    Hello! I am new here and just came across your profile. First, let me say - you are hilarious! I loved each one of your posts! My surgery is coming up on Tuesday (May 21st) and to say I am terrified is putting it mildly. It makes me smile to hear I am not the only one going through a million different emotions! Keep up the good work!

    lol girl I haven't been on line much lately. I just read your post about the potlucks they are truly the devil !! How are you doing?I have plateaued at 60 lbs. I started running (or the flat girl shuffle as I call it) to try to kick up the weight loss. How is your journey going?

    No worries. I haven't been on the board too much lately myself. I have had a couple of bad weeks I am up almost 5 lbs. and totally pissed off at myself !! i am about to blog about it so that I can face this set back and move forward. How are you doing?

    So who are you using for your surgery? What part of Dallas are you in? I am in McKinney but I am always running around all over. LOL

    I am doing well !! I don't regret it. I am still struggling a little with getting in enough water and protein. But I am down 25.4 lbs. in about 3 weeks!! SO it's definitely doing the thing. I am at the pureed foods stage. But honestly I am eating regular foods some what and not pureeing them. I am eating string cheese, smoked turkey deli meat, mashed potatoes, tuna out of the can and I even had some popcorn. I think you will not regret it. I definitely think that it's worth it to know that you are doing something to take control of your health. I am not working out I plan to start this week. I had an incision that is just now healing up and I wanted to be sure it was closed before going forward with the workouts. I will tell you that the first day was very painful from the gas they blow you up with. I did not walk my first day of surgery but the next morning I was up and walking. That's the key to get up and move around. Where are you going to have your surgery? I went to Mexico and I don't regret it one bit.
  15. This is our week, blessings to you and a speedy recovery!

I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
I can recall some of the first times i was made aware that i was the "heavy kid" in school. Thank you public education system and your need to weigh kids in the library in front of EVERYONE. Its so vivid... kid after kid gets on the scale number said out loud for all ears to hear... I step on scale...wait.. gasp... why is my number 20 lbs more than everyone else...damn!! And that would be the start to a wonderful journey I call "The Misadventures of the Fat Kid"....

Jump to a grown kid in her late 20s... like most lifers of the game we call obese HELL... I'm tired of the health problem, the social problems, the damn that outfit looked really cute on the lane Bryant model but horrible on me, secretly buying "weight loss" pills that do nothing but make you jittery, and "whats wrong with me Ashley's sister's bestfriends' cousin's brother-in-law lost weight eating only salads for 3 months problems". I did weight watchers, i did the gym things for 305x a week, I even got to a cool point of jogging for 15 mins no break and lost 50 lbs!!! BOOM! The weight wasnt melting off anymore... and I was NO WHERE close to being a healthy weight... hell I was still OBESE and the weight wasnt coming off!! the gym became less and less appealing and talapia just didnt get me like it use to. I moved to Dallas from Ohio and gained 20 lbs along the way! I'm a failure! Ill always be fat!! I tried and i lost!! But I'm almost 30... the first book of my life is about to end and I'll be damn if I cant make the 2nd and 3rd book in the series of my life... F'n awesome! So i stopped caring what my family, friends, or "the others" would say. I'm going to take my life in my control and NOT apologize for trying....

The little engine that could... 199!!!

by ostategirl on 05-17-2013 at 01:58 PM
Boom!!

Its been a slow pace journey but I've learned to love the slow pace because out of nowhere my body got the memo! After March I was super determined to watch what I ate and exercise and looky looky the weight started to finally melt off!!
Today I get on the scale and for the first time... since who knows (no seriously i cant recall) I didn’t see 2--. I weighed in at 199.2. Dare I say i have no idea how to digest (joke indeed) this! What does this mean?? Rally the troupes

I've missed this place... its been a while.

by ostategirl on 02-20-2013 at 09:34 AM
I haven’t been on the site in months... changed jobs, holiday seasons, hulu and netflix... they've kept me pretty occupied. But I do miss the community and support the site provides. I tried my office monthly support group. It was okay.... but most of the people there had bypass. I'm a slow loser. Hey I lose just not a quickly as others on the site. I've accepted the weight wont melt off without exercise... so I've been working on consistently going to the gym. I dont focus too much on "what"

Health-O-Meter II lives to see another day..

by ostategirl on 11-02-2012 at 11:06 AM
Right when I was gathering up my medical receipts to shove in my surgeon face… demanding why the heck my weight didnt really move for WEEKS post op.. I travel back north get on my trusted (and truly missed) Health-O-Meter I aka Mr. OG aka i report accurate weight aka "I'll never lie or die" and behold... like a perfectly wrapped burrito.. i lost weight... I lost 5 lbs. I step off and back on because at this point men lie, women lie, and the scale in my apt lies too! But nope it keeps reading

My magical (or lack of magic) adventures

by ostategirl on 10-23-2012 at 03:13 PM
blah blah blah (in my ke$ha voice)

So I'm 6 weeks post-op (well actually 5 weeks and 5 days but who's that picky with the #s)!! I've lost 10-15lbs depending on how i want to compare/contrast/subtract from 3 different scales (home, hospital, weight loss center)! I've decided to declare Health-O-Meter II an enemy of the state. What state? Well... the state of my mind! HA WTF?! The scale refuses to move! I believe Health-O-Meter is holding my weight loss hostage and I need to negotiate

3 1/2 weeks post-op: Emotional Venting Moment

by ostategirl on 10-07-2012 at 10:28 AM
I hope that 6 months from now I chuckle when I read this... that my wish...

Please bare with my as I am going to go all over the place... no true focus... just venting with run on sentences and no clear point.

Buyer remorse... reality kicking in... whatever it is... I'm emotional today. I usually get it in check.. I PUT myself back in line. But today (in this moment) I give myself permission to vent. Open up the flood gates... let it all out so that hopefully the energy
