OK it is may 19 i am 10 mon post op and I am down to 220-230 depending on the day. I have been having problems since januaray. and now Dr h Says he is going to have a EXPLORTARY surgery in june ughhhhhhh i hate surgery. but maybe i will feel better!

Hey everyone! Just thought i would write something short real quuick.

I made it theu the holiday and lost 15 more pounds!! I weigh 248 and have lost a total of 120 since surgery! I did great there was stuff i would like to have eatin but I didnt. I was not too tempted I am seeing how much I really want to lose the weight and how non important food is becoming. Other than eating it LOL 

I can eat pretty much anything within limits. I stay away from realy greasy or sugary things. I eat allot of wheat thing and that I would have never thought of doing in the past.

I would not change it at all Even thou I have been thru allot I would not change it at all. I will post 6 month pics in a bit.....and I know I am slackin on the pictures LOL my camera has been broke all I can do is take them with my phone.

Happy new years everyone!

Well today is Jan 1 2010. This past year there has been allot of ups and downs allot of positive things that have happened and allot of negative.

2009 started out bad and ended bad for me. I started out missing my family and friend while in mexico and now that it has ended I am missing my friend again.

Allot of things have grown friendships grown stronger than they were and some broken and hopefully they will be fixed. I have been happy, I have been mad, confused, used, depressed, and then excited, proud of who i am and what I am becoming.

I am seeing who I want to be more than who i was growing to be. I started 2009 in mexico not speaking with my mother. And for those who know me well that was a very hard time for me. but we made it thru it. I had george and janice to help keep me sane at that time. Then there has been loss of family that was not easy either. But what does not kill you will make you stronger right?

I had a gastric bypass july 10 and weighed in at 368 I would have never told anyone how much I weigh until today. I am noticing how strong willed I am and when I want something there is nothing that will stop me. With this surgery I have problems some more than others. I was in a coma in sept because of a reaction to avacado but luckily I came thru. The person I was afterward was not me. I was mean, I was hateful, and at times just crewl to people around me but especially to one of my closest friends Janice.

I took everything personally I did not care about anyone but what I was feeling. Later I learned that all that was due to depression and of all the drugs that were in my system. I was put on advair to help my asthma to make my lungs stronger but that only keep me sick for over a month. In and out of ER and everything on one trip found out I might have lung cancer.......( i will not know til later this month )

I have had new additions to our family baby Gavin and I have grown stronger bonds with some friends and family. I am growing a stronger relationship with my husband. And we had a big suprise brought to us also when we were asked to baptise my cousins 2 children. EXCITED ( that also wont be til later in 2010 ) But that cousin ashley I had not seen in like hummm 8 or 10 years so that was another exciting this year.

I have lost a total of 120 and weighed in at 248 this morning and plan on keep diving down!! I am excited to see how low my body will allow me to go!! This is something bigger than anyone can dream.

If i could go back and change things I would the biggest thing would be pushing my friend away like I did. Now i cant fix it and that hurts shes been there for me for 12 years we were more like sisters.

I am hoping to make things right this year. i hope I can get my friendship back in line along with who I really am. The sweet loving caring person everyone knows. I will not allow my weight to change my heart. I will not let myself turn into what I was becoming I will over come my problems and give my children the best of me and my time. as I have learned we are only granted a short time on this earth and we can be taken at any moment.

Everyone have a wonderful year to come. Live life day to day and charish every moment thats given to you!  

Hey everyone!! So i am 5 months post op and feeling great Wanted to give a big thank you to my girl stacey for helping me out with some clothes YOUR THE BEST!!

So i am slowing down on the weight loss actually I am stuck again LOL it happens. I am at 257 so I have lost a total of 111 pounds. My hubby only wants to me to get to 200 but LOL I know me better I guess he is silly. I am feeling great I am runing with kids and playing more. I actually sit on the floor just because LOL.

I think the only think i am actually having a issue with is my bones. I know that sounds silly but sicne I have been really big all my life I have never really seen or felt them umm but now I can I know I have to deal with that one and I am. But it is just a little weird.

Hey all!! Well i am now 4 months post op/ I weighed in this morning and weighed 268!! Wow i have offically lost 100 pound since liquid diet. I am soo happy. I just do not fit into my clothes./ it gets really annoying. I hate getting dressed lol. Well just thought i would share my news. HOOT HOOT 100 down and 93 to go til i get to my be fine goal of 175 but i would love to be 150....we will see!!

Well so much has gone on and I have not been posting well I have finally got out of 300 pound and that was sooo exciting!! I weighted in at 288 this morning. I was hitting hard spots and was getting stuck but i broke thru it!

I am feeling great but i do not see the weight loss like everyone else does. I still see me as a a huge butter ball. Hopefully I will see it sometime :P I mean damn 80 pounds down you would think i would know by know. I do notice my clothes getting bigger and they do not hurt me to wear them so.....maybe thats what counts right.

Well i will write soon

On sat i was giving my lil sis a baby shower and we made all this food. She made some dill dip and wanted to me try it. I never really have liked that shit too much ( even tho my mom says i do ) . Well i took a bite and I knew something was wrong when my tounge started burning and itching. I went on with life right ugh......

Well then i started to feel really weird like dumping symptons. I was light headed and dizy and itching everywhere. I started not to be able to breathe so i called george to bring my my machine so i could breathe. By then i was not doing well at all. My step mom kept telling me you need to go to the er finally i took her advise and went. I called george and told him I am dying i can not breathe and I am going to the er, He asked me where i was going and Of coarse i say i dunno i am in gardner find me lol and i hung up.

Well i got there and they took me back ASAP i could not talk really not nothing. it hurt soooo damn bad!! I remember telling the burse please dont let me die i did not tell my babies goodbye, she told me she would try her hardest to get me thru. Well I had 2 IVs in me one with meds for ashma and other with stuff for reaction i was having. I had took like 4-5 breathing treatments and still could not breathe.

I remember telling her to just stop the pain i was hurting soo bad.....they did a xray and that was damn painful also. She said that she could stop the pain and help me breathe by putting a tube down my mouth. I said as long as you do not let me die.

So i remember them putting a mask on me I was breathing it and kind of went out of it. Then i had a feeling like i could not move my body but i felt them. I tried to move but could not and then i opened my eyes i remember them freaking out because i was not out yet. I guess it took allot to put me under. But i was in a chemically induced coma. I was coughing so hard that I ruptered a bronical branch in my lunngs and my lower right chamber collapased and a pocket of phanomnia.

I was woke up on sunday from the coma. I am still in pain but he said I should recover fine. I just need to take it real easy. Allot of drama I had god on my side I am glad to be home and I am glad to have my babies i missed them so much. I was scared I was going to die. Dont think i have ever been so scared in my life. I just held my babies today when i seen them never want to let go

Well thats the gist of the story. Thank you to everyone for you prayers and everything!!

So I got up this morning and weighed in and I have lost a total of 34 pounds HOOT HOOT GO ME right LOL

I am feeling allot better I am able to eat more things everyday that passes. I walked and mile at the gym yesterday and swam for about a hour and still felt real good when I left YEAH!! But the sill thing is I can not tell I have lost this weight but I have been told that other people can tell......Hummm I dunno LOL
