LaTonga's Weight Loss Journey

Ok folks, I am almost 5 years post op (July 13) I will officially be 5 years! Well, yesterday I went walking, and later on came home and ate my dinner. I started feeling strange in my stomach area. The pain was different: not the usual pain that I have experienced. However, I went to the doctor this morning to see what is going on. The doctor suggested that I monitor the pain over the weekend and follow up with him on Tuesday. Hopefully, I will make it through the weekend. I was thinking: I have come a long way with out any issues and that is how I want my journey to remain. Please keep me lifted in your prayers because this pain is no joke. Good night!

YIKES!!! Almost 41... This morning as I was getting ready for the day, I was thinking to myself "What am I going to do for my birthday?" Do I need any thing? What is it that I want? Generally I would treat myself to a day of pampering: hair, nails, brows, going out to lunch or dinner at my favorite restaurant. These things I generally do on a regular basis anyway! So I will just enjoy my day! No pampering: just a little bit of rest.

Why is it when one has had weight loss  surgery. Others who have NOT had weight loss surgery ask the most craziest questions? For example, I see you are keeping that weight down. I am thinking to my self. What! Do you expect me to fail? Do you expect me to regain all of it? I thought about where I came from, and how much I still want to do. My motto: keep Pushing and pressing forward!
