Hello! My journey, like so many of you, started when I was a child. Overweight, but nothing crazy like now. I have four children, Justin-16, Stephanie-15, Jacob-14, and Matthew-13. My first child was born on my 21st birthday and my fourth was born 3 years and 8 months later. I love my children and want to do more with them, be more active, and enjoy each day more! My husband of 19 years does the cooking and grocery shopping and he eats healthy. This will help me in my battle! I am worried about two things, death from surgery complications, and crazy hair loss. Hopefully neither will happen. I am a preschool teacher and love my job! I will be student teaching this coming fall to complete my BA degree finally! I want to rectify so many things in my life this year (2008), my weight being one of them, finances, finishing my degree, and all in all, improving who I am. I pray that with God's help, I can make these changes.

Three Months Ago Today
on October 11, 2008 4:40 pm
Three months ago today, on July 11, I had my RNY. I am now in a size16, albeit a bit snug, for pants, have lost 45 pounds, and work out at 5am three days a week at the local gym!! Although I am still leary of any hidden complications that could crop up, I am confident that I made the right choice in having the RNY.

17 days out now
on July 28, 2008 5:45 pm
I had a pretty good surgery but ended up back in RIH with some internal bleeding the following weekend. Not fun! I have not lost what I had hoped I would by now....13 pounds...and am having a hard time getting in my water, food, and protein drinks. Due to diarrhea in the past 24 hours, I am giving up on some of it for today. I had one protein drink and two meals and am just drinking as much as I can. I am also in search of a great mood! I usually get excited easily but can't seem to get the "get up and go" attitude back yet.
