    Labor Day Challenge 2012

    I want in!!! Cw :321 Gw: 299 To go from walking to running!!
  2. Hello All, It's been one week and one day since I laid down a Weightloss failure and arose a Weightloss victor. I checked in the hospital Wedensday and was checked out Friday. I was unable to hold anything down and got very weak and dehydrated, so I was readmitted on Sunday and re-released on Tuesday. First couple of days were really rough, painfully rough. The overwhelming gas pain, the stomach pain, and the pain if not being able to make myself feel better with food. After the IV restored my fluids and pain meds comfortable, I was convinced I would live. My first day home, my sleeve buddy told me she was eatting crawfish and lying in the sun reading a book, I smiled because that confirmed I had made the right decision. Wedensday was the 4th, while I could not eat BBQ, but I did enjoy an apple martini and that made it all good, lol. Thursday , today I went for my 1 week visit and stepped on that scale, it was 19 pounds lighter than the day I checked in for surgery. By the time the doctor entered the exam room, I was cry like a baby and couldn't stop. Wow.... Instead of having 200 pounds to lose , I now have 181 pounds and for the first time ever it seemed possible. And possibility is a gift worth suffering for

    Protein Shakes - Help!

    Yes I use almond milk. I'm like you gotta get it in. I had my sleeve done last Wednesday, came home yesterday. There is no way I can get anything down if I don't like it, so I have to find creative ways to make it, lol. I have 200 pounds to lose, do gotta stay focused. Please keep it touch if you find anything interesting. And I will do the same

    Protein Shakes - Help!

    I used almond milk mixed with butterscotch fat free and sugar free, mixed with vanilla whey protein shake, lol it's so good. Gives me all the protein I need -and I taste I can stand. Almond milk has extra protein and the pudding is about 25 extra calories. I add two scoops of the protein power so all together it's about 60 grams of protein

    45 Minutes Until Surgery

    Hello all, I am officially Sleeved! Lol I just came back from leak test, I could see how small My meme s
  9. Tomorrow is the day for me. Surgery starts at 8:30 am. This has been an amazing journey so far, I enjoyed following each of your stories and now my very own will take form. For those who have never been overweight, it's impossible for them to understand what makes us a family. They will never really know what this transformation means on a spiritual or psychological level. There are no words to describe what it feels like not to fit in a chair, or to get stuck. The fear of flying because you know you will spill over into the next seat. Excluding yourself from vacations because you know you can't ride the rides. As I fade into my medically induced sleep, I will be checking out of personal prison built with pounds of fat, and checking into the half way house of life. I hope to see you all there!!! Kym

    24 Hours Away From My Rebirth

    Thank you all for your words of wisdom , as the minutes pass, I'm turning into a basket case. Thank God the doctor said I can have Tylenol pm so I can sleep tonight. I'm trying to remember everything. I'm gonna get a cheap DVD player so I can watch movies. St Vincent's gives you the morphine pump, so my coworkers keep telling me I'll be too high to care what's on TV. God speed to everyone that's going under tomorrow as well. We will all wake up in victory tomorrow!!!

    Any June Sleevers?

    Mine is Wednesday. I am super charged , ready to get it done.
  17. My surgery is next Monday, and everyday I am on the Internet looking and before and after pictures envisioning myself not being the biggest person in the room, not afraid to fly on airplanes, not needed my sleep pap machine. Being able to run, wearing cute outfits, being one of the skinny chicks in the gym we all hate. Than I know what I am doing is for the best. Even though I have fears, I am assured that my victory is on the other side all I have to do is keep moving toward it. Don't allow the unknown to stop you from reaching you full potential, be steadfast have faith and with one foot in front of the other keep walking until you reach the finish line. Girl Go Get Your Blessing!!!!
