Accountability!!!!
Jun 01, 2008
It's been too long since I have posted... here it goes!!!!! I am posting for my self and for all the pre-ops and newbies. I will be 2 years out on July 25, 2008. I have at least 20 lbs heavier than I was this time last year!!! Yup 20 lbs!!! This is very scary to me... however, I know that I am responsible for this. I could give many excuses why this happened, but I won't... there is none. This is real talk... I refuse to go back to where I was but if I don't get back on track immediately then the weight gain will increase... the devil is a liar...I ain't having that. Soooo... Cookie has called for a serious protein train starting tomorrow... and I am going to ride it until it stops. I have got to turn this thing around. I have to get back to the basics...watching what I eat, stop the grazing, and get back on my exercise regimen. The next time I post I will posting with a weigh loss....no gain!!!!! I am definitely feeling the 2 year itch though... but I am not going to beat myself up about that because at this point there is no way I will be at goal by July!!!! However, my goal is attainable!!!! God bless to you all!!!
It's been a while... but here's what's going on with me...
Apr 07, 2007
Hello all... I really need to do better about updating! Anyway ... I am no longer working out with my personal trainer... I got the tools that I needed from working out with him and I joined the gym a few months ago and I am working out with a girl that works at the gym and also use to train with my trainer for about 7 months... so she knows it all. Sometimes she works me out so hard that I can barely walk after about 24 hours... but I am loving it. I am up to doing 2 miles on the treadmill in about 25-30 minutes... which for my butt is good... I actually walk/jog. I usually do strengthening exercises about 3-5 times per week depending on KeKee's schedule (she is who I work out with) and when she can't work out with me I work out alone (mostly cardio) I also work out with my sister as well! I finally did get the scale to move so I am between 199-200lbs... I am in a size 14...so I did start losing inches as well again... THANK GOD!!!! I was getting so discouraged. This journey has been amazing and I go through different phases where I still feel HUGE!! Today is one of those days... actually the last 3 days or so.... I am going to do the protein train next week and up my game in the gym... b/c I didn't go 1 day this week... just sorry.... but hey it is on and poppin' next week for sure... I have to make it do what it do... summer is quickly approaching and I have to be H-O-T...so me and my baby can walk on the beach looking good together... I didn't say nothing about doing it in a bathing suit honey... still have that extra skin...LOL!!
Anyway that is what is going on with me!!!!!
Just an update
Feb 14, 2007
Hello all!! I can't believe it has been over 2 months since I have updated! (sorry) I spend so much time on the forum I forget to actually update on my profile.
Well here is what 's been going on with me. I am very discouraged right now because I can't get the scale to move to save my life. I started working out the day after Christmas with a Personal trainer, I work out with him 3 times a week for an hour, and recently I started adding some days of cardio when i don't work out with him. I would like to think that I have added lean muscle mass and that is why the scale won't move. My trainer told me not to pay attention to the scale b/c of this, but as a wl patient this is hard to do. He did take my measurements and fat % when we first started but I haven't asked for an update. I also noticed this past weekend, when I was looking in the mirror, I notice (more ) sagging skin in my mid-section. My stomach was very large before surgery (if u want to see look at my pre-op pics and then compare them to current photos) and now for the most part I just have ALOT of skin hanging and I was wondering if this was adding the fact that the scale won't budge. Now don't get me wrong, I have not gained 1 lb... thank you Jesus... I just haven't lost any either. I have been trying to get to Onederland for some time now... I still need to lost 11lbs to be under 200lbs... I so want this.
Now I don't mean to sound ungreatful b/c I am not, I thank God for allowing me the opportunity to have this surgery, and an uneventful one at that. I started this journey at 301lbs and I am 210lb (not too shabby) I have just been stuck in this place for too long and I am ready for the scale to move BACKWARDS (have to specific and what you ask for so I must stress that I want scale to move backwards and not forward) THIS IS STILL, IN MY OPINION, ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I HAVE EVER MADE... I HAVE NO REGRETS WHATSOEVER!!!!!!
My next post will be letting you know that I finally made it to the Onederlands. Keep me in your prayers!!
Be blessed!!
