Medical update
I'm finally feeling a bit better, and no longer in incredible pain. I still have an ache, but I have an appointment with the surgeon this week. Hopefully there's nothing serious, but I will keep you all updated

Today's weigh in: 182Lbs
I'm happy to say that I'm down two pounds from the last entry of Thinspiration Sunday's Blog hop. It's been a real struggle to get enough protein, and to actually remember to eat. I've been eating regularly, and TRYING hard to get more protein. I'm actually not feeling good right now... dumping syndrome. I had a piece of tilapia fish, and I believe it was just a little too big, and the cajun spicies bothering me. I might have gallstones, as it's common after weight loss surgery. I've been getting some pain and discomfort, long before actual dumping syndrome started. It comes and goes, but now I'm going to jot down what I ate, to try and see what affects me.
Anyway, back to the thinspirational portion of this post... here's some fun pics to set the mood for the week. Have a great week everyone, and stay strong. I will update you on my health status throughout the week.
inlinks.com doesn't seem to be working at the moment... add your website info and link via comment! I will add linky once it's up and running again.

I feel like shit
I've been awake for a few hours now, and right now I'm in agony. The pain that I had a while ago is back, and I'm debating calling my mom to take me to the hospital. Is it dumping syndrome? I don't know. I had tilapia last night, and that doesn't normally bother me. However, we did go to Red Lobster, and maybe all together it was just too much for my body. I can feel and hear my stomach talking, and I pray that it's just dumping syndrome, and it passes soon.
I'm paranoid as to what I should eat now. If you're going to have gastric bypass surgery, expect to never eat out again. Even the healthy choices of food can still be too much fat. I don't regret the surgery one bit, but I pray that this pain goes away soon. I will update you all later as to how I'm feeling.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary Gastric Bypass!
Deciding to have the surgery, was the best decision I've ever made, and was quite a hard one. I had applied for it, went for the classes and did all the testing. I sailed through everything and was fine, until the morning of the surgery. The surgery was at 7:30am, and I was a major wreck. I was so scared and nervous, I almost ran away from it all! Thank God I didn't, because I'd probably be over 400Lbs by now without it.
The surgery is just a tool to help you with your weight loss, it still doesn't change your thoughts and cravings that you may have. I still struggle on a regular basis with certain foods, but because of the size of my stomach, at least I can't eat more than 6oz at a time. Since the surgery I have now become lactose intolerant, my blood sugar at times gets too low if I forget to eat, and I think my gallbladder may have to be removed some time down the road... it's common to get gallstones after the surgery, and most people end up removing their gallbladder. No matter the problems that I've faced so far... I wouldn't change a thing. It was the best decision I ever made, and I'd do it all over and make the same decision.
Starting weight... over 300Lbs
Current weight... 185Lbs
Next goal ... 150Lbs
Final goal... 130Lbs
Clothing size I used to wear... 28 for tops and pants, or 4X.
Current clothing size... 14 or an XL.
Bra size prior... 48DD
Current bra size... 36D
I was on hypertension pills... two to be exact, and I'm now off them. My PCOS is under control, and I no longer hemorrhage during my periods, and I'm actually regular now.
So happy 1 Year Anniversary to me!

Can't sleep
I can't believe I'm still awake at this hour. My fiance and I watched a movie online, and then after I started feeling sick. I don't know if it was the rainbow trout that I made for dinner... I haven't tried it since I've had gastric bypass surgery, but I don't think I will try it again... seems to have caused dumping syndrome. I also feel like I could have a panic attack... just not feeling right. It's probably been all the extra stress that I've had to deal with the past week, with having to basically clear my apartment for the pest control company to come spray. Damn bed bugs are in the building, and it's been a real headache and nightmare to prep for the fumigation. It makes me paranoid, and I've been doing so much cleaning and laundry. Everything has been boxed in plastic containers, it looks like I'm moving!
With the craziness in my apartment right now, I haven't been able to weigh myself. Yes, I cleaned and packed my scale away. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, as I have a bad habit of stepping on it daily.
Well, I think I should try and catch a little Zzz's, as I have three more garbage bags of laundry to do in the morning. Good night all.

Pretty Girl: Unveil your beauty ~ Lip gloss 4pack giveaway!
I'm a woman who likes to feel feminine and pretty, even though I'm not much for wearing dresses. I like to go to the salon and get my hair done, as well as a manicure. I like anything that sparkles, and testing out all kinds of make-up. I recently came across a company called Pretty Girl, which is a website that offers make-up, as well as beauty products for every girl to feel pretty. I don't remember originally how I came across the website, but it was their cute logo that caught my eye.
Pretty Girl is all about fun. It celebrates everything that is fabulous about being a girl! I have worked hand in hand with industry experts to produce the highest quality product available, combining vitamins, minerals, and essential oils.
I have tested many beauty products, and I must say that so far from what I've tried of the Pretty Girl, I have fallen in love. Pretty Girl offers bath and beauty products that would appeal to woman of all ages. I was sent one of their lip glosses in the shade of "Love of My Life", which is truly the best lip gloss that I own. It's thick in nature, that you don't have to reapply it like others. It actually stays on your lips after eating, drinking, and after a mini make out session. It actually left my lips feeling moisturized, whereas many other glosses left them feeling chapped.
For both products, they came packaged in a clear pink plastic bag, that was sealed with a sticker logo label. Super cute and feminine, and well packaged for shipping. Both individual products, their packaging was well designed. Both were well sealed, and leak proof. Cute packaging, yet minimal, and fully recyclable.
Thanks to Pretty Girl one lucky reader will get a chance to win a four pack of lip glosses. To qualify you must be a resident of Canada or the USA.

NailPolishCanada.com: Butter London... Non-toxic Nail Polish!
I have always been a little obsessed when it comes to my nails. With my anxiety, I seem to have a problem with biting them at times, and picking at the cuticles. Even with that problem, I still like wearing nail polish, and the more feminine it is, the better. I love all shades of pink, but have been shy to wear anything bright in the past, due to my poor nail condition. I've tried a couple brands from NailPolishCanada.com in the past, and recently tried a newer brand that they're carrying: Butter London.
Butter London has combined the safety and importance of 3-Free (non-toxic) nail polish, which means it contains no toluene, DBP or added formaldehyde. They have worked to create colors and styles for the runway with fashion designers including Alexander Wang, Victoria Beckham, Betsey Johnson, Calvin Klein, Rachel Zoe, and many more.
I was sent two colors from Butter London for review: Disco Biscuit, and Trout Pout.
With the 80's coming back, the bright color of the Disco Biscuit is the perfect color for many occasions. From the original picture, you can't tell, but the actual nail polish has a bit of a glitter to it. In the light, it has specks of purple-like glitter, which makes it look super pretty in the light. This shade is perfect for a night on the town, or for the more daring that like bold colors for daily wear.The Trout Pout is a light pink the color of trout or salmon. A pretty light pink shade, that is slightly bright in nature. This is perfect for spring and the summer season ahead, and would look super hot with tanned skin.
Both shades are equally feminine, and require a few layers to look it's best. I ended up putting three layers on my nails, for the best look. With the three layers, it is quite strong in nature, and didn't chip at all. I found that after two days, however, the tips of some of my nails wore away a bit. I'm very hard on my nails, and this happens with every polish I wear. I've learned in the past that with a top coat, it will last twice as long. Knowing that this product is non-toxic, makes this product well worth it.
