Mi nombre es Jessica, casada con Juan Antonio, ambos peruanos de nacimiento, no tenemos hijos, tratamos durante un tiempo pero los doctores nos dijeron que no podíamos, y luego de mucho pensar, decidimos que seriamos dos y si Dios no nos daba hijos, nos dio maravillosos sobrinos y ahijados que con creces supieron darnos ese cariño que ne
Mi nombre es Jessica, casada con Juan Antonio, ambos peruanos de nacimiento, no tenemos hijos, tratamos durante un tiempo pero los doctores nos dijeron que no podíamos, y luego de mucho pensar, decidimos que seriamos dos y si Dios no nos daba hijos, nos dio maravillosos sobrinos y ahijados que con creces supieron darnos ese cariño que necesitábamos, con la ventaja que al acabar el día se iban a su casa, jaja.
Soy la segunda de tres hermanos, Armando que es el mayor y Gisella que es la menor y mi mejor amiga, gracias a Dios tenemos una muy buena relación entre los tres y nos queremos mucho.
Juan Antonio, tiene 60 primaveras, es mi negrito, mi esposito, mi compañero de vida, mi amor, mi chancho, ya tenemos 18 años juntos y nos dedicamos a comer y comer y comer y a pensar que el lunes que venía comenzábamos la dieta….
La última vez que me pese en Mayo del 2018, mi balanza marco 289 libras (131 kilos), “opte por lo más sano”, esconder la balanza y no mirarla más, y seguir comiendo con mi esposito, hacía dos años cuando la menopausia llego a mi vida para quedarse. Me di cuenta que no bajaba de peso (no hacía mucho esfuerzo tampoco) había una que otra semana que me ponía seria con la dieta y no pasaba nada, entonces llegue a la conclusión que ya no iba a hacer mas dietas, llevaba casi toda mi vida haciéndolas así que decidí que sería una gordita feliz, no tenia presión alta, no tenia diabetes, no tenia colesterol alto, me consideraba una gordita saludable.
Pero como diría una canción “todo tiene su final, nada dura para siempre”, llego a mi vida el dolor más espantoso que tuve, un 24 de Junio del 2018 y con aproximadamente 298 libras a cuestas (casi 136 kilos) comenzaron los dolores de la pancreatitis que no sé ni cómo describirlos solo puedo decir que estoy aterrada de volverlo a sentir, no se lo deseo a nadie, fue tanto el dolor que a pesar de ya pronto cumplir un año, sigo vigilando mis comidas y viendo que me cae bien y que no.
Durante el tiempo que estuve internada baje 23 libras (10 kilos) aproximadamente, eso me hizo pensar que a lo mejor la menopausia no estaba tan mala después de todo y decidí seguir, y sobre todo, necesitaba seguir, vi que cosas podía comer una persona que había tenido pancreatitis aguda y le habían sacado la vesícula (Colecistectomía Laparoscópica), la variedad de comida no fue muy alentadora para una persona que se había acostumbrado a comer TODO y si era con mayonesa, mejor aun. Esto ya ahora no era una cuestión de estética, era una cuestión de salud, la ver
dad aun no me encontraba preparada para provocarme otra enfermedad mas, así que comencé a leer en internet y buscar otro tipo de opciones de comidas.
My name is Jessica and I am married to Juan Antonio, both Peruvians by birth, we have no children, we tried for some time but after the doctors told us we could not, and much thinking, we decided that it would be just the two of us and if God did not give us children, it gave us wonderful nieces and nephews and godchildren who knew how to give us the love we needed, with the advantage that at the end of the day they went home, haha.
I am the second of three siblings, Armando who is the oldest and Gisella who is the youngest and my best friend, thank God the three of us have a very good relationship and we love each other very much.
Juan Antonio, who has celebrated 60 springs, is my little boy, my husband, my life partner, my love, my pig. We already have 18 years together and we devote ourselves to eating and eating and eating and thinking that on Monday we will start the diet ... .
The last time I weighed myself was in May 2018, my scale said 289 lbs (131 kilos) so I chose for the healthiest approach; hide the scale and not look over, and continue eating with my hubby. Two years earlier, when menopause came into my life to stay, I realized that since I was not losing weight (I did not put too much effort either) there were some weeks that I decided to seriously start a diet and nothing… the scale remained the same, so I decided no more diets for me, I spent most of my life doing diets, so I decided that I will be a happy gordita, I did not have high blood pressure, I did not have diabetes, I did not have high cholesterol, so I considered myself a healthy overweight gordita.
But as a song would say “everything has its end, nothing lasts forever,” the most horrible pain I had, came to my life, on June 24, 2018 when I weighed approximately 298 pounds (almost 136 kilos) and the pancreatitis pain begun. I do not even know how to describe it, I can only say that I am terrified of feeling it again, I do not wish it to anyone, I was in so much pain that despite it being already a year ago now, I stay vigilant of my meals and decide what’s good for me or not.
