Trying to reach Goal
Jun 06, 2012
Hello Friend I hope all is well with every1. As for me I'm REALLY working towards my goal which is 135 I'm now 162. It seems so far away and my 2 yrs will be in Aug. so I dnt have long. I'm trying so hard I've started going to the gym twice a day. I'm now running 5 miles a day plus classes. My dietician has moved me from 1200 calories to 1800 calories a day because of my workouts. To be honest I cld never make it to 1200 before but she gave me some very good ideas to add calories without eating so much food. I must eat something every 3 hrs however.
I would love to hear from someone 2yrs or more out. I wld like to knw ur calorie intake plz respond. Also how many carbs you take in a day?

Hello to all my OH friends and family. It's been about 2 mths and I gotta say life is GREAT. My weight loss is slow, however I'm still losing. I'm now weighing around 172. I'm still working out about 4-5 days a week. I'm in between size 8-10.
I just spoke to a good friend of mine that will be having her bypass in the morning. I'm so very excited for her!!!! Until next time BE BLESSED!

It's Been mths
Jan 09, 2012
Hello OH Family....Well it's been such a long time. So much has happend in my life these last few mths. First of all let me say I'm happier than I've ever been in my life. I'm nw dwn to a size 10. I really cnt believe I've come this far.
I've lost so many friends and even a few family members. So many that I've stop counting. I just dnt understand why they cant be happy for me but Oh well.
It's a new yr and a new me. I cn say that I really dnt give af about what ppl think about me anymore. Love me or hate me. My happiness is all that matters.
I decided today that I will go on this fast with my church. However I will not be fasting from food because that wld be to easy. I'm gn fast from alcohol.
I've also decided to change up my wrkout. I WILL be at goal my summer!!!!!
Let me also say that I wldnt change anything about having my bypass only that I wish I had more support. My hubby and kids are my #1 fan an that shld be all I need. However It's still hard when ur life is changing so much everyday and ppl just continue to HATE on u. I only wish I had more of the ppl that understand that I'm just trying to be happy, healthy, an in shape. It just hurts a lil when I cll the ppl that I thought wld always be by my side and they never have time for me. Family can be a mess sometimes!!!!! Anyways on another note my gas and dumping is still off the chain. I tried cereal again and it was a scary mess. The dumping lasted forever. I was in the bathroom praying for mercy. LOL. I dnt think I will ever be able to have sweets, which might be a good thing!!!! I hope all is well with everyone. Be Blessed

New Orleans Trip
Sep 15, 2011
Hello all. I hope all is well with everyone.
Just wanted to post about the trip to New Orleans. I had the time of my life. The weather was Great. The ppl were so nice. The food was like non other. The partying was out of this world. I met some of the nicest ppl. The conference was super. I got so many ideas. From ways to cook healthy. Ways to stay on track with weight loss. Even had a fashion show and dance party. It was just all around a GREAT trip. It was MUCH needed. I cant wait until the next one.
On another note I have started losing weight again
. I'm super excited for what is to come for me this fall. Until next time Be Blessed!!!!

I hope all is well with everyone . It just dnt seem like it's been a yr. I feel so blessed. I'm still waitin to hit that 199 and I'm one pound away and counting. I feel like once I hit 199 the rest will melt off quick. However I give God the glory for all the weight he has took off me thus far.....
I'm SO SUPER excited about going to this New Orleans trip. I just need to get away and let my hair dwn.
I'm so happy to be out of my stall. Aint no stopping me now. I'm still working with my personal trainer and he aint no joke. Trying my best to tone up a lil.
Still trying to stay on top of my eating. Trying so hard to eat more. My dr say eat 6 small meals but I never think about food so it's a lil hard. However I knw I can do all things thru christ. I prayed about this bypass before I decided and I knw it was what God wanted me to do. I wld do it all over again. I'm really enjoying life to the fullest. It's just the small thing like going to Carowinds with my kids and being able to fit on the rides. Makes me wnt to cry. Bending over to tie my shoe. Walking an running at the gym. Im go thankful O.H an I give God the glory
Until next time Be BLESSEd

Almost 1yr Later
Jul 24, 2011
Hello OH Friends....It's been a long time. Feels like I dnt knw where to start. I've been at a stall for about a mth and a half. The sale was not moving at all. Finally last week I loss 3 pounds. At first I was depressed about it. However I'm very happy with Life right now. I'm looking so forward to my trip with the girls in Sept. Cant wait to see everyone and just get away and free my mind.
As far as my everyday life things had changed. I've decided to cut dwn convo with my family. Some of the things they say about the wight loss started to bother me so I just started cutting some of them off. I'm still trying to learn to eat in the mornings. I still cant eat sweets but that does not bother me. I'm still working out. I'm planning to start with a personal trainer next week. Still hard for me to run without running out of breath. Still jumping rope and loving it. I'm hoping the trainer can help me to tone more. I'm now looking into getting the skin cut off my arms. Found a Dr. for 5,000. That's the cheapest I cld find. Overall I'm very excited about my new life. Even tho I've been thru a lot I wld do it all over again.
Until next time Be Blessed

Dumping!!!
Apr 01, 2011
I just need to come and unload a lil' bit.
I have been doing the same old things that I do just about everyday. I drink coffee coolatta's from dunkin donuts (sugar free). I dnt eat anything sweet. (with real sugar). I dnt eat starchy or greasy foods. I real thought that I knew what works for me......UNTIL I just started dumping on EVERYTHING.
I just want to know how in the hell do you dump from things that dnt contain sugar, grease, or starch???? Things like veggies, even water. I 'm talking bout for like 3 days. To the point that I'm afraid to eat or drink anything when I'm not home because I dnt wnt to blow up the toilet in public restrooms.
I just think about ppl that NEVER dump and think "Why Me".
Well I'm glad to get that out. Thanks for ur time. I know things will get better. I just had to unload!!!
Almost there

Hello my OH friends....It's been a while, I hope all is well with eveyone.
Well it's been 7 mths and I'm proud to say that I'm dwn 97 pounds from my highest weight which was 2 weeks before my surgery. ( I only lost 11 pounds in that 2 weeks before on the liquids).
I'm just so excited, I'm starting to lift weights more and more so I can tone good.
I'm so addicted to the gym. I love going and getting all my stress out.
As for my appetite...Well I still dont have one. I'm not really worried about that because my Dr says I'm healthy. I get all my protein in everyday. I'm trying to eat bread now. It's so hard to get it dwn. makes me feel so full and like its stuck.... However I'm loving the new me....Until next time be blessed!!!!
