8 Weeks Post Op

On Sunday 9/22 I will be celebrating my 2 month Surgeriversery!!! I weighed in today at 252 which is 31 pounds lost since Surgery. Also a ton of inches!!! I have been extremely happy with my sleeve. I have had one episode of dumping since surgery and that was a day i was bad and got over 65 grams of carbs. My sleeve hated me that day. I am still on the meat, cheese and eggs and next week I can start adding 1/2 cup of veggies to one meal a day. I am a little scared to see how my sleeve will handl

6 weeks Post Op

I have lost 23 lbs since surgery!!! I am very happy with my progress so far. I was a little disappointed but then took a step back and realized how much weight that was in such a short time. For the first time in my life I want time to go by fast just for the next year. I am almost in the 250's and I am so happy. My first goal is 249 so I am just waiting for the day!!! I haven't seen that amount on the scale for years. Exercise is going well started walking 5x's a week and strenght training 3 d

3 weeks Post-Op

Can't believe it is already 3 weeks. I had my sleeve on 7/22 without Complications. Had 2 hernia's that had to be fixed also umbilical hernia and hiatal hernia. 2nd day was the worst day of all. I weighed in at 283 day of surgery and today I am 268, so 15 pounds gone. I have lost 28 since pre-op. Unbelievable and so happy about it. I have had a bit of an annoying pain that just won't go away and it is under my left breast it is like a muscle spasm it has gotten better though. My back also hurts

5 days till Surgery! A little TMI to come!

5 days! So excited! I am so ready to work my sleeve and begin getting healthy again. Dropped off my prescriptions this morning for after surgery and it was so weird. I am still in disbelief that the time is here. So I got my period on Saturday and had it for 4 days and now its gone. I am praying and hoping it doesn't pop back up after surgery. I hear a lot of people saying that it does. I had some different kind of cramping this period it was more painful. I am doing pretty good on Pre-Op Diet,

12 days till Surgery!

Went to my final appt with the surgeon today and signed my consent forms. Also have my pre-op blood work done. I can't believe it is only 12 days away now. Wow!!! I am still on my pre-op but now following my current surgeons diet. Not too bad 2 shakes and a 4 oz protein with 1/2 cup non starch veggies. I am also allowed 2 SF Jello's, 2 SF Popsicles and 2 Servings of Broth. Its been going good. I weighed in today at the doctors and I am now down to 291!!! Wooo Hooo!!! Down 27 lbs from my highest

Pre-op Diet begins! 17 days until surgery

Well decided to start 3 days early on my pre-op diet. I get 4 shakes a day and 2 SF Jello's or 3 SF popsicles, along with a 3oz piece of meat and 1 cup cooked veggies or 2 cups salad, and I am also allowed 1 tsp butter or 1 tbsp dressing. It seems that mine is a bit more then what others can have but I am looking forward to dinner. It hasn't been too bad however I have been peeing like crazy! Forgot to weigh myself this morning but thats alright I will go with my last weigh in. I decided to st

Under 300 yahoo! I did it!

Well I have broken the seal and am now down to 297. Never to see 300 again!! Thank you everyone who motivated me and commented. It helps a lot to keep me on track. I have continued walking and am working on 3 miles 5 days a week this week. I almost had it yesterday but I got down poured on and had to get a ride home. Boo!!! I am going to attempt it again today. I am having some doubts today about having surgery. I found myself thinking I can do this w/out surgery I am doing it now. But then I

STUCK! AHHHH

I have been stuck at 300 lbs since the 7th of June and I am so frustrated. I have been walking alot and even went for a bike ride over the weekend. I know I had my period last week but come on!!! My official weigh in date is Friday morning so we shall see then. I have never wanted to see 299 so bad in my life. I do feel a difference in my clothes they feel looser so I am using that as my motivator right now. I have been walking and tracking my food religiously and according to my tracker I shoul

Weekends and Night Snacking

Week 1 on my high protein low carb eating plan and exercising 6 days a week. I had been having really bad issues with being extremely hungry at night so I told myself this past week i was going to work on kicking that to the curb. I ate dinner a little later one night that worked, I took a 1/2 protein shot one night and that worked and then I cleaned a few nights and kept myself busy by doing my nails and that also worked. All week I didn't snack or eat crazy stuff after the girls went down. So

My Story

I have struggled all my life with my weight. I was the chubby kid, the porkly pre-teen, the fat teenager and now I am a morbidly obese adult. Yikes that was a very strong sentence. Yes I had 3 yrs of my early adult life that I was just chubby which is only because I am short (5'3) and was actually happy with my weight and would enjoy shopping and looking nice but it was a short lived 3 yrs. I fell down a hill one evening and tore my ACL in my knee and had to have surgery. I ended up being in a c