WHAT?!~
Dec 12, 2006

Nov 30, 2006
November 30, 2006
Finally I have broken that darn plateau... I was stuck on 220 FOREVER!!! I weighed myself yesterday and I am at 213 ... I can't believe that I only have 13lbs well 14lbs before I am under the 200 mark... who would have "thunk it?" It is unbelievable...
Anyway just wanted to post and let u all know how things were going.
JJJJEEEEEAAAANNNNAAAAA WHERE ARE YOU????
Feeling Good
Nov 04, 2006
I JUST WANTED TO TELL EVERYONE THAT I FEEL AMAZING. I KNOW THAT I AM STILL IN THE EARLY STAGES OF MY JOURNEY BUT I FEEL SO GOOD ALREADY I AM AFRAID OF HOW I AM GOING TO FEEL AS THE WEIGHT CONTINUES TO COME OFF. THIS HAS SINGLE HANDEDLY (hope I spelled it correctly) BEEN THE BEST DECISION THAT I HAVE EVER MADE. I HAVE NO REGRETS!! I ENCOURAGE ANY AND EVERYONE WHO IS IN THE PROCESS OF CONSIDERING HAVING THIS SURGERY OR ANY OTHER WL SURGERY DONE TO BE PRAYERFUL ABOUT IT AND FOLLOW YOUR HEART. DO NOT BE CONCERNED WITH OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS OR THE NEGATIVE STORIES THEY HAVE HEARD. YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU AND NOBODY ELSE. IT IS YOUR LIFE!!! I WANT TO BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO SPEAKS POSITIVELY ABOUT THE SURGERY... I AM HAPPY, I AM ALIVE (THANK YOU JESUS) AND AGAIN I HAVE NO REGRETS!!! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED ME AND PRAYED FOR ME. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND CONTINUED SUCCESS!!!

APRIL 3, 2006
Today I submitted my application to the surgeon for approval. I called back later on that day to confirm that the nurse had received my application. She confirmed the receipt of it and said that she would be in surgery part of Tuesday and would try to begin working on it Tuesday or Wednesday.
APRIL 12, 2006
I logged on to the obesityhelp webesite to read some of the profiles. I am so ready to have this done. So very very ready.
APRIL 13, 2006
Called and spoke with Janet to check on the status of my application. She said that everything looked good and that I would be getting a packet in the mail soon, and she would begin setting up my work up appointments. THANK YOU JESUS!!! I am so looking forward to my life AFTER the surgery. I will feel better and I know I will look better. Now don't get my wrong, I am not an ugly girl now, but I am not one of those "big girls" that is comfortable in her skin. There use to be a time that I was big and confident but now... I am not, okay so that was like the turning point for me and then the health issues came in to play (the high blood pressure and high cholesterol) That's all from being too big.
APRIL 18, 2006
I received my packet in the mail. My sleep study is scheduled 5/4/06, my consultation with my surgeon is 5/18/06, and my nutritionist consult is 5/22/06. Things are falling in place. God is really moving quickly on my behalf. I am so greatful for His mercy and grace, and unchanging hand. I spoke with my primary physician and asked him to submit my clearance letter to my surgeon. I am both nervous and excited. I am going to start watching what I eat and increase my exercise. I have to call labs tomorrow and see if ther is a certain time that I need to go in and have my lab work done... YEAH!!!
APRIL 20, 2006
I went to Quest Diagnostic after I got off work today and got my lab work done. I am really stressing out at this poing trying to figure out how in the world I am going to lost the 20-30 lbs before surgery. I want to do it...heck I have to do it. I need to do it. God help me!! Please!! I need to buy the optisource, but, financially I am strapped right now. I will make it happen somehow. God will see me through.
MAY 3, 2006
I received a call from Janet (the nurse), my lab work results had come back and now I have to take a series of antibiotics for 2 weeks to clear up the bacteria in my stomach (h pylori? I think) that can lead to gastric ulcers. That prescription is $70 WOW!!!
MAY 4,2006
I will have my sleep study done tonight.
