I AM THE RANDOMNESS.
I strive for mediocrity.
I'll settle for GREATNESS.

*Cheese is one of my favourite words.
I'll miss the sandwiches the most.
*Sometimes I fall over for no reason.
I might be afraid of boiled eggs, just the white part :[
My name is Ashlee, I'm 24, I'm almost 6' and have a BMI of 52ish. I've struggled with my weight all my life. Last year(2007) my mom, my aunt and my cousin all had RNY and I didn't. I still thought I could do it on my own. Then in December just before my birthday(#24) I decided that I didn't want to fail anymore, that I couldn't do it on my own. Now of course I wish I had done it last year, hindsight is 20/20, but now I'm ready. I went and had my consultation with Dr Pop in Ypsilanti and was approved RNY(Lap) no tests and we were all excited, July 14th. I had my appointment with my doctor on July 29th to get all my stats and whatnot to send to OHIP, so I'm currently waiting, I'm not sure if I'm actually waiting on OHIP or my doctor, because I've heard she tends to dilly dally so, I wait patiently -ish, I wait anyway
August 21 got OHIP approval, waiting for a date.
August 27 GOT MY DATE
OCTOBER 22
Now it's not a wait but a COUNTDOWN, countdowns are exciting
.October 20th
Had my PATs, I'm a healthy girl says the doc. They did the bleeding time test and... I'm a bleeder, which I kinda knew. The lady said 9 minutes is something to not shoot for so of course I hit 8:30 on the dot, cuz I could, not that I wanted to(she seemed to be getting concerned, every time she'd say another minute[she also said she didn't usually do this test so...Idk]) October 21 on clear liquids today for surgery tomorrow, and I'm hungry... That's all. October 22
Had surgery, I remember only saying goodbye to my mom then I woke up in pain so I got some extra clicks of morphine to make me comfortable then ice chips and my own clicker. October 23 Got my X-ray then my popsicle, I think it was blue raspberry but I swear it tasted like a tootsie roll, later I got my tray I had the broth, juice and second popsicle(which somehow tasted like doritos, I don't know why, don't ask), I had a tiny bit of jello but really couldn't have anymore. Gained back the 10 pounds I lost pre-op (the lovely IV) I also did laps and laps around the hallways then Dr. Pop came in and said I could go home, I was kind of asleep at the time so later I asked the nurses and they had to call him to check if he really said it, and he did so I left for the hotel, so yay. October 24 had some yogurt today and I'm feelin okay had my shower so that's all for now. October 25 had soup (strained mushroom) sooo good. Getting used to stopping before its too late, had a couple rough times...mmm pudding. November 5 two weeks out I'm feeling good but I really am over pudding and soup and I really crave MEAT real food, not so bad that I can't stand it, I'm just really looking forward to pureed tuna and I'm not even a huge fan of tuna, but I want it. November 8 changed my avatar, it didn't look so sad as a regular picture but tiny like that...Idk.
November 11 pureed stage sooo nice. I've always loved cottage cheese... still do... mmm... food.
November 12 changed my avatar again, it is a little happier then the last. Had chicken pureed with the fat free mayo(not a fan, its the whole egg that makes it good) it was alright, would have been better on bread w/ ketchup(I love ketchup, stupid sugar) November 30 Had been in a stall for a few weeks, it has officially ended
YAY. December 2 And it's back as soon as it left...
December 6 tried an egg, it was mean to me, felt really really really sick all day, really. 
December 9 One Pound DOWN 
December 10 2 pounds today 7 WEEKS = 50 POUNDS I'M GOLDEN, WOOHOO!!!!!! 
Must have been all that water I drank last night 
The power of water
December 19 I have been getting in more water lately and I'm losing pretty steady(finally) which I am really happy about. December 22 I am 25. A quarter of a century old. Not that its a bad thing.
January 5 2009 I can finally wii fit, technically I should have been able to 6 lbs ago, but it was being a judgmental stupid thingy. Woo Hoo Soo much fun. January 20 70 POUNDS LOST & ALMOST 3 MONTHS OUT . This is the weight I was when I graduated high school in 2001. February 3 80 POUNDS LOST February 6 I got my hair cut today, really short, trying to deal with the falling out. So far so good. I look like a boy though. New avatar. February 11 I've named my pouch Bernice, after thinking long and hard about it, I settled on Bernice. I've also named my elliptical machine Betsy the Dragon. February 15 TWOTERVILLE February 25 I have a shoulder blade, probably two. Anyway I was scratching my back and I really noticed it for maybe the first time ever.
February 26 92 POUNDS LOST 4 months out. WooHoo.March 3 I think I have shin splints, I told my brother and he says "HOW? You don't move your feet on that thing(my elliptical)". Anyway they hurt, also my knee popped (I was stretching and I squatted)really loud and kinda hurts anyway. March 11 I tried fitday.com for the first time, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. It is awesome and I'm kind of fascinated by it(clearly I have little excitement in my life). March 12 I went to the doctor cuz I've had a kinda heartburn in my throat so I got a proton-pump inhibitor, anyway. MARCH 20 100 POUNDS CENTURY CLUB!!!! April 10 I deactivated my facebook account, I think I need to take a break for a while, I'll go back eventually. April 15 I went to the gym for the first time, my brother tried to kill me, he's like a Mr. Jillian (without the swearing though:P) April 16 I fit a size 18 pair of jeans, down from I don't know what. My last jeans were a 26 but the waist was kind of stretchy and I hadn't worn them at my highest weight. -112 lbs too. May 30 I fit a size 16 today, tight but I fit. June 22 8 months out down 136, size 16 jeans. Tried a scrambled egg today, it worked so well I had a second one later. August 24 10 months and 2 days out and 150 POUNDS down. About a 12-14 jeans. So . September 22 11 months out 155 POUNDS down. I'm not really sure whats happening but I've been losing a pound a day for the last three days after not losing any for quite a while. Not complaining. :) Make that five in three days... CRAZY!!
June 4 2010 Its been awhile since I've been here, oh life. So I've been hovering around 170ish lost, I'd like it to be a bit more. I'd love to get to onederland. Everybody says I'm skinny and once in a while I will see it too, but sometime not so much. I joined a roller derby league, for the exercise and to meet new people, the girls are great, the exercise is great when I'm not injured and can do it, haha. I spend quite a lot of time on the disabled list, its still fun though, and it gets me out there. RANDOM STORY: I wanted a Winniper Jets shirt, they only had XXL and youth XL, I got the Youth one and it fit. Anyway, back to it.
