Recommended Posts

WELL MY NAME IS CRYTAL I AM 28 YRS OLD, I HAVE TWO CHILDREN 5 & 9 AND A WONDERFUL HUSBAND. ALL MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN OVERWEIGHT STARTING WHEN I WAS IN THE 3RD GRADE I GOT TEASED ALOTE AND I BEGAN TO LOSE IT WHEN I WAS IN THE 7TH GRADE, I STAYED THIN UNTIL I WAS 19 AND GOT PREGNANT WITH MY DAUGHTER AND I GAINED 70 IBS WITH HER AND THEN 1 YR LATER I LOST THAT DIETING AND WORKING OUT, THREE YRS LATER I HAD MY SON AND GAINED 50IBS WITH HIM AND I HAVE NOT LOST THAT. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK TO LOSE THE WEIGHT AND FINALLY I DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DRASTIC TO HELP MYSELF THATS WHEN I WENT TO THE OPTIONS PROGRAM THROUGH KAISER, I GRADUATED FROM THAT AND I MET WITH MY SURGEN AND MY SURGURY IS SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY THE 19TH OF JULY........

OK I AM REALLY EXCITED BUT FEARSLY SCARED LET ME REMIND YOU I HAVE TWO KIDS AND A HUSBAND THAT I COULD POSSIBLY BE LEAVING BEHIND IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME, BUTTTTTT I HAVE FAITH AND BELEIVE IN GOD AND I KNOW IT WILL ALL BE OK. REASON FOR SURGURY IS ALL OF THE ABOVE BUT MEDICALLY THERE ARE REASONS AS WELL, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH POLYSCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROM IF I DONT LOSE 50+ IBS I COULD DEVELOP CYSTS ON MY OVARIES, AND I HAVE HIGH CHOLESTERAL AND BORDER TILTING DIABETIES. SO THE SURGURY US A WONDERFUL CURE FOR ALL OF THOSE AND THATS WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO.

AFTER MY SURGURY I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO LIVING A HEALTHY LIFE AND PLAYING MORE WITH MY KIDS, NOT HAVING BACK PAIN AND BEING ABLE TO ACTUALLY RUN AND JUMP WITH OUT DYING LOL. AS OF NOW I WEIGH 257IBS I AM 5"9 AND I GUESS THATS IT FOR NOW I WILL KEEP MY WEIGHT AND LOGS POSTED.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
