I'm finally starting my journey...
Mar 18, 2010
I am writing on here after a long absence. I want to update my profile in this blog, opposed to changing around stuff by editing.To start off, today is March 18, 2010, I am 41 years young and now have 2 grandsons. I started losing weight on my own back in May of 2008, but had already lost 16 lbs from 425 lbs several months before that. As of my birthday in February 2010, I was still 350 lbs and holding (in June 2009 I even got down to 340 lbs, but I was ill in the hospital with pneumonia and almost instantly gained 10 lbs back after I was discharged)! I had been plateaued at 350 since around August 2009. We are in March now and I've slowly been gaining back 5,7,9 lbs here and there. I am very afraid of continuing that trend, so I called Angie Flores for some help! I had been in my comfort zone during the plateau, that I didn't "think" it would creep back on so easily. Duh, I should've known better. Well, I think I'm around 360 lbs, but not sure since the battery in my scale is dead as of last week. I don't think I've gained anything, I actually might have lost because my favorite jeans are looser than last week. So, I now have an appointment to meet up with Angie Flores at the Weight Loss Surgery Seminar on Monday, March 22, 2010. I will be filling out all the paperwork and getting appointments to meet the surgeon and Registered Dietician. I am hoping to have the gastric band placed instead of having the gastric bypass done due to all my health reasons which would just increase my risk. I have proven to myself that I am disciplined to lose the weight, I just need the assist of the tool to help me to continue to succeed in my journey. I will try to become more active on this profile so I can document my progress in hopes of helping anyone who may be interested in having surgery. Until next time, thanks for reading. =)