While I was hospitalized I lost about 23 lbs (10 kilos), and it made me think that maybe menopause was not so bad after all and decided to follow, and above all, needed to follow through with this change. I began researching everything affecting a person who had had acute pancreatitis and the gallbladder removed (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy). The variety of foods was not very encouraging for a person who was used to eat EVERYTHING and if it was with mayonnaise, better yet. Now it was not a matter of beauty, it was a health issue, the truth is that I was not yet prepared to cause myself another disease, so I started researching on the internet and find other meal options.

Algo que la vida me ha enseñado en este tiempo es a sacar lo bueno de lo malo, gracias a la pancreatitis y la extirpación de la vesícula pude hacer el cambio radical que tanto venia deseando, si bien había decidido a los 48 años no hacer mas dietas, había una pequeña parte de mi que tenía esa ropa guardada en el closet que algún día me q
Algo que la vida me ha enseñado en este tiempo es a sacar lo bueno de lo malo, gracias a la pancreatitis y la extirpación de la vesícula pude hacer el cambio radical que tanto venia deseando, si bien había decidido a los 48 años no hacer mas dietas, había una pequeña parte de mi que tenía esa ropa guardada en el closet que algún día me quedo y que soñaba volvérmela a poner, arrinconada que llamaba la “para cuando”, y que ya tenía mucho polvo.
El apoyo de mi esposo fue muy importante. Durante dos semanas no podía acercarme a la cocina ni preparar nada y él me enseño que podíamos hacerlo juntos, que podíamos buscarle la parte buena a la comida, y que no se limitaba a comida insípida, juntos comenzamos a buscar recetas, posibles combinaciones de los platos que preparábamos antes y sin aceites o condimentos que nos estaban haciendo tanto daño.
Cuando comienzo este camino, que no podría decirle dieta sino cambio de alimentación, yo tenía 54 libras (24.5 kilos) más que mi esposo, ahora tengo 23 libras (10 kilos) menos que él, que come lo mismo que yo y un poco más porque algunas veces se queda con hambre, pero ha quedado que el “lunes” comienza si o si.
Si tu estas en la misma posición que yo me encontraba en ese momento, recién operada y necesitando un cambio de alimentación a gritos, llegaste al lugar adecuado, yo sé por lo que estas pasando, hay luz al final del túnel, no todo es negro, vas a ver que si sigues y eres constante vas a lograr llegar a tu meta, sobretodo, por ti mismo, misma, sin necesidad de pastillas o inyecciones. No estás solo, sola en este camino, cuentas con mi apoyo.
No subiste de peso en un día, tomo varios, no pretendas bajar de peso en un día.
Pd: este blog está basado en mi experiencia personal, no soy Nutricionista, no pretendo decir que se puede o no hacer o comer, solo me limito a compartir mi experiencia que va dando resultados y que estoy convencida que si me sigues, podrás hacer ese cambio en tu vida que tanto anhelas.
Te invito a formar parte de mi vida, y si puedes, comencemos el lunes!
Something that life has taught me at this point is to take the good out of the bad, thanks to the pancreatitis and gallbladder removal I was able to make the radical change that I had been wanting so much, although I had decided at the age of 48 not to do any more diets, there was a small part of me that had kept clothes in the corner of the, I closet that one day had fit me and I dreamt I would be able to wear again. I had named them “when” and they had already collected lot of dust
My husbands’ support was very important while I was recovering, for two weeks I could not get close to the kitchen or prepare anything and he showed me that we could do it together, that we could look for the good part of the food, and that it was not limited to tasteless food, together we started to look for recipes, possible combinations of the dishes that we prepared before and without using oils or condiments that were harming us so much.
When I started this new path, this change of diet, I was 54 pounds (24.5 kilos) heavier than my husband and now I am 23 lbs (10 kilos) lighter than him, he eats the same as me and a little bit more because sometimes he is hungry, but as he said to me he will start on "Monday".
If you are in the same position I was at that moment, recovering from recently having had a procedure and in need of a change in the way you eat, you came to the right place, I know what you are going through, there is light at the end of the tunnel, not everything is dark, you will see that if you follow me and you are constant you will reach your goal, above all, by yourself, without the need of pills or shots, you are not alone, in this path you have my support.
You did not gain weight in one day, it took several days to do so; do not intend to lose weight in a day.
PS: this blog is based on my personal experience, I am not a Nutritionist, and I do not intend to tell you what you can or cannot do or eat, I just share my experiences that are giving positive results and I am convinced that if you follow me, you can make that change in your life that you’ve longed for so long.
I invite you to be part of my live, and if you can, let's start on Monday!
