    You're welcome!! Thanks for checking in :] I am doing great with regards to the sleeve, but just today found out I have a kidney stone (OUCH). I hope this passes soon so I can get into exercising! How are you doing?

    a friend who is a brilliant cook made me some soups to eat and i froze them. i didn't have to think about what was for lunch then...and i had cereal like oats for breakfast and mashed veggies for dinner. i was lucky and had no problems with most food but was a bit reluctant to eat solid food after soft food for so long. i tried to eat some things and they didnt agree with me i left them for a few weeks. i have only just started to eat beef and have had no problems. once you have the op booked everything seems to change. well it did for me..no more struggles and people commenting that i should lose weight and be healthy..now i am joining a gym and hopefully get a little fitter..i work shift work and there was always an excuse but now i have decided to go full steam ahead....the main things i notice now is i am not as short of breath when walking as i was...i can bend down a bit more than before...can nearly put my socks on...and swollen limbs have dramatically reduced...where are you having your surgery done?

Finally!

by LaffeyTaffey on 08-17-2015 at 05:27 PM
Finally! I was on a walk with my baby this morning and got THE call. My surgery is set for September 22! It's finally going to be MY turn after 3+ years of watching others get the sleeve surgery. I've been working my butt off to lose at least the 17 requires pounds and I surpassed that a few months ago so whew! I'm hoping to get down to 300 pounds by my surgery date. I believe I weigh 319 currently, so I'm going to cross my fingers and keep doing what I've been doing since I started my required

So I'm having a baby!

by LaffeyTaffey on 11-23-2013 at 02:50 AM
Hey everyone it's been a while! This past June amidst starting my wls journey, I discovered that I'm pregnant. So instead of having my wls around now, I'm doing my best to stay healthy for my little guy who is due Feb 22nd.

I was so concerned about pregnancy AFTER wls that I honestly didn't think it would happen before lol. My ultrasound at 22 weeks showed that he was just slightly over a pound and has a perfect heartbeat. So far so good

I've actually lost 4 pounds

Hopeful Thoughts!

by LaffeyTaffey on 04-10-2013 at 08:42 AM
Well, I've done it. I've finally sent the bank statements (from when I was in High School) to my parents. They took the $4,000+ that I had saved without asking and didn't believe me when I told them so. Thus, copies of the bank statements have been sent to see if they will fullfill their promise of paying me back once I showed proof.

It's my money and i sure would love to use it to pay off my surgery! I guess I'll see just how "honest" they are. Thank goodness my dad makes

feeling blah earlier, but I have a goal now!

by LaffeyTaffey on 06-30-2012 at 02:05 PM
Earlier today, I found myself munching on some chips and queso dip while roaming through this amazing site and it hit me. What the heck am I doing sitting on my butt everyday before and after work when I have a Wii Fit Plus in the house?!*

So I turned it on, weighed myself (gained 3.5 pounds since 3 weeks ago. No surprise there), and looked at my history on my system. I started out weighing 293, went up to 299! Then back down to 288, etc. I'm disappointed with the fact that after
