Reflections

I'm excited about 2014. I accomplished a lot in 2013 and I can only imagine what god has planned for me in 2014. In 2013 I moved back to Texas, started a new job that is actually using the degrees I have, learned to relax and not to worry about everything, got back in church and got my momma to go with me. I bought a new car, went to Destin Fl, swam with dolphins, made the decision to have the lap band surgery and lost 58 pounds, several sizes and gained a lot of confidence. The clothes I'm wear

2 Weeks Post-Op

It's been too weeks today and I'm feeling great. I started walking again. Already with just 29 lbs down I am able to walk without my legs/knee killing me, I can tell I have knees and ankles for the first time in years and people are complementing me on my weight loss. I can't really tell but apparently others can. I'm on to mushies tomorrow. I'm ready for something besides thin liquids. I'm 2 lbs away from only needing to lose 100 lbs.

1 Week Post-Op

I'm 1 week post op and feeling good. I have a little issue with pain on 1 incision but it's not bad enough to take pain medicine. Thankfully the allergic reaction to the antiseptic is finally going away. I have stuck to the diet completely. Depending on the day I'm still starving most of the time and so ready for the soft food stage. Good news is I'm down 23 pounds total and 12 since my surgery date. Yay! I'm excited about the changes. I can already tell that I'm losing.

1 Day Pre-Op

Yesterday I was having issues with gas but today the gas has gotten better. Since the gas pains have gone I am starting to feel the discomfort of the incisions. I had to sleep sitting up last night because it was to much to lay flat. Bless my mom's heart she is taking great care of me.   Overall the pain isn't bad. I have had ice on my stomach pretty much since I had surgery. My back is hurting today so I have been laying on a heating pad. I can't wait for the pain to go away so I can start mo

Day before Surgery

Yay! Tomorrow is the day. I am excited. Ofcouse I am going to have trouble sleeping like I always do when I am excited. Hopefully tomorrow isn't do bad. I am not concerned about the actual surgery its the after effects that I worry about. Thankfully my wonderful mom will be here to take care of me. :wub:

My Story & Pre-Op Diet so Far

I have had a weight problem for over 10 years. It started out with just 20-30 pounds over weight but I grew older and stressed I ate more and more. I would lose weight but I never maintained the loss. The biggest gain for me started about 3 years ago when I made the decision to move away from my family for my career. At first I was okay no weight gain but as I began missing my family the more I pulled away from the life I had created away from home and dwell on how much I missed home. That's whe
