I HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 53 LBS. I AM DOWN BY TWO PANTS SIZE. I CRIED WHEN I STEPED ON THE SCALE AND IT SAID 199LBS. IT HAS BEEN 9 YEARS SINCE I SAW THAT NUMBER. I THANK GOD FOR EACH AND EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE. IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER FROM HERE.
I WILL LIKE TO THANK ALL OF MY OH FRIENDS FOR THEIR SUPPORT.... KEEP ME IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!!!!!

IT HAS BEEN 21/2 WEEKS SINCE I HAVE HAD SURGERY.

I AM LEARNING HOW TO LIVE WITH THIS NEW STOMACH. I HAVE HAD A HARD TIME EATING AND DRINKING, MOST OF THE FOOD, DO NOT AGREE WITH ME, AND WATER HURTS MY STOMACH. I HAVE LOST 31LBS. I AM NOW STARTING TO EAT FOODS THAT AGREE WITH ME. SO I KNOW  THAT MY WEIGHT LOST WILL DIE DOWN SOME. I STILL CAN'T EAT BUT A VERY LITTLE AT A TIME. IT IS SO HARD TO GET MY PROTEIN AND WATER IN EVERYDAY. I TRY TO DRINK PROTEIN DRINKS SO THAT IT  CAN COUNT FOR MY LIQUIDS AND MY PROTEIN. I AM STARTING TO DO MUCH BETTER. PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS....................

LOVE,

CHRISTY 

ALL IS WELL, THANK GOD.

I HAD SURGERY ON AUGUST 5, 2008. GOD BROUGHT ME THRU IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. I AM AT HOME NOW TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE WITH THIS NEW STOMACH. IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER.

I AM SO GLAD I DECIDED TO DO THIS, I HAVE NO REGRETS. THE ONLY THING COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER WAS MY HOSPITAL STAY, IT WAS O.K BUT NOT GREAT. I HAD TO KEEP REMINDING THE NURSE THAT I WAS A BY-PASS PATIENT THEY KEEP ASKING ME FOR FOOD OR SOMETHING TO DRINK. WHEN I COULD NOT HAVE NEITHER ONE.  THEY FINALLY ON THE SECOND DAY THEY GOT IT RIGHT. BECAUSE I WAS UP AND ALERT AND I GAVE THEM HELL............ THEY WAS GLAD TO SEE ME GO............

LOVE,

CHRISTY

TOMORROW IS MY NEW BIRHTDAY. I AM HOPING TO JOIN EVERYONE ONE THE SMALLER SIDE OF LIFE. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND KEEP ME IN YOUR THOUGHTS.....................

TALK TO YOU SOON...............

LOVE,

CHRISTY
