My first milestone

I’ve been weighing myself daily because I want to see how fast I’m loosing weight post gastric bypass. So far I’ve lost 1-2 lb. a day. I went from 307  lb. to 299 lb. as of this morning. I’ve officially left the 300′s mark FOREVER. I can not stress this enough that my weight will never, ever, get th

The time when I got stuck in an elevator.

So the healing is going slowly and I haven’t pushed myself.. until today. I went to go outside with my cousin, her four children all under 5 years of age, her boyfriend, sister and her boyfriend, mother to sit outside to walk around. The elevator hesitated, clunked and died. I was in there with thes

I’m home

This entire surgery experience is almost unreal to me. I feel like I am going to wake up and it’ll never have happened and  I’ll still be the fat girl, with little hope of loosing it and keep it off. I  have found out that I like jello… dunno why but orange jello and beef [...]

Sergury was a success

While I am still at Geisinger recovering, my pain levels are great. I went in with doubts and came out knowing I did the right thing. I am so excited with this new chapter of my life. I am so thankful for this operation. I am also being called a poster child.

O day

Today, is the day I’ve been waiting for 6 long months for. I can’t begin to describe how frightened I am, nor can I describe the jubilation that this day has brought me. But alas, I shall try. I am so excited about the prospect of a brighter, thinner healthier future. I’ve change my entire outlook o

MOTIVATED MOTIVATED, DOWN RIGHT MOTIVATED!

This past few days I’ve been bitching about being hungary, of course-liquid diets suck. But this morning when I hopped up on my scale it read 308 lbs…. that’s the lowest I’ve been in a few years. Its a long ways to go but I’m celebrating this little victory non-the-less. I really feel that I [...]

Rain, hip pain, and coldness

A few days ago I fell asleep on the couch waiting to pick up a friend from work, since he’s got no car.  I woke up with my hip hurting and apparently out of place. Its taken those few days to get my hip back into place. Last night I got very little sleep because [...]

It’s the final count down!

15 days until my surgery. 15 days until my life changes forever, 15 days until my road to becoming healthy takes off (its alright begun.) 15 days before I am going to have to go through everything and slowly change it out. 15 days of liquid diet… oh well I can do it. I know [...]

Rant about Time Warner Cable and honest review of service.

So back in November I signed up for Time Warner bundle package valuing at $145 a month including the Roadrunner digital mobile wifi device. I live in a pretty rural area I know that a lot of mobile stuff doesn’t work around here. I went on the website and looked at their map, my area [...]
