Hello All

Today is my year anniversary.  And it has been a year.  I wanted to be at my goal weight, but unfortunately, I am not.  Now don't get me wrong, I am so satisfied with my weight loss.  I am happy to say that I weight 199.3.  Yeah I have been slacking.  I am in a size 14 pants, and a size 14-16 shirt.  Damn, I feel good, and I believe that I LOOK GOOD.  Well for my anniversary gift, my man brought me a bike, so I will need to put that thing to work.  I got a bad new hair cut.  I have to post pictures, so that you all can see it.  I have had a few health scares, but I am okay.   Well, I am so happy that I had this surgery.  I have about 50 more pounds to lose in 6 months.  Can I do it?  Yes I can.  Take Care, and thanks for all your support.

 

 

 

Well, I am just updating, nothing has really been changing with me, and the weight is coming off slowly.  But that's such a good thing.  I say that because I am so broke, I can't keep buying clothes like every week, so I know that this sounds weird, but I welcome the slow weight loss.  Also, my boo is so persistent that we take some pictures together.  And what other place to I have to put them, but on my OH page.  He is so helpful with me and the weight loss, so encouraging.  I love my baby.  Also, just to let you know, since my surgery, I have started to ovulate on my own, without any medicine.  What a blessing.  It makes me feel like a woman, 100 percent now.  I will update later.  Oh yeah, I can't forget about my upper GI study doctor’s appointment on Friday.  Has anyone ever had one?  I hope mine is successful.  Will let you all know.  Jeanne...

 

Hello All,

I am exactly six-months post op, and I am so excited with my progress.  I can't complain.  Maybe me getting under 200 was too harsh on myself.  But I will be okay.  I believe that I am losing inches like crazy.  When I first had surgery, I was wearing a size 22 pants, and a 22-24-26 top.  I am happy to report that I am now in a size 14 or 16 pant, where the 16 is big, and the 14 is nice, and I can wear size 14-16 tops, depending on the cut.  Also before I had the surgery, my butt was pathetic looking; now I am also happy to report that my butt is looking good.  I feel so good about my progress.  If I had to do the surgery over, believe me, I WOULD.  I have no regrets at all.  Now, the only thing that I have to do is discipline myself with is getting in more water, protein, and taking my vitamins, and not to mention exercise.  Also, I am so happy to report that I am planning to get married to my "soul mate".  We haven't set a date yet, but it’s going to happen.  As soon as I know, believe me, my OH family will know.  I hope to post pictures of us this weekend.    LATER...

P.S.  Everyone, keep up the good work.

Hello Family,

How is everyone doing these days? Well as always I am apologizing for taking forever to update this page.  The bad thing about it is that I get on the site everyday, and read other people's page.  Bad of me.  Well I just thought that I would inform people on what's been going on with me.  Besides work, and school, and my man, life has been good.  Work is truly fine, no stress at all.  School is school; I have a professor that is a butt hole.  My man, I love him dearly, but he is so damn jealous.  I mean when I was larger, I really didn't have these problems with him.  It’s so bad; he gets mad when someone even looks at me. I would think that he should ease up.  I would feel good that another person is looking at my significant other.    But maybe he can't deal with the attention that I am getting.  Well he needs to get it together.  Enough about him.   My health has been okay also, the only problem is that my Vitamin D level was low, so therefore, I had to take another pill.  But the pill is one I take one a week.  So, I will update on that in about 3 months, when I get more blood done.  I did update my page with some new pictures, on my 5-month anniversary.  The weight loss is coming off.    I will be six months post-op on 10/24/2007, and God's Willing, I hope to be weighting at least 198, about 20 pounds to lose.  I can do it.  So if anyone in my area exercises, please let me know, so I can join you.  Well I will update later.  I promise to get better.  LATER

I know, I was supposed to update last week, but of course my mind was whack, and i missed my appointment on June 11, 2007.  However, I went today and saw the nurse practioner, and the surgeon.  They both told me that I was doing good.  Drumroll, I am now down to 249.  I am not sure if i will be able to get to my goal of 230 by the 4th of July, but I was told that I shouldn't put a time frame on what i want to use. 

