So today I am 5 months and 4 days post op Gastric Bypass. I am living life to the fullest and feeling great. I weight in at 256 now. I started this journey at 372 pounds and weighed 343 before surgery after weight loss pre op. I have lost 87 pounds since surgery 01-10-2011 and have lost 116 total. I am almost at what I weighed 12 years ago. My life has been busy and a couple of weeks ago my hubby asked me to renew our vows with a huge wedding I never had. So we have been getting the money saved and I have my wedding dress picked out which is a beautiful burgundy ball gown. We are remarrying 03-26-2012 so I am hoping to be at 180 pounds before our wedding. I love myself now and take pride in the way I look. I cant believe I was so held back by the weight I was carrying around. I hope that if you are struggling with super morbidy that you seriously look into this sugery. Research it and know this is what you want before you go for it but know the risks. I do have some loose skin which im lifting weights to get it under control and I have lost some hair but I have thick hair so im ok with it. I still hate protien shakes but I get my protien in with the foods I eat. I hope you all our doing well. I am on facebook all the time so add me my name is sabrina speers moreno on there. My hubby also had the surgery and has lost a total of 151 pounds you can see his and my you tube videos at Footballmom4. I miss you all and hope to talk to you soon. Take care my friends.

I went to my primary doctor yesterday for some bakk issues ive been having( a pulled muscle pinching the nerve) anyhow they weighed me when I was there and I currently weight 279 pounds.. Let me tell you when I started this journey I weighed a huge 372 pounds so I am 8 pounds away from a total weight loss of 100 pounds.. I am sooo happy and excited to see these dramatic results.. I cant wait for summer to get here cause I plan on spending the whole time outside with my kids swimming and playing with them like I should have been doing all along.. My clothes are so big on me now but Im gonna try to make them fit until im down to 250 cause I cant afford new clothes and at the rate im going there is no use in buying new clothes just so they can be to big on me in a few months.. I have a family reunion planned for July so my goal is to get under the 250 which I am sure I can do.. I am soo proud of myself and even though I needed this tool to do it I would not change it for the world!!

Its been a couple of months since I was on last.. I have been doing pretty good. My starting and highest weight Jan 2010 was 372 pounds... I had lost around 30 pounds before surgery but now after surgery in Jan 2011 I am now at 300 pounds.. Thats a totl weight loss of 72 Pounds.. I am so happy. I still love food.. I hate sugar.. noodles.. protien shakes..Tuna.. Taco bell..lol... Love Subway.. Salads.. Baked potatoes.. eggs.. refried beans and string cheese.. It is easy for me to say no to the fattening foods ecpecially cookies, cakes, fattening meats... I love this tool.. it has made my life better so far and its onlly been a few months PostOp.. I cant wait for summer so I can get more excersizing in.. My hubby bought me a Active 2 for our PS3 and I love it.. My body hurt so bad after I was done because it worked muscles That I forgot I had..  I have you tube videos up under footballmom4 videos.. hope you guys get a chance to see mine and hubbys journeys so far.. hope you all are doing great on your own journeys.. Take care...

I had my surgery Gastric Bypass RNY on Jan. 10, 2011.. I have to say that I have the best Bariatric doctor in the world. Dr. Pettine is the nicest man and he really cares. On a scale from 1-10 I would rate him at 100.. I recommend my doctor to everyone. My husband is also having the same surgery and DR. Pettine. He likes him alot and loved the way he treats me. Poudre Valley Hopital is very nice and the Nurses here are great. Rik, Stevie, Melissa, Lindsey, Angela, Norma, Marge and all the rest of the Nursing Staff I am so grateful for you all. You all care and thats what makes a great Nurse, Nurse Aide and Doctor.. I love you all and you will each hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life... Thank you..     — Sabrina Moreno


I am doing great.. The surgery went great with no complications.. I am soo happy for the care I recieved. I am looking forward to my future with high hopes.. Take care and I will keep you posted. I also have videos on You Tube (Footballmom4) is my username... and you can find me on facebook (Sabrina Moreno)..... Thanks again for all the support..

