Struggles
Apr 08, 2015
So i have gained a bit of weight~ i am back on 2 protein shakes a day and eating protein first. Recently I juiced for 12 days. 2 times a day and then i ate a small protein dinner. I dont know what else to do. I am in the process of getting a appt with my doctor to see what options I have. I need to get that last 30 lbs off~ it is harder than before. I dont like looking at the scale. its driving me crazy.....
A better path
Mar 11, 2014
Today, is gonna be a great day. I am tracking all my intake , and maintaining a 1200 calorie eating better plan. Yes! I said no diet, cause it's no longer a diet. It's making better choices for my life style. I am feeling much better. Eating up to 90 grams of protein, which I was lacking before. I can't wait to get to my goal. I have reached it before, I took for granted on what my WLS can do for me. It's about me now, I didn't fully understand who I was when I was a size 6! I was scared to be thin, cause it always sheltered myself from being thin. Sounds weird, at least to me it does. I value myself more than I ever have in my life. I deserve the best life. I will conquer my destiny.
Just a simple day

Well I started back on my shakes today. I tried to be vegetarian, unfortunately it's not working for me on the weight loss part. So back on organic chicken only. So wish me luck!
My Weekend~
Dec 10, 2012
So over the weekend I managed to lose another 5 lbs. I am very excited that I am getting back on track. Went to grocery store and bought some chicken and a few other protein meats for the week. I am determined to get on track to my goal by New Years Eve. Even though I am not really going out anywhere. Unless he decides to take me out~ I really do plan on going to Rose Parade of course, since I live down the street form it~ I will be where I want to be, and still making a lot of changes. Wish me luck~
New life~
Nov 29, 2012
Its been a rough almost 4 years journey. I have since gained 20 lbs and I am back at getting it off. I have had many road blocks in front of me. I have managed to change my life in a few ways for the better. Since I got the surgery. I have divorced. It was a hard thing, I survived it~ Since then I have the most amazing partner. He is so loving and caring and loves me for me. He is some what of the reason I packed on a bit of weight~ Now I am back to getting it off. I am hoping to have it off by Jan 2013 or at least buy Feb 2013. Wish me luck and I have returned on the site for the support that I have been lacking in my everyday life~

Things are looking better
Sep 16, 2009
I have great news! So yesterday my Aunt talked to my husband. And he finally understood alot of things. We are not talking yet, but we had a few break thru's. He is going to spend the weekend with our daughter and he realizes that I love him, he was feeling not loved cause of my progress. But he does love me and just needs to get himself together. I am so happy that our daughter will finally get to spend the weekend with him, I think he will feel better, cause she is apart of me and looks just like me :) . Thanks to all my family and friends for praying for me! I've been praying alot and God is guiding me thru this journey in my life.........xoxo Felicia

My Progress
Sep 03, 2009
I have heard of people getting surgery and their marriages dissolve, but I felt secure about my marriage and more about myself than ever. Maybe that was a factor, that I was more secure about myself. I still have 33 lbs to go, and that is going to be a big accomplishment for me. I just wish my journey could of been alittle better with my husband on my side. He has since seen me and I know he loves me, guess he just has to come to terms with who I am now, and that I will never leave him for someone else. That is his fear! Cause he told me about my 4th month of my weight loss. I said, that I wasnt going anywhere. I felt that I fell in love with him more thru this process......he took great care of me after my surgery. And I felt his love more. Oh I miss him so much! I just have to be strong for me and my daughter....hopefully he will awake from what he is going thru as well......God Bless Everyone!!!
