I did it!!!!
4 days ago

I am now officially 101 pounds down. I am so excited! I thought 7 months ago this would never happen. I have wished for 20 years that I could lose 100 pounds. I am so blessed!

I love my OH family and I am so grateful to God for allowing me to have this surgery and saving my life!

Huge hugs!

Onederland!
on December 21, 2008 4:56 am

I did it!!! I set my goal for Christmas to make it to Onederland. Then just yesterday, I got on the scales and it said 198! I have had a hard time getting my head to believe it. It seems as though after nearly 7 months the numbers on the scales just change and I have come to expect that they will. I don't see the thinner me the way everyone else does. I see it in my face and can tell it in my clothes but, it's just weird for me that I can't really SEE it for myself. I try taking pictures and then I notice small things but ... to really SEE a thinner me... I just don't. I am not letting it get to me though. Others have told me it takes time to get your head to adjust to the new you. I am just going with it and hopefully one day I will realize it for myself.

My family and friends keep telling me to stop wearing big clothes. I have worn these sizes for 21 years so its hard to get past that as well. One of my friends that had the surgery is becoming the drop off point for me. By this I mean, I give my clothes to her when they start feeling too big or lose. She is just a couple sizes bigger than me for now and can use them. It makes me happy to have someone close by that I can share them with.

I am truly blessed by this surgery and have nothing but great things to say about it. Even more valuable than the surgery is the friends that I have made on OH. I am blessed everyday in one way or another by the people on this site. God shows me a lesson and a blessing in so many of the friends I have here.

I think my Christmas gift this year from God was to find ObesityHelp.com!

Huge hugs,
Tracy

What's new with me.
on November 16, 2008 3:57 am

I am steadily working on my weight loss. I knew it would slow down and I am ok with that. As long as it keeps coming off. I have at least 50 more pounds to lose.

I am finally getting to meet some of the people on the OH Indiana board. I am excited about that. I have made some awesome new friends. I have been so lucky to have them in my life. They have helped me in so many ways.

I am going through a rough spot financially right now. My job was eliminated on Nov. 7th. We got no warning. Just a call in the office after lunch and pack your things... see ya. So, it has taken a toll on me. I am having problems sleeping and eating. I hope to get it all under control soon. I have to say God is providing for me. He shows his love in many ways everyday.

My son-in-law should be home from Iraq at the end of the month. I look forward to that. They are in the process of buying a new home. I am very excited for them.

My next post will be to let everyone know I am in ONEderland. I am knocking on the door now, but haven't got my golden ticket just yet.

Happy Holidays to all...
May God bless each of you.
Tracy

Life is good!
on September 7, 2008 10:22 am

I am so pleased that the day of my surgery I made myself a promise and it has already come true. I live for NFL football and mostly my COLTS. I told the surgery team that I couldn't wait to go to Lucas Oil Stadium and fit in the seats without squeezing into them. Guess What??? On August 28th, my 3 month surgery anniversary, I went to Lucas Oil and watched the COLTS and I FIT IN THE SEAT..... EASILY!!! I also parked over 9 blocks away and walked all the way to the stadium, up to the top, and I wasn't out of breath or dieing when I got there.

LIFE Is GOOD!

Thank you Dr. Gupta!!!!!!

I survived July!
on August 2, 2008 5:19 am

My month of July was a trip. My oldest daughter got married. It was beautiful and the reception was a blast. I set my goal to lose 50 pounds by the wedding and I actually lost the 50th pound by Wednesday after the wedding. I will celebrate it tonight by going to see Toby Keith!

I had a number of wow moments and I am realizing how blessed I am to have been able to have this surgery and get my life back.

I am honored to be among those of you who have made this journey and are doing it the right way. You inspire me everyday!
