I'm back you guys! Anyone miss me!? Sorry for the MIA I've had A LOT going on the past few months! But don't worry, I'm doing better and I'm back with a vengeance!

[kacy77]

<3 thank you so much seriously all the kind comments are REALLY appreciated! And don't ever forget how beautiful you are too!!! 

Ugly my ass anon 😂😂😂 I’m fuckin beautiful and you can’t take that away from me.

Sometimes I really hate that girl on the left. Sometimes I wish she never existed. But sometimes I really hate the girl on the right too. For not realizing the potential I had. For letting myself get that bad. For thinking that there was no point in trying to make my life better because, at the time, I thought I was too far gone. Sometimes I'm sad that I missed out on so much because of my size. Sometimes I wonder what my life could've been like if I did something about my health sooner. Where would I be right now? Who would my friends be? What would my relationships be like? Sometimes the reality that I lived my adult life morbidly obese eats me alive... But that's just sometimes....Most of the time, the girl on the right is proud of the girl on the left. She didn't let her obesity define her. She didn't let it limit her. She cared enough about herself to do WHATEVER it took to get her life back.... Sometimes, I really want to forget what damage I did to my beautiful body. But most of the time, I'm grateful for it because it made me who I am now. Even at a healthy weight, I truly believe that I will ALWAYS be battling obesity, but I will never give up. I refuse to quit fighting. I fight for the girl I am now, but especially for the girl I use to be.... #wls #wlscommunity #wlsstrong #wlsinstacrew #wlssupport #weight #weightloss #weightlossjourney #rny #gastricbypass #beforeandafter #beforeandafterweightloss #beforeandduring #fitness #healthy #happy

I posted it you guys! Sorry it took all day!!! <3 <3 <3

Hey there Kacy! I just wanted to say that your transformation is amazing and you inspire me so much! I'm thinking about doing bariatric surgery myself as well. I was wondering if you could make a video or just a post here on tumblr talking about how people treat you before vs. after surgery? That's always something I've wondered about: if people tend to treat you better/are nicer after you loose weight and I'd love to hear your experiences. Thanks!

Ooooooo! This would be a really fun video to make! 😄

I love video ideas!

Just let me shower and get ready and I would love to make one! Thank you so much for your support, it really means the world to me!

i love him.

Hey everyone, I started listing some of my plus size clothes for sale that no longer fit! I take excellent care of my clothes so everything is in really good condition! I have lots more to add to the list but I would really like to get some of this stuff off of my hands. I need the money to help me move to Colorado in the summer and to get new clothes since I literally have none from my drastic weight loss! Sizes range from 18-22! I try to make the prices reasonable, its just hard to off set the shipping, but feedback is really appreciated.

Yessssss that would be so much fun! Just let me know when your ready cuz recovery can take a bit. Don't push yourself :) we could meet up at a park or something and go for a walk!

We should meet up sometime soon!!! I know things are crazy for you right now, I completely know what your going through. But it would be really awesome to meet someone else who knows what we are going through!

Yes! Maybe during November once I’m post op. Maybe we can get @lindseysvsgjourney out of the house too! 😀

Really, based off a “fat opinion” (which is totally mature btw)? In the black, competitive swimmer, dancer, gymnast, and hockey player. 5′6, 160 pounds, puts me in the overweight category. Did i look unhealthy to you? No. 

5′9, 175 pounds. considered overweight by the BMI scale. runs a marathon or triathlon every 3-6 months. works out 5 days a week. Look unhealthy to you? No

(white hat in the middle) 

FACT, BMI does not take into account muscle mass and body frame. Yes I am fat now. Wanna know why? Sure you don't, but ill tell you anyway. I moved across the country and lived on a farm where there were none of my sports and hobbies then watched my mom (as a single parent) battle cancer. So I sat at home depressed, taking care of my mother, and used food the wrong way to cope with stress. I developed severe allergies that made me allergic to ALL raw fruits and vegetables (its called Oral Allergy Syndrome). I am also polycystic which causes obesity in 2/3 of women who have it (PCOS). So if you really would like to think that Im so fat that I can't be healthy, news flash, I'm in the gym 5 days a week busting my ass with an EXTREMELY restricted diet.  

oh look me, at my highest weight! In the gym?! SO crazy! Cuz us fat people NEVER work out! 

oh help us all! My fitbit must be lying cuz all fat people can't climb 45 flights of steps and go 8.7 miles! I must be SOOOOOOOOOOOOO unhealthy being fat! 

