I am almost at my goal!

May 14, 2009

It's been way to long since my last update (months).  Well I am down about 85 pounds.  I started at a sized 22 and now i am a size 10 or 8.   It's hard to believe how i feel now.  I still see lots places I need to lose but overall life is so much better on this side of the bench.  I can run and play with my kids with out getting out of breath.  I have been going to the gym 4-5 days a week mostly doing cardio but will now start weights.  I am also going to start training for a 5k.  Shopping so much better now, but the new problem is i seem to lose weight so quickly now the close all get to big in a matter of weeks.  But I really am not going to complain about that. 

I still have alot of trouble with food, I also know I am not getting enough protein.  That is something I am going to try and work on.  Red meats are a big no, no for me and now i am having trouble with chicken.  Really the only thing that works on my stomach is cheese and crackers and any bread or junk food.  thankfully I don't really go near the junk food just a bite every now and then.  I really don't keep the stuff in the house.  And if I do have it I get so full so quick that it doesn't really matter.

Looking back to myself a year ago I would have never believed that I would be this happy.  The surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made. 

till next time xoxox

Here I am again, sorry I haven't updated in a while.  I am now under 200lb.  I have about 33 lbs.  I am feeling good, but I feel like I am in a stall right now.  I have not lost anything in about 2 weeks.  I have been going to the gym about 3 times a week and keep VERY busy when not at the gym running around after my 3 kids.  I am having some difficulty finding foods that I like and that agree with me.  But this will pass (I hope).  If anyone has some good ideas on high protein foods please pass them on.  Thanks for checking out my profile. (if this entry sounded off it's cause I am very tried and writing late at night, SORRY) God Bless

Well tomorrow is they day I get to start "soft" foods .  Rather blended or pureed foods.  I am hoping I can figure out enough different stuff to try.  But either way happy to be able to use a plate and fork/spoon again.  I did get weighted in and was down 12 pounds in just 10 days.  So I guess I am off to a good start.

On another note, I am feeling better, much more like myself. I still have those "why did I do it" moments.  But I am hoping that will change with food.  There has been no post-op pain.  And I am excited I get to start the gym.  I have been having trouble keeping down any of the chewable vitamins.  But have now switch to a Liquid Calcium, that helps since there was so many chewable Calcium's to take (6 to be exact).  Well off to bed, just wanted to keep everyone updated.  Also if anyone has any good ideas for the blended/pureed part of the diet they would be a great help! Thanks for checking in on my profile.  Best wishes to all !!!!!

I'M HOME!

Sep 28, 2008

Well I went through with it.  I was in tears the night before not sure if I was going to go through with it.  I second guessed my decision.  But when it came down to it, I knew I had to do it. 

So I am home, just in a little pain.  All the gas they put in you.  So i am trying walk it out.  But it is true what they say, it's gets better every day.  So back to my walking I just wanted to keep everyone posted.  Thank you for words of support before  and after surgery it helped me a great deal !!!!

GREAT NEWS!!! I'M APPROVED!!!!

I am so excited.  But now I have a whole new issues.  I am now scared that I have made the right decision.  What if there is complications, I have 3 small kids at home and what if something happens to me.  I know I have been cleared and I am very good health other than my weight but I still worry!!!!!  I guess it is normal to go back and forth with your feelings on this.  I am hoping in the end this is worth it! 

On another note, I go tomorrow for my pre-op nutrition and labs.  I hope my weight went down some.  That has been a problem for me.

till next time....

Well I have completed all my pre-op clearances. I have my date and now I am just waiting insurance approval.  I can't even explain how much of a wreck I am.  I can't eat (for once) or sleep.  I am driving my husband nuts.  I can't wait for this to happen!!!!  I will keep you posted...
