Hi everyone

Well, one year ago today I was at Atlanta Medical Center.....changing my life FOREVER!!! lol

Anyway...thought I would post the befores and afters etc.

Pre-Op:

336 pounds, BMI 54.7, size 30-32+ clothes, size 9 shoes, Type II Diabetes, MORBIDLY obese *sigh*

One year Post-Op:

170 pounds, BMI 27.4 (just overweight now), size 14 (can you freakin believe THAT?!?!?!?),size 7.5 shoes, diabetes GONE!!!!

I have more energy now than I can ever remember having (most days). Food is still an issue but believe me....I have adjusted to this new lifestyle and it is SOOOOOOOOOOO worth it to me.

I have no doubt that this surgery saved my life and I know that things will only get better from here on out. Looking forward to trying to get approved for plastics(loose skin from HELL), but again....it is worth it.

Thanks to everyone once again for the great support system and friendships....I miss you guys!!!

Love ya,
Shree

Makes sense to me :o)

You're 55% Irish

You're very Irish, and most likely from Ireland.
(And if you're not, you should be!)

How Irish Are You?

Hard to Believe!!!!!!

Does anyone else have that lump in your throat when you are losing? That drives me crazy!!

Non-Smokers......

2006-01-19T17:30:51Z

piss me off....why do they feel it is necessary to lecture smokers about how bad it is, how much it stinks, and how we should STOP?!?!?!?!? I smoke, have for a LONG time....I am also intelligent so I KNOW it is bad for me etc etc etc. I have never once tried to talk someone INTO smoking. I am not one of those people on the after school specials that stands around whispering "come on, smoke one...you'll like it". In fact I discourage my kids from ever starting and am respectful around my friends that are non-smokers. I wouldn't want ANYONE to pick up this addiction...yes, it is an addiction and I wish I could quit but right now I can't so leave me the hell alone about it!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sick to death of the lectures and looks....it IS legal and I am WAY over 18 so bite my ass non-smokers *puff puff*

Sorry, but I had to get it off my chest....by the way neighbor (who doesn't smoke)..I hope your cough gets better *lol*

Mondays SUCK!!!!!!!

2006-01-16T18:02:44Z

Ok, so I keep screwing up on my job...not sure why. I have lack of focus these days although today was not my fault...computer error, but no back up...now I am SCREWED...man, I hope I don't get fired *sigh* It seems like every week something goes wrong here and I FEEL like it is my fault (sometimes it is). I really need this job in a BAD way even though I had a couple of other interviews last week but until something better comes along I have to maintain this one.

I am ready to go.........

God, I am SO bored

8 months.........

2005-12-27T18:14:44Z

Today is my 8 month "surgiversary". I have lost 135 pounds as of this morning. I am 1 pound away from my next goal of 200 pounds by the end of the year. Hopefully I can work that off this week *lol*. I can't remember the last time I was less than 200 pounds. I have gone from a size 30/32 and tight to a 16/18. The hair loss is slowing down and I am feeling much better for the most part. While my health has gotten better my personal life is in shambles. I have a doctor's appointment on Jan 11 to see about getting on some much needed meds. Hopefully that will help. Going to try to get some pics taken tonght at some point so I can update those. More later........

Food, Food everywhere........

2005-12-22T16:01:48Z

Office Christmas party today....I walk in a lo and behold there is a spread laid out that stretches as far as the eye can see. Dips,chips,cookies, cakes, candy, doughnuts, hot wings....OMG, I am dying here. Now last year I would have been in heaven but since the surgery food is the enemy!!!!! Today I am in the war zone. Ok, I admit that I DID have some yummy spinach dip and a few crackers already today but I am trying to avoid even going to that part of the office. I have secluded myself in my office hoping that I don't catch a whiff of anything yummy. Maybe I'll go get some water instead. I have a goal to lose 5 more pounds before the end of the year. C'monnnnnnnnn 5 pounds!!!!!! Lord, please help me make it through the day without doing a swan dive on the food table and then running to the bathroom to puke my guts out *grin*

Athens, GA

2005-12-14T04:40:54Z

Well, I am back "home"...Athens, GA. First let me say that Athens is one of those places that no matter how many times you try to move away you always end up coming back. Wow, I have been away for almost three years and so much has changed but more importantly alot of things remain the same. Comfortable for me, bad for me. I haven't really been "out" anywhere since I got back. That's probably a good thing. Seeing a million people that know you is overwhelming. It's different this time though because now when I see people I used to know (at 300 plus pounds) they are not sure who I am. They say " you LOOK familiar, but I am just not sure". I have to TELL them who I am then they can't believe it is me. I don't know if I should be offeded or not. Does that mean that they never looked at my FACE??? Does that mean that they never once looked past my body size??? Anyway...it IS good to be home. What a different world from living in the Atlanta Metro area!!!

