Hi everyone... If anyone reads this ;) I had my surgery on September 25th of 2013. To date I've lost about 4 inches around and 18 pounds post op.. From my highest weight I've lost 35 lbs. I'm happy over all.. even when i hit an almost 2 week stall and a mental game of wait gain, guilt and madness. In a nutshell. I really have to stop weighing myself everyday... numerous times daily too.. I know, I know... It is morale suicide but i swear the damned scale phantom beckons me.. really. In all seriousness i have to quit obsessing. I told myself constantly id be ok with weekly or monthly weigh ins.. I didn't have a scale at the time. It truly was attainable to not make myself a slave to what has now become my nemesis. But alas.. me mum bought one and thus the cycle began..wahhhh haaa... O.K.. done whining.. I am. I could still be in the same old place.. Not realizing that I have some issues with food that I was seriously unaware of. It was a harsh reality to face. I have to work on this new stuff and this crazy head hunger that i seem to be feeling. But i embarked on this to become healthy, that means i need to deal with this new found stuff. So be it. I am still happy and im going to work me tail off to be a success and change a lot.

Whew.. I feel better to have unloaded a bit. I feel a bit alone in this journey. I have a YouTube channel that helps. This helps too.

Hi everyone!! I have not written in a tic, I have been doing my hoop jumping or my insurance company. I ave completed everything they require and now I'm just awaiting the approval. My stomach is in knots and I find myself waiting for "the Phone call", you know the one hat tells me what date I get for my roux en y. It has been an interesting few months, I started exercising and have been replacing one meal with a protein shake, when I get my date ill start replacing more meals with liquids. I am so anxious for that call. I live in Florida and I can only imagine what a hot summer this coming one is going to be. I hope my surgery gets scheduled for the end of May or in June. What I'm looking forward to the most is playing with my kiddo with out getting so winded that we have to cut his playtime short. I hate doing that to him. Any way... I have uploaded an Blog on YouTube... I want to document my journey and share it with anyone that wants to listen. I hope you guys can be a part of it You can find it by typing Cyn Medina in YouTube's search box or try the following link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6m8Ms_CnG8

I have my Psych evaluation at 11 am on Thursday... I am terrified and excited all together. I have no clue what to expect, I know that i am closer to my operation and its kind of sinking in little by little. I am going  to change my life for ever. I have doubts as I'm sure anyone that has undergone this ordeal has too. I just keep telling myself, this is for the best, i have to lose this weight for my son and for my health. I have been smaller that my current and highest weight ever, but i have never know what it is to be thin, my ideal weight is supposed to be  125-135 pounds. I almost cant believe this is becoming a reality for me. I am going to do everything the way I'm supposed to, i have been researching and collecting articles regarding this procedure for over 2 years. I finally made up my mind when i had an asthma attack playing with my son outside in the Florida summer. I decided to take my information and made my appointment with Dr. Hoddinott at the Ocala Regional Hospital. I received a setback upon finding out that I needed 6 months of dr visits prior to booking my surgery. I was disappointed but not discouraged, I have been eating healthier foods and have increased my activities more. I have not lost as much weight as I thought I would actually. I figured I'd get a jump on the 200 pounds i have to lose... I have lost about 8 lbs which is not much, but hey... I'll take it!!
