can you believe it 317....

On the 13th of april which was last Tuesday I went under the knife at 334 pounds. An I be damned that one week later I am down over 17 pounds. I mean I'm trying not to lift weights or run because I want to so bad so I am starting to walk an extra 10 to 15 mins everyday. I mean I'm getting more than enough protein but I am ready to get a little more aggressive with my physical activity. Well until I get the ok from the doc then I will just continue to walk it out........... Wow 17 pounds sure do

Day 3 and the scale is moving.....

Hey today is day 3 and the scale is still moving since my surgery Tuesday I have lost 8 pounds. On surgery day I was at 332 and this morning I am down to 324. I mean besides my thoart still being sore and the damn hunger pains I feel pretty damn good. I just pray the thoart stops hurting by Monday before I have to return to work. In all since I began at 350 and now down to 324 that is an amazing 26 pounds. Well hey I will keep yall up to date with my further progression.

I am a bandster now......

Wow I can not believe it is over. I mean the procedure seem to be over before I knew it. I mean as soon as I woke up I told them I could get up and move around a bit. It actually felt good to get up and walk around maybe caus eI had that good ol morphine in me....lol. Well besides the hunger pain and gas pains I'm feeling pretty good. I mean my stomach hurts when I breathe just due to the fact that my insides are healing and my lungs are constantly expanding. I find that if I sit for about an ho

I got a date 4-13-10

I finally got a date and I am so excited. I have been busting my tail on this pre-op diet. I was so excited that I started the pre-op diet a week in advance. I mean I have never been so excited and nervous at the same time. Like I said once before I like to thank everyone on this site and continue to pray for me. Thanks family!

I got approved in a day.......

Wow I am so excited that I got approved and it only took a few hours. I have been going through my ups and downs for the last year or so and now things are finally looking up for me. Well I guess monday I will get in contact with Dr. Frank Felts and from there I begin my new life. When I say I got butterflie out the wazoo I mean it. Out of all the Championships I have participated in, Graduation, prom, I mean besides the birth of my daughter in 2005 this is the most excited I have been in a long

Funny Story

Guess what happened to me....... Well I have recently started a new job as of March 1st and of course that means a change of insurance. So I have to work a full 30 days before my insurance will go into affect. :thumbup: The funny thing is that my New Insurance does not require me to do any of the 3 month supervised diet. :wink2: The other funny thing was that I could have started this job back in Jan so I could have already had my surgery completed..... But I guess it wasnt all bad because I lea

Change of Insurance.........

I am currently going through my three month supervised diet for Aetna’s approval... unfortunately i my company is about to switch over to bcbs..... I wonder if anyone has ever experienced this and I wonder if I would have to do an extended three month program for bcbs or will they except the program that I am with..... I am hoping that bcbs will work with me and allow me to go forward in the process.....

Arent you tired of..........

Arent you tired of people approaching you saying that you dont look as big as you are. What the hell does that mean? I might dont look like I'm 340 but my body feels every pound and looks dont mean nothing if the weight is not changing. Sorry I mean if one more person say that to me I'm going to hop on their back and let them see how heavy 300 pounds is.................:cursing:

Have you ever just felt.......

Today I felt so sick just looking at myself in the mirror. I have been wondering lately how did I get to this size and how would it be if I were to lose the weight. I have watched my mother and sister go through getting the band and it has seemed to work so wonderful for them. I guess I'm just tired of waiting and so ready to get my life back. I am ready to get back out with some of my old classmates and play ball or to go to the park and run around with my daughter without having to take mutipl
