  1. i threw up bile 2x. i was sent to get a swallow test which showed the leak. then had a cat scan which confirmed it. life went down hill from there. in fact, down hill isnt the right phrase because that means it gradually got worse. life basically jumped off a cliff. smh!
  2. im trying!! lol. i pushed myself hard today but im proud of myself. im sore already! lol. yesterday i was sweating more than i ever did. today, i topped yesterday! i had drops of sweat on the floor coming from my face & for the 1st time everrr, i had the wet shirt look! i looooove it. its hard work but im sure itll pay off. i havent weighed myself yet but i pray that the weight is flying off with the inches! 1 month & 8 days to go until my birthday!
  3. i am heading out to the gym right now & im feeling sore from yesterday. (sigh) no pain no gain! trying to lose 21lbs by aug 26th! lets go!
  4. it sure does! but the other day i was at the pool & this dominican girl had a tummy tuck and butt implants & i knew i wanted it too!! lol. i have nooooooo butt
  5. so far, no loose skin except my boobs! arms are a little flabby, legs are a little flabby too but thats it. u can see my arms in my after pic. no wings, thank god!

  7. im not sure if ill ever "love" the gym. id love to love it but i dont know.. something about it frustrates me!! i think its sharing with strangers. i dont know lol but yeah i hope to love it one day
  8. well guys, today was my 1st time in the gym since having surgery. its been over 7 months! i took it easy & didnt go too too hard like im a body builder but i also didnt go too easy as to where i wasnt doing much. i have been in and out of gyms for about 8yrs now & i have NEVER sweat so much in my life. sweat was pouring down my face. i loved it! i also had a non scale victory! i usually do assisted pull ups because i have no upper body strength. for those of you who never used this machine, basically the more weight you add on to the machine, the easier it is & more assisted it is for you to do a pull up. you kinda have to climb up onto the machine. anyway, before at 273, i would put it at the heaviest & as soon as i kneeled on the machine, it would start going down! well, because im 97lbs down, i put it at the heaviest & the machine didnt even move!!!!! lol. i was too light! wow. it felt amazing! i smiled like lol so i changed my short term goal. before it was to lose 11lbs in 41days. it is now to lose 21lbs in 41days. if i dont meet my goal, thats fine! i know ive lost a lot of weight & still have to work very hard but if i do meet it, omg! id be so happy!!!

  10. thats a verrrrry long time from now! but thankfully winters coming up so ill be wearing hats to hide whats missing
  11. well some dont have it too bad. but it started slow & then began comin out in chunks!
  12. its a whole lot! i grew my hair out past my butt for the last 13yrs! now i may have to cut it short like halle berry short! :'(
  13. thank you! my hair, my poor poor hair :'( i did a youtube video on it & even showed a sample of how much falls out. it fell out quickly. ive lost 6/8 of all my hair!! its so depressing! i had beautiful long curly thick hair. now its very thin, wavy, shedding drastically and depressing!!! i cant even go get my hair done for my birthday. im going to use a sock bun with side swept bangs to hide my edges. my youtube channel is youtube.com/jasleeve
  14. u have to add me as a friend & then go to my gallery
  15. i was thinking about my short term goal last night & i think i want to change it. im scared to in fear i wont meet it but i think its some what realistic! i said i wanted to be 165 or below by my 24th birthday which is aug 26th. thats 11 pounds in 1 month & 10 days. im going to start hitting the gym today for the 1st time ever since surgery. my boyfriends a personal trainer & body builder so hewill be training me. i think i want to change it so that im 165 or below by my 10yr anniversary (aug 17th) & be 155 by my birthday which is 21lbs in 41days. im going to be weight training & doing cardio + upping my Protein & cutting out sweets! when training & eating better, i usually lose 4-8lbs the 1st week & then about 2-4lbs every week after that. if i lose more than 4 the first week & keep the # @ 3 every week after, ill reach my goal! every yr, i diet & diet for my birthday & never weighed less than 218! this year, i could possibly be 63lbs lighter than what my lowest was!
  16. good luck! surgery isnt bad, i promise! when u wake up, request ur morphine pump! itll knock u out. lol.
  17. i kept mine a secret and only told a selected few but now that ive lost 97lbs, im open to telling more people but NOT everybody!
  18. i have a few non scale victories but i realized today that a nice one is being able to wrap normal sized towels around me! i love it!
  19. youre very welcome love!! my back pain wasso bad that i used to have to take pain meds because it would feel like i was sleeping on rocks! my chiro said that the fat was crushing my back. i was so very insecure. im turning 24 & i felt like i was 50! i knew my weight wouldnt stop going up & down & i needed something to stop it because if not, at 30, id probably be dead! im only 5'1 and weighed 273! it wasnt good. my surgery experience was hell & if i had to do it again, i honestly wouldnt because of my experience with the leak but im glad i did it because it saved my life in the long run! if you have any questions, feel free to inbox me.
