Hello everybody I am now 3 mos post op, and everything is going really well! My energy level is at a all time high!! My confidence is sky high!! I feel so secure with my body, and my looks untill it is just plain ole sickening!! lol! I have been doing Zumba, and boy ole boy is that a lot of fun! I especially enjoy doing it with a group of people! We have a blast and I actually feel like I am in a club! My eating is doing pretty good. I try not to eat that much chicken, because I found out that my pouch does not really like it!! I take my vitamins religiously, and I try to make sure I keep protein 1st and get in my liquids in( which sometimes can be hard) I have to make myself eat, and every once in a while I get hungry, but nothing like it was pre op! I am participating in more activities, and going to a lot of family events!! I am so excited for the summer, because me and my family have so many things planned! The best part of all of this is buying a new outfit to wear that I can look fabulous in! I started off on this journey in a size 24 and now lord behold I am in a 20YAYYYYY! I am so happy that I pulled off wearing white pants/jeans, I never wanted to wear white because I always felt to big...WELL NOT ANY MORE!! OK OH family until the next time....LOVING MY RNY

Mar 03, 2012

Well I am now 2months post op and I have been feeling Ok I guess, but lately I have been vomitingafter I eat, and this is something new for me! I think I can not tolerate greasy foods! Yesterday I ate 1 peice of a fried chicken wing and Up it came! Once I threw it up I felt better. Friday nite I had some chinesse food lomien noodles, and up it came uggh! Earlier this week at work, I had a peice of baked chicken and up it came!! When I eat all of the safe foods salads, seafood even a subway sub with turkey and ham on it, and it digest really well! So I  think it could be greasy foods, well I will watch this new development and pray that this does not last long and that it is nothing more serious! On a good note The scale has finally moved!! Yayyyy I lost 6lbs this week!! I am so freakin happy!

This RNY thangy is Really working!!

Feb 16, 2012

I am starting to see my body changing, some clothes are starting to fit looser, and most of all people are starting to notice! I guess by me being so tall, it is so easy to notice my weight loss. I was at my moms, and she sees me at least once or twice a week, and she says, "Tasha you are coming down really nice child!!" I was so happy to hear that, and my husband's aunt who I saw on Monday and has not seen me since the week after my surgery, said "OMG Donna you are slipping away to nothing!" My Hairdresser who has been doing my hair for 14yrs, and I see her every 2weeks, said "Girl I can see it you are looking good, don't get to cute and make me have to smack your but!" lol! I love this chic she is so fly, and I mean she puts the wings on flying! lmao! OH and of course the hubby who sees me in ways that nobody else does always says" baby you are looking so good, I can wrap my arms around you, and hit spots that I could never hit! He goes on to say I love seeing your body transform right in front of my eyes!" Not only am I looking good, but I am feeling great too, my energy is excellent, I am exercising and enjoying it! My food is going down good, and I am taking my vitamins good too! I have a cold right now but it still is not holding me down! At this point I don't think anything can hold me down! Loving my RNY!!

4WEEK POST OP VISIT!!

Feb 09, 2012

Well I went to my 1month post op visit yesterday,  I am actually 6 weeks post op as of now!! The doc says that I am doing pretty good but he would like to see me loose more! He states that I am drinking to many liquid proteins, and I need to incorporate more solids in my meal plan, and to don't be afraid of eating! So he thinks that I am getting too many liquid calories, and the body can not keep living off of this!! So today I am changing my meal plan to eat more high protein foods, and if I do a protein shake it will be in the evening as a snack!! On the day of my surgery I weighed in at 316 lbs, when I started my journey I was at 338lbs, Rite after my surgery I went back up to 338lbs, Now I am at 295lbs. So my doc is going by my last weight when I weighed in at my pre op appt, so he says I only lost 20lbs...REALLY DOC REALLY I SO LOVE THIS MAN HE SPEAKS NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!! So Meal plan change, up my exercise routine, and I will let you guys know how it works out!! WISH ME WELL OH!!P.S Well I be DAMM I JUST GOT ON THE SCALE AND I WENT DOWN 3LBS YAYYYY!! tHE SCALE FINALLY HAS MOVED!! I was at a tiny stall for about 2weeks!! SO FREAKIN HAPPY! OH I forgot to tell you guys that I got the job transfer closer to home, Thank God so this should help me with my routine a little better!!

Made it threw my 1st week back to work!

Feb 03, 2012

I went back to work on Mon 30th , and it was really good, and people just was saying wow you look great....it was so many compliments, and I was loving everyone of them! lol! Now I am on evening shift, and I hate swinging shifts, because it is hard to keep a set schedule, but so far so good, I am getting in the required amounts of protein, and I am getting my fluids in! I just hope I am getting in enough calories,  I have to keep better track! Changing shifts is very hard, uneasy, and frustrating, and it is hard to keep a set schedule. The only thing I need to try and do is get my exercise in, because I did not get no exercise in this week only 2days!  So I pray that this job Downtown comes threw for me, it will be better with the swinging shifts, and lesser drive time to and from work! Please Lord send me this change of job location!
