Today is the DAY!!!!

I'm so thankful to everyone here that reads my blog; it makes me feel so good. I love reading everyone ells blogs to, most of the time I go to the very beginning of your journey and read to the present and let me tell you they are all like really good books you can’t put down!!

I 'm nerves and scared, and worried. I want to come out of this strong and determined, I pray there are no complications, I pray that my kids are safe without me, and I pray that this will help me lose the weight. I will update yall on my progress.

Pre-Op diet round #2

I am doing an AMAZING job this time around!!! I'm on day two and feel pretty good, although last night was rough. I wanted something sweet so bad I went online to research low carb deserts and found this delicious looking (didn't make it yet) chocolate "cake". OMG I cant wait to make this healthy and low carb treat, maybe the day before surgery as a celebration!!!

There is a secret ingredient that you guys will never guess unless you click the link. By the way this blog is full of great recipes for low carb/gluten free diets.

My weight yesterday morning before starting my pre-op was 306.4 pounds, I'm hoping I can get below 300 before surgery.

Getting nerves again...

So I'm two weeks away from surgery and this time around I'm really nerves. I think the last time I was so focused on the money, the kids, and my father coming that I was to stressed to feel anything ells. Now the surgery is paid, the kids are going to be with family, and my dad is not coming till end of April so I'm left feeling all the feelings I should have been in the first place.
I have this picture in my head of what I want to look like at the end of this, but I know that my body will look the way its supposed to, nothing I can do about that. But what if I don't like myself, what if I don't even lose the weight. I love sweets and the idea that I can no longer eat sweets is hard to except. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to do this and I'm going to stick to the book, but I'm just feeling scared.

It's my BIRTHDAY!!!!!

I got myself some birthday gifts for when I start losing weight. Both are in a size 14 so I have some time before I can fit them, but it will give me something to look forward to!

What do you guys think? Im going to model them when I can fit'em...LOL!!

New surgery date!!!!

I have had a cold and my doctor wants or did re-schedule my surgery for March 31st...I'm ok with this, I really don’t want to have any complications. I was originally having surgery on my birthday (March 10th) kind of like a "new birth", oh well.
The good news is now I can celebrate my birthday the old fashion way, with a great dinner and a big chocolate cake!!!

Pre Op diet sucks!!!

I’m having the hardest time staying on NO carb for my pre op diet. I should be doing high protein with veggies ONLY, and I have been doing high protein but will sneak in a couple spoon full’s of carbs. I am going to buckle down tomorrow cuz I really don’t want any complication post op.

This week leading up to surgery is soooo loong, OMG when is the day going to come??!! LOL, I guess I’m nerves and just want to get it over with, can’t wait!!!

Me in Vegas Feb 2011

Countdown time 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....

OK so I know I’m a really bad blogger, I have been M.I.A. and I’m sorry. My plan is to start blogging on a regular basis and since I’m finally getting my surgery I’m sure I will have more to talk about. I’m starting my high protein/liquid diet tomorrow and then off to Mexico next Wednesday. I’m extremely nerves and scared.

On another note; I just found out that a rapper named Paul Wall from Houston TX (yes music rapper) had the VSG surgery on 12/31/09 and has since lost over 100 pounds. I’m really excited about this cuz it will bring allot more awareness to this type of WLS.

Before 320

After 215

Very cool right??

Thank you all for staying with me on this journey, it has only just began!