MAY 5, 2006
I received a call last month to set up an appointment for my psych evaluation. They are out of my network, so I will have to pay $450 out of pocket (up front). My appointment is scheduled for 5/25/06. They said I can pay 1/2 at the appointment. WOW!! God is so good to me, He is amazing. He worked it all out for me. I was able to order my optisource online today ($60) and I will get my prescription tomorrow and begin it. I had my sleep study done last night, it took me forever to fall asleep. I am on my way. Yeah!!! I am determined to make this happen.
JUNE 1, 2006
Haven't updated in a while but have had a lot of progress since I last wrote. My sleep study results came back and I DO NOT have sleep apnea...no worries because with my BMI, high blood pressure, and high cholersterol... I automatically qualify, so the lack of sleep apnea is a plus for me.
Okay so lets back up a bit. I had my consultation with the surgeon on 5/18/06 that went well. Dr. M was impressed with my knowledge of the surgery.
On 5/22 I had my nutrition/dietician consult with Kim , she was very nice and very informative. I learned a lot, I am so looking forward to having my surgery. I am speaking that into existence. I will be having my surgery. I had to pay $135 on the spot to see the nutritionist.
On 5/25 I had my psych evaluation with Dr Weinstein in Snellville. I was nervous about this appointment. I know that I am not crazy... but just the thought of having to be evaluated was making me a little nervous. I was worried about saying something that might make the Dr. think I am crazy. :) I arrived about 9:35 a.m. my appointment was at 10:00. I had to fill out a ton of paperwork (true or false)etc. I was not done with that until about 11:00. I met with Dr and had a really good session. He said that he could tell that I was ready for the surgery. He said he could feel it and said that he would recommend me for surgery. YES...THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
I dropped of my letter of understanding to Janet today. I am officially done with my work up as soon as my psych evaluation is sent back. My packet will be ready to go to my insurance company for approval. I had to get records from previous doctors, basically showing that I have been obese for at least 5 years for the insurance company. I was able to get the information from a previous Dr and my ob/gyn.
I have been drinking opti-source shakes for a few weeks and that has been fine. I have been staying away from carbs, drinking lots of H20 and crystal light, been using splenda instead of suger. I have been so CONSTIPATED from all the protien, I wish someone would have told me. I have had to take 2 laxatives this week...WHEW!!!
Oh yeah rewind... on 5/22/06 when I went to St. Mary's for nutritionist consult. I saw a girl that had surgery previously but I wasn't sure it was her, so I didn't say anything. However, the next day when I was leaving work, I saw her again. I asked her if her name was Stephanie, and it was. Long story short I told her who I was and told her that I was trying to have the surgery. We talked for a while. She gave me a lot of input and tips. She has no regrets and said she would do it again. That was so encouraging. I think I want her and my friend Retta (who also previously) had the surgery) to be my online angels
I am praying for a quick response from my insurance company. GOD IS STILL GOOD!!!
June 2, 2006
Guess what? I received a message from Janet today stating that she had received the information that I sent in to her on Thursday and she also had received my psych evalutaiton from Dr. Weinstein on Thursday. She submitted all my info to my insurance company today. I can't believe how fast this is all happening. I am so excited. Now my prayer is that my insurance company will approve my gastric bypass surgery E-X-P-E-D-I-T-I-O-U-S-L-Y!!! I called my best friend first and let her listen to the phone message from Janet, my sister second, and Retta third. I asked all three to say that prayer for me tonight.
I can have my surgery as early as this month and I figured July but hey June is cool with me, not a problem for me June would be perfect!!!.
Lord please let them approve me ASAP, no problems with anything, and complete approval for the surgery at the hospital that my surgeon works. YES LORD! Now I wait. YES LORD God is good!! Retta says God is just opening doors for me. Thank you Jesus. He still loves me!( I already knew that).
June 6, 2006
I called my insurance company to make sure they have received my packet. The first rep didn't see that it had been received and transferred me to another rep, he also did not see my info and told me to have the Dr fax over the info again to another number. I hung up with him and call and left a message for Janet. She called me back and said that they did have my info and she had to call them back on next Tuesday 6/13/06.
June 12, 2006
I went to see my primary physician. Upon my weigh in I have lost 5 lbs. That encourages me, because I was getting so frustrated. My doctor asked me when I was having my surgery. I told him I was waiting on approval.
