surgery tomorrow

Jun 01, 2010

Hello everyone, my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow.  I have been on this wonderful liquid diet for 2 days.  I am still having the RNY.  My surgeon just called to check on me.  The closer that I get to the surgery, the more comfortable and ready I feel.  I prayed with my pastor today and I will pray with my mom tonight.  I am not scared..I am ready.  I will take full advantage of this opportunity, in Jesus Name!  I will keep in touch. I will post pictures often!!

Doing Good

Feb 05, 2010

Hello everyone
I am down to 273 pounds and it feels great to be down from 290 pounds.  I feel as though I am doing something good for myself.  I am up to doing 15 minutes on my eliptical.  I strive to work out daily and I have managed to work out 5-6 days a week.  Soon I can schedule my surgery. I will be getting all of my pre surgery labs and tests within the next couple of weeks.  God is good!!!

Picture posted

Jan 15, 2010

For years I have never liked full body pictures of me unless I was positioned the right way for me to look thinner.  Today I posted a full body picture of myself at my heaviest.  When I first saw that picture in the summer of 2009, I knew that I had to do something.  I must be true to myself.  That picture revealed by true size that I always tried to hide by taking face photos.  I had to accept that I was really that big.   How else could I change my poor habits of eating and lack of exercise. I am currently about 279 and my clothes fit better.  My surgeon would like for me to loose about  4-9 more pounds before scheduling me for  surgery.   I have been doing 10 minutes on my eliptical every morning along with sit-ups on my Roman Chair.  I want to increase my endurance before I increase the time spent on the eliptical. I know that rny surgery is right for me .  I want to feel better..I want to be active..I want to be true to myself.

p.s..by the way as you can see I still like to take face photos..I'm getting there..remember I am underconstruction!!!

My thoughts

Jan 08, 2010

I feel good about my choice to have the RNY surgery.  I feel like I am taking control of my health an body.  I no longer want to be sendentary.  I do not like feeling heavy and tired.  I know that I will be successful because I am doing this for health not just  to look good. I WANT TO FEEL GOOD!  I no longer want my family members to give me their fat clothes.  They are gonna have to find someone else to give those clothes too!!  I do not want any more aching knees!!  I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strenthens me!

How I feel today

Nov 29, 2009

  Hello everyone, today I rode my bike for 10 minutes.  For some that is nothing , for me it meant a lot.  I have been inactive for so long and I have prayed that the Lord will put the desire in me to live a happy and healthy life.  The Joy of the Lord is my strength!! I plan to include activity as a part of my normal everyday life. What about you?

About me

Nov 07, 2009

Hello everyone, I desire to loose weight and live a healthier more active life.  I would say my normal weight is around 165 to 175 pounds.  It is been so long since I was a normal healthy weight.  After the birth of my first son I gained 80 pounds and then I continued to get bigger as the years went on.  I would say my weight is due to poor eating habits and lack of exercise.   I knew I had to do something when my knees began to ache last year. It was hard to get around.  For a 37 year old that is too young.  I had enough!!  Now it is my mission to look and feel better.  I weighed 290 pounds at my first weigh in on 9/14/09. At my second weigh in I weighed 282.  I plan to continue to loose weight before my surgery and of course afterwards until I reach a comfortable weight for me.  My date isn't set yet.  I would like to get surgery by the end of the year.  I give the Lord all the glory in what he has put in me.  With Him I can do all things.
