Gastritis, UTI's, and BLAHHHHH!!!
Dec 05, 2011
Well, well, well is all I can start out saying. This past week and a half has been hard. So I went to the hospital Sunday November 27th, and was in there for almost 5 hrs in so much pain. Let me remind everyone I haven't had surgery yet. lol So the doctor tells me I have Gastritis, which is a whole heck of a lot worse than having gas. Gas pains hurt like h-e- double hockey sticks let me tell ya, but this pain was unbelieveable. I couldn't lay down and go to sleep. I couldn't lay on my stomach. I couldn't even eat. Eating jello was hard. Gastritis is where the lining of your stomach is swolllen and inflammed. My stomach looked like I was 3 months pregnant on top of the belly I already had. lol Then on top of that I had a urinary tract infection... I was like wow... So they sent me home with antibiotics and pain meds. After a few hours of the pain meds not kicking it, back to the hospital I went. This time I got a shot and more pain meds. After this past week of pain, finally being able to get down jello and lots and lots of water I am finally beginning to feel back to normal. Stomach is still a little tender but I feel much better than the previous week. I am now 416.2 lbs. I can dig that. 9 lbs lighter. 17 LBS from the 300's... I plan on being there by New Years. :) 26 days away. Well enough of all the blah, blah, blah I hope everyone is having a great day. I hope everyone's journey is going great. To everyone who had surgery congrats. I am so happy and proud of you all for taking the step to a healthier you. May God guide you and keep you in his loving grace. Until later I am going to go cuddle on my couch and decide if I am ready to put up our Christmas tree. :) I know I am late. Don't judge me. Just kidding. Love you guys!

On my way to a better me!
Oct 26, 2011
Hi everyone.... First off all thanks and glory be to GOD. It has been a while since I have posted, but I have been here reading the forums. Everyone has been doing an awesome job on their journies, and I want to say congradulations. I have been on my own weight loss journey before surgery. I started out at 456, and I am at 425. That is a 21 lb loss. I know it isn't 100, but I did it. I am on my way to a better, healthier me. And GUESS WHAT!!!!! I have a surgery date. 02/17/2012. 3 1/2 months and hopefully I will be on that surgery table. I am going to continue to lose weight on my own to see how much more weight I can lose before then. I just had to share my news with all of you. Gonna post some before pics for you all to see. Well will definitely post later. I also have my own youtube channel where now I can share videos of my journey. Hopefully I will inspire someone like all of you have inspired me. We can support each other. Love, Peae, and Happiness always. Until later Te amo mucho amigas and amigos!

The Climb
Jul 07, 2009
Okay time for a new post... Well first off I said I was going to list everybody on my next post who has inspired me off of here. Look at my friends list!!! If I added or sent you a request to be a friend, you have inspired me or touched my heart in some way. So thank you, keep up the good work, and look forward to see you all reaching your goals and dreams. Next topic I want to talk about is a song I love to listen to called "The Climb". I am going to share the lyrics to the song below, because to me I can relate and I know there are millions of others who will relate too. The song has so much meaning, and it basically tells alot about life. The strugges we go through and mountains we must climb, so it is all about The Climb..We all face struggles and hurdles with our weight; we all face struggles and hurdles trying to get approved or financed for this surgery. But when all is said and done, when GOD has answered our prayers, we would know that everything we went through, every mountain, every hurdle, was truly worth the Blessing in the end. A new chance at life; a new chance to make memories with our families and loved ones; a chance to get it right this time. And it's all about the climb we took to get to where we want to be!I can almost see it, that dream I'm dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying you'll never reach it.
Every step I'm taking, every move I make feels
lost with no direction, my faith is shaking.
But I, I gotta keep trying,
gotta keep my head held high.
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move,
Always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose.
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's The Climb!!!
The struggles I'm facing, the chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, no I'm not breaking.
I may not know it, but these are the moments
that I'm gonna remember most, yeah just gotta keep going.
And I, I gotta be strong,
Just keep pushing on...
Because there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna want to make it move,
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose.
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
IT'S THE CLIMB!!!!!
Well my friends, I hope all is well. I love you all and GOD Bless you all as you continue your journies.
Your friend for life
Mimi
