BMI

So I went from a 57 bmi start weight in 2013. i am now down to a 45 BMI.  When I started working towards my weight loss surgery I was at a 54.  so yes i'm doing back flips and thanking God for my new life. My weigh in today was wait for it wait for it  28 pounds..  yup from surgery day to today.  I am down 28 pounds.  I don't think anybody really notices how much I struggle every day not to put something in my mouth that I know should not be in my mouth.  But I do it cause I love the weight loss.  Today I put on a coat that I haven't been able to wear comfortably for 2 years and guess what... it fit perfect.  I now can fit behind the steering wheel where my stomach doesn't touch. I fit comfortably in the booth at subway today at lunch while eating with Brian. (had soup) So on this note.    YIPPIE  have a great day everyone. 

Day 8

Omg....  I just experienced my first dumping... it sucks... sitting her wishing I never thiught to branch out and try something I knew I wouldnt like....  yea no more of cream of chicken or anything... im going to stick with my normal stuff. 

Ok so I feel sick,  I do everyday. I hate it. Its been 7 hours since I uave actually had anythkng besides water,

I shiukd complain I know I asked for this but  oh how I hope yhe next 4 weeks go by fast

day 7

Wanna know which one my stomach is...   third from bottom.  black sharpie. the cap is the size of my new stomach.  and now everyone can see truly how big my new stomach is and why I can  eat 1 oz at a time.

today already has been a really emotional day.  Its Sunday and Sunday is bacon and Sausage day at my house.  Well today the kids decided they wanted to add an apple butter braid and my house smells so good.  last night the family had tacos  i keep crying asking myself why did i do this.  why did i set myself up to go threw all this  why am i doing all of this...... Then I looked at the fat girl in our family photo and seen my 2 wonderful kids along with the three step kids and went this is why.... i want to live for them. i want to be with them. i don't want to be stuck on the sidelines cause i'm to heavy to do anything with them.  i want to get on the tube in the summer and go tubbing,swiming at the water park, and even sitting comfortable in the chairs at the school to watch school programs.   That is why i'm doing this....

day 6

Sitting here today on 1-31-2015 6 days after my surgery day 5 of my liquid diet and I crave a bacon cheeseburger with the works, however I know that I do not want on and that my protein shake and malt o meal I'm going to have for lunch is all.  1 oz at a time 5-6 meals a day for another week and half.  Then I get to start eating things like eggs, peanut butter, cottage cheese, softer baby food kinds of foods.  Not doing to bad with the liquids just getting bored with them already.

I have found out that I have to drink very very slowly and make 1 oz last me at least 5 min or i'm in pain. so much pain with the gas and bloating, that I am normally crying.

The in-cessions pains aren't so bad anymore. I can sleep in my bed on my stomach now if i'm very very careful. I love walking. I walked around Walmart for a while last night.

I refuse to say how much I have lost in weight because i can't see it as yet, i'm still bloated, puffy and what not. but i did get on the scale and wow lets just say WOW

The New Me!

This was me on 1-27-2015

on Januray 26th, 2015 I checked myself into the Avera/McKenna Hospital in Sioux Falls, Sd and had surgery...  Gastric Sleeve Surgery.  

First lets start off with who I am. I am a 32 year old female. (33 on march 8th)  i have 2 children that are the ages of 9 and 5. My two kids are my life. I would do anything for them. Hince the reason Why I did the surgery. 

Being over weight my whole life I was not able to do a lot of the things that mom's would do. I couldn't get on the floor and play with them. chase after them at the park or even ride bikes with them in the summer.  So one day I decided to start with the process of weight loss.
