Let me first say that I exceeded my surgery goals 4 years ago. I was the picture perfect model (on how it should be done) and was asked to go speak at the meetings. After about 2 yrs I went to my doctor and told him that I all the sudden can eat a plate of food before feeling full. What is going on? Why isn't my "tool" working anymore? At that point, I had regained 30 lbs. And yes, I was still following a high protein low/no carb diet and exercising 2-3 days a week (just not as ...

Typically a very positive person with my weight loss journey the past 2 yrs, but after my gall bladder surgery, I total got into a sinking ship. Time to swim back to shore.

I am coming up on my 2 yr anniversary and far from happy with the scales & myself.

Time to get re-focused on myself and put down the carbonated beverages (which do expand your stomach), no more "white" anything, no more eating after 7 pm, and get my butt running or T-25 again 5 ...

It's been a CRAZY 2015 so far. But I am happy to report things are moving along in a more positive direction this past month. My last blog had to do with my gallbladder gone bad & out it came right before my breast and arm lift. I couldn't be more happy with the results of those two surgeries.

My home life hit a sink hole (or what I thought was) in January. Never thought we as a couple would "fall apart". Understand I decided to get this surgery as a tool to help ...

Finally figured out what has caused this terrible burning/pain (what we thought to be acid reflux for the past 8 months) my gall bladder. Last weekend I landed myself in the hospital for 2 days. It started on Wednesday and kept getting worse. The pain was one that you can't breathe, having a heart attack, back pain, in my shoulders and down my arms, and burning right in the center of your chest area. Just be forewarned what it might be. I always had trouble eating lettuce, cucumbers, cabbage, ...

Well haven't posted since January. My weight loss journey has been very successful over the past year since my surgery. I surpassed my goal of 150 lbs. Dropped to 139 which means I lost 120 lbs total. Bouncing between 139-143 lbs and I am very happy with those numbers. Have the same complaint as many the loose and sagging skin, but it's part of the battle scars I created.

May 13th is a big day for me. Having a breast & arm lift done. Woo Hoo....very exciting times on ...
