Long Time!!!
Wow i have not been on here since my surgery.. It's been a whole year and I am down only 50lbs... But its all my fault.. . I haven't really been following protocol... I do go to the gym but not as often as i should.. I eat much less now and i am basically not able to eat all bad foods.. lol like fried foods, bread, i have trouble with alot of meat...even fish! but chicken is ok and sometimes beef, but pork is a no no and so is steak... One day i had ate a piece of steak, and it got stuck and i could not eat for the rest of the day... I could not even drink water, everything just came back up. .. That day i lost 5lbs... lol Not Kidding.. so far I have only had 2 fills but i am going to make an appointment soon for another one cuz my weight loss has slowed terrible am im actually gaining my weight be now.... but I can't wait to get out of the 200's I feel that if i keep on the right track i will be 199 by christmas... Well that's all for right now.. Have a nice night everyone!!!

My Internet Sucks
Im back at school and the internet sucks this semester... anyway... im at a stand still with my weight loss but this week im going to up my gym usage... 15 lbs down since the start of the process, just 9-10lbs down from surgery... it goes up and down everyday.. its kinda frustrating but i know i am not doing and eating everything i should... i mean i don't eat that bad, its still healthy food, its not like im downing burgers and fries or greasy foods, its just hard for my to break the habit of not drinking with food, like sometimes i forget that im not supposed to do it but i do practice everyday to remind myself not to get a drink... its just a hard habit to break, when you been doing it your whole entire life... plus i can eat more than i expected but i know once i get the one fill that my doctor is talking bout at our first fill visit everything is going to change... portion size and certain foods.... i have had a roll, but i am still kinda scared to try pasta or rice...

1 more day!
:smile2:Now i am 23 hours away from surgery.... This liquid diet thing is not bad at all i haven't even really been hungry.. i didnt even really eat anything today.. Like i had my water, i had one container of SF jello, about 8 ounces of chicken broth with one scoop of Unjury unflavored protein. and i had 1 SF popsicle and one of m 8oz optifast shake for dinner.. and its 1am and i am not even hungry, usually by now if i had regular food i would be starving.. i just really hope to get all my calories and protein in after surgery because i don't think im getting much in right now... i hope i still continue to lose more weight before my surgery.... oh did i tell ya'll? i lost my 2% weight requirement for surgery!!!! YAY!!! Thank the lord!:thumbup: My nutritionist think that by a year time i should have lost more than 100lbs.. she said i have be doing so good with my food diary and my food choices, like i told her, i know how to diet, its just sticking to the diet that is the challenge.. but im getting sleepy my Bandits friends good night all and God Bless!!!

:-( Sad weekend for me!
This weekend was just horrible, My brother had got robbed at gun point, he gave the boys his money and they still shot him... and then the next day My favorite uncle dies... this has just been a bad weekend altogether.... and on top of that i just found out that his funeral is on the day i have my surgery, i wont be able to attend because i already put in the time at my job and i can't reschedule becuz school is bout to start back up and my surgeon wont be able to do the surgery til the 27... too close to school and if we don't attend the first week they take us off the roster for the semester.... AHHHH i just hope i wont have to be to the hospital til like 1:30 becuz his funeral is in the morning.... RIP UNCLE NELSON, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

Frustrated with myself
You should definitely start a blog on here... it will help you alot... i used to have those feelings, some of them still exist, especially the man part, but you have to love yourself before you can love someone else you know? otherwise in the relationship you keep wondering why that person love you... i had to learn that myself... I have always like me, but i didn't know i didn't love me... so i learned to love me... it feels so much better to be loved by urself... fat or not, love every inch of yourself...

How long was your journey from 1st Dr.'s visit to surgery?
I started mine on June 2, 2010, I have my Surgery This Friday August 20th... It could have been earlier if the nutrionist was more available for me... I didn't have to do a 6month diet but i did need to lose 2% of my body weight... which i am still working on because the surgeon never told me i had to do it... my dietician told me 2 months later.