So things have been better.. They never did hysterectomy. They decided it wasnt bad enough and just did a leep cause of the risks due to my weight ironically..lol... They got all the cancer and are gonna watch me like a hawk for the next 3 years... yayyy.. So tomorrow January 10th 2011 is my new birthday.. I am gonna live my life to the fullest I can possibly do.. I am so happy for this chance to be healthy for myself and my kids. I am gonna play with them, go swimming with them and everything I couldnt do before.. I am ready for this new life. It may be awhile till I am back on but you can always call to check on me. My number is 970-580-0460. Thanks for all your support its nice to know you all care..

So I found out October 19th that I have cervical cancer. The doctors sent my slides to John Hopkins hospital to confirm. My gyno scheduled me a total Hysterectomy  for ovember 16th. My Gastric Bypass was for November 8th. So I have cancelled my GB until January hopefully will be healed from hyster by then. I am so disapointed. I have such bad luck. My last uterine biopsy came back negative so that means it hasnt spread. My husband hasnt been very supportive lately. He says im over worried and hes sick of it so hes going back to Oklahoma for two weeks and leavin me with the kids. He will come back when i have to go for surgery(Hopefully) So thats all for now. I am so sad!!!!!!

Things are so much better. My doctor called with my uterine biopsy results. Everything was fine. No signs of cancer. My Gyno seems to think I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. Thank God.. Id rather have that than cancer. They did some blood work and are doing an ultrasound next week so Ill know for sure if I have PCOS. I was so depressed and even tryed to forget about my surgery cause I figured if I had cancer they wouldnt do the surgery. Now that I dont have uterine cancer my spirits are lifted and Im on my way to my Date with bells on..lol.. I did my dietician consult and was told that I have a great attitude and that I have more knowledge about the surgery and the risks then anyone who has walked through her door. She charted that I was very educated in the foods I am supposed to be eating and carb counting. But I think all of us obese ladies have been on so many diets we are all experts..lol.. I have been working and plan on working until a week before surgery. I am super excited. Again.. I will keep updating my blog..

So I got my results from my Biopsy today. My doctor calls and says Sabrina I have your results. Then she told me that the pap came back normal but the biopsy they did on the cervix showed Endemetrial Cells (cancer of the uterus). I said ok what does that mean? Keep in mind my family has a huge background of cancer. My mom.. My moms mom.. Uncles.. Aunts.. ect..  She said next Wensday I need to come in so they can do a  uterine biopsy. I said is it going to be painful? She said yes. During this whole conversation I am thinking of my mother.. I asked her what is going to happen. My doctor(her) said she was sending me to a specialist and that the treatment is having your female parts takin out(uterus, cervix, overies). I am very scared. I am told it is common but I am only 27. I have a Gastric Bypass surgery scheduled for November 8th and all I keep thinking is just my luck... I am fixin to change my life for the better and here my doc is saying I will have to have another surgery to remove my female parts. So I am thinking I wont be able to have both sugeries because I have Medicaid and I dont think they will pay for both of these. I dont know what to do.. All I know is when our family hears CANCER.. its usually not a good thing. I have 4 little boys'' I am still young and was fixing to get my life back..Now this...I am soo depressed..

My husband has a appointment today at 4pm. He has to start the diet process all over for his insurance. Since the hospital is doing the classes he will only have to take 3 months instead of the 6 months doctors supervised weight loss. His doctors never charted his diet for his diabetes or his weight loss of 50 lbs. They told him they would make sure all his records were up to date for surgery but they didnt. Now he has to start all over. Luckily he has 3 months of Dietitian though. I am excited for him and want to take this journey with him as well as everyone on Obesity Help. I guess when people treat you so bad for so long that when you find people who care  it makes you so happy. I am addicted to Obesity Help and have found some really nice people who wont look down on me. I just know my husband is gonna love this site. I sure am glad my surgeons office told me about this place...

I have a colposcopy scheduled for today. I am so not looking forward to it. A coposcopy is where they go in and take biopsys of your cervix.. I have 3 place on my cervix the doctor is concerned about so hopefully everything will be alright. I get so nervous and then they start cutting.. the first ones not so bad but the 2nd and 3rd... OUCH.. I might take me some tylenol or something for pain before I go in. Well this will be my 3rd colposcopy. Ive had 2 in the last 3 months. I hope I get through this and if you guys dont see me today its because I went to sleep off the pain...lol.. I will blog later..
