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!

A long time coming
on January 20, 2008 4:38 am
I know it has been a terribly long time since I posted but life has been so hectic.  I am now 6 months out and have lost 116 lbs counting the 21 lbs that I lost on the liquid diet before surgery.  I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16 without the w behind it YEAH!  Without a doubt this surgery was the best thing that I could have ever done for myself.  Was it easy?  I honestly have to say no but it was worth it!  The lifestyle change took some getting used to.  I was bad to use food as my coping mechanism before surgery and had some problems redirecting after surgery.  My dr put me on Lexapro for the bouts of depression and I did have a few panic attacks but I think those were more work related than surgery related.  Lexapro slowed the wt loss down a bit for a while but now that my body has adjusted to the meds the wt loss has picked back up to normal.  Haven't really had lot of problems with being sick.  I do notice that my tastes have changed since surgery and things that I loved before just do not taste good anymore.  I still have problems with the protein drinks so I try to get most of my protein from food.  All my blood work keeps coming back as fine so I guess that is working for me.  As for hanging skin I notice that my arms are a little flabby but other than that everything seems to toning up.   I still have pics to post but just can't seem to find the time.  Hopefully I can get those up soon.

INDEPENDENCE DAY
on July 4, 2007 9:21 am
Well today is officially my independence day.  I am a 37 yr old mother to three boys.  I have been employed as a 911 dispatcher for the last 6 years and a devoted wife of a law enforcement officer for the last 14 years and today I officially start looking out for me again!  Tomorrow is the beginning of my two weeks of liquids and I am alot more psyhed than I thought I would be.  Just that much closer to recognizing the person in mirror again.  I often wonder if other people are like me and don't recognize the person looking back.  This is such a big step and I am so proud of myself for taking it.  For so many years I have let myself fall by the wayside while I took care of everyone else.  Now I have to take care of me or I am not going to do anyone else any good.  So here is to new beginnings and a Bright new future!
