ITS DONE!

Sep 18, 2009

Hey all.....well I did it!  On Septeber 04, 2009 my life changed for the better.....I started at 325 the morning of surgery and I ve lost the first 25 lbs! I m so happy but I must let everyone know who has not had it done that it is not easy.....I had my lapband removed at the same time and wow that felt horrible - apparently there was a lot of scar tissue around the port.  I hurt like hell the day of and well they tell you move around if it hurts move move and move some more.....and so I did and I must admit I was feeling a lot better a lot sooner so listen to them they know what they are talking about!  I was in the hospital for 2 nights.....felt like a week!  But was able to go back to the hotel after that and that is when I really started to feel better!!!

Well I gotta run for now but I ll keep posting my weight loss and soon enough I ll be showing off my new body!!!!


bye for now!

10 Days

Aug 24, 2009

Ok so 10 more days until a new chapter in my life begins.  I cant say that I m nervous I m more anxious then anything and I wish it was this Friday!  So September 04th 2009 is MY big day and I have met someone who is amazing and who accepts me for me but I have not yet told him about my surgery....I dont know what his reaction would be and well this scares me because right now hes just AWESOME.  I met him online....we talked there for a bit then moved onto text messaging and then finally the phone.....I am from Ottawa Canada and he is from Louisiana so the distance makes it difficult in the meeting process.  Although I dont mind that we havent met because I m the biggest I have ever been and well I would love to loose some weight before we do actually meet - but how do I bring something so sensitive up?  I m wondering if anyone else has had these issues - and if so please help me because I would like to involve him in such an exciting part of my life. 

Well I ll leave it at that for now but I will post again before my big day!


Stay well and be safe!

79 Days.....AND some Venting!

Jun 18, 2009

Ok so 79 more days to go until a new chapter begins....am I excited? ABSOLUTELY....a little scared but like anything I will get over that quick enough.  I am currently single and have been since February when my ex broke up with me.  It came out of no where and I was totally blown away when he did it over the phone.....or should I say a text message.  When I spoke with him he had said that I was a great girl and that we were better off as just friends.  I spoke my mind and then asked the question that I honestly already knew the answer to.  "Is there someone else"...silence and then a very low, raspy yes came through the phone.  My heart felt sore...I really cared for this man and I felt so used and just plane sick to my stomack.  I could have decked him!  I am a fabulous and smart and an overall good person...yet I m FAT!.  I understand things a lot more clearly now and at times it angers me....how can you write someone off just because of weight.  When he met me I was big and I m still big.  When we were supposed to go out and meet friends they would be a no show or something would have come up....whatever...I know the real reason....he was that shallow and embarrassed by what I looked like that he didnt want his friends or family to see me.  I asked him directly because I can be very direct and he deny's it...however my gut is telling me something different.  ONE THING TO LEARN....LISTEN TO YOUR GUT FEELINGS! 

So last November I made a decision for myself.....stop feeling sorry and move on and do what you've been thinking about doing for years.  So I made that appointment with my GP and sat down and said I need this and what are you going to do to help me achieve this?  He looked at me stunned....He had been totally against this surgery for years and so he signed the form and sent them in for me.  I was shocked it was that easy in convincing him...but I think he could tell that I was not letting this one go.

So when things got held up back in February due to a car accident....19 year old text messaging while driving is never good...hit me from behind and I was off for a month with whiplash!  I had a lot of time on my hands to just collect me thoughts and think a lot of things over.  I m so done wearing this FAT suit and I m SO DONE with how I have been treated since.....well as long as I can remember.  Although it has gotten much worse as I get or I should say "got" heavier.  Not anymore my sista's and brotha's lol....I refuse to allow it to continue and they can kiss my round tush if they dont like it...soon to be smaller yet round tush!

So when I saw my ex a couple weekends ago out for breakfast with a twig that had the face of a mule...oh please she may be skinny but she is UGGLY.  Well whatever floats your boat I guess...but common I know I dont have a picture up on my profile but I am thankful that I take after my STUNNINGLY Gorgeous Mother!  *THXS MOM*  Even though he didnt see me I deffinitely saw him smoochin that mule in the parking lot....well I felt angry at first and then I thought heck I can loose weight but its gonna cost her a small fortune to fix that FACE....ouch I am mean lol.  But they both deserve it....I found out she had been sleeping with him while we were still dating.....they are both TRAMPS and I m so better off. 

 Ok so enough about them….well almost….I know once I do loose some weight and start feeling even better about my self image I am gonna flaunt all that I got and right in front of the two of them as well as a few other people who haven’t been so nice over the years.  SO the countdown is ON BABY…79 days to go!


Bye for NOW,

94 Days....

Jun 02, 2009

So here I am at 94 days to go and well I m a little nervous when I read some blogs saying that "I could only eat 4 small bites and then I was full".  I m asking myself and I m being real about these feelings because this honestly is the only way to be.  How will I be satisfied with 4 small bites when now I can eat a whole chicken...oh man this is gonna be tough.  I wonder if anyone else has gone through the adjustment and found it to be either easier or harder to adjust to the amounts that your able to eat.  Anyone had to seek help from a specialist?

ONLY 101 Days Until SURGERY

May 27, 2009

OK so I m anxious and counting down everyday until my surgery....I m so looking forward to September 4th 2009!  I have a ton of clothes that I cant fit into at the moment and I cant wait until I can slip them back on.  Only thing I m having issues with is WHO DO I SHARE MY NEWS WITH?  I wish that I could shout it fromt he roof top but not everyone is as excited for me.  My surgeon said to me when I was at the consult that I would learn who my real friends are and I would make new friends along my journey.  I have so far told 2 of my good friends and I have one who is totally behind me and is very happy that I'm taking on this new life.  My other good friend seems a little worried for me....in regards to the surgery....and made the comment "your gonna whither away to nothing" hmmm I dont think so but I have plenty to loose.  Anyhow thats about it for now!  Stay safe and be good!

Just a Thought....or Two!

May 24, 2009

I have done a lot of thinking over the weekend and I must admit that I am slightly nervous in regards to eating only 1/2 cup at a time....I am wondering how people are adjusting to this dramatic change?  I am worried because I really want this to work for me.....although at the same time I m still nervous......I am very excited and I ve decided to stop shopping for clothes until after my surgery....this will be a little tough! I do love to shop and I ve been telling myself that I m gonna be able to get a whole new wardrobe after loosing my weight.....I cant wait for that day!

So my questions are.....what kinds of problems have you encountered in regards to adjusting to eating the 1/2 cup and making it last over 30 mins????

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I GOT THE OK!

May 20, 2009

I met with Dr. Graber on May 4th, 2009 and he was really nice the staff was super friendly and I felt really comfortable talking about my weight struggles over the years.  I was especially impressed with Lisa and she took her time answering my questions and making sure that I completely understood what I was about to take on.  I have to say when they told me that all I would be eating was 1/2 a cup at a time I was worried .  I am 26 yrs old and would like to be able to socialize with friends and new people....just dont want to come across as some kind of weirdo when all I eat is half a cup.  But then I believe the outcome would outway everything else.  I am eager to get a surgery date....I had to re-apply with OHIP to get the revision for my BAND and then things will be good!  I got the ok from OHIP this morning but I m waiting on the office to call me back...and that clock is tickin pretty slow...so thats why I m here writting in my blog! I hope that they can come up with something this summer and who knows where I'll be one year from now!  The future is ever so bright and I m looking forward to meeting the smaller me!

OK Dr's Office just called I m booked for September 4th, 2009!!!!!
