Hello All-
My journey continues.  scales read 158.6 this morning.  I have been eating carbs.  I can still gain weight.
Staying with basics and excercising is the key.  Size 10 is too big.  Yippee.
I love my life.

One year has passed since my RNY surgery.  As i look back on all the hard work,  i feel so blessed and really reborn.
Thank you Lord for your guidance and support.  Thank you US Bariatric staff in Orlando and Dr. Marema for your expertise and caring.  Thank you dear husband for always always loving me, thru good and bad.

DOWN 145 lbs, still a little ways to go but i have come so far.  Normal blood sugar, normal BP, no aches and pains.....SO VERY BLESSED......

Love to all on the journey......

My Story

I have been fat all my life.  Except for the very few times that i have struggled down to a relatively normal weight.
All of my family has weight issues.  I have tried WW at least four times, Jenny Craig, medically supervised diets, abused laxatives and just am unable to keep it off.

I have a loving and patient husband.  He fears for my health.  I have had dual knee replacements and back surgery, gall bladder removed and the usual female operation.  I want my life back.  I want to travel and not worry about fitting in the seat, i want to garden and not be out of breath.  I want to swim, and walk and bike again.

My relationship with food has been a love hate relationship all along.  I remember at 12 my Mom taking me to Weight Watchers.
I remember crying every time i went due to embarassment.

I dont want to hide anymore.  I want to live.  I want people to not  look at me in disdain or worse  not see at me at all.

I am going on a journey.  See you along the way.
