Hello OH friends... I now weigh 310 lbs. I am 11 lbs away from my first mini goal, which is to be out the 300's. I still in a 22 or 24 size jeans, depending on the store. My doctor said im doing ok, but I know I can do better. June 3rd will be my one year date out of surgery and I am really hoping to but 100 lbs down. I brought a treadmill to try to help me with this progress, so far i've had it a week and worked out on it twice for 30 mins. I really think if I push myself I can do an hour, which i'm going to do on my next workout day tomarrow.

I'm 7 months out and so far i have lost 70 lbs. I'm down two bra sizes and in a size 22-24 from a 26-28. I weigh 317. I am happy about my progress and My doctor said i'm on track so far. I would upload some pics if I knew how ( My sis usually helps me). I don't see much difference, but my clothes let me know, I have packed up bags of clothes. Also pepole at work are coming up to me saying, " Have you lost weight ?"

I hope to be at my goal of 200 lbs by my aniversary date of June 3rd. I will try my hardest. Even if I don't make it to 200 lbs I want to be in a size 16-18.

It has been a long, long time since i have posted. So many things have been going on in my life. I gained like 45 pounds back since surgery and I contacted Kaiser about them doing the RNY on me ( I got sleeved in 2008 cause Doc said my liver was still big ). Kaiser said they would do it again and i was put on a long list and wait for contact with a Doc for 6 months. When i met the doc he did an x ray and said that a lot of my stomach was left on, said the last Doc that did my sleeve could have took off more. He agreed to do my surgery and scheduled me for June 3rd.

So I had RNY on June 3rd and was discharged on June 5th. Since being home I went from 388 to 368. I remember when I had my sleeve i was losing like 10 pounds a month not 10 lbs a week! I am still in pain. I think my back hurts worst then my stomach. I really don't have much of an appetite, but I do sip on the protein shakes and eat small amounts runny grits. When I was home from the hospital for about 4 days a had a slight breakdown. I started to cry because I was in pain and I was missing my on comfort: Food. Like most people with food addictions they use food when they are sad or happy. I was so upset I could not comfort myself how i usually do , so i just sat on the bed crying.

So I'm doing better this time around cause I was given a second chance. i will reach my goal of 200 lbs. and getting rid of my high blood pressure.

I have not lost weight in a while. I don't hardly eat the way I used to. If I could just lose 45 lbs I could at least get out of the 300's. I am considering going to my Doctor and asking about getting the RNY, But lord knows I don't  want to be put under again or be cut on again.

Then again maybe it's me, Maybe i am using my tool wrong.  So I have been taking these pills called Advance Cleanse and these other ones called Advance Acai. I hope they will help me toward getting the toward the 200's.

Until next time.

I don't shop much anymore. But the upside to that is that i can fit in some 24's (was in a 30) depending on the cut of the jeans. I was in the avenue and I was trying on some jeans called "boyfriend jeans". The lady working there told me that the jeans run big. So since i usually wear 26's now I tried a 24, and they damn near fell off. So then she brought me a 22, they fit perfect. I felt good being in them cause they are a 22, I don't think I ever wore a 22 I think I just jumped over that size when I was gaining weight.

I know those jeans fit cause of the bigger cut they have. But it feels good to wear them.

Now my upper body seems to not want shrink some, I can still fit most of my shirts (30/32). But my friend keeps telling me that they do not fit, she says they look too big. I honestly don't think they do. I really hate my "back fat" I have been using my weights to work my upper body. I'm working on my "bat wings" too.

Overall I'm happy with my weight loss, I just know that I need to work harder. This is MY year to do what I need to do and get closer to my goal weight.

Hi Everybody,

I have not posted in months because I don't have any thing positive to report, At least regarding weight loss. I have been STUCK at 338 lbs-340lbs for the past 3 months. I will be at  one year soon on the 18th of this month. If I could just lost these 40lbs I will feel like i'm have accomplished something. I would love to be in the two hundereds at his point. I even took a pregnancy test to see if something was up ( it was a big fat negative).

I'm considering going to my doctor and asking for the RNY or something, But i seriously don't want to be cut on again. But overall, I can't complain. I have my health and I'm working and able to take of my family.

Well, i will step my excercise up and quit complaining.

I have been embarrassed to post because I have gained like three pounds. I guess i'm not excercising enough. Well I have get back on track and watch my sweets intake too. My one year aniversary for surgery comes up in November and I wanted to be at least halfway to my goal.

Today I had an appt. with my Surgeon, Dr. Mehran. He said that I was doing good losing 60 lbs since surgery. I keep thinking it should be more, but that is up to me to excercise more. today the scale said 339 lbs. Now i'm at a total of 97 lbs  from my highest weight. My doctor told me that my protein was low, here I thought I was taking in too much meat, guess i will start to drink some Protein shakes again.  Anybody has sugestion on  good protein shake ?

Anica

Well I made to the half way point. Still down about 94lbs from my highest weight. I have went from a size 30 jeans to a 26, my goal is to be in a 18 or 200lbs. So far I excercise 1x a week to my "walking away the pounds" DVD. It is a three mile DVD, I remember when I used to hardly finish one mile, now i can do two mile.

I still struggle sometimes with eating right, I have a sweet tooth and always crave them. I still eat them , but I eat smaller portions of them, I feel i need to work on avoiding them then maybe my weight loss witll be better. By my one year mark (11-18-09) I hope to be down another 50-70-lbs. But I  know I will need to step up my excercise and avoid those damn cupcakes.

My big sister Cali_SL who is on this site is having RNY on June 1st. She has been my support system. It is funny to say my big sister, she is three years older then me and I have for a longs time been the "bigger " sister in height and weight. When we each our goals  we are gonna to be too cute together :)

I am working on accepting compliments too. People at work will say how good I look and I will often find my self saying stuff like, " Thanks, but I have to lose 100 more pounds" I need to say "Thank You" and move on. I don't notice the difference too much, but sometimes we are own worse critics right ?

I have been broken up with my Son's Father for about three months, we see each other maybe 2-3 times a months to help each other out (if u know what I mean).  He texts me and tells me he needs to see me. I tell him he can take me to lunch. At lunch at a Chinese food buffet ( I know bad choice), I start expressing myself and telling him how he has hurt me. To make a really long story short, we start getting loud because I notice people are looking over.  This Asian lady that was sitting next to us came over and told us she was going to pray for us.

After all that I still feel that nothing was resolved. But without him in my life in the same way, i'm OK . I remember when me and him whould go through it and i would binge snacking on cookies and chips. NO more !! At the resturant I barely ate, maybe it was because I was too busy cussing at him. Well the only man I'm going put energy in is my handsome little boy, the best thing that fool ever gave me.

Until next time