June 13, 2006
I couldn't stand it any longer. I called the insurance company to check on my status. I AM APPROVED!!! THANK YOU GOD!! He answered my prayers. APPROVED!!!
I called Janet and informed her, of course she had to verify the information through the insurance company. She said I would get a call from Elaine to set up my surgery date either later on that evening or in the morning.
June 14, 2006
I decided to call Janet since I had not heard from Elaine yet. Understand that I needed a date to make it feel real to me. Janet was not in so I asked for Elaine, she got on the phone and gave me a date of 7/13 for my pre-op and 7/25 surgery date. YES!! Thank you Jesus. I am so happy. I told my sister and best friend. I went online today and emailed Stephanie and asked her to be my angel, I also called Retta and asked her. (both said yes)!
June 15, 2006
I started my shakes again. I want to lose more and more weight before surgery, so there will be no issues. I am believing in God that I will come out of surgery perfectly fine and live a long wonderful life with my children and husband, or at least until He come to take us all home during the rapture- the end of this world, but not before. I am going to enjoy my family in my newer, slimmer body!! I can hardly wait. I have 40 days left before surgery. I plan on continuing my weight loss up until that point.
June 17, 2006
I have 38 days left until surgery! That sounds like such a long time from now but prayerfully the time will fly by. In the meantine, I will continue to lose weight.
Guess what?! on Tuesday I weighed in at 5lbs less then my weigh in a few weeks ago. Today I weighed in at 5 more lbs less. I want to keep this momentum going. Hopefully by my surgery I will be down at least 20lbs. That would be really nice. I am so excited.
June 21, 2006
I went to a WLS support group meeting. I was so amazed at some of the weight loss.
June 23, 2006
I weighed my self today I am down 3 more lbs. That is a total of 13 lbs. Keep it going girl!!
July 13, 2006
Haven't written in a while. Today is my appt with Dr. M I was nervous about my weigh in, because when I weighed in Monday (after my vacation) I had gained some weight, but thank God, when I weighed in I had lost 15 lbs since he last saw him. Thank you Jesus. Dr. M said that b/c I had lost the weight he asked he could tell that I was serious. It is on and poppin now ... I had to go get my labs and ekg, and xrays done after I left Dr. M.
July 14, 2006
Janet called my to tell me my labs were back in and that my potassium is low, so she had to call me in a prescription. I was nervous when she called b/c I was like please don't let her be telling me I can't have the surgery, but it is all good, (the devil is a liar) I am scheduled to be at the hospital at 6:30 a.m. on the 25th. I am so happy.
I have been working out with this equipment I ordered off tv, called Bodyflex. It is amazing, and what a work out it is. I am still drinking my shakes I just started back on them Monday. It took like a week for them to come in the mail. I am still watching my carbs. I still want to keep losing weight up until surgery.
GOD IS SO GOOD...
July 21, 2006
Hello all just wanted to update. I have only 4 days left until my re-birth. I am a ball of emotions today. I am feeling so many different things. I have been happy, sad, nervous, and depressed. I did not know what was going on. I spoke with my angel Retta today and she let me know that all these feelings are normal. I am about to have my life changed forever. Am I up for the challenge??? You bet your sweet behind I am. I am ready, ready. I guess I am just anxious.
Also I just want to thank each and everyone that has posted well wishes and blessings for my upcoming surgery. God bless you all and thank you!!!
July 23, 2006
Well guys only 2 days left. I actually told several of my family members last night of my upcoming surgery. I first decided not to tell them until it was over, but just last night I told my husband I was going to tell them, I figured it would be better if we were all on one accord because as we all know when praises go up blessings come down... and I know that the more prayers for me the better. Everyone reacted ok... my sister in law cried, she was a little scared, but she came around and they all wish me well. I weighed myself again yesterday and I am officially down 21 lbs (my weight keeps fluctuating though) and I am pre-op. WHEW HOO...... I will probably be up a few lbs tomorrow but no worries. I have not been eating ridiculously, but if I wanted something I would just eat or taste it to get it out of my system because tommorow morning will be my last real meal for a while. I know that the liquid diet will be tough ( I am trying to prepare myself as best as I can for that mentally) but in the long wrong it will be well worth it and that will be my reward!!! So I will ask God to bless me with the strenghth to get through it and having said that I know that it is already done!!! My husband and the kids went to church today and received an awsome word from the Lord so we were blessed. Again I say to you... GOD IS GOOD ALLTHE TIME AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!!!!
