Small little blog.
I just wanted to do a little blog to say I have been reading http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/ and as of right now I am addicted to her recipes and blog. Her recipes come out delicious and perfect for those who have gone through any kind of weight loss surgery. Right now she is doing a spring giveaway which includes a lot of stuff that I would definitely need especially since my surgery is this coming Wednesday. Here is the link http://tinyurl.com/7l4rok3

MY SURGERY IS 2 DAYS AWAY!!!! YAY ME!
My blog will be sometimes depressing, sometimes it will reflect happiness. Its going to be all of my bitching, moaning, venting, complaining, celebrating and etc. If you do not want to hear me complain about things, talk about random things or celebrate something small that I may have accomplished, don't read it. It will also document my journey after my WLS. It's meant for me to just let it all out. Hope you enjoy!

My Apologizes and so much to catch up on
Man I really need to get better at blogging especially since I actually like doing it. So first and foremost I want to say sorry to my followers (if I have any). OK where do I even start. Well the last post I had basically stated that I was a few pounds down, I wear and CPAP for sleep apnea and etc. Well I am proud to say that (drum roll please)
I GOT APPROVED!!!! After a plethora of tests that I had to do they finally submitted my paperwork to my insurance company and 2 weeks later I was approved. I am so happy that this journey will actually start and its reality, its not a dream anymore.
As far as the weight loss that I was supposed to lose by this time right now. I struggled, I struggled a lot! I gained a few, lost a few and my BIG setback was that for some reason in 2 weeks I gained 7 lbs. I say for some reason but I know, I admitted to myself that I gained those 7lbs because of what I ate. I ate something I wasn't supposed to. Not a lot of it but instead of following the no carbs eating, I failed and ate carbs. BAD ME!! I went to my appt. with my surgeon and she was kind of shocked but told me just keep on losing the weight. I need 7 more to lose before my surgery which is 10 days away. I know I can do it and I will. The biggest question that most people have ask me is am I nervous or scared. As of right now I am neither, I am more excited then anything. I know it will be a major challenge but I am ready to take it on. The only thing I am worrying about is the fact that I get majorly nauseous and vomit a lot after having anesthesia, my stomach hates it and since I am having surgery on my stomach I think the pain will be even worse. I hate that I get so sick and am hoping that they will have something to help the nausea ease during the coming out of it process. We shall see.
Things that I am afraid of after surgery
- I'm afraid my husband won't like me as much as a smaller chick, he loves the plus size women with big boobs. I don't think I'll have much left of my boobies.
- I'm afraid that my ass will be no more, I barely have one now.
- I'm afraid my boobs will be no more, they've already gone from a DD to a C.
- I'm afraid of the loose skin hanging all over the place.
- I'm afraid I'm going to have a lollipop figure (big head small body)
So I know I mentioned a loooong time ago that we are looking into moving and I am happy to say that 2012 we are moving. We are extremely excited about it. My husband has a hook up out there and he is currently looking into working as an RA. If we do go his job will pay for a place to live until we get settled into our own place. That would give me enough time to look for a place to work and get the kids into daycare/school. It's just time for us to do what we need to do for our family. It's going to be hard especially since we are both so close to our family but we have to do what we need to do for us. We'll be able to see our family a few times a year and we'll still have the Internet and thank God for Skype. It's going to be strange at first but I am sure we will adapt.
WORK
Work has been crazy, I'm not stressing about it though. You just have to roll with the punches, its the same o same o and I'm just so used to it that I let it roll off my back and move on.
OK well, I promise that I will keep updating on my procedure and life in itself, I know I've said it before but I am going to try.
My procedure is on April 4, 2012 at 10:30. Here's to a new me and a new life with my family.

