A Brand New Me On The Outside!
May 30, 2017
It's still hard to believe that it's a different me on the outside probably because I have remained the same on the inside. While this surgery has changed my life for better health, I haven't let it change my kind hearted and sometimes silly personality. Obese individuals are sometimes stereotyped as bubbly and overly joyed and the life of the party!..Well I'm still all of those things in a smaller frame. I must say that I don't like talking about my weight loss to certain individuals, and it's not because I have anything to hide, it's because I just don't want to talk to certain people about my weight loss..lol My focus is these 28 lbs to reach my goal weight and I'm enjoying the journey and staying true to myself! The sky is no longer the limit, I'm reaching for the heavens!
Down 12 pounds at my pre-op appointment
Sep 15, 2016
So today was my pre-op appointment and I was down 12lbs from my last appointment on 8-8-2016...My current weight is 221lbs. My nutritionist told me at my last appointment at 233, that if I gained a pound surgery would be cancelled. I know a lot of people feel like that's why we are having the surgery. But my team strongly believes in lifestyle changes before surgery, which will determine your success rate. I didn't do any binge eating, I simply made better food choices and exercised, and I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet. Surgery is on 9/26/2016. My blood pressure was even down after 2 years! I am celebrating with my protein shake..Cheers!
