Crossing My Fingers
Diet appointment is tomorrow.. If I dont lose any weight, we are going to try to work around the insurance to get me approved for surgery because the medicine I’m on makes me retain water..
Friday is my Hematologist doctor appointment to see if my blood clots are gone.. if they are, I will be cleared for surgery from that doctor..
Hopefully all goes well.. I want my surgery so bad.
Whoo Whoo!
Just had my monthly weigh-in and I lost 12 pounds! 20 more to go.. before I can qualify for surgery. It’s so hard getting this weight off with this medication that I am on.. It makes me retain a lot of water. So, I don’t think I will be having surgery in August.. maybe September!

Huge Weight lifted off my shoulders!
Sooo, me and my fiance went to his grandparents house yesterday and I haven’t seen them in like a year! I have gained soo much weight since last time that I saw them, so I didn’t wanna go inside. My fiance talked me into going in and I did.. and it wasn’t bad at all. They are very supportive and uplifting! I told them about me wanting surgery in August but I wasn’t sure...
blah
ugh… sometimes I hate my life!!!
Stress Stress Stress
Unemployment is running out and I am currently searching for a job.. nothing has been promising yet and I have applied to TONS of places..

treadmillionaire asked: Let me first of all say this, I had complications relating to seperate illnesses, so don't panic when I write about immense sickness or pain. The way I could best describe the feeling of your stomach after surgery (first few days) is like you have been doing some serious ab crunches or yoga. My tummy felt stretched as if I'd done some hardcore exercise, not painful just different. I had...
treadmillionaire asked: I'm also proud that you chose the gastric sleeve. I initially was booked for the band, but changed on recommendation from my psychiatrist and surgeon. It has been the hardest thing I have ever done, and all those people that say surgery is cheating are fuckwits. I had mine done over a month ago now. Check out my blog and please ask me any questions!! xx

Hate.
Things that I hate right now….
- I hate that water retention is making me gain weight
- I hate that I exercise and don’t see any progress
- I hate that I may not be able to get surgery in August because I have no money
- I hate that my mom is making such good progress and I’m not
- I hate that my mom is getting surgery before I am
- I hate being fat!
I hate it when skinny people say they are fat and...
Keeping up the good work!
I took a break from exercising for a few days. Not a good idea. I need to work out everyday and make it a habit! So I started again today and will push myself everyday to do it! Our nutritionist says you need to work out 4-5 days a week 30 minutes each time to maintain your weight and 7 days a week 30 minutes each time to lose weight. So I need to keep that in mind so I can lose weight at my...

Today I played Just Dance 2 (Played 3 songs) and earned about 800 sweat points. One of the songs on there.. (Tina Turner-Proud Mary) is a GREAT workout!! I love it and that will be one song that I will dance to everyday to get my butt into shape and lose...
Lovin' the Wii
Today I played Just Dance 2. Me and my mom danced to 3 songs and we were sweating like crazy!!! This game is amazing for anyone who wants to exercise and not feel like they are exercising!! I also played tennis and boxing.. and walked on the game Walk it Out for 0.9 miles. I may walk more later. Not sure yet.
On my way to healthy and skinny
Hello! My name is Crystal and I’m 24 years old. I live in Las Vegas and have my whole life. I’m fat! Yes, very fat!! :] I’m on a journey to lose weight and keep it off for good! I weight a grand total of 384 pounds. That’s a lot of me! I’m 5’8 (pretty tall).. so I don’t think I appear to weight that much. Thank God! I have an amazing fiance who...
