My Story

[jazzeeja 24]

Yes, he's doing my sleeve this upcoming Thur. So far I've been impressed with him and his staff. Very caring people and I love that some of his staff have been in our shoes! Which hospital did you go to for your surgery?

How awesome! I love him and his staff! I recommend him to anyone who tells me they're thinking about having WLS. I had my surgery at Forrest Park Medical Center. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that everything goes as planned and you have a speedy recovery. Keep me posted on how you're doing and feel free to send me a message if you ever have any questions or just want to talk.

I love this. It amazes me how much we change inside as we gain confidence and emotional worth. For so many this surgery is so much more than our physical reflection. Congrats to you!

Today is the day!! At the hospital to check in. Looking forward to getting healthier and getting rid of these hunger pains I've had over the past week!

So what advise do u haave... what is a typical day I had the surgery and is in the soft food stage and exercise

Congratulations to you and good luck on your journey! A typical day for me is get up at 5am and do a quick 30 minute cardio excercise of some sort, then take my Vitamins and get ready for work. Before I leave, I make a Protein drink with the nectar Protein powder and drink that on the way to work (I have a 45min-1 hour commute). Have either some Cereal or oatmeal for Breakfast usually around 7:30 or so. Have a light snack around 10am (usually either yogurt, string cheese, trail mix, or fruit). Have lunch around 12:30, usually leftovers from dinner the night before. Then another snack around 3pm (usually something with some carbs and Protein like fruit and 2 tbsp of Peanut Butter or cottage cheese and some fruit). I hi to the gym for about 1 1/2 hours after work and do another hour of cardio and 1/2 hour of weights. Make another Protein Drink with the nectar protein for the ride home. Get home clean a little bit or play a sport with the boys outside, make dinner (usually either chicken, turkey or fish for the protein and will have a vegetable & carb of some sort). Get the boys ready for bed and then watch a little tv and relax for a bit. That's a typical day for me. You can feel free to message me if you have anymore questions.

My soon to be ex husband still lives at the house so he takes the boys to school and picks them up. I just got the promotion this week and my new pay hasn't goner into effect yet, so I haven't served him with divorce papers yet, but he knows it's coming. I'm sure my routine will probably change once he doesn't live with me anymore, but I'll figure something out.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to read my story and for all of the positive feed back! I wish I would have found this forum sooner so I would have felt like I had more support through the journey. I'm glad I'm inspiring others and it makes me feel good. Especially since I always felt so bad about myself until recently. Please feel free to add me as a friend or message me. Thank you again everyone! You all have touched my heart!
