My surgery was Monday! Came home Tuesday! Already lost a few pounds! I feel like I'm getting stronger! My momma made me some homemade chicken noodle soup...just sipping the broth haha I'm so excited for this new journey in my life. I'm ready to start working out again!!!

I'm doing pretty good. Still sore and in a little pain. Had trouble with constipation. I'm so ready for week 3 to eat some scrambled eggs.

So I have one day left before surgery....today I had 4 really soft pieces of broccoli...I'm wondering if it's gonna mess me up? I didn't wanna "cheat" I was staying strong but my family definitely doesn't make it easy for me to say no. Living with my parents is also very frustrating...I know they're gonna support me but my dad (who has had the sleeve 7 years ago) is addicted to sweets. I refuse to be like him but he doesn't make it any easier because he brings snack cakes in the house weekly and my mom is terrible with bringing fried chicken in the house! I'm working on moving out sometime this year but with my surgery Monday I'm freaking out...what if the broccoli messed me up! What if I can't take the Protein drinks everyday!!! What if I miss being a big girl? Serious thoughts that pop into my head!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks guys! I'll def let them know! I found out that it's just liquids for this last day. I've always been a rebel. lol

Next week I should hear back from insurance for their "approval" and then find out the date for my surgery!!!!! Super stoked!!!!! Went out to eat at one of my fave restaurants in New Orleans...it was so yummy! So happy I got that out my system before the new year. All the January sleepers are gonna be like "new year, new me" hahahah that will shamelessly be me! Hahahah And that's what I'll do....I'll laugh and laugh and laugh about losing weight while actually doing it! Can't wait to get back into Crossfit! 2017 will be a good year for everyone!

Seeing this in black and white really hits hard. I want to cry right now knowing that I have PCOS....but I'm staying strong because I know my lord and savior Jesus Christ is a healer and he's making a way for me to lose this weight once and for all and to get rid of my diabetes and my cysts. I know one day I'll be completely healed in Jesus' name! I'm remaining confident in his word over my life that I will be a Godly wife and mother! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for that scripture! Needed it! I'm so grateful for all of my Godly friendships that are encouraging me to press in to his word while supporting me through this journey! Life definitely isn't easy but knowing the one that already knows my steps is what keeps me going and ables me to have a great outlook on life and everything I get handed!

I'm 24 and ready for surgery in January. No set date yet and haven't started the 2 week liquid/protein diet yet but I'm mentally preparing myself for these big changes! If anyone can give me advice on how to keep my hunger down before and after surgery that'd be awesome! Idk what all the letters mean but at my heaviest I was 355 I am currently 322 and a healthy goal weight overall is for me to weigh 180! I want to be really toned not just slim. I've always been really active and have lost weight earlier this year doing Crossfit, even earned the nickname Cross-Whit But now when I just go walking my knees start to hurt and I'm just ready to lose weight and get rid of the weight for good. I'm mostly just typing my thoughts to connect to others and find out what's helping others lose the most weight the fastest! Haha Also it'd be nice to have support from others that have already experienced the surgery. I have always wanted to be smaller and healthier and have always tried to lose weight but living in Louisiana it's hard to stay away from all the good eating! Hahahah Most recent full body pic!

Thanks y'all!!! CrossFit is so great! You can always try different gyms most let you try a day for free. You'll find that Crossfit is like a judgement free zone! They're like a close knit family! From my experience it's all about having a good attitude, showing up and ready to kick your own butt! I love it! We only compete with the person we were yesterday! I'm def gonna use this week to find what I do like! I've done the whole30 diet and completed it, it was tough but I feel like it's prepared me for this somehow...hopefully! (I'm very optimistic) Yesss MissJDVSG!!!!! That'd be awesome! I need someone that's going through the same process to push me!!!!! Hahaha Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went to free seminar in November, had my first appt with him 2nd week of December, just waiting on primary doctor to give clearance on Wednesday then sending off packet to insurance, dr treen said I should be able to get surgery in January! #praisethelord Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey I should be having my final appointment around the same time to figure out the date for my surgery! I was told it should be in January! So excited! I'm 24 and like you I've always been a big girl and I've always worked out, tried diets and different programs and I just got sick of weighing over 300lbs! Haven't been under 300 since I was 14 or 15 :/ I feel a lot of the same emotions! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
