hey everyone sorry i haven't updated in a while.
So....so far i have lost a total of 54 pounds since my surgery :) I cant believe how different i feel and how everyone is noticing my weight loss. Unfortunately i just found out i have an ulcer on my new stomach :( I had an endoscopy because i was having extreme pains on my left side by my ribs. I hope it goes away soon but anyway on a positive note i am in ONEDERLAND i weigh 195.4 pounds and have gone form a size 24 pants to a size 15 :)

hey everyone, so heres my update on things. first off i ended my first week post op losing -14lbs awesome i know! but ever since then ive only been losing .4lbs a day :/ im also getting really bored of doing nothing around the house. i want to start working out and being more active. i have a doctors apt this thursday so im going to see if i get the ok to start moving around more because im going to go crazy in this house. Also it seems that i have a bit of a depression going on. i noticed it on maybe day 8 and i guess it might be from sitting at home and the change of food habbits but its really starting to get to me. its also annoying me that my parents wont let me drive becasue they still think its ealry and i would understand if i was on any pain meds but i wasnt given any so im bassically fine.
there have been other things on my mind lately that have been eating at me like: how am i going to look once i am slimmer, will the surgery work for me, will i have skin issues, and things like that but i think everyone thinks of these things in there early stages of there surery. anyway i started to eat apple sauce, chicken, and baked potatos im moving really slow with new foods cause im scared of my body rejecting it. my fav so far has to be yogurt it goes down so smoothly 

 Hey everyone sorry I haven't blogged since my surgery but I feel like a completely different person I don't know if it's in a good way or bad yet. The first day home was somewhat hard I was really sore and had no desire to eat or drink at all. It's day 4 now of my diet and it hasn't really gotten any better I'm still struggling to drink liquids but I find yogurt to go down really smooth (big plus) but the liquids are still a struggle I try to sip on water as much as I can but it's a struggle. I do walk around the house a lot to keep the blood flowing. To be honest I'm craving food soooooooo badly. I see my family eating food and I'm just like wahhhhh but I know soon il be skinny and beautiful and able to eat those foods :) my boyfriend and family have been huge support they always ask if I need anything and keep an eye on me which I really appreciate. My staples have gotten a bit itchy and it's so tempting just to scratch at them. I bought sugar free ice pops and ice cream sandwiches which are sooo good. It's really hard though when I have trouble knowing if I'm hungrey or not which is really annoying me. I still haven't had a bawl movement and Im. Of sure if that's something to worry about. I have an apt on wed to get my staples out hope it doesn't hurt. So far I have lost -10lbs since my surgery which is awesome!  Anyway il keep you all posted as my progress continues :)

 These past few days have been soo busy I barely had time to think about the surgery. But as I got home a few 
Moments ago it hit me that it is only 2 days away.....OMG I can't believe how fast its coming. I keep having the same thoughts in my head: is this the right thing to do? Will I be happy? Will something happen during the surgery? Am I making a mistake? Will i be the person I have always dreamed of or will I still think the way I do? Will I be happy? These are just some of the million questions that go through my mind before bed every night but now there worse because the surgery is so close:/ I'm so happy my family supports me now and so glad I have an amazing boyfriend that will be by my side through it all :) 

 Supper nervous!! Can't believe how fast time is flying. The past 2 weeks with the pre opt diet has been a roller coaster some days a lot better then others. Christmas eve was a real struggle but I got through it :) now I'm nervous about new years eve hopefully I have the same strength to say no to all those yummy temptations:/ yesterday was the first time I really struggled badly I was at my cousins house with the brothers and boyfriend and they made bagel bites, mozzarella sticks, they had chips and all that good stuff and it was so hard not to grab one but I stayed strong and looked away and kept myself busy on my phone. I'm hoping that new years goes by quick and the big day will be here already :) 

 DAY ONE!!! Of my pre opt diet-> il be honest it sucked soooo much I started on liquids all day drinking about 1 and 1/2 protein drinks and drinking lots of water and diet green tea( from Costco) also I had sugar free jello and chicken broth. I really can't believe how hard it was to not think about food :/ I've realized how food has been such a comfort food for me and it's hard to let it go. I heard the first few days are the hardest and I hope I can get threw these next few days. Il keep you all posted as each day. So happy day one is done!!! Have to find a way to keep myself busy do I don't think about food. 14 days left til my surgery 

 I feel like time is running out soo fast. I feel like it was yesterday that I got the call saying I was approved. I have 17days until my surgery and I am scared out of my mind. Next week I start my 2 week pre opt diet. This past month has been the absolute worst. I've been soo stressed with classes ended, my surgery and fighting with a best friend. All this stress has caused me to break down a few times. I'm so grateful to have my amazing boyfriend to help me get through this. My parents have some what final came around and are starting to be some what interested in the surgery I will be getting soo . The only thing I am worried about is working the next two weeks before surgery. I hope I can stick to my diet and be strong willed I know I can do it I've waited too long to mess it up now :) 

 i dont know how to start this subjuct because it is a very sensative one for me. i have 2 brothers , i am the middle child (black sheep) and for the most part of my life i have tried to get my parents to support me in the descions and interests i had. They never had any interest in anything i did no matter how hard i tried. This surgery is no different, instead of accepting the fact that im getting surgery to better my life, my parents are completely against it. I never really cared for their support once i got to high school and college but once i got my date for the surgery, i try to bring it up with my parents to see if maybe they've changed their minds but nope. Ive never wanted there support so bad in my life and i dont know why. im so used to them not caring about me and caring all about my brothers. It's also hard now i guess because my best friend has completely disappered from my life and is going down the wrong path fast and i cant do nothing to stop her. Other then my boyfriend who had gastric bypass and my other friend i have no other support :/ it hurts because sometimes i feel lost and have no one to talk to 

hey everyone. so il give you all a breif summary of myself. my name is justine and i am 20 years old.i am a junior in college and
