July 14th....I just got my approval first try!!!!!!! how exciting! i have been longing for this for five years when i first gained the bulk of my (over)weight. current weight 332. my surgery date has been set for august 26th at 0700am! whoohooooooooooooooo!
August 25th....the night before my surgery! I am so excited and nervous that something will change. well tomorrow at this time i will be just that much closer to my goal.
September 10th....well i am now an official GBS club member. the surgery went amazing>>....NO PAIN. however two days post op i had a kidney stone pass. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! never had one before and never want one again. Labour was easier. however i have overcome worse. today i feel good. i go september 18th for my weigh in and check up. keep u posted.
september 19th....I AM DOWN TO 290!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's crazy to think that this is real. i know i have much to go before goal but this is definitely encouraging. next appt. with Dr. Barnes is on oct 23rd....let you know.
october 7th....i couldn't wait to try the scale again....284!!!!!!!!!!!!! my scrubs are too big and i still feel great!
December 22nd....I know it has been a long time since i've updated this. I am now down to 245lbs!!! and feel great...i have gone from a size 30 to an 18-20. Sometimes i feel like my emotions haven't caught up to what my body is doing, but everyday gets better. People are always complimenting me but i struggle with accepting the compliments...i know it sounds silly but when someone who is 130lbs is calling you skinny...well it makes you feel a little patronized. but learning to accept them regardless. I am struggling with the protein.... :( and i feel my hair starting to thin out...any suggestions would be helpful. I wish all to be blessed this christmas season....merry christmas
