Hi I am 32 years old and Happily awaiting my surgery date which is Nov 7,2006. I am a proud mother of 2 children, daughter (10) and son (8). Happily married of 13 years and very devoted to my church home FRC. I have battelled weight from a kid and I am short so weighing 257lbs at 5/2 is not good. The tricky thing is I am solid so I dont look like a weigh that much in person but on pics I look huge. I will download some before pics of me and then keep you posted through my new journey of weight loss. I live in MN and my surgery is being done by Dr. Svevenson at Methodist Hospital. I am excited but nervous at the same time. I had a breast reduction about 5 years ago whewwww my boobs were huge LOL 44 DDD. So hopefully with the weight loss my chest will be portioned to look normal with my smaller size because right now you cant appreciate them! Anyways I will be back on here once I have more to report. I just wanted to add reading every ones success and seeing before and after pics have definitely encouraged me and I am excited. I know I have some chanllenges before me but I am determined to beat this weight and not have this weight beat me!!. Until next time.

Well I have made it to the other side!! I had my surgery last Tuesday and it went very well. The only thing was on Tuesday night I had severe bleeding at my incinsion sites. I lost alot of blood so I was very weak. I felt like I could not breathe also it felt like my lungs were just clogged. That was my worst night the other 2 nights were fine.I do not remember much after the surgery I had little pain which was great overall the expereince was not bad. I am definitely glad its over.
I had my first post off visit Monday I lost 11lbs sinces surgery date putting me from 254 to 242. I have had no problems with my liquids I did start full liquids today and it seems to be going fine so I have no complaints. So far so good. My next doctors appt is 12/15/06 so I will definetly be updating again. I go back to work 12/04/06. Until next time!!

Well I am a full month out and feel great I am down from 254 to 220..I feel good about that. My clothes are fitting much looser and I feel great. I work out 25 mins 4 xs a day. I have not had any bad experience with the new food I have been introducing back in my diet. The only thing is right now nothing taste the same so I dont get the same joy out of eating. Im ok with that. I dont do protein drinks alot of them have alot of sugar. So I just try to get my protein in through meats and yougurt and that seems to work fine for me. I am not milk lactose YIPEEEEE!! So I am doing fine and I owe it all to my Jesus who is my lord and savior. Until next time I will update again after my appt in Jan. Ooh yeah I do great on my flinstone vitamens and I will begin taking my b-12 shots this week.

I am currently 180 and wearing a size 14 they are even starting to get a little loose. My weight loss has slowed down which is fine I am 4 months out so I expected to platue but I am still loosing inches so the cloths are getting looser by the minute. I will have to load my before pics on here so you guys can really see the diffrence, but I am soo happy I feel great. I am getting ready for my kids spring break that is starting April 1st and we will be going to Orlando we go every year but this year is special because I will be skinttie!!hahahaa..I will be coming back with pics of course. Its funny because my appettite changes sometimes I can barely eat and other times I feel like I can eat a whole full coarse meal. But I no that I cant. I still workout faithfully at least 3 xs a week I do abb work I am really trying to tone at this point getting ready for summer you wear less cloths. My skin is not too bad but I will be getting the extra skin removed after a year. I want to be 20 more lbs down by the Orlando trip so I may have to up my cardio and get more strict with my diet to acheive that goal!!LOL...So here it is I just wanted to check in being that i have not updated in a while!! Until next time............PEACE!!
