Onederland is Wonderful!!!! on January 29, 2008 10:25 am
I didn't think it would ever happen but praise Jesus...I have finally arrived! It is hard to believe all of the changes that have happened in the past 6 months. Granted, I have lost weight but that is only part of it. I have made so many new friends and have had the opportunity to help newbies like Sheila and Susan helped me. It is just so wonderful to get to be a part of this group. I love my life and I hope that I can be an instrument to help others love their RNY. Sometimes it just seems too good to be true. Love that!

Happy October! on October 16, 2007 12:50 pm
Okay...so it has been a while. Where does the time go? I'm happy to say that I am still doing fantastic! I'm not quite as perky as I was earlier but I think we can attribute that to lack of sleep (active teenage daughter!) I have really enjoyed learning to cook for my new pouch. My mouth still likes the same flavors but I've had to learn to modify a bit. Sugar just kills me as does grease. Oh well...that was kinda the point of having my insides rearranged...right?
I got an email from Chana today. She, too, is doing great! She loves working out (bless her heart) and has also had to make some modifications to her diet. All in all...we are fabulous!
Hopefully I will remember to write again before too long but if not...November will be here before we know it! Yippie

Six Weeks Check Up on September 26, 2007 3:00 pm
Tomorrow I go back to see Dr. Spaw for my six weeks check up. I am so excited and anxious to see how I'm doing. I have had so many things going on in my life...the weight loss surgery is by far the least of my worries. Someday when I am not so emotional, I'll write about it. For right now I just hope to survive with my sanity! I really wanted to participate in the walk this Saturday but it just isn't going to be possible. Maybe next year.
A friend of mine who has had weight loss surgery stopped by to see me yesterday. She is having some real health issues but she doesn't keep in touch with her surgeon and she doesn't follow the "rules" concerning protein and vitamins. Naughty girlie! All kidding aside...she looks wonderful but says that she feels just awful. This was a big wake up call for me to ensure that I get all of my protein every day...and vitamins...and water! I hope that she will be okay. She is a wonderful person and I hate to think of the suffering that she must have gone through.
Well, I will post again tomorrow if time permits. Hopefully life will settle down soon and everything will get back to normal. Happy Wednesday! Freddie

Terrific Tuesday! on August 14, 2007 3:14 pm
Today was so much fun! I got to go visit two of my new RnY sisters at Baptist...Rhonda and Lisa. It was so cool to go back there after only three weeks. I got to take a walk around the floor with Rhonda--she is doing fabulous! She hasn't broken my record of 7 laps but I doubt I'll be the distance walker for long! These girlies are over achievers! Lisa wasn't feeling too good while I was there but she had a beautiful smile on her face and she looked great.
I was getting a little nervous that I wasn't going to be able to contact my new friend Tami. Luckily I found her before her big day. She is such a sweetie.
It really is a great feeling to be connected to so many wonderful people and to have such a neat thing in common! This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself! I feel so good and I cannot believe that even I am successful!
Every day seems better than the previous one. If I get much happier I may explode!
Happy Tuesday, Everyone!

Monday, Monday...there'll be some changes made... on August 13, 2007 12:55 pm
My boss called me this afternoon and it seems that they are rearranging our division at the State department. When I return I will have a different office and another boss. My dear friend that I have worked with for many years is leaving our department and going back downtown. While I will miss her dearly, I am very happy that she has a new opportunity to share her knowledge in a productive way. She is really smart and an excellent teacher. I'm excited about the new work environment and I look forward to seeing what is in store for me in the upcoming year. Just when you think you know the answers....they change the questions.
