40 more to go! on November 16, 2009 6:27 pm
Hello OH friends.
Well almost 4 months out and 67 pounds lighter. I'm currently sitting, with my legs crossed. Imagine! Who would have thought! Not I!!!!
I am so thankful for this blessing but needs your prayers to continue to search for something that can help me get in a sufficient amount of protein. I'm still not getting it. I've tried lots and lots of protein powders and shots. Hmmmm....
I love it here on the loser's bench!!!! I'm going to update pictures one day. :-)

I am so thankful for this opportunity. I'm trying everyday to remember this too shall pass. :-) I have a gnawing, empty, sick hungry feeling just under my chest most of the time. I believe it is just my tummy healing. Everyday gets a smidgen easier. In two weeks I'll be allowed flaky fish. I can't wait to have myself a grilled salmon... Hmmm hmmmm....
School is underway and I love my new students. I'm finding it easier to get going this week... more strength and stamina which are critical in the shark pool of 7th grade. LOL
I'm not loosing as quickly as I'd like but I'm doing all the right things - walking a minimum of 30 minutes a day and drinking 64 oz of water... getting 40 to 60 g of protein every day... working on the milk - 20 to 30 oz per day... taking all my vitamins.. One of my goals is to relax and allow the weight to come off on His timetable... I'm working on it. I've lost 15 since surgery - 34 since January when I started my pre op requirements.
Enough for today... I'm rambling.
Good night dear friends,
Terri

Rest where's the Relaxation! on July 30, 2009 7:34 pm
I'm on day 6. I'm more mobile today but definitely low in energy. I'm down another two pounds... Since I started the process in January I'm down 26 pounds. I'm so proud of that. What's with the hunger though? I keep trying to determine if it's a homesickness for the comfort of my favorite foods or actual hunger. It is physical and it's in my tummy. Who knows! I'm praying for peace with the liquid diet and get my protein in. I'm using the Unjury at this time.
I suppose I'm through rambling for this night. Good night all... Terri

Closer on July 22, 2009 10:30 am
Its Wednesday. I'm one day closer to my third birthday. My biological birthday was May 3rd. My spiritual birthday was Nov 9. My Health Birthday will be Jul 24th. I am soooo blessed and so thankful. So many bridges were crossed and in retrospect I am thankful for each one. I've discovered so much about myself during this journey.
I feel like a nesting mother. The house is more organized. The big cleaning jobs have been done with the exception of the garage. That is on tonight's list. :-).
I'm working on a checklist that I wish I had had. I'll post it in the event anybody else could adapt it for an easier time. My supplements have been purchased... pain medicine picked up and ready... ice gel bags frozen... band-aids ready... huge pot of boiling chicken to freeze blocks of broth and pureed chicken... Everything suggested by you who are so giving of your time and experience. Hopefully I can give back.
I love you all sisters. Thank you for holding my hand through this.
Terri