Progress and Check in
Just a quick little update
Sleep Apnea & The CPAP
After my sleep study, I got the results back and I was shocked to see that I actually have sleep apnea and I am not just overly exhausted. My doctors office even said that it was a severe case and that I would need to start using the CPAP machine to treat it until I lose more weight. I wasn't excited about the machine at all, but I was excited about getting more sleep and not falling asleep while on the road. I went to pick up my machine and while I was there i tried on 2 masks that look like torture. I picked one that I felt comfortable with and took it home.
1st night was awful, it was uncomfortable and I had to keep myself from having a panic attack, my ears kept popping every time I swallow, I couldn't adjust it, air kept coming out. I got so fed up, I ended up snatching it off and just sleeping without it. 2nd night was a little better, I got it to fit right, my ears still popped everytime I swallowed and I ended up snatching it off because something scared the crap outta me and I couldn't take it anymore. Night 3 was better than all of them, I put the mask on, elevated my pillows and went to sleep quite fast, my ears popped again but not as bad but I slept. I still ended up taking the mask off in the middle of the night, due to me having really really dry mouth. In the end i guess its just going to take some time to get used to it but I try to think positive, once I lose more weight I won't need a machine period.
So let's see, these past 2 weeks, I had an awesome weigh in, I went to my venous ultrasound which came out good, no blood clots or risks of blood clots in either leg. I went to my 1st support group and my bariatric nutrition class. Next up is my EKG, Gallbladder Ultrasound, Chest x-ray, Labs and I think that may be it. I'm excited and also nervous but more excited. I now see why they call WLS a learning tool to use to lose and maintain weight. Back in the days like most people I too thought that WLS was the easy way out but after all the research that I have done and the support groups I have gone too, I now see that its not the easy way out, its a life change that you have to stick to because if you don't you can still gain all the weight back.

Honesty
MY WEIGHT
I have been very self conscious and quiet about my weight ever since I realized I was overweight or obese. I realized I was overweight in 6th grade, I remember I was sitting outside with all of my friends and we were all sharing how much we weighed. I proudly told everyone that I was 114lbs. They all looked at me and said that's a lot. I was so embarrassed and at that point I just knew I would never ever tell anyone how much I weigh. They can just use their own judgement.
It wasn't until I started doing Vlogs on YouTube that I figured who cares, its a weight loss journey vlog and only people who are in the same boat as me are going to watch it so why not. I think I am up to that point right now where I know I need to lose weight and now is the time to just be comfortable sharing how much I weigh and how much I am looking to lose and etc.
The next Blog will be my weight with all the goal dates that I will try and stick to. Doc said I need to lose 30 pounds before my gastric and I will and I will check in and log it for the ones who follow my journey and for those who just care to see how I'm doing.

It Starts
WARNING THIS BLOG MAY SOUND A BIT RAMBLY!!!!
(in other words I may go on and on at random)
After much anticipation, I finally got my appointment with my surgeon to talk about my procedure. Before that me and my husband went to an orientation session that talked about each one of the procedures (Lap-Band, Gastric Sleeve and Gastric Bypass). I pretty much knew which one I was going to get but it was good to hear the risks, the side effects and the percentage of weight loss.
Next came my sleep study. Wow! the sleep study was so scary and uncomfortable. For one thing I had to go alone and it was at night when the offices in that building are closed. I walked in and there was a tall man who may have been Russian he had a strong accent but I don't know. He led me in the office and I was so glad to see that there were other people there so I wasn't going into a torture chamber. I walked into what would be my room and it looked like a hotel room it had a nice bed and fluffy pillows, he proceeded by putting about 8-10 sensors all over the face, neck, head and nose. He told me to lay down, also instructed me to try and stay on my back (which really sucks because I'm a side back sleeper) and put a sensor in my nose that measured the way I breath and said if I have trouble or stop breathing then he will have to hook me up with the CPAP which is a device that controls sleep apnea. He said goodnight and closed the door. At first I couldn't sleep at all and was just staring at the dark, I was so used to being in bed with my husband with the TV on or even hearing my one year old babbling in the background. Once I got used to that I fell asleep. My dreams were so odd that night, I can't even explain what happened but they were interrupted by him coming in and telling me that I would need the mask to help me sleep better.
Holy crap is that mask uncomfortable! I thought I was going to have a freaking panic attack! He put it on me and made it tight, said goodnight again and left. Omg I thought I was going to freak out, I have this crap that has air coming through that I am breathing in, I started to think, am I actually in a torture chamber? After I took a deep breath I calmed down and went to sleep, the weird dreams started again and were again interrupted by someone from somewhere telling me to lay back on my back because I was making the CPAP do weird things. So I rolled back over to my back and fell back asleep. Next thing you know the CPAP shuts off and it feels like my air was half taken away and again I almost panicked, I needed someone to come right away to take this device off of me. Needless to say and to make a long story short, besides the major back pain that i had because I slept uncomfortable and on my back all night, I had the best sleep ever with that machine.
Diagnosis: The tech said I would need to use the machine until I lost more weight.
I am not looking forward to it but I am looking forward to feeling refreshed when I wake up and not falling asleep while driving.
Moving right along to my one on one. I went in to talk to my surgeon about my options and what she thought was the best for me. She actually ended up saying that she thought the Gastric Bypass (instead of the gastric sleeve) would be the best procedure for me......uh.....I'm not too sure about that. She said I have a while to thing about it which is good and that I should just keep researching and talking to anyone who has had it done.
Next up....scheduling a crap load of appointments with the coordinator.
I won't type it all but I will post what needs to be done so you can see.
DIET!
The surgeon wants me to lose 30lbs. before the procedure. GOOD LAWD!!! I know I can do it though. I am on my way to a new life and a new me and I'm so excited.
In other news
Next year we plan on trying to get our lives settled, we are hoping and praying that everything will all fall into place. We are hoping the hubby gets a job, gets his license back, we find a Lil apartment and find a more reliable car all by February of 2012. Let the savings and frugal living begin.....AGAIN
Until next time, stay happy healthy and drama free.

