Hello everyone!  I am so happy to annouce that I have reached one of my biggest goals!  I FINALLY weigh less than my Husband!  Today I am 217.2!  I am so happy I don't even know what to do with myself.  I feel lighter and more people are starting to notice the difference.  I am wearing a size 14/16 pants and a medium to large shirt!  I have collar bones and I think it is time for a new pic!  

Thanks for all the support from all my WLS partners!


Until next time,

Kim 

I AM CURRENTLY 228 SINCE I LAST POSTED :)  LET GO PUNDS KEEP FALLING OFF!

So again, I am in love with my sleeve!  It has been awhile since I have last posted, but I have been working hard at work, and working hard at maintaining this new tool!  I have been going to Bally's three to four days a week and am loving the new energy!

I have lost a total of 40 pounds since surgery on January 27th, and I feel great.  Sometimes I have to double take in the mirror to believe that it is me standing there.  Although I have a ways to go , I can see so much change.  It first started with my face.  Then my neck, I now have collar bones :)  My stomach is going to be a hard task, and gets a little discouraging at time when I look at it, but it is shrinking so I have a little hope. 

My husband has been a great help, and I appreciate him so much.  It is incredible how much my life has changed since being sleeved.  before surgery I was wearing a 20/22.  I am now wearing loose 18.  I am tempted to try on a 16 but I want to give it a couple more pounds beofre I do so.

I can eat a little more than I did when i first cam home from the hospital.  I am at a bout a 1/2 cup to a cup of food.  For example for breakfast I can eat to hard boiled egg whites and 2oz of dannon light and fit yogurt and I am stuffed.  I get hungry around lunch time(12 ish)  and I can eat a half of a boneless skinless breast with a couple bites of a vegetable.  And then I am content until around dinner time like 5pm.  I have noticed I am losing about a pound a day.  The weightloss has slowed down since being on a regular diet, but it is definately falling off.  People are noticing!


Anyways, until next time :)

I am so excited...so a little update....

I was sleeved on January 27th, 2011, and I came home on Saturday January 29th.  When I went to the hospital I weighed in at 271lbs.  When I went for my one week check up I weighed 256 pounds!  On Tuesday February 8th I got on the scale at my sons doctors appt and I weighed 252!  I am down 19lbs YAY!

I am getting nervous now....But these nerves are about success.  This clear liquid diet is hard.  I have been warned, but boy I tell you this is not easy.  I feel like I need to leave the house so I can get my mind off of the snacks and these left overs that are in the fridge! 
I am going to pack my hospital bag tonight, I wonder what to pack?? 

Anyways please pray for me, I want to especially thank my new friend/ my chosen Angel Yenwat!  Athough we just met., we have so much in common, and I look forward to this new found relationship!  You have helped me so much so far i don;t even think you know it :)


See you guys on the other side!

Happy New Year Family!!!

I am bringing in my New Years at work :(  But I am so looking forward to what this year brings..shit this month really!  My countdown will begin when thia month ends :)  JANUARY 27TH!!!!!!!!!!!! 

It's all starting to come together now!  I have completed my urine screen to detect of i have been smoking because I am a previous smoker.  Although i have not smoked in a very long time, my surgeon will not do the surgery without this test.  And i respect him for that :)  I also need to go back to my primary care physician to get another physical and more pre-op blood work.  I have also been scheduled for my pre-op class on January 3rd!

I get asked all the time am I ready?  Am I nervous?  The obvious answer is yes, but it doesnt feel real yet.  Now dont get me wrong, each day that I approach January 27th, I get  a little excited, but this type of change that i am looking forward to is almost surreal.

Well Happy Holidays, and I will see you all in 2011!  I feel like I can really have a resolution I can stick to!


Happy New Year ALL!!!
2011 Here comes the NEW KIM (for real this time :)

I have got to fight this urge to night shift snack!  I am work nghts 7p-7a and I am just hoping that I can dodge these tempations to snack during my shift.  I have gained about 10 punds since working nights(which has been about a year) and I can feel every bit of it!  And these late night dinners have got to stop!  Most of the nurses here wait to eat until 12am!  If i was home I would be sleep but i have now found  myself ordering out with them even though I have maybe ate dinner before coming to work and of course ordering the worst meals possible.  Subs, pizza, sodas ARGHHH! 

Ok now that I have vented I guess i wont pick up that next snack in the breakroom since they are having a Christmas party tonight.


I have come to the conclusion that it will probably be in my best interest to switch to days...besides the eating its nt good for the home life.....

The more weight that I have gained over the years I have noticed the harder it has been getting myself dressed and out of the house.  While you may look at my photos and wonder how could it be, trust me when I say this is a very hard thing to do!  I feel like because I am overweight I have to go those extra MILES to make distract from the weight.  I know it may sound vein or even ridiculous to some but I cant help it.  My hair must be together as well as my clothes.  While some maybe waiting for the day that they can dress nice and wear heels, me on the other hand has no problem wearing heels and such I just would like to enjoy leaving the house average, and not look like a blob.  Tennis shoes and sweats with a little tee.

I am just venting at this point, but my husband took me out this weekend and it was hell to get myself together.  I almost always end up tears halfway through getting dressed because I am so uncomfortable and the person I see in the mirror I do not like :(  Even something as easy as going to look for new glasses.  I was SO frustrated because my hair wasn't the way i wanted it which reminded me of how fat my face is, so  felt I couldn't go looking for glasses with all this going wrong.

Anyways, I just can not wait to lose this weight.  I am so unhappy.  January 27th can not come fast enough!
