I truly cannot believe it has been 7 years since my weight loss surgery!  With that being said, I have put on some weight with my most recent pregnancy.  I have some work to do for sure!

5 Year Anniversary!

Apr 11, 2013

It is hard to believe it has been 5 years since my surgery!  I feel like I'm not even that person anymore, it gets harder and harder to look at old photos.  I hate seeing them.  5 years later, I'm healthy, happy and living my life to the fullest.  Still best decision ever.

Has it been that long?

Aug 30, 2011

Seems like forever ago that I was a size 22 weighing in at 300lbs give or take a few... But in all realty it wasn't forever ago, it was only 3 1/2 years ago.  Having some vitamin D deficiency but taking a supplement for that.  Things are doing really great, still sticking around 175lbs, but I think i'm okay with that, for now.  I have come a long way and still have a ways to go but for now, im happy.  Happy with my life and looking forward to my future.  Best choice I ever made :)

Three year mark coming up!

Jan 13, 2011

It seems like not so long ago that I was my heavier self, but proud to say that I don't miss it!  I still have my issues with the loose skin and the not so perfect legs or arms but I wouldn't trade it any day for what my body was like before!  My hair has grown back, still thin but at least I have hair!  My son is 18 months old now, whoa can't believe that either!  I was only six months post off when I found out that I was pregnant!  Things have been good, I can eat basically anything I want as long as it is not too sweet.  I don't do dairy either but all things I cant live without.  Through everything I can honestly say that I don't EVER EVER think twice about my choice to have the surgery!

Two weeks post op!  I feel great, finally lol  I dont have any pains what soever and thanks to the support of my family, recovered just fine!  I just thank god everyday to let him know how lucky I am in life, not only in the aspect of the journey I am on, but in realization of how much my family means to me... They are my rock....  So I am not loosing weight as fast as I was, but I'm okay with that, it will come off and I dont want to be saggy anyways... I've also started my purated foods last week, so far so good.... This week I am able to start working out, yay!  Its great to start to see a difference the way my clothes fit.  Whats even more wonderful is that my mom has been loosing weight too... she's such a beaufitul person inside and out...

Six Days Post Op!

Apr 06, 2008

Wow, honestly I don't remeber much of the surgery, I remember checking in, waiting after I had my IV in and brought to a holding room, from there the next thing I remember is about six hours later and my surgery only lasted two.... That medicine works wonders lol  So I stayed in the hospital until Wednesday afternoon, within the first night I was up walking around the nurse's station, everyone there was so nice... I stayed on Morphine until the day I left, after that it was liquid percocett.  Following my homecoming I slept most of the first day back, but now I'm just fine, I stuck to my liquids and my vitamins and I've already lost thirteen pounds!  I cant believe it!  I cant wait to be able to start working out and geting into shape and toning all of my body so I dont have excess skin....  Yay the Journey has begun!

Night before the BIG day!

Wow I cant believe that my surgery is tomorrow!  It seems i've been waiting my whole life for my life to start and tomorrow is the begining of my new life... I have always been overweight and struggled with my weight.  I began my search for the possiblity of surgery about eighteen months ago... Finally!  I look foward to so many different things, things to enjoy in life... I just hope i'll be able to sleep tonight so the time will go by quicker! lol