life's a stage, a comedy: either learn to play and take

My 1st Appointment was to make appointments (short and sweet)
Update regarding my appt.
My first appt at association of south bay surgeons was kind of lame. They checked my weight and took a snapshot of me like a mugshot and then I was taken to a lady who set up 2 appts. for me, one for an orientation and one for a one on one with my surgeon. I asked the lady if she knew when my insurance would tell me if its approved and she said if I got this far I will probably be approved. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'm not going through all of this for nothing. Wish me luck!

Work life
So I finally figured out why I get so stressed out at work, its not what I do for the Corp. office and its not what I do for my crazy manager. It's what I do to help people out and when something happens frustration happens, upset happens and I feel like its taken out on me. I swear if you don't think I'm capable of doing something then just take me away and let me just focus on something else. I know I am a good worker and I know I do my job well. I may have stuff to work on as an assistant manager but I know that what I do should be appreciated, I get that appreciation from some but never from the cause of my stress. Oh well its cool.....I'm done venting now, tomorrow is another day.

What do they think?
Change is going to come and what do my family and friends think about it?
My Husband
When I told my husband about it, he wasn’t against it but he wanted to go with me to ALL appts. And here what is exactly going to be going on. After that he’ll make the decision if he’s ok with it too. His point is that he doesn’t want anything bad to happen; he doesn’t want to lose his wife and etc. I totally understand what he is feeling.
My Mom & Dad
I told Mom about what my decision was and surprisingly she wasn’t against it. She told me to pray about it and whatever I decided she would be there for me. At first I didn’t even want to tell her at all but this time I told her about my research that I’ve been doing for it and why I made the decision and she was so positive. We both would practically die if we lost each other. My Well I haven’t had the chance to talk to him about it……well…I actually don’t know if I want to tell him about it at all. I’m kind of scared of his response. I shouldn’t be because my Dad loves me and is always there for me through whatever I go through but I’m kind of just not telling him until I find out details for sure and if I am even approved. So Dad will have to wait.
My co-workers
I’ve been telling some people at work about it, only the people that are close to me because I don’t think its anybody else’s business. My close co-workers are very supportive and if I get it done they are going to be my support too. At work we tend to snack, snack, snack and snack, so with support from them too I know I’ll be strong.
My friends
I’ve only told a few friends, I don’t have many friends so I guess I should say that I’ve told 2 friends. My 2 friends asked a lot of questions basically the usual what is it, why do you want it, do you feel you need it and what are the common side effects. Since I’ve been researching for so long I had the answer to EVERY question. I was fully prepared for their negativity and their thoughts of being against it but surprisingly they both had my back and said if I needed anything during the process just let them know.
Dr. Takahashi
My 1st doctor’s appt. is tomorrow. I’m anxious and excited at the same time. The last couple of weeks my weight has been like a Yo Yo, up 3lbs. down 2 lbs. up 1 lb. down 3 lbs. It’s so annoying!I appreciate all the thoughts, support of prayers from my family and friends and we’ll see what the doc says tomorrow.
Until next time, have a great week!

