Dealing with Stress

11 Weeks Post OP Weight: 261 Total Weight Lost: -43.9 BMI: 42.3     Let’s just say that last week was a bad week. Personal issues topped off with work issues. Before the surgery I used to deal with stress by eating. I would get a pint of ice cream or stuff myself with whatever fast food restaurant was my obsession at the time. But now that I do not have that option anymore, how do I handle those bad days? Unfortunately I sacrificed my workouts. Instead of going

Learning to Push Myself

2 Months Post OP Weight: 266.4 Total Weight Lost: -38.5 BMI: 42.5   So it has been too long since I have written anything. All in all everything is great! I’m down almost 40bs in 2 months and I am feeling awesome. So what have I been up to this last month?   My trip to Denver was awesome! Spending time with my family was simply amazing. Although the actual travel was frustrating (both my plane there and train back were delayed), it was a great trip. I had a hard

Where did that Month Go?

One Month Post OP Weight: 279.4 Weight Lost: -6.9 (two wks) Total Weight Lost: -25.5 BMI: 44.2     Wow, a month really flew by quickly! It does not seem like it has been that long.   For the most part I am feeling good. I still get heartburn when I eat most of the time. I saw the doctor yesterday and he that it could either be that I am eating too fast still or it could be actual heartburn. I honestly do not know how I could possibly be eating too fast.

Cottage Cheese? Yes please!

Two Weeks Post-Op Weight: 286.3 Weight Lost: -3.1 Total Weight Lost: -18.6 BMI: 44.2     All in all, I think I had a pretty good week. My pain has pretty much subsided. The only pain that I am experiencing is the spot where they actually pulled out my stomach. It is still tender and hurts if I bend, or cough, or sneeze. Sneezing is the worst! Thank goodness I don’t have allergies! But in general, the pain that is there is minimal. I have only been taking the pain medicine before I go to b

One Week Down

One Week Post-Op Weight: 289.4 Weight Lost: -4.2 Total Weight Lost: -15.5 BMI: 44     A whirlwind of a week has ended. Most of it seems like a blur. But here I am now, one week after my surgery, and for the most part I feeling good. I have sure had my downs, but I keep telling myself that it’s all worth it. The support of my family and friends definitely helped me get through the bad days.   Monday morning was surreal. We got to the hospital about 30 min

Tomorrow is the big day!

One Day Pre-OP Weight: 293.6 Weight Lost: -3.1 Total Weight Lost: -11.3 BMI: 44.3     So this is it. Tomorrow is the big day! I am filled with so many different emotions. Obviously, I am super excited. Words cannot express the amount of excitement that I am feeling. Tomorrow opens a brand new chapter in my life. And there is no looking back.   But there is also fear looming about. There is the natural fear that everyone has right before surgery. Prayi

T-Minus Seven Days

One Week Pre-Op Weight: 296.7 Weight Lost: -8.2lbs BMI: 44.7   Before I get into things, I would like to stay how touched I am that so many people have taken the time to read my blog. I never imagined that I would get so many views, and am overwhelmed by the support that I have received. Thank you to all my friends, family, loved ones, and other Bariatric patients for reading about my progress and the support. It means the world to me.   Alright, so it’s T-Minus 7

And so it begins...

Two Weeks Pre-OP Weight: 304.9 BMI: 45.5   Let me first begin by introducing myself. My name is Leslie, I’m 29, and have been overweight pretty much my entire life. I am a customer service manager at the local grocery store chain in Chicago. I have had two back surgeries in the last 4 years and have foot & joint pain.   I decided to start this blog because I thought it might help me to put my feelings into words. I also hope that maybe someone reading this will get
