That is all!

I can't believe I am saying this. I have 10 more pounds to go to get to my goal. NEVER in a million years would I have thought i would be right here where I am now. I feel great. It's hard to express in words how I actually feel every single day I wake up as the new me, but I can say I am HAPPY AS HELL!

Hello my OH friends,

I can't believe this journey I have been on. In 19 days it will be my sugeraversary. I started out a size 24/26 and now I am a 12/14. Starting at a lil over 300lbs and ending at 189 is amazing.  I just have to factor in that my body frame is large and i don't know what I will look like at my goal weight since I don't look like I weigh 189, but we shall see. I have lowered my blood pressure, my cholesterol, I have raised my triglycerides, my LDL is great under 100.  I feel great. I can't believe I am a active gym member (LOL).  It feels horrible if I miss a day at the gym.  I love this new lifestyle of living.  If I had to do it all over again, I would, in a HEART BEAT.

This journey is so surreal! I know it is real, but me oh my, I can’t believe it’s me. It’s kind of hard sometimes because I know that I am loosing and I am so much smaller, but I still feel like the fat girl inside. I guess it’s going to take some time for my brain to catch up with my body. At any rate, I am loving myself! I haven’t been in a size 12 in 20 years. Funny thing is I weigh more now and I am in a 12 then I did 20 years ago. Go figure! I love my sleeve!

I never would have thought in 5 months after sugery that I would be 210.  I haveent seen 210 in 15 years! Ohh my goodness!

I have 10 lbs to go to get to onederland and 45 lbs to go to my goal weight! I just pray to God that I keep it off.

Keep me in your prayers OH fam!

Hello my fellow OB Family.  This is week 16 since my VSG surgery on 9/29/2011.  I started at 303 in November of 2010 and today I am 230lbs since surgery that is a total of 73lbs total.  I am so excited.  I am preparing myself to start running, I will see how that goes, baby steps not trying to run a marathon, well at least not yet! LOL!!! Take care my fellow sleevers.

 

It's 10 been 10 weekds post-op and I feel great!  When I started kaiser permanente's program I weighed 303, surgery day 280 and today I am 239 lbs OMG!! I am going to the gym everyday(except sat n sun) and I can't believe it. My husband can't keep his hands off me  LOL not that he couldnt before but man oh man! He lost about 100 lbs 2 years before me.  He didnt have surgery he just changed his eating habits (men!) LOL., but it feels great.  Even my kids notice I am getting smaller.  this was the best decision I have ever made in my life next to accepting Jesus Christ in my life!!!!!

Well OH friends it has been 5 weeks since I have had my surgery and  must say I am doing very well.  My nutritionist give you a list of things you can eat at the stage I am, and I noticed whole grain wheat bread and wheat crackers were on there.  Am I the only one out here who's afraid of breads?  I know we need some carbs in our lives but  man carbs is what got me here in the r first place. 

I am down from a size 24 to a size 18 and the best thing is "I'M NOT DONE YET"!  I still have 120lbs to go.  I am like the little engine that could. "I think I can, I think I can.....I know I can! I feel great.  A co-worker told me I walk with such confidence. (WOW!) this makes me feel great.  I guess loosing weight can change your walk, your talk, and your personality.

Until next time

TTFN

Well on October 27th it will be one month exactly since my surgery, plus it's my bday that day. I have had some good experiences and some not so good, but not in a very bad way.  I still have a bit of trouble with the feeling of my food going down. I have learned to take smaller bites. I have also learned that the more protein I take in and water I take in the weight comes off quick.  In week 3 I experienced a stall for 14 days and today my sale moved 5lbs down. I have learned you do go thru stalls, but I'm OK with that because this is a life long journey.  I can't wait to get to my goal.  So my stats are Starting weight 303, day of surgery 280 today I am 255 one month later.  I feel great. I never really had low self esteem, but I tell you, I feel more confident. I look forward to reaching my goal and I appreciate all of the advice and friendships I have developed from OH. 

So it's been 13 days since surgery and I feel that I am doing great! I went to the doctor yesterday and I cant believe I am down 23 freaking pounds! OMG I didn't think the weight would come off like that. I am drinking water water water and slowly incorporating the foods my doctor says I can plus slowly doing protein.  I am so board at home. I go to the gym in the AM and go home a chill but it's so boaring.  I have to find something for me to do during the day. Saturday will be my daughters 4Th bday party so my husband and I planned a bday dinner for her (Mexican food) my favorite, and I cant eat anything. I know I can get through it, Ive come this far with cooking dinner every night so that's will power.  My energy is back and I was officially taken of my BP medication woo hoo!
