    Friday 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!

sept 13th two week mark
on September 13, 2007 10:32 am
Well,
  I'm at my two week mark after surgery and I'm down 15 lbs. I am so happy. The only thing is that I don't see any weight gone and I've lost a total of 45 lbs . I guess if I was smaller I would beable to but it's ok I feel better. I''m still having alittle pain nothing that I can handle yesterday my husband and I went to walmart and the mall ( that was fun). I walked some but most of it was in a wheelchair cause of this darn pinching pain . But we got what we needed and I made it home in one piece. Brian was great with me even when I was so great to him . Pain can make you mean . I try really hard not to bit his head off and I cry when I do but he just tells me it's ok . I love that man with all my heart. Had my first piece of solid food today tuna steak. It was good. Didn't have any problems but I took it slow and chewed it like crazy, I will blend everything eles . The only reason I didn't the fish is because it was so soft and falling apart  it was kinda like it was blended. But all is well at the Funk household . Getting better and stronger everyday. I want to say whooo hoooo for my girl jessica h who just found out she got approved. God is great. 
GOD BLESS

9/7/07 Don't worry I didn't die.....My computer...
on September 7, 2007 9:28 am
Hello to all ... 
I'm back and better then ever, well maybe not. I had my surgery and all went great. I was hurting for the first few days I slept alot. But I did walk the first night only about 30 feet, but the second day I walk four time around the whole ward. They took my cath out on sat and my drain out on sunday. I was on the road and on my way home at 2pm sunday. Thank God for mothers. Mine stayed with me and Brian friday night . Then she was waiting on me when I got home. She took care of me from getting my fluids to helping me get a shower. She was wonderful. Not only for me but Brian too. He was able to get things done and sleep at night so he could go to work. Speaking of him he was wonderful too never left my side well there was once when mom made him go and get something to eat but I swear he was gone for like 5 mins and back . He just kept telling me how proud he was of me and how much he loved me. So I am very blessed. I went back to the doctors yesterday. I walked to and from the car. ( think i over did it alittle) Dr McNatt was amazed at how good I look so much that he told me I looked good. I have lost 8 lbs since friday. Down 18 lbs since the 17th of aug.. are you ready that is a total of 39 lbs since feb 28. I am so happy. I can't wait to see what the next month holds. I still hurt but I'm only taking my pain meds at night and only every other day. I do have a pinching pain in my left side doc said it's a sitch that is pulling but that would go away. I hope so that is the only thing that makes me cry . If it wasn't for that I would be pain free. Well that is how my week has gone. I really want to sleep in my bed and on my side but I don't see that happening for awhile . Go back to see doctor in three weeks. Thanks to everyone who prayed for me . I know God was with me the whole time because I wasn't a bit scared not even alittle .. God bless

on August 21, 2007 10:32 am

I think I spoke to soon. After my last post that night I got so hungery I had a headache and my stomach was killing me. I was by myself hubby got called into work.. I was alone  So I did it I ate a plate of spagetti. I Felt awful not only did it make me sick but I felt like I failed. I cried and wondered if I was going to beable to do this. But then Brian came home and hugged me .He told me I was human and that I was going to make mistake . That any normal person would. And that I was doing great and that he was so proud of me ( I have a great husband by the way) So i wrote everything down in my book and called it a night, I decided tomorrow is a new day. I'm now on my 5th day and I doing well got back on track and just taking it one day at a time. Thank you to everyone who is praying for me . That means so much to me and Brian . God bless

My Story

JULY 30,2007
This is my story.. I'm 23 years old soon be 24 on the 26 of Aug. I have been overweight from the time I was two. I started to think about the bypass surgery when my husband and I had been trying to start a family. Two years into trying I was told that unless I lost a large amount of weight that childern may not be in our future. I started looking on the net and talking to people that have had the surgery. August 06 was my first meeting I did all my tests and paperwork ( pasted all test with flying colors)  sent everything  into my insurance company at the end of Jan07 middle of feb I was denied. I was crushed. But I picked myself up and ask God if this is really what he wanted for me. I did what I was supposed to reapplied in july07 and a week later on july 26th 07 I found  out I was approved, One hour later on the same day my doctor's office called  to say august 31st would be my surgery. I don't have much more to tell you as of now,but I will post picture and keep everyone updated
