I made it through surgery. I was in the hospital longer then expected and taking alittle long to recover. I'm doing good though, considering what I've been through. I will see my doctor this week for my 2 week check up since surgery. I'm having bad pain and have to stay messed up n pills to stay alive. I will soon be back to normal though!!!!!! Comments(0)

Surgery schedules for Thursday July 26th

I'm scheduled for surgery this Thursday July 26th. I'm excited by scared at the same time. I'm having my colostomy reversed. I'm excited that this will turn a new chapter in my life. Things are going great though. I haven't weighed in a couple weeks. I've came off the meds I was taking for weight loss for surgery. Can't take anything that speeds my heart rate up when they put me to sleep. I hope everything goes smooth with this surgery!!!

I had just typed out a big summary of how great my week was going, until I somehow erased EVERYTHING!!!! That's irratating!!!

My birthday is 2 weeks away. I'm setting a personal goal of lossing at least 6 lbs by then. I want to be under the 220 mark. I can't wait until I hit the 200 mark. 200 use to seem so far away, but not it seems possible!!!

I think I spoke to soon. Yesterday evening I went for my weigh in. I had gained 1.5 lbs. Everybody keeps saying it's because of it being "that time of the month." I was really upset and I called to talk to my mother, which is my best friend, and she explained to me that she gains during that time too. But, it really didn't help alot. I've been really depressed, because last week was my boyfriends birthday and I slipped and at cake and icecream. If one major slip can make you gain that quick, then that scares me, so that's why I'm hoping my mom is right. I can't let this get me off track. I've got to try for a better week next week. But I'm dreading next week, because I'm off work for a week. And being off work, makes it easier for me to eat stuff I shouldn't!!! So, I hope this week goes ok and I loose alot of weight!!!!

On my way!!

It's been alittle over 2 months since I've started my diet. I've lost 28 lbs so far. I'm really proud of myself. To me 28 lbs sounds like a huge amount, but I don't really feel that much different. Everybody keeps commenting on how great I look, but I haven't dropped but one size in my pants, and they are still alittle tight. I'm stuck between sizes. Ones to big and ones to small!!! I don't get it!!! I actually bought some new clothes like 6 months ago and they were to small. So, I kept them anyways instead of sending them back. Well, I can wear them now, but when I couldn't wear them I thought, "Maybe if I loose 10 lbs I'd be able to fit into them." But now I'm 28 lbs lighter and still barely fit in them. Has anybody else experienced this? Comments(1)

Getting ready for a new life

Hey everybody! I'm Mandi, and I'm 24 years old. I've recently had surgery on my colon and have a colostomy now. I will be able to have surgery to reverse it, but I'm trying to loose weight first. I go back to the doctor in 2 months. I've been on a diet for about a month now and I've lost 14 lbs. I really hope I keep loosing. Any advice would be great!!!!
