Little did I know

Little did I know my life would change in 2012... I had a lot of goals, which quickly fell apart and did not become a priority.

On a happy note, I was engaged on March 10, 2012.. Greatest day ever besides giving birth to my sweet girl Isabella. I was overjoyed and we quickly decided to plan on a wedding. I choose December because I love that time of year but was quickly slowed down because if I wanted my ideal wedding it would cost money and we needed time to pull this together. We choose March 23, 2013 and things are slowly be put into place...


So my purpose of my blog is going to change. I am going to use this as a place to record my weight lost journey. I am excited and ready to do this for real and the right way.. No more half ass attempts.. This is  it my final chance to get myself healthy and ready for my new married life....

On August 28, 2007 weighing in at 287lbs (size 24) I had the lap band procedure done. The pants I wore to the hospital are still hanging in my closet to remind me that I once weighed in at 309lbs (size 28) my heaviest weight ever.  Through the 5 years of lap band hell my weight was all over the place with my lowest weight hitting 163lbs (size 10)....I was think and very sick suffering extreme malnutrition from bulimia. My doctors emptied my band and but me into treatment. I quickly gained over 100lbs bringing my weight back to around 268 lbs. I decided that something needed to be done and made an appointment with my doctor, along with seeing a nutritionist and going to the gym.

On June 15th I walked into my Dr's office weighing in at 267 lbs.... We decided that I was going to have the gastric sleeve to help me with my weight issue along with removing my lapband. My insurance finally approved the procedure and I am scheduled for surgery on Thursday, August 15th. I am excited and scared but I know that I am ready to do this, the right way of course...

Dr's appointment- Friday, August 10th.. 260.1- Ready for surgery.. Scared but I know this is my time to shine. Started protein sparing fast diet... Not too great but I know I need to make these changes..

Saturday August 11th- Day #2 Protein Sparing Diet (weight 258).. Who knew the multi-vitamins would be the highlight of my day....
