Hmmm so what's new lots of stuff. I'll get in on the stats and jump right in. So my vsg surgery was 8/19/16 and my beginning weight was 246, weight dos was 227 and my current weight is 160. Yay! Anywho, what have I been doing working out for sure and eating better. Have I been great at eating? Nope but I am human and I remember to not stay there and I don't test the limits I listen to my body and jump back on my regimen. Biggest thing is you got to know when to stop eating and stay your butt in the gym! So, ok Friday 7/14/17 I also had my gallbladder removed so back on the liquids and hating life for sure. Can't hit up my gym or anything which is driving me batty. Eating habits have to be tweaked yet again which sucks so probably will drop more weight real soon. But oh well. On a positive note my dr did say that when he did my gallbladder surgery my stomach looked really good. Let me tell you stretching your stomach will be your biggest worry the first year because no one wants to do that and have any revision surgeries. Other than that Ive been working and trying to get a son off to college and manage my stress levels. Other than that look out for photos????

I think I am very antsy about making changes. I can already feel that my life has changed in just how I feel about food. Some things I'm thinking are way too sweet and they are sugar free. But Day 4 here and I think I am doing very good. Really glad my mother is here helpin me. She's been really awesome. Of course now I am hearing the you didn't need the surgery. You were perfect the way you are. Folks will never understand why you do anything these days.

Day 3 Post Op- 

Funny how things change with just a surgery. Things seem too sweet to me and it's only one gram of sugar. Trying to work in my protein but this is a very slow process when you can only sip 1 oz every 15 min. Definitely have to be be careful not to gulp. But I will make it. Now if I can get past the fact that my stomach looks like Frankenstein's wife stomach. I would be alright. They would give me staples. So scared to have to get them removed. You know when they say this is going to sting that means this going to hurt like a son of a gun. Ugh

Day 12 of preop liquid diet

If anyone says it gets easier, I am going to have to disagree. Now, the urge to the coffee table has gone down but the fact that everyone is getting treated like a snicker bar commercial. I am on level 10. Yeah, ready for surgery alllllreadddy!

Day 3 Pre-Op Liquid Diet Phase-

So, everyone is sayin this day is the hardest to get thru. Day 3, 4 & 5 they say. Well, I am feeling it. First, I said well it's not so bad but then the kids got hungry and my daughter kept saying mommy aren't you going to eat? And I'm like no hunny. Then I thought well now I know how scooby doo feels because I feel like I can eat a house. Just pile a smorgasbord of food on a table...knowing I would scarf it down. I even went so far as to think what if I chewed it up and spit it out? But my brain was like ewwww gross don't you even dare...that was an extreme thought though never would have happened though and I don't believe in waste. Nope I would have eaten whatever it was. So I say brain stop thinking about it. I have to say there is an end goal to all of this. Stay positive, stay positive, Jeanna, just stay positive. Like Dory on Finding Nemo I have to just keep swimming. I have to remain strong and call on my faith. Man does not live on bread alone but on the word of God. Food is my addiction and like all addictions it can be broken.

Praying on strength and the ability to press on.

this too shall pass...
