Long Time

Okay so a month and a half after my surgery I found out my husband had been having an affair for 6 years. I was so depressed, angry, and my sleeve went on the backburner. I quit going on this website. I have been struggling just to get from day to day. I am so thankful that I had my sleeve as my confidence grew with every pound lost. Perfect timing. Now I am back a different person then before. I am going back to school, and am happy I have shown such strength. Yes we are still together and in t

Stall

So I am almost 4 weeks post op and for the past week and 1/2 I have been stalled at 256. I don't understand why I am stalled this early. Granted I know I'm not getting in enough fluids or protein but still shouldn't I still be losing? It's depressing to me I have lost 19 pounds since surgery and 13 preop, but I still feel I should be loosing. Any advice?

Can't Shake It......

So tomorrow I am 3 weeks post op and I am so tired all the time. I can't seem to get all my protein or my fluids in. I know this contributes to my fatigue. Has anybody else experienced this? Sometimes I wonder what I did to myself. I know that it will get better with time but right now I just need some energy and it's making me depressed. I am happy I got sleeved don't get me wrong and I am optimistic about the future but right now it's tough. When will it get better? Is anyone else experiencing

My Surgery

My surgery was 8/7/12 in MX with Dr. Garcia. The experience was surprisingly good. Dr. Garcia was wonderful. Samuel our driver was amazing and even took us sight seeing while we were waiting for my sisters late luggage. The staff @ Ready 4-a Change was great. I wish they would have had an interpreter though as some of the nurses couldn't speak English which @ night was a bit difficult. Also a expert lab person who could draw blood on anybody would have been great as my veins suck and I think the

I'm Off.......

My flight leaves @ 6am tomorrow. I am nervous but excited. I am on all liquids and believe me it gives you a new appreciation for food. I have been grumpy and I don't know if it's cause food has been my outlet for so long that now I don't know what to do with myself. I also just quit smoking which is so hard. I try to remember that this is what I want for myself and that it will get better. Surgery is tuesday so it's almost here. Off to the unknown..........

Pre-Op

So today is day 9 on the pre-op diet. I have my ups and downs, today I feel fatigued and kinda sick to my stomach. I know it's just my body getting rid of all the junk. I am doing well with it though. I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to stick with it but I have done awesome. Surgery is one week from today. Wow it's coming so fast. I'm so excited to just get started with this new chapter in my life. Ready for change !!!!!!!! Just trying to be optimistic and think about the results and not

1St Day

Today I started my preop diet, also am quitting smoking. It's tough but I know I can do it I just keep thinking about my future and the future for my kids. Wow I'm just so hungry but I get to eat a meal at dinner so that's good. I've never been so excited for salad and protein. I just keep reminding myself that I can do this, I am determined!!!!!

Almost There

So tomorrow I start my preop diet. I am scared this will be the hardest thing I've ever done. I am determined and I want and need this so bad. My surgery is in 2 weeks I am nervous but am ready to start a new life for my family and I. Here goes...............

3 Weeks

3 weeks left omg it's going by fast. I am starting to get a little nervous about going to Mexico. I've done all my research and have chosen a great DR. but it's still scary. I'm trying to think only about the positive changes that are to come in my future. Start my preop diet in a week. 8/7/12 here I come!!!!!

Had Enough

Okay so my surgery is 8/7/12 and it cannot come to soon. the longer I am this big the worse I feel. I wake up and my ankles hurt my body is sore I'm so sick of feeling this way I am bigger than I've ever been which is why I decided to have the surgery. I kinda wish I could have decided sooner so I could be having it now. I know it's not that long but every day has become a chore for me. Keep in mind I have 4 kids ages 8,6,3,and 2 so it's not lie I can just sit around all day if I could I would b
