2 long years
on May 9, 2011 8:14 pm
Wow!  Has it been that long since I have been on OH?  Not much has happened in my life, other than the ugly "G" word...Gained.  I only have myself to blame for this.  No one has forced me to creep back into bad habits.  I take full responsibility.  I am scheduled for a EGD with Sclelatheraphy on Friday.  I hope that this, with my renewed vow to get back on track, help me loose the 60 lbs I have gained.  I am so blessed to have such a supportive hubby in this.  He knows that my gain has really gotten me down...and that I feel like a looser( and not in the good looser way)  Keep ya posted

I can't believe that I have not posted for over 1 1/2 yr.  Needless to say, I have been terrible at being on OH.  Jeannie Armstrong....I AM SOOO SORRY  PLZ FORGIVE ME!!!!!!

I am comming up on my 5 yr anniverary and I am sorry to say that I have gained about 25-30 lb in the past yr and a half.  I know what I have done to gain, and I am getting back on track with my self and my tummy.  WLS isn't easy!!!  They may have shrunk my tummy but not my head, and the thoughts of " one more bite won't hurt me" so soooo wrong!!

Funny Moment
on February 10, 2008 5:15 pm
I about feel out Friday at work.  I was showing the girls a photo that I have of Wyatt on line and one of the doctors that I work with cime up behind me.  I asked him, Do you want to see something adoreable?  He said yes.  I showed him the pic of Wyatt, and he asked me if Wyatt had an eye deformity....Wyatt was WINKING at the camera.  The girls and I busted out laughing, and the doctor turned redder than a beet!!!  I guss he has never been around toddlers!

The pic he was looking at is in my photos section.

Super Bowl Sunday
on February 3, 2008 12:55 pm
Ok, so I am not a big football fan, or sports fan for that matter,but I do endure it for my DH( he is a sports nut)  Once again, he has invited a bunch of guys over for the SuperBowl and expects me to feed all these men.  So in love and war, I have agreed, HOWEVER, I am providing WLS friendly foods so I can enjoy it as well.LOL (never underestimate a WLS pt)  I am having a few goodies for they guys, hashbrown casserole,M&M's, chips, crackers(non-wheat) but I have also made an AWESOME Tuna Ball ( did I mention that it is AWESOME?) homemade meatballs, cocktail weenies, ham and asparagus rolls...YUM-O!!  I can't wait to eat!

Why do we do Dumb ass things?
on September 19, 2007 7:00 pm
Tonight I made breakfast for dinner.  It smelled wonderful cooking.  Scrambled eggs, thick bacon, grits, cheese biscuits....yum-o!  I gave myself a teaspoon of eggs, teaspoon of grits, 2 slices of bacon and 1/2 a biscuit.  I did it right, protien first, chewed everything to a pulp, waited between bites, took about 45 minutes to eat.  10 minutes later, I barfed it all up.  I know beeter than to eat eggs!!!!!!  I love eggs, but my body no longer loves them!  Why does my mind have such a hard time remembering this??  My kids ate everything with gusto, and mom was in the john, getting rid of everything with gusto.!!!

My Story

Well, where do I begin?  I guess at the beginning, huh?  I was born here in Georgia, in Marietta.  Thru the years, I have been up and down on the scales.  The heaviest I have been is at 410 when I was pregnant with my last child.  I started looking into WLS in 2003 and decided that it was the option for me.  I was to have surg in 04, but I had the suprize of being pregnat.  I stared everything back up in Jan 05, and had my surg in Oct 05.  It has been one of the best things I could have ever done for myself and my family.  I no longer have all of the weight related health problems that I did, and I have lost 152 lbs to date.  I would love to loose down to 180, however if I didn't loose anything else I am totally satisfied with my loss.