Short and Sweet RN/LVN
So....I have an appt with the adviser on the 19th to discuss applying for MSMC in January of 2012. I went to the information session and learned that its going to be quite rough especially having a family and also supporting the family too. It's what I want to do though, I've wanted to do it ever since I was a little kid and didn't do it because I'm an idiot who just assumed that I wouldn't be able to do it. It's a new start and I'm ready for the challenge. I was think maybe I could start out small but going to school to be a licensed vocational nurse but I don't know, we'll see.

Depression turning into happiness.
I think I'm in a state of minor depression. I'm going through a hard part of life and I can't wait til it passes. I'm staying positive no matter how hard it is to. Within the next few months I will be making a decision regarding part of my life. It will be my own decision and I'm hoping people will understand why I am doing it and just be there for me. I'm also planning on going to school for nursing because it's time for me to get down to business, do what I love and make good money for doing what I love. I'm excited for these new changes and I cannot wait til I can get the ball rolling.

Down n' out, worn out and tired
Ugh!
I'm tired, being a parent is so rough. I get home from work and I have to work at home. When do I get to rest? I don't. Today was a stressful rough day and it took a lot outta me. I feel like collapsing and wish I could take the rest of the week off. Not to mention the fact that I did not lose weight this week, instead I gained a pound. I know why already, I'm so upset with myself and I just need motivation, I have none. All I want to do is come home and do nothing. I don't want to work out because i am lacking the energy. I hate the way I am feeling right now. I am excited to be starting weight watchers hopefully next week, maybe talking to others like me will help because doing it by myself is a struggle. It's like I stay with it for a minute then I drop it and crash. Anywho I can't wait til our adult vacation, it's greatly needed for us, I'm hoping it will just rejuvenate me. Until next week, thanks for taking the time out to read.

Morbidly Obese
MORBIDLY OBESE
I see those 2 words and they scared the crap outta me. Who would of thought that I would fall into that category? Not me. It's scary to see those words and its just a wake up call that I really need to step it up. I said I needed motivation and those 2 words should be it. I swear I should post that up everywhere as a reminder. Those 2 words make me cringe every time I see them. I don't want to die this way, I gotta get healthy so I won't see those 2 words anymore. They scare me to death. This week starts the Couch to 5K again. I'm on my way to not being MORBIDLY OBESE!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Weight check in: I am the same weight as I was last week, its a little disappointing but at least it wasn't a gain.
Have a good week!

This is my 3rd and last time trying to post my 1st 2011 blog! ARGH!
So I was going to start this blog off with saying, I failed, I'm ashamed, I gained weight, I did bad, but I decided not to. 2010 is over and I refuse to focus on it.
It's 2011, everybody asks what are your resolutions? Well....I don't do resolutions because I never stick to my resolutions. I am the kind of person that will set goals, I like to set goals to where I know that I WILL attempt to succeed in whatever goals I set. So my goal for this year is to better myself as a whole. Yes I am working on trying to lose weight but there are other things I have in mind when it comes to thinking about myself. I'm shocked that I am even thinking about myself because I tend to put myself last, yeah I know I'm not supposed to but hey my boys are so important to me, they always come first. My plans to better myself involve, weight loss (along with exercise and healthy eating), that comes first because I want to live to see my kids grow up, set an example to my children that being healthy is important. I too want to be healthy, I want to see myself as pretty and I just want to have the whole package with self-esteem and confidence in it too. Second is I want my girlie back, when I was dating Jason I used to wear dresses, skirts, cute girlie tops and makeup and wear my hair down. Now, years later, with 2 kids, I wear sweat pants and Jason's t-shirts :-O I don't want to be like that anymore so that change is definitely happening as we speak, obviously I am a broke ass but I'm making due, lol. Oh and I know that some of this sounds like a repeat of other blogs but its just my goals and I plan on sticking to it. Don't worry the other blogs won't sound as repetitive.
Other things I have in the works are the fact that I got a promotion, it all started with drama that I won't mention and I think they had another reason why they promoted me but I won't go there and I'll be happy that it finally happened. I am now pretty happy to go to work & I'm more motivated to continue doing the awesome job that I already do.
In other news, things may be changing this year, I won't go into details because nothing is set in stone but I'm hoping everything will work out just fine. Like my dad says, "remember the 2 P's, prayer and planning", I'm definitely going to keep that in mind so we won't have any surprises.
Alright I'm going to end this and I'm not going to end this by saying I promise to blog every week but I will say it is my intention to blog as much as I can because it helps me relieve things and its kind of a hobby for me, I'll try to make it as exciting as I can.
| ANNOUNCEMENTS |
Last week I lost a lb. and this week my goal was to lose 2lbs. I'll keep that part of my journey updated.
Have an awesome week!

