Hey Everyone:

Just want to let everyone know that I have lost 25 pounds. My journey has been long and hard. On the other side I just moved to Ohio because of my job. 

Just want to check in and give progress as to how I am doing

First Fill

Mar 12, 2008

Hey Everybody;

I just wanted to give you all an update. I had my first fill. Which really wasnt all that bad and there were no complications. The best news is I lost 3 more pounds. I am so excited. 

I have gotten so many compliments from everyone....You know loosing way and when people compliment you you feel really good about yourself/. You start to feel as though you really have accomplished something. 

I wish the best to all and See you on the other side.

Post Op Appointment

Feb 26, 2008

Okay, I had my post op appointment and everything went great. Dr. Holsaeter said I can get my first fill in 2 weeks. I am so excited. It was funny because he said you are on your own until my first fill. I told my surgeon I am never on my own. But I understood what he was talking about. 

I was just able to add soft noodles and soup (Campbel's Healthy Request), mashed potatoes, Yogurt, Bananna, Grits, 1 fat, and some other stuff. I am pretty excited about that because that means I know have a better variety of foods to eat. (Thats Funny Because Last month I was eating anything I wanted and now I am doing so well, this I am proud of myself) I am actually exicted about my weight losss journey. 

My family, friends, coworkers, classmates (I decided to get my Masters Degree, I will graduate in July) are all very supportive of what I am doing and everyone keeps tell me they can tell I am loosing weight, which feels really good. I told one person with all the compliments I am going to get a big head. 

Okay, thats enough for now. 
Have a good Weight Loss Journey and Reminder It Will Come

I am Back

Feb 14, 2008

I am back....I stayed overnight at the hospital. There were no problems except for when it was time for me to go to sleep with my CPAP machine on. The nurse forgot to take the cap off the water container and thus blocked the airflow. I didnt know it until I put the mask on and my nurse started to burned because of the lack of moisture. But it was okay because when I realized it I removed it. 

I was released on Friday 8, the drive home was horible because I was so nausated. However, I havent had any problems since. I can say even though I dont have my first fill and I am seeing a difference in how much I can eat (baby food and pureed goods). I got for my first fill on Feb 22.  I am on my way


My Last Day

Feb 06, 2008

I am so excited, I am beginning to tolerate the shakes and another bonus I have lost 6ibs  I am like extremely happy. 

Around this time tomorrow, I will be at the hospital and I should be out.....I cant not believe that this is really happening...I just feel like crying, but I am not I feel like dancing

Keep me in your prayers.

Day 8 Pre-Op Diet (All Liquids)

Feb 04, 2008

Good afternoon,

Well, well, well...I started the all liquid portion of my diet, so pray for me. I thought it was going to be extremely hard for me, but I look towards the future and that always raises my spirits. I cannot believe that in just 3 days I will be having my surgery. That makes me a little teary eyed. 

I cant wait

Talk lata


Day 4 Pre-Op Diet

Jan 31, 2008

Man, this diet is not fun at all, but you know what I am doing and I will continue do it. I have the determination now to do this and I understand now more than ever that I have to do this for my health and future.

The weekend will be hard my niece's b-day is coming up...But I already warned her that I will not be eating any of her b-day food because it will derail my diet . I was proud of myself and I will stick with it at her b-day

I have 7 more days for the big day and man am I excited.

Day 1 of Pre-Op Diet

Jan 28, 2008

Okay, man this shake stuff is nasty, but thats okay I know that it is for the best (thats what I keep saying) and I can push through this and it will be alright...
