I bought a "magic bullet" which was a complete waste of my time! Last night I was walking through target and decided to look at the blenders one more time. I saw the Ninja SALE! And they would also give me a $20. Gift card so I got it???? best shake ever! I've been talking about it non-stop today!

Well I've been wanting to post a #transformationtuesday for a while but just haven't done it.. But here it goes.. In the last 7 month I have transformed a lot. From a whopping 380lbs person to the 238.4lbs I weighted this morning.. It's been a long long road but dropping 142lbs has been well worth it.. Many people have asked me how I have done it and for a while I chose to keep it private but what's the use? Back on September 10th of 2014 I made the decision to enroll in a weight loss class at Kaiser just to view my options about how to control my weight. They were very helpful and I gained a lot of knowledge on what to eat and basic nutrition. But they also informed me of many different weight loss surgeries.. I wasn't really looking down that road but when I looked at what could be my potential health risk I started to weight my options. You see my family history and their health problem; with my dad having heart problems, diabetes and dying of a heart attack at the age of 50. I decided to make a drastic change I my life. I decided to have the gastric sleeve. It was not only for my benefit but for benefit of my soon to be wife to insure that I would be around for many many years to come. So on January 26, 2015 with my then fiancé, my mom and sister by my side (and a visit from Aunt Candice) I went in for surgery to have the Gastric Sleeve.. I do have to say that it is one of the best decisions I have ever made (up till that point the best decision I made happened on 05/16/2015. I feel amazing I am no longer border line diabetic and can run and move without loosing my breath. I am not worried that when and if my wife and I have children will I not be there for all those special moments in their lives.. Some people my shake their heads in disappointment saying I could have done it on my own and maybe I could have.. But the pros in my decision out weight the cons.. I love me and I am happy with myself and my body.. I'm not done yet still have about 40lbs to go till I'm at my goal weight.. But if anyone has any questions about my surgery and if I would do it again I would say YES a million time over.. And those of you who have 100+ to lose I highly recommend you look into it, not only for you but for your families sake.. It is not a easy way out. It is not a fix all solution, it is a tool and at times it is difficult but in the end it is so rewarding

My surgery date was Dec 3rd, I got weighed when I arrived at the hospital and I lost 16 pounds mostly due to anxiety and the pre op liquid diet. From the time i stepped off that scale until i went back to thr operation roon the conversation consisted of "Do you really wanna do this? "Why can't I try to lose the weight on my own?" I know my family just loves me and cares but I am 25 years old I made up my mind that this is what I want to do for me and I would appreciate it if everyone would butt out! I have recently decided that I will not be disgusting my gastric sleeve with any other family or friends because I don't care to know their opinions.

Old habits die hard. No one here can say they haven't been tempted by a " food of the past", it's just normal to want what you use to eat until you find an alternative way to eat. Heck. I crave Peanut Butter like a mad man, I tried it yesterday. Still delicious as ever. But I realize there are to many calories and fat grams. I'd rather not waste my calories on that. ( I'd eat jars of it weekly before I started my pre-op diet)