Update
Procrastination.....
I know, I know, I promised I would update and blog once a week and I have not. The question is why? I actually have no clue, I don't go to school anymore so why can't I find the time to blog? It's a mystery.....I think I feel like my blog will get boring after awhile because there is no excitement in my life. Life is going well but what else is there? Yes there is my personal journey through my pregnancy but then again you can go online and find many resources on people journeys through pregnancy so what makes mine so different? Is it really that exciting? Enough to catch people's attention and enough for people to actually be interested in my own journey? I'm not so sure.
I am sitting in my car on a Wednesday morning blogging because I forgot my keys on my desk in my office, I went upstairs and figured I would just call my co worker and ask if she could open the door and then I realize that I don't even have my phone to call. Maybe this should happen all the time because then it forces me to go back to my car and sit and wait until someone shows up and that then makes me get my iPad out and play with it, which led me to blogging. Ok I'm done for now and I will not promise to do this every week but I will try not to procrastinated and just do it every once in awhile.

Happy Almost Turkey Day!
Update on losing weight
I noticed something about myself, I know for sure if my weight went back up because I have a shirt that when I bought it, it was loose, a half a year after I bought it, it got tight. After I lost those 30 pounds it was REALLY loose and now its back to being tight. I hate when that happens but I am glad it does happen because its a reminder to me that I need to get back on track for that shirt to be loose again. So I am proud of myself today, I was feeling lethargic, full, tired and lazy so instead of giving in to that feeling and just laying on the bed watching TV. I got myself up and took a walk. While I was walking my chest starting hurting and I was out of breath and that was a wake up call that if I push myself to do some kind of activity every single day I won't have to feel that pain anymore. I just had to share that. I'm going to be pushing myself to get more active whether it be taking a walk or doing a workout video. My goal by mid January is to be able to walk 5 laps around our neighborhood without any pain or without being extremely out of breath. My goal by February is to be able to jog 1 lap without slowing down. Believe it or not I can actually jog but it doesn't last more than a few minutes, lol.
Work
I need change.....nuff said.
My family
For those who pray (I know some of you don't believe), just keep our family in prayer that we can get everything that we need to live and be on our own. Pray that Jason will get a decent job, pray that my car doesn't fall apart on me and just pray that we stay healthy and sane.
Fashion
I am tired of seeing so many people going after their dreams and becoming a fashion designer overnight. I realize that i cannot do that but maybe I should stop procrastinating and at least work on something. I mean I have a sewing machine, my markers, my sketching pad and pencils. I have fabric, a crap load of patterns, some thread. So what is the problem, I mean really what more do I need? I really cannot answer that at all. I don't think I am good enough. I think I need a refresher course. I feel like I've lost everything that I learned back at FIDM. I'm in a rut and want to get out but can't and I have no clue why. I have so many ideas, yet I don't apply myself to just do it (like Nike, LOL).
Moving in 2010
ATLANTA! I'm coming to visit you next year, be ready cuz I am.

