Im back , well alot has happened since my last post  wich was about a year ago this month . Me and my husband were blessed with a  new babygirl. We named her Iris , we are extremly happy. We akso have a 11 year boy and 9 yr girl .
 As far as my weightloss it had stopped for now . I am lucky I didnt gain a pound I actually lost weight I was at 217 pounds now Im at 200 lbs . Im struggling with going below the 200 I know i got to step it up and get with the program .
I know Im going to start working out again , I know I have to . I felt sooo much better when I did . I do make sure that I take my vitamins , prenatals since Im breastfeeding . Theres alot of pressure  for me right now , making sure I eat enough for the baby and trying to stay away from junk .
Im going to be on this site more often just to keep more motivated and positive about me loosing weight . Peeps seem to think that just because youve had surgery its all good from now on , theyre wrong theres alot we have to do , We have to be on top of our game now . I dont and will never regret the surgery , Im extremly happy with the results even thoug id like to be at 160 or so but thats a goal that I have to work for its not just a given . Even though my doctor told me that my ideal weight for me would be at about 190 Id like to believe I can or have to be at a lower weight . What do you guys think I think he got that confused : ( any how thanks for stopping by .

Hi all ! Well after being off of work for about 3 months Im back and its great . Not alot going on . I was having trouble with dumping due to over eating because I want to make sure I get enough protein so Id push it but thats all gone . Im doing a better job of chewing and just if Im full not over doing it . 
Reguarding my exercise alot of keeping actve shopping running around . Im at 230 right now its weird because I was wearing a size 18 now Im able to fit into 14 from old navy so I feel great, due to my back injury I stop using the elliptical ,but now that Im at work I will gt back into my routine starting monday . working out @ lunch then I pray that all my weight just melts off me and or I get tone wich is fine . I dont see the scale moving but I see my body changing wich is great so I dont feel that bad . 
I hope that all is going good for all of you . take care 
Love Irma

Hi there. So wuick update all is good , im off of work I hurt my back again .been off work for 2 weeks . My weight is at 245 my Dr. set my goal weight at 190 so I hope to be there soon .. 
I choppedmy HAIR OFF  it was getting to stringy and i thought alright time to cut it and I did it ..

So with the wls , My Rings are fallen off , went shopping at the mall and decided it was time to size my ring, went form a size 11 to a size a size 8 omg it feels good not to have nothing hugging my ring , because I had purchased these plastice small things that wrap around your ring at walmart and I hated it because it worked for a little but still my ring was still loose. 
So Now Im enjoying my new re-sized ring I love it ,,, Now I just need to go get my nails done , I havent had time I took off my fake nails and to my surprise theyre strong not one chipped and keep in mind I always get my nails done youd think they would be weak , but no there strong well ... Im taking Biotin for hair ,nails ,skin and all my vitamins so Im thinking thats helping alot ..
Something I wanted to share Im a nerd (just excited)..

So to begin with , I'll start off with the bad , I chanced it  and it failed , my friend made this sweet patato stuff , she put walnuts ,coconut and sugar , I thought since I can have  some sweets  and they don't do anything to me ,why not have some?? Right? 
Ttheres where it gets Ugly lol , I felt sick like I had too much to begin with and I felt like the only way to feel better was to get it out of my system (ughh) omg that was the first time that I had to do that , It wasnt a pleasant experience @ all but all in all I think I'll just watch my family enjoy the sweet because that sucked and was no fun.. 

So the good for last I like good and postive . So on my workdays I work out for about 25 minutes doing damn close to 2 miles (love it) love the elliptical I just feel like that machine gets me going ,I love the refreshed feeling I get after Im done with work out.

So yesterday my day off . I get on my machine and Im thinkin I'll do 30 minutes since i'd been cleaning and moving furniture around well... I did an hour with entisity level changing throught out workout , 
This is funny because my machine tells me how many laps I've gone and everytime id say ok 45 minthen  I'm done , Id get gready and say on but Im close to 800 in calories or close to finish a lap and I'd  keep going so I guess thats good .  
I'm (extremly proud of myself ) I have to push my self to do more and more , & to be more consistand at my worst weeks I work out 3 times a week , good weeks 5-6 times .
Ive actually lost 3 more pounds this week (hurray) for me ..

I could say that even though I wasn't able to eat much on Thanksgiving Day it was the Best one yet , I felt great ,and felt good. I ate some turkey and lilttle bit of stuffing but I was happy .. (content) I wasn't at all upset I couldnt eat more...
I didnt have desert wich was great , but my family isnt big on desserts any how so go figure , its the food  that get us introuble (fatty) .
I made posole , us mexicans love it , and instead of having pork with it , I had shreddred turkey with a little hominy it was great so delicious : ) 
Im still doing my workout getting better with my time , I just need to get focused on doing weights now (wish me luck )
So with that said , I hope you guys enjoyed your Thanksgiving Day with family and loved ones , I know I did ...
Thanks for stopping by take care. (lil -Update)

So with now going on my 3rd mo. outta of surgery things are much brighter , As far as how much I exercise , how much I can eat what I can and cant .
As far as what I can eat I can have a hard boiled egg for breakfast and im good , I stay away from the bread ,well I try,, heeh lol never for breakfast .
And for lunch I have protein chicken breast with salsa and I have no problems with that , I thinks after the surgery I add alot more salsa or jalapenos than I did before just to give it a kick ,, so far no problems and I'm grateful because without it the food wouldnt taste its best . So then for dinner what I do as Im cooking for kids get 2-3 bites and all and I push myself to have chicken , can you tell Im stuck on chicken lol I love it even though I wish I could have chicken salad for now Im sticking to basic filling up on just protein ,, and thats that ,, Im good as far as working out , I go to our gym for 25 min, I use the elliptical machine (love it) so now im doing a mile in 13 min i do sprints in a way wich i just speed up for 1 min then slow down speed up ,, So well see how it goes , oh... im gonna put the scale away not helping me im stuck like chuck... 
have a good one

So now almost 3 months out everything is sooo much better so I feel Im able to eat a little more so its less frustrating , I do need to work on eating slower (30 min) to eat my lunch because it just feels like I inhale my food . If any one out there has had surgery similar to my date and can relate please let me know ... I feel sooo guilty.
So at lunch I hit the gym to do about 20-25 minutes on the elliptical I wish I could do more , I guess when I get home I should  focus on getting on my machine and doing an hour . Im not drinking  anymore protein drinks . and Im trying my best to get my water in but its so hard with drink wait 15 min then I can eat wait 30- to an hour so with all that take my pills omg!!! its a handfull ,but why should I complain . Right I signed up for this lol .. 
let me know if you can relate or if you have some ideas  or suggestions .that would be great!!
Me .

So this is the deal . We were invited to a Halloeen Party , HOwever I didnt drink due to that Ive had surgery I kinda felt outta place still had fun , just wished I couldve joined my friends my husband had a beer and all , but it just wasnt the same ... I guess it something that 'll have to get use to sooner than later I have no choice .. 
I had a friend that hAD THIS SURGERY , however she did start drinking and doing drugs and  I want to have benefits outta of this wls .I have to be on target as much as I can sooo .. With that said Ill pass on the beer !!! 
Happy Halloween and Enjoy , have fun ...

I just took a couple of pictures .. I will take some body shots soon.. take care and thanks for stopping by.. take care
