I Did It! I Did It! I Freakin Dit It!



Recommended Posts

OK! I can officially say that I have reached 100lbs as of this morning. It may be by only a few tenths but I am claiming this victory.

I am so excited this was my real first goal and I have met that goal in 7 months. Must say that it is getting harder to lose weight now but I must remember how far I have come.

I have a funny story surrounding this loss. On Saturday night, I was having really bad shoulder pain. This pain has been off and on since surgery and can get excrutiating. Well, I tried Tylenol and Motrin and nothing was killing the pain so I decided to take my left over pain medication (OxyCodone) for it. I took the recommended dosage of 2 tsp. and went off into la-la land for the night. However, I woke up Sunday morning really not feeling well at all. I felt sick to my stomach and was breaking out with cold sweats and sleeping at the drop of a pin. It took me until 3pm to feel better and I couldn't figure out why I felt so bad.

I was talking with my Mom about it and she said it sounded like I had a hang over. I chuckled because I have never been hung over in my life and wouldn't know it if it smacked me in the face. We further discussed that I probably overdosed on OxyCodone since I was given that prescription when I weighed 100lbs more. So the motto of the story is if you have prescription pain meds that were prescribed at your higher weight you might want to lower the dosage so you don't feel as cruddy as I did on Sunday. LOL

Anyways, I am elated at the 100bls officially and now on to my next goal of 220lbs....the infamous Wedding Weight of 18 years ago.

Love to all,

Cindy

Exciting news, Cindy! :thumbup:

I'm sure you did the "happy" dance when you saw that on the scale. I've been out of the loop lately, did you get there before Craig?

I'm winding down on the biggest part of the work here in RI. (Thankfully) First Bridal shower this weekend and then I'll PM you soon after.

I think I beat Craig but he hasn't posted in awhile. I hope I did dang it. Looking forward to a visit to the RI coast for a day. Hope all is well with you.

Cindy,

Not only do you and I have the same wedding weight, but we were both married 18 years ago. When is your anniversary? I'm gonna be annoyed if you beat me to 220.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
