss which isn't so bad I keep my hair in braides most of the time. I am still in shock that with in 5 months I went from 325lbs to 219lbs and my birthday is on the 10th of february and I am going to live it up to the fullest this will be the first birthday in a long time that I won't feel like I'm to big to party like a rock star. I hope that all of my Oh Family is in the best of health and that you all keep me in prayer. Best Wishes To All Of You And Your Families in 2009 I really do care about everyone that I have meet on this site if it wasn't for you all I don't know if I would have made it. Thank You

So I am doing OK for the most part I just need some advice. So I have been going to the gym twice a week and every thing is fine but now I am able to notice the loose skin a friend of mine said to get a full body supporter. Does any one know where I can fine a good one at I heard that it help hold everything in. I can see a difference when I look at myself I just need to fine something that can hold in my midsection when I workout.


On another note so let me get this out ok. So remember when I blogged about my best friend, ok about a week ago I had a family dinner at my house this was my last dinner before we move. So I invited my best friend and her husband (whom I call my brother) and when she got there I greeted her with a HEY GIRRRLLLL well have she looked me up and down all she whispered was hey so I said well what's been up wit you because we haven't seen each other in awhile. She looked at me and said your getting skinny I replied OK, now I am not going to trip is what I am telling myself but she continued to say it all night. Ok now it is getting on my F*#@ing nerves, So a few days later she called me and we talked about our trip to Disney world next summer for my little girl 6th birthday and next thing I know she says I love you girl but I'll be damned if you are going to were a bikini and I'm not, child I was floored so now she is on this liquid diet and she only eats salads and then she tells me that she is trying to lose 50lbs or should I say she wants to be 185lbs. That is more then 50lbs, I said OK do you so she say well this guy at her job got the RNY done like nine months ago and they talked about his surgery so he told her that she should get the lap-band and it was like telling her that she weights 550lbs she has been on this liquid diet for about two weeks. I told her to be careful with it and I also told her that all of the yo-yo diets was one of the reasons I had my surgery because as soon as you stop dieting you gain it all plus some back. Another friend of ours said that now she is going to be really competitive with me, I was told to watch out becuase she is going to stop at nothing to lose weight because she can not be big and me skinny if anything I am suppose to be big and she is suppose to be skinny. Well I feel like this I had my surgery for me and my kids I did not have it for her nor did I have it to be competitive. what the hell I don't have that kind of time I am going to do me and KIM(KEEP IT MOVING).

WOW I have lost a total of 63lbs, 22lbs before surgery and 41 after I am loving life I have more engery then before and the pounds are falling off I go to the gym like twice a week but I walk every day. My family always say girl you look good I am getting my body right for my birthday in a few months look out for some new pictures of me and my family. Keep me in your prayers as I continue on my journey.

Wow 1 Month Out and I feel wonderful. I just got back from the gym. I am trying not to stand on the scale everyday so I have a set day each week to check my weight. I went from 303 to 270 Iam goging to work my tool. Til Next Time

 Since surgery I went from 303lb to 286lb

Well I am doing fine now, last week I was back in the hospital I had really bad stomach pains and I just know that I was dying. So I called my surgeon and he said to come into the E.R. Well I was in there for two days he had to put a camera down into my stomach to look around. He had to insert a balloon to expand my opening so that my food could digest. Have any body had to go through this.

Since my stay in the hospital I have been feeling fine and my doctor said that I had to start back at phase1 which sucks, but I can start working out so wish me luck.

Well I came home from the hospital yesterday after only one day. And boy was I in pain I had the worst case of gas ever. I went home and laid down for a little while then I went for a walk and today I am at work only because I sit down all day but I did walk around the outside of the building on my break. I am now on the losser bench Thank you too every one who prayed for me and for all of the support.

Well today is tuesday August 5, 2008. This means that I have two days until my surgery and I am so excited. I have already cleaned my whole house and went food shopping for my family. I got my mother in law to watch my daughter I wrote my son a letter because he is in summer camp. and just in case I don't make it I got my will in order so that my kids will be very well taking care of. So everyone wish me luck and keep me in your prayers.

I have been on my two week diet since July 25, 2008. And when I went for my pre op testing and the nurse weighted me I had lost 22pounds WOW I am so proud of myself.
 
I am a little afraid of surgery only because this is my first ever surgery, but I have faith in the Lord and I know that He will see me through. I also have a great deal of faith in my surgeon a lot of people have told me that I couldn't have picked a better surgeon then Dr. Dallal. My sister is now looking into getting the surgery done and I told her that she has to be willing to change her whole life around and before she just pick any surgeon do your research. I would like to thank everybody for keeping me in their prayers.


God Bless

I NEED SOME ADVICE ABOUT MY BEST FRIEND HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED.

WHEN I FIRST DECIDED TO START MY JOURNEY TO LOSE WEIGHT I TOLD HER ABOUT IT. AND SHE WAS ALL TO NEGATIVE TALKING ABOUT THIS IS OUR ADULT SELF WE (AS IN ME AND HER) WAS MEANT TO BE BIG AND ALL THIS OTHER BULL SHIT. AND THEN THE NEXT DAY I GET A PHONE CALL FROM THIS HOSPITAL TRYING TO MAKE ME AN APPOINTMENT FOR SURGERY. SO AFTER I TURNED THEM DOWN BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD MY HOSPITAL AND SURGEON PICKED OUT, I SAID TO MYSELF "SELF"  AND MY SELF SAID YO I THINK THAT THIS BITCH IS TRYING TO PLAY US. SO A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN I HAD TALK TO HER SHE SAYS DID TEMPLE HOSPITAL CALL YOU I SAID YES THEY DID SHE SAYS OK BECAUSE I WAS THINKING THAT ME AND YOU CAN GO ON THE BUDDY SYSTEM FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. I LOOKED AT HER AND I SAID REALLY WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO DO IT BECAUSE JUST A WEEK AGO YOU WERE TOTALLY AGAINST IT SHE WENT ON ABOUT ALL THIS BULL SHIT THAT I DID NOT WANT TO HEAR. OK SO NOW SHE IS BACK TO SAYING THAT WE ARE IN OUR ADULT BODIES ONLY BECAUSE HER MAN LIKE BIG GIRLS BUT HE GAWKS AT SKINNY ONES. NOW SHE WANTS TO GET A TUMMY TUCK SO THAT SHE IS BIG AT THE BOTTOM AND TOP BUT SMALL IN THE MIDDLE. MAYBE I AM THINKING TO MUCH IN TO IT BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE AFTER MY SURGERY WE ARE GOING TO FALL APART.   

                 " WHAT DO YOU THINK "

 I STARTED MY TWO WEEK DIET YESTERDAY. IT WAS HARD FOR ME AT FIRST BECAUSE I WAS HUNGREY AS ALL HELL. BUT ONCE I GOT OVER THAT I WAS GOOD, MY STUDBAND  WENT OUT AND GOT ME SOME VEGTABLES, MY PROTEIN SHAKES AND SUGAR FREE JELLO.

TODAY WAS BETTER I AM STICKING TO MY DIET BUT I KNOW THAT I WILL HAVE SOME TEMPTATION COME SATURDAY BECAUSE MY BESTFRIEND IS HAVING A GATHERING FOR HER B-DAY. I THINK THAT I WILL BE OK I AM TOO FOCUSED ON MY SURGERY TO RUIN IT NOW. BUT I AM STILL HUMAN SO CAN SOMEONE ASK GOD TO GIVE ME THE STRENGTH NOT TO FALL OFF MY DIET.

TIL NEXT TIME,