Confessions...
I need to be brutally honest with myself and let this out so here we go....
Weightloss
Before my wedding I made a goal (December 2008) to lose weight before the ceremony so I could be a beautiful bride. Well I did it, I lost 30 pounds, I still wasn't at my best weight but I had progress. My wedding comes and goes (yay me!) and we go to Vegas and go all out. We didn't hit any buffets but we also didn't eat too right. I end up gaining almost 10 pounds of my weight loss back. ARGH! Wtf is wrong with that picture? I made the decision that I didn't want to live like this anymore and yet I am now STILL on the bumpy road trying to lose weight. What the heck is going on? I made another decision after going to have a little chat with my Dr. that I am going to look into other solutions to help with my weight loss. Some people are for it and some people are against it. I have done a years worth of research and it may be something I am going to do. Not for anyone else but myself. I know a few people who made this decision because of what others think of them and that isn't me. I want to better myself, be healthy for myself, be healthy for my son and live a healthier life. I feel that it will help me retrain my body to when I am full, it will lead me on the right path to better my health and myself. Like I said its my own opinion and my own choice, my family is on my side and my husband will be there by my side too. We shall see what happens. Right now I am on my way to live healthier, I changed up my diet AGAIN by not dieting and just eating right. I've been eating the right portions and staying away from fast food ( I swear, when you are broke, you do eat healthier, LOL) I said that I would be brutally honest and I mean that. I admit that I am severely overweight and I admit that I am struggling A LOT with it. I admit that I have been on the road and fallen off of the road but I promise myself that I will NOT give up on it. I promise myself that I will motivate myself to get off of my ass and work out, even if its a fast walk EVERYDAY! I will not drop the ball this time. I am tired of being overweight and I want to be able to look in the mirror and see pretty. I have been overweight ALL of my life and I hated every minute of it, I was abused by a friend of mine in elementary school who said she WAS my best friend and treated me like crap. I used to make excuses to not go to school all because of her. I was made fun of in PE class, I was made fun of all through high school and sometimes even now. I was sad all the time, I saw myself as ugly, I had no self esteem and I just hated myself. I hate it. I don't want to remember all that crap about me anymore. I want to be confident in myself. I want to see what everyone else sees and believe it. Sad but true. My husband sees me as beautiful and I do see beautiful but I want to see it in me all the time, not when I wear make up, not when I put a certain piece of clothing on. I want to see the pretty in me, ALL the time. I am on my way to beautify myself!
Enough of the fat talk....
So as you know, we are thinking of moving out of state. I'm excited about it. We have to take care of a few things financially but we hope to move out the middle of next year. That is of course if we like it and if we find what we are lookin for out there.
Work
Yeah I can't say too much about work (cuz most of it is all negative and has lots of explicit language), its work and I thank God everyday that I have a job. I start my business classes again next year, I'm excited about that.
Marriage
I love being married and I will love it more when we finally get to move out, until we get our financial situation in order and even more when we are able to just be. (Does that make sense?) We want another kid, Jordan needs a playmate and its just time. Don't be scuuuured we aren't trying yet, its not our time. I need to lose weight, we need our own place, we need good jobs, we need money and etc.... We can't wait but we WILL wait.
Mkay, I'm done for tonight. Let see what tomorrow brings.
Oh I'm also keeping track of what I eat and only weighing myself once a week on Fridays, I usually do a Vlog on Youtube but I stopped for awhile until I can say that I really am doing something positive with my weight loss journey.
Ok nuff said, goodnight!
On the next episode
Updates, School and Fashion
Stay Tuned....
I am going to blog EVERYTHING tonight, be ready for some honest, sad, blunt things that I am going to say about myself.

I'm back
So I just wanted to do a quick blog to say, I lost 30 pounds at the beginning of the year before our wedding and I gained 5 back and am very disappointed in myself. So I'm restarting my journey because I am just so dissatisfied with my progress, I keep procrastinating and I have to put a stop to it! I've also come to realize that getting the lap band IS really an easy way out. A friend that i know got it and told me she lost 16 pounds in a week. I was like wow maybe I should get it too. Then I asked what have you been eating and she says only liquids. So I realized yeah I would lose 16 pounds being on a liquid diet too! WTF?! Stay tuned for more!

I know I know I'm late!
I am late only because I fell off track for a bit, the good thing is though I am back on track and am still slowly but surely losing. I got back into walking everyday and my foods that I eat are lacking in the bad carbs. I even bought new walking shoes! Anyway my goal is to lose 19 pounds by the end of this month so wish me luck!!!!

So.....I'm upset!
I gained some pounds over Valentines weekend I am planning on getting back into my diet of course instead of saying forget my diet. I just had to confess about my weight gain. I feel better now. I refuse to beat myself up for it and I refuse to give up especially since I have my dress and got it 2 sizes too small. Until next Sunday, happy work out!
