WOW! 7 Months Out
on July 2, 2007 3:42 pm
It's been 7 months today!  I just can't believe it!  I'm down 95 pounds.  I'm at 165 from a high of 260.  I'm tolerating foods very well.  Dr. Chapman and Co. are very pleased with my progress.

I'll try and post some pictures soon.

Well, it's been an interesting 5 weeks.  I'm adjusting to my new lifestyle.  December 2006 had to be the hardest month of my life.  But as each day passes, it gets easier.  I'm tolerating a variety of foods and learning to know when I'm full.  Lord, it sure does hurt when you eat too much, too fast!

So far, I've lost 40 lbs. and two clothing sizes.  Protein is my friend these days!

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers!  Pictures are coming soon!

Hello, all!  I'm home and doing very well.  I got home on Sunday, Dec. 3rd about 1PM.  I had a fabulous stay at the hospital with some really great nurses!

I'm at home on Ensure/Boost 2 ozs/3 times a day, Water and 2 ozs. of Crystal light every hour.  I'm still sore, but recuperating very well.

Thanks to everyone for keeping me in their thoughts and prayers!

love,
dawn

Tomorrow's the BIG Day!
on November 30, 2006 12:24 pm
Tomorrow's my big day!  My surgery is scheduled for 10AM and I have to be at the hospital by 7AM.  I'm very thankful for my husband and my mom who'll be there with me.  My daughter is pulling Day 2 duty on Saturday. 

I'm very excited, like I'm going on a new journey.  I go into this surgery with a light heart and a conviction to be a healthy and phsyically fit woman. 

Thanks to everyone who has posted and offered support.  It means more than you could possibly know!

take care...

Happy Thanksgiving!
on November 19, 2006 11:22 am
I'm getting ready to head north to NYC for Thanksgiving.  Reality is setting in and I find myself thinking, "Will this be my last real Thanksgiving meal?"  I'm very excited about the trip!  My daughter and I are going to visit family and do the whole tourist thing.  Today is getting ready for the week, basically laundry and such.  It's hard to believe that I'm less than two weeks away from my turn on the loser's bench. Woohoo!!
