Out with the Old, In with the New

Hi everyone. Surgery is 13 days away. I found out yesterday I tested positive for H Pylori. So I am taking 4 horse pills to combat this monster bacteria in my stomach. On a good note, I have been eating a low carb diet for 12 days now and I have lost 15 pounds. My overall weight loss is 42 pounds. So I ventured into the back of my closet the other day and pulled out some "skinny" jeans (isn't it strange I call size 24 my "skinny" jeans), anyway, they are my favorite jeans of all time and I was so excited when the slipped over my hips and fit comfortably. A lot of my friends have been telling me, "oh when you lose weight I want that leopard dress" or "I want that jacket and jeans." It got me to thinking, I have some clothes that I LOVE. I am going to hate parting with them. I know I will buy new, smaller, more stylish clothes but I'm really attached to some of these items. Am I crazy? Well yeah, my friends would say I am on any given day, but I mean for thinking this way about clothes.   I also realized that other things are going to change. I'm such a big girl right now, I don't think anything about crossing a parking lot. I expect the cars to stop for me. This big girl makes a big dent if they hit me. I don't think their insurance is that good. I'm gonna have to learn to stop and look both ways when I get skinny. I also don't worry about someone grabbing me and kidnapping me. Have you ever heard of a 300 pound woman being taken? No! But once I'm skinny, this could be a real situation. Good thing I'm a pistol packing country girl. Of course my mom always taught me if a man was following me suspiciously to start scratching my crotch and pretend I was eating boogers. LOL! I'm betting that would deter them for sure.

Putting it all out there

Hi everyone. I appreciate you taking time to read this. Today's entry will be short because I am on my lunch break. I'm pretty open with my life so I've had a few people encourage me to write a blog. This is all very new to me but I'll try to make it interesting.   I guess I should start with the title of my blog, "The Princess and the Sleeve". Now of course I am not a real life princess nor am I a spoiled brat. I was raised by a single mother and have never had much money. My husband and I are happy with what we have but we both work 2 jobs to have that comfort. However, I do have a family that treats me like #1 and a husband that works very hard to give me the things I need and ask for. That alone makes me feel like royalty and therefore, a princess.   I was a super skinny kid and a beauty queen, cheerleader as a teen. My weight problems didn't come until after high school. I guess I quit playing sports and was less active. My food choices were all fast food and I was leading a party life. So along with spreading my wings, my ass was also spreading.   I met my husband when I was 22 and I was already 250 lbs. He has never seen me smaller than a size 16. We have been married 19 years this June. I am scheduled to have Vertical Gastric Sleeve surgery on 2/25/13. I hope you will follow me on my journey.
