still movin in the right direction
Sep 28, 2009
Its been a little over a year and still learning. When I started out I weighed a little more then 400 pounds.I am now at 265, it has not been easy but so worth the fight of obesity. I have since come to realize that you must MUST not only watch what you eat but you must MUST also move on a regular basis. Movement that has to raise your heart beat, and keep it raised for over 45 minutes or more doesn't matter what you do to raise it just do something thats going to keep it up for a while, dancing walking jumping rope with the kids,playing wii just move and the weight will drop. I have found for me three times a week works good. I hope everyone finds out what works for them.hopefully it won,t take you as long as it has taken me. LOVE LIFE and live it to the fullest;-).

Well it will be four months soon and I have lost a total of 66pounds since my W-L-S everyday I am feeling better and enjoying life so much more, less weight less effort in getting around, less pressure on your feet . Seems everyone thinks I look a lot slimmer but I can not see a big change, I know my clothes are getting loose but I still have the same image of myself in my mind . Does any one else have that problem with self image? I would like to loose 13 pounds by December 7th which is my 47th birthday,time will tell. I hope everyone is doing well and using thier tool to the fullest. LOVE LIFE AND LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST. BE BLESSED AND BLESS SOME ONE.

NEW BEGINNIG

-Hello to my OH family,
As of July 23rd. I am now official on the looser side. The day of surgery my weight was 379 and now I am at 358
as of last thursday (31st of July). When I got to the hospital I arrived around 5:30am. As soon as I arrived they took me straight to where I needed to be. When I first got there they took me to the pre-op room. They started my IV's, and gave me medication. Dr. Myers
(my doctor) came in ,and while my sisters and husband were there, he explained the surgery. He then prayed with us before he prep'd for surgery. My surgery took about 2 hours. After the surgery he stopped by, to tell my husband and family that everything went well
. They then took me to my room. I woke up with this tube in m abdomen. It was called "ON-Q." that was my best friend. It's a new procedure that they use to manage pain. It drips medicine into the abdomen through the tube, which stays for about 4 days. once ths medicines gone and the ball looks like an apple core, then you slowly pull the tubes out. My husband did the honors of pulling the tube out, how the doctor instructed him. we then realized it was around 8 inches long and as the name says it was on Q...sorry i got side tracked...but that ball was the shizznit..I stayed 3 days in the hospital. Day 1: I slept most of the day. In between my naps, I was awaken by my proffesionally yet annoying nurses. But they were just doing there jobs to keep me up and about to prevent blood clots.
Day 2: I was able to eat ice chips,not without throwing up
. And I was still being visited by those annoying-ass nurses (ok,ok they were just doing there jobs)and they were really a blessing. Day 3: I was ready to go home. the chicken broth stayed down today, but none of my meds
.Week one at home was a period of adjustment. I was finding liquids that stayed down. the hard part was getting all of my protein in, only because the things I liked befor I no longer liked. After a week I had my first Doctors visit and already lost 21 pounds
, and my healing is going well. No pain form surgery. What i use to think was pain was just gas. And im not longer on blood pressure medicine. while at the doctors office they wrote my a perscrpition for nausea medicine. which was truley needed because i scarred my poor husband with a barrage of dry-heaves on the way home
. Today is August 6, and im alot better, and I am no longer throwing up. i can take short walks to meet my chld at the bus stop, everyday. My Doctor says I can start exercising next week,
and I am so ready. i will update more frequently now that that i can sit at the computer without throwing up. I want to say thanks to my OH family, who kept me in thier PRAYERS .
PRE OP VISIT
Jul 16, 2008
HELLO EVERYONE Tomorrow I go to the doctor to get ready fo next week.I know my timing is off but of course I have a bad head-cold I hope I,ll start feeling better soon. I am so blessed to have this oppertunity to change my life.,as of December I no longer have a best friend name Debbie had to let her go you might know her by her other name LITTLE-DEBBIE why she stay little that ain,t right ,had to let her cousin donald go too those golden arches was a u-turn to hell, I'm not that far from the dairy queen so I thought if I walked instead of drove that would help with the extra calories something didn't add up,or was I suppose to be getting a small cone,
what about those GRIPPOES chips I did not realize they took a gripp to your hipps so thoes are out too. It took me 46 years to figure out why the call it POUND-CAKE. ok-ok I get it .SO HERES TO MAKING BETTER CHOICES