So before you judge saying Im speaking from opinion. Get you “fat” facts straight. 

Hahahahahahahaha!

Omg! It just gets better!!!

So I just saw a post saying “69% of Americans are overweight or obese. Your not an oppressed minority”

Your right I’m not oppressed minority but you are an idiot.

Your 69% that are OVERWEIGHT and obese is probably based off of the BMI scale (no study was given so who knows where they pulled that out of). Did you know that my doctor said that a healthy weight for me is from 130-160? Did you know that 150-160 I’m considered “overweight”. Do you know how many people actually fall into the “overweight” category according to the BMI scale? A LOT. EVEN PERFECTLY HEALTHY PEOPLE! Tumblr statistics are not facts. They are not given by professionals. You are not a medical professional. And quite honestly you look dumb spreading statistics that have no backbone. And if they are “true” your not taking into account ALL of the truth. You can be in the “overweight” category and be healthy. For a blog that advocates health, you do a pretty good job at shaming. Your not helping anyone.

Heres my first post op video!!! I really rambled but thats cuz Im all over the place. Also I show my belly. So yeah! Three days on the other side! Im pretty happy <3

It's official!!!

David comes in less than 2 weeks! So ready to spend a longer trip with him. We already have lots of plans together (none of them include food which is a good and bad thing)! I'm so excited. I miss his face. We haven't been able to talk much lately. Both of us have been so busy. We both work two jobs and go to school. We have also been working out a lot (yup we strive to be a fitness couple :)). So yeah but we talked yesterday morning and that was fun. He's still the sweetest. Can't believe it's been over 2 years with this amazing man. All long distance. Can't wait to wake up to him <3

[kacy77]

27 Days!!!

David is going to be here in 27 days! Im so ready to see him. The past 6 months without him have been really tough! It really never gets easier not having him here. Im super excited to show him the weight Ive lost since Ive seen him last. 

AND this is going to be one of our longer trips. Normally we see each other for about 4 days but this time around he will be here for 11 days! I really just want to be lazy and lay in bed with him all day and do nothing but watch Harry Potter. 

I love him so much! 

[kacy77]

I just got the GREATEST surprise EVER!!!!

So, the process for getting a surgery date in my program is once you get approval you meet with your surgeon and he gives you the date of your surgery.

HOWEVER!!

since my surgeon is retiring and my insurance catastrophic cap starts over on October 1st I don't have to have an appointment with him to get my date :D

AND EVEN BETTER

I GOT MY DATE!!!!

MY LIFE CHANGES FOREVER ON SEPTEMBER 29TH 2015 AT 7AM!

[kacy77]

Thats a great idea! I never thought of that. I thought I just had to pick a number or my doctor would just tell me where I need to be and focus on that. 

I know I ask a ton of questions but.....

is 135 too high of a goal? Some days Im like YAH I WILL GET THERE!!! And other days I’m like maybe I shouldn’t get my hope up and just shoot for 145. My doctor gave me a range between 135-145. I was 132 in High School 8 years ago. Im still the same height I was then. I just don’t know if I’m setting myself up for failure by setting the bar TOO high or if I’m lowering them just trying to get to the bare minimum of my range. I know I shouldn’t get to 145 and feel like I failed for not getting to 135 because I will have lost close to 140 pounds. But still its hard. What do you guys think? How did other people set their weight loss goals?

Closing the Distance?

So Ive been looking at colleges in Colorado! And I think that by this time next year I might be closing the distance with David. 

The past two years have been rough but I can't imagine my life with anyone else. 

David and I won't be living together but I will be living in my own dorm only 15 minutes away from his house. This is really the only way I can afford to live near David (even though its with study loans). The college has an incredible Biology program and its a beautiful campus with practically new dorms. Its safe and clean. I honestly don't want to live with David, at least not right away. 

I know its going to be an adjustment leaving my mom (she's a single parent and my best friend) so I don't want the stress of that to be taken out on my relationship. I think it will be healthier for David and I to live in the same city first before living in the same house.

Plus, we are both Catholic (not like devoted Catholics or anything) but I think in a weird subconscious way we want to save living together for our marriage (which I hope will be happening soon Ive had wedding fever for awhile now)

So yeah! thats my latest update. So excited for the future. Thankful that a true plan is falling into place after two years <3 I love my man and I'm so thankful to be on this journey with him <3
