Home from hospital. Hernia repair was a success. Golf ball size hole in my abdominal wall. The pain is unbelievable! My sleeve surgery, hysterctomy, and c-section combined didn't hurt this bad. The good news is, he tightened the stomach muscle above my navel, so that's one less thing I have to get done when I go for plastics...

Only 2 more days until surgery to repair this large incisional hernia with colon obstruction. I blame Jillian Michaels for it! My bariatric surgery says that he weakened the muscle with my sleeve surgery, but Jillian broke it
Either way, it hurts, and I'm miserable. Just get it over with so I can get back to working out! -
Determined to jog 3/4 of a mile today. I still don't have the stamina I want for jogging; all those years of being fat have ruined my knees. But Monday I did 1/2 mile. Today I'll try to push through to do a little more!

Went to my doctor for my 1 year post op appointment (even though it's 2 weeks early). He's uber proud and asked me to speak to another group of potiential sleevers. I jumped at the chance! I've already refered 4 people to him - 2 of which got surgeries already (bypass & band), the other two are 2 months away from their 6 months before they get their sleeves. It is the best thing I've ever done for myself!

My 2012 plans - in no particular order: Save at least $5,000 to go toward plastic surgery. Pay off my bills. Move. Tell the people in my live that I love and appreciate them, everyday. Stop getting in my own way. Take care of myself, mind, body and spirit. Thank God everyday for His blessings. Love my son to death - he'll be 15 this year and has his own circle of friends (I just pray he stays a good boy). Continue to coupon like my life depends on it. Only shop the clearance...

It's after 2 am and I'm still up. Trying to decide if I'm going to order the Wen haircare products. I think I'll try the Hair One from Sally's first. It's only $10, compared to the outrageous cost of Wen. It's funny that now that I've lost weight I actually care about what I'm using on my hair, face, body, perfumes, clothes and shoes.. I never gave a crap before. When you start taking care of yourself, you want to do it all areas!

Loving me some decaf hot tea! Man, it took me 35 years to fall in love with this stuff. Now I can't get enough of Earl Grey, or Vanilla Tea!
-
I think my body has decided that it doesn't want to lose these last 3 pounds so I reach my goal. I'm okay with that! 153 is a good weight.
-
Down to my goal pants size - an 8. Only 3 more pounds to lose and I'm at my goal weight. What a crazy ride these 7 months have been!
-
I lost another 2.4 pounds since yesterday. Heartbroken is NOT the type of weightloss plan that I want to be on!
-
Heartbroken, sad and devistated. The love of my life just ended our relationship. My heart hurts. But, I've lost 3 pounds in the last few days because of the drama and arguing. Trying to see the silver lining isn't really working out...I tried though.

After the 5 days of rain, and floods here, my eyes wouldn't adjust to the sunny sky yesterday. Kinda happy it's cloudy out and supposed to rain again. It's not so bright. Only downer...I can't go for a walk.
-
My doctor asked me to speak to a group of people interested in the sleeve during his information session! He's proud of my weight loss and wants me to speak about my experience to other potential patients!!!
-
Kinda bumbed, all of my size 12s are too big now, so I got some 10s thinking I was ahead of the game. Now they are saggy in the butt and I need a belt. It's back to school time. I don't have money to buy size 8s!
-
Just walked 10 miles in 2.5 hours! I'm getting faster. The bionic woman's got nothing on me!!!
-
15 pounds away from my final goal! Don't think I'll make it by Labor Day, but I don't feel like pushing myself or "dieting" anymore. I'm losing weight the way my body wants to right now, and I'm okay with that. It's a little slower, but it's not a race. I'm doing it right and I'm healthy, so I'm okay with that!