JULY 29, 2006

August 4, 2006
Hello all!! I am trying to be really good about updating post op. I am feeling a lot better today, my energy level today has been pretty high. Thank God. My hunger pains are real though, but I will survive. I went to see my surgeon yesterday, he removed the JP drain tube, and everything looks well. I have lost 6lbs that is 1 week post op, not too shabby. I had lost 21 lbs prior to surgery, so for me that puts me down 27lbs total, not since surgery though, but I will be glad when I am able to plug in those big numbers. I have to go back in 2 weeks and then I know it will be a larger number, I can't wait. I know my page looks boring but I have been trying to get it spruced up for a while, Retta says it takes time, b/c volunteers do it. So hopefully soon, because it has been a while.
August 12, 2006
Hello everyone. I am currently 18 days post op and I have lost 20 lbs since surgery and now a total of 41 since my consultation in May. People are definitely starting to notice already. I must admit it feels good, and I am just starting. I can't wait until I can start exercising so I can tone this stuff up as I keep losing. I am trying to stay away from the scale, but it is so hard for me. I am trying to only do it once a week though. TRYING ANYWAY. I will post soon. I am going to put up some pics soon!!!
August 29, 2006
Sorry it has been a couple of weeks since I last updated. I am back at work now. I have lost over 30 lbs since surgery 5 weeks ago today so I am down a total of 50+ lbs since May (consultation). It feels really good. I was wearing a size 28 in pants and 2x in shirts and now I can fix a 22 in pants and xl shirt. I am so very amazed at this progress. I have been feeling fine. I was having some leg pains yesterday and previoous days, so I called Janet, anyway long story short, I was sent to have an ultrasound done of my leg, to make sure there were no blood clots, and THANK GOD THE TEST CAME BACK NEGATIVE!!!! So all is well. I can't wait to start exercising because I already have lost skin on my thighs shaking, and I can't stand it. I will be able to begin exercising in one week. Well I just wanted to update. I will be getting those pics up soon, I promise!!!
September 11, 2006
WoW! I can't believe it's been 5 years since 9/11. I pray that God will send His angels of protection over the U.S. These people are crazy.
I went to Savannah, GA this weekend with my hubby and 5 other couples. We had a ball. I have not had so much fun in a while. We went on a little river cruise and danced ourselves silly. I am still sore today. I have not used some of those muscles in a while. I am now in a size 18-20!!!! Can you believe that? Just 7 weeks ago I was in a size 28. UNBELIEVABLE!!! My confidence level is definitely UP!!! I took pics and will put them on soon, believe it or not I have tried to put some on, but obviously I do not know what I am doing. I am going to get some help though.
September 16, 2006
Hey I think I finally figured out the pics thanks to my friend Jeana. She has been helping me out so much. Thanks girl.

I was backed up... wow. I did not know what was going on. My co-workers said I was FOS (full of sh*t) literally.
Anyway I put some more pics up today. Copy and paste ya'll
October 17, 2006
Hello it has been a minute since I have updated. Sorry!! I have been doing well. I am feeling great actually. Full of life and energy. Thank you Jesus!!! Well as far as my weight loss goes... I am 13 weeks post op today, I last weighed myself last week and I was 223 (WOW!!) I purchased a pair of pants last week in a size 16, however, when I got home I realized that I could have gotten a smaller size (WHAT!!) YES it's true I took them back and exchanged them for a size 14, yes that is right. I have gone down from a size 28 (amazing). I think I am really a 14-16 right now, and I have no complaints.
I have been a lot of time on the phone with my friend Jeana, she is 8 days post op right now. I am trying to be the support system that she needs, we all need that. She has truly been a blessing in my life and I feel like we are old friends. I can't wait until she starts reporting her dramatic weight loss to me. We are going on a cruise together sometime next year we are going to be 2 hottttt, sexy, (married) divas. :0)
I will talk to u all later. God Bless