Hello everyone.  I know, I have been slacking, I suck.  But for like the last three weeks, I have been extremely busy.  I went out of town, then I came back and had a birthday party for my 4 year old nephew/cousin.  Those kids drove me crazy.  Then on June 4, 2007, I finally returned to work.  Man ole man, it was a crazy ass week.  Anyhow, when I returned to work, people was asking me all types of questions, related to the surgery.  Mind you, everyone in my division is skinny as hell, so what the hell does it matter about my eating habits.  People just want to be in your business.  Then a few people made the comment "you really look nice".  All i could think about is that, before i had surgery, no one at my place of employment ever told me that i looked nice.  So that just leaves me to believe that none of those folks ever thought that i looked nice.  Well you know how the saying goes, you must think highly of yourself, and believe me, i think that i looked descent before i had surgery also.  Now to my eating habits, they are so-so.  I have an appointment with my Surgeon on 6-11-2007, so i will update you all with that information.  I need to put some more pictures up.  I've lost a few pounds.  After i come back from the surgeon's office on Monday, my goal is to lose between 15-20 lbs before the 4th of July.  I hope that it happens.  My birthday is in September, and i hope to be at least under 200 lbs.  If anyone has any suggestions on what i should do, please let me know.  I am thinking about getting into a water aerobics class, maybe that would help.  Ihope so.  Overall, i have been going good, no regrets or complaints.  Later...

Ok everybody, i know i have been extremely bad with trying to keep up on the posting.  I promise that i will get better.  Anyhow, as of today, i am 260 lbs.  Yeah that's a lot, but hey its coming off.  I went to the docter's office on May 4, 2007, and was told by the nurse practioner (sp) that i am doing good, and she upgraded me to soft foods, such as mashed potatoes, grits, and things of thet caliber.  She informed me that i needed to get at least 40 grams of protein in each day.  WHOA.  She also told me that i am no longer at risks for leaks, now she wants to put me on some gallstone medicine, to make sure that i do not acquire them.  She is so helpful.  Even though she put me on some foods, its days i can go without eating, as long as i have my liquids in, im good.  I will try to update later today, since i have another appointment today.  Oh before i go, i went to see my OB/GYN, and he was so damn excited for me since i had my surgery, he told me some good advice, and he said that he is not going to put me on Birth Control, due to all of the controversy around weight gain and birth controls. So he put me on this perscription, which will make my cycle come like clock work monthly, but it also makes you very fertile.  WHAT A BUMMER.  Oh before i forget, i have met this nice guy recently, who is sexy as hell.  He is a potential new boo of mine.

Well everyone, i had my surgery, and boy, it was a roller-coaster.  Well i went to the hospital at 8:15 on 4/24, and was called back to the pre-op area, to undress.  Why did i have a male nurse, he was kind of cute.  I got undressed, and i was told that the anetheslogist would be here to talk to me, and after that the surgeon will be here to talk to me.  Well i saw both of those people, and thruthfully i don't remember a thing they said.  The next thing i remember is someone yelling my name to wake up, and then i saw my daddy looking over me.  Well the only thing that the surgeon reported to my family is that i had to go to ICU, because i had some major problems with them getting the tube down my throat.  Well for some odd reason, the hospital was packed with patients, they were over booked, i never made it out of the recovery room, until Wednesday evening.  Boy i was mad, no visitors, tv, or phone.  I was getting a damn attitude.  Well, they finally had a room for me upstairs, and i went there, and boy did those nurses treat me like a queen.  Oh before i forget, the nurses in the Recovery area, did their thing also.  The only thing that i hate about hospitals is that you dont get a ounce of sleep.  Every five seconds they are trying to do something.  What another bummer. 


I am getting a little tired, but i will hit you all later with the rest of my details.

Later...

P.S.  Also, i thank everyone that called and checked on me while i was in the hospital.

Well i have exactly one week left.  I am so excited, but scared as always.  Well, i think that i have came to a conclusion.  I think that i have to re-evaulate my friends, both male and female.  I think that those people that have all negative things to say to me, i will have to cut them.  I mean, this is my decision, so please by all means, why can't people just support me, because its something i want to do.   I think that my true friends will come from the ones i met on here.  So at this time I want to thank everyone on OH that has wished me well.  Today, i went to do my pre-admission testing.  It went very well.  So, as of now, i can proceed with my surgery.

Ok everyone, i went to my class, it was very informative.  It was a class of about 5 people.  4 women, and one arrogant ass man.  I mean I just asked his ass when was he having his surgery, and do you know what asshole told me.  He basically told me none of my damn business.  I mean all i asked him was when was his damn surgery.  I mean people in general is crazy.  I just told him that i wish in luck in his surgery.
