Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~JudyAnne~

it birthday and i'm not excited
on September 29, 2008 10:55 pm

today is my 27 birthday i am very thankful to live to see another b-day to be soo much healthier than i was last year. however i am not excited so let me vent. i am behind on some bills and it driving me crazy got a second job but i probably won't start until the end of the month that sucks. my boyfriend wants to take me out tonight for a quiet romantic dinner and i told him to give me the money instead is that bad? because he ask me the same question because he's always helping out so i really don't want to ask. he really want us to do something since on friday and saturday we are gonna be around alot of our friends celebrating my bday. i don't know when i will get my life together but i hope soon. as for as the weight loss i've being at 230 for i don't know a few week, but then again i been eating thing in sight bad me i know but i went food shoping yesterday so it a start. wish me luck and good luck to you i will post pic this weekend

on September 15, 2008 7:27 am

hey everyone

I am now 5 months post-op and thing are well. i get sooooo much compliment i am so loving it from co workers parent from the kids i pick up(shool bus driver) it so hard to beleive how far i have com. this weight loss truely been a blessing and a journey. i try really hard to try to stay focus but in reality my hardest it not the best i must admit i cheat sometime and i stop well pause on the workout but i will get back on track we all do fall off sometimes but i love life i am so happy. i am down 80-85 lbs i need to start working on my stomach being that i'm top heavy. but i know i will make it to the finish line of 180 lbs. i now wear 14-16 depends hope to wear a 10 by the end. so until next good luck to all of u guy on ur journey and to those who hope to have the surgery one day don't give up the fight it gave me my life back i was too young to be having knee pains back pain and lucky enough to have a man who wants to take me out all the time and didn't want to go. all that have changed.

4 months update
on August 6, 2008 9:43 am

hey all

it being a while since i posted and i now know y other be taking so long to post u know b4 when i was heavier all i wanted to do was lay on coach and watch tv etc... u know but with this weight coming off i am seeing the light in my life. i am a school bus driver and in between my breaks i would come home and sleep ...not no more i clean my house, hang out with friends and after work i go to the park and jog 3 miles 5 day a week and then saturday morning i walk 4 mile in the morning. i'm not in the gym yet i'll start when it gets cold. anyway my weight loss has been going good, slow but good enough for me because i did not gain it overnight so therefore i don't expect to lose it in a day. i was in the hospital last week for 5 days i have an ulcer where they join the intestine to the pouch so i'm on meds for 2 mths but all is well i came out on friday back in the park monday so its not gonna hold me back lol. i have lost 70 lbs so far and i'm looking good my clothes fit so much better right now i'm at the weight i was in high school cannot wait to pass that but i'm happy i made this decision so until next time peace
