Let the scolding begin....

No I havent been on here....NOR have I been on my youtube account in almost a year. I really honestly thought I was going to be this awesome example and keep up with all of this stuff and really show you guys, start to finish what it was like to have the sleeve. Well In that aspect I did fail, and to the general public who was relying on me for that information I am truly sorry. It was just one thing after another, my laptop broke, my dad left for Iraq, I moved, twice, I had school and work and all that Jazz. I have to give big ups to the people with families to take care of and jobs and lives that still find the time to be dedicated to this...I am far too lazy.

REGARDLESS

It has been almost a year, My surgiversary is April 20th, so I figured I would hop on here and let everyone know what was up with me and that I am in fact not dead, contrary to popular belief. My starting weight weight was 278 and I am Very Happy to report that I am now down to 165, 160 on a good day lol.....I have been slacking lately a lot. If I work out my body responds with weight loss...and by work out I mean walk. If I dont I still lose, JUST very slowly. Now as for my diet, lemme put it this way.... I dont have one...Yes punch me in the face, what was the point of surgery? Trust me I am always aware of what I am putting in my mouth and I will say that about a month ago I went back on low carb and it really does work. I try to stick loosely to that still. But I am 25, I go out every weekend,so I drink a lot, and On top of that I have a few dates a week...So I eat out a lot...I am hot now So I gotta keep up = D I am very happy where I am but this is not my goal. My original goal was 155, which I am almost there. Of course when I noticed how the weight was falling off of me I created a new goal, which is somehwere in the 130s .....I dont have a whole lot else to say except Thanks to everyone that was here to give me the info I needed to make this decision. I am thrilled that I took the step, and If anyone has any questions for me I'll be around and I swear I'll try and answer this time = D

Thanks

Yea, I am still alive... I thought I posted on here to tell everyone my laptop is destroyed and so I really only get online to check my email....My incisions healed up a while ago,and i am down 50 pounds this week = D....Just totally slacking because I have limited internet access.. Thanks for asking = D

I lost 17 in the first 7 days....so I'd say so.

You guys are super sweet = D

Thanks!

Hardcore...

Hey Guys!

Sorry I have been suchhhhh a complete stranger..I am just stopping by QUICKLY to let everyone know I am completely fine. I actually have had a lot happen in the last two weeks that has been affecting my vst time. First of all I broke my laptop = [. I cracked the screen, and it is like almost 150 to fix it. SO I said screw it and hopefully when I graduate hair School ( yes you can indeed graduate form there) I'll ask for a netbook. SO that is mostly why I havent been on so much. Also I FOUND OUT MY DAD IS COMIMG HOME EARLY =D. Which is completely exciting, most of you know he is in Iraq. So because of him coming home we have been looking for a new bigger place, which i found, and I have been packing up and we are moving this weekend...So yeah lots going on with him coming home. Running lots of errands. AND Losing weight!!

Other than all the extra stuff.... Everything with me is normal...All my incisions healed...I take all my Vitamins, try to drink Water... eating mostly only protien...AND I am really seeing results...I can't wait until I can go back to full workouts...that is in about two weeks which is perfect because it will be right after I move.... Life Is pretty good right about now....

So NO I am not dead.

Just Busy! Thanks everyone for being so supportive...= D

I have been counting them all, but I am just finding out about this fiber business... Sounds interesting = D

Ok, when counting carbs....are we counting ALL carbs.......OR Carbs minus Fiber content.......???

Thanks = D

It moved today....254.8 this morning = D..I just think I need to walk more....and REALLY pay attention to what I am eating.......I am going on a walk soon to keep up the sexy downward momentum = D

You absolutely did not offend me...I just get frustrated with folks when I just asked for a little comfort and I get a list of things I am "doing wrong"......Or things they think I am doing wrong, like the incision thing....that DOES piss me off....you were sweet so thanks = D

Yeah but I haven't lost anymore....

But thanks for putting it into perspective for me babe .... = D

Thanks everyone who did in fact post something encouraging, I really appreciate it =D

The following message is not for you = D

OK soo now, I have to be a BITCH, because someone is well...nevermind, name calling is not nice.

FIRST of all..... MY incisions are NOT infected....If you "watched" my videos, you sure didn't watch with the volume up...I took my stiches out earlyISH...I was told 7-10 days, but that they prefer I take them out after 10..I took them out on day nine....So thanks, but try ACTUALLY LISTENING next time....

SECOND.....I did not expect to drop all the weight in a week..I am upset because 90% of the time I FOLLOW THE "RULES" yet my body only gave up 17 pounds the first week and has yet to give up anything else. For those of you who seem to think I am stupid, please stop responding to my post. I do like exercise, but I am not allowed to do any until Week six.... What I am also upset about is larger people like me seem to lose more quickly except me...BASICALLY the whole post is about me pretty much being jealous that I am not losing like them...and I want to be..and I am worried because i haven't lost ANYTHING since the first week... I did not ask everyone to jump all over my ass and tell me how wrong i am doing things....so thanks for your backwards encouragement....

For now I will try to stop worrying...

I am STILL not losing. It is almost three weeks out, and honestly I am PISSED. I SWORE to myself, that I wouldnt do this, that I wouldnt be upset if I hit a stall or whatever. That was a lie. I feel like I did this surgery for no reason right now, and I HATE to say that, but I just dont understand what is going on. I eat atleast HALF if not a quarter of what I used to. I spend more time thinking about food NOW, then I ever did before surgery, which is the complete opposite of what I wanted. I am just frustrated and the longer I dont lose the more stressed I am getting. I hate this.

Yay for stalling out on week two. Next week best be better. = /

I am SOOOOO glad I found this....I have done the same thing and now 4 out of 5 of my incisions are a mess.....I was on day nine thinking I was fine too. I even attempted to go to the er, but the triage nurse said they wouldnt stitch them back up, just make sure they were infected, which they arent, and rebandgae them ...all and all a waste of money because I dont have insurance, so i left.

I am 24 and only about a week out, but I can already tell you if this surgery would have been an option at 18 I so would have done it.

lol I sent you a pm to ask you the same thing, thanks for responding...Now I am worried...I crammed deli meat in today, while it did take me a while to get it down, I still cant tell at what level of discomfort am I actually done, so i just kept eating = / I hope one day I figure it out...

Like really how is NO ONE but you and I gonna ask this? Or better yet how is NO ONE going to answer it = [ Come on guys I know someone knows...

Yay! Congrats! It gets better everyday = ]

I meant the LARGE dancing banana Stacy left me...Get your head out of the gutter Janet! Plus I hate real bananas....lol

I am in love with the banana..

Are you taking an acid reducer? that is usually the first thing people say here when that question is asked....

Tiff

SOOOOO it has been a week since my surgery....AND if you direct you attention to my ticker you will see I managed to melt away 16.2 pounds in SEVEN DAYS..I nearly peed when I stepped on the scale!! I love my sleeve!!

You know I randomly thought about this last night when I was falling asleep, so I decided to stick my two cents in.....

Honestly when you are 100% sure you dont need it.....The next flight I got on, Id leave it buckled in to the seat belt when I got off. We have apparently ALL been fat at some point and we know how shitty it is sometimes, and I really think if you "kinda" donate it to the next person that needed it, you'd feel amazing. Like "This is me taking my next step in life" kinda thing.

I am 7 days out but I have been drinking both since the 24 hour mark when i was finally allowed something. Cold bottled Water, warm broth, cold tea, warm tea, and cold apple juice is about what I have lived off of. I have drinking like a mad woman, I was mostly afraid of dehydration so anything I could get my hands on I drank..