Athens is one of those cool places where everything is artsy and eclectic. You can always go downtown and see new bands and cool shops. I am not a shopping kind of gal but I do love visiting the unusual shops found around town. Of course right now we are in the midst of "Bulldog Fever" due to the University of Georgia going to the Sugar Bowl in January. Bulldogs everywhere....fans wearing the Red and Black....UGA flags adorning alot of vehicles and the fronts of houses.I have seen more UGA decorations than Christmas Decorations this year. Excitement is in the air!! I am not really a huge football fan (you know I LOVE baseball), but I guess out of respect to the Dawgs I will watch the Sugar Bowl and pray for a win just like the rest of the Athenians *lol*

Looking for a job SUCKS ASS!! I hate everything about it and with it being two weeks before Christmas it REALLY sucks!! I am praying that something comes along soon........

*sigh* Ok, I am bored...going to bed now.

Thoughts for the day....

2005-11-14T12:17:22Z

My Dad always told me that God would never put on you more than you could handle...he was a believer in that. I guess through the cancer that thought helped him. I wish he were here right now...boy, I sure could use him. I miss him so much!! Things have really gone downhill for me in the last month and I don't know if I can handle all of this. I am scared....not just scared...... TERRIFIED!!!!!!! I can't sleep, I am constantly throwing up, I cry way too much.I am so tired of "fighting the good fight". Things have never been this bad for me and I have nowhere and noone to turn to. I have tried to be a halfway decent person and I feel like I am being punished. No, this is not the standard depression...I wish everything else were fine and it was a medical issue, but it's not.I am sad,and scared out of my freaking mind!!!! Please add me to your prayer list....I need a miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6 month "surgiversary"

2005-10-27T12:46:34Z

Good Morning everyone :o)
Today is my 6 month "surgiversary" so I figured I would update everything today.
When I began this journey I was at 336 pounds with a BMI of 54.2, had been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes.....
6 months later today I am at 228 pounds (108 lost) with a BMI of 36.8 (WOW), no diabetes either. What a ride it has been!!!!!! I have done so much more than I would have ever thought possible..nothing MAJOR but all of the little things that I really never thought of like crossing my legs both ways, sitting in booths with no problem, went to a Braves game and sat in the seats with no problem, can go up and down the stairs without having to sit down and catch my breath, etc,etc, etc. I am so happy with the weight loss. Now for the honesty(if you are Pre-op then you might not want to read this part :haha: because I don't ever want to talk anyone out of this decision)....I miss eating alot still. It would probably help if I could eat actual food sometimes. I love soup but damn it is getting old. I have accepted my plight though and am doing better with it. I used to cry and get depressed everytime someone ate something good in front of me because I wanted it so bad. Food was always my PLEASURE...I love the taste and the texture. I guess that's how I got to 336 pounds in the first place. Now, I just try to not focus on the FOOD so much. I have started painting instead. My hair is really bothering me...it is getting very thin and that scares me. I know that it will grow back eventually (I hope) so I am trying not to stress over it too much right now. Over all I would say that I am happy with the progress over the past 6 months and look forward to the future. Would I recommend the surgery now? Hmmmm...I would say that if you have tried everything else and it is a last resort then YES, I would say go for it, but be VERY prepared for the good and the BAD. Not just the mortality rates but the every day stuff. Every day is different with this surgery......expect that. Don't be fooled into thinking that it is the "easy way out" because it is not easy.....actually it is one of the hardest things you will go through, but it has it's rewards. Make sure your HEAD is straight....that is a hard part. They can fix your stomach but it doesn't change your HEAD. It is a WHOLE LIFE change. Be ready for that. So, yes, I would do this over again (can't believe I said that :o) ), but I would have asked more questions and been a little more prepared for the "what ifs".
