    Tuesday 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!

    Hello Farrah, I just wanted to say congratulations on your weight loss surgery and welcome to the other side. As you start to lose the pounds you are going to feel so much better and your energy level will just grow. In just a few short months you’ll be able to do things you never thought possible. The little things will get so much easier, like tying your shoes. I know, I had RNY Gastric Bypass in August of 2004, and I’ve lost 130 lbs. Now the surgery and the change in lifestyle are not walks in the park. That’s why I go to support group meetings and belong to online WLS discussion groups like http://health.groups .yahoo.com/group/WLB SS/ . And I check out websites like Obesity Help and http://wlbss.com for support and information. WLBSS stands for Weight Loss Bariatric Surgery Support, and you should take advantage of all the support you can get. Get all your questions answered by experienced losers who are now winners. From the Girth, a Rising Phoenix, a Bariatric Butterfly, that soon will be you. Congrats and good luck. We’re all right behind you and with you as you start to change your life. Take Care, Bill Johnson-Miles

ONE YEAR!
on February 27, 2007 4:28 am
Today is the day of my one year. One year ago at this very moment, I was on the highway, en route to the hospital. I can't believe it.

And how did I spend last night? Shoving as much food as posisble into my mouth because I can't get over how depressed I am. Yah Farrah, great choice. 

Today I'm going on liquids to get out the crap from yesterday. 

I still can't believe it.

I officially now wear a girdle. :( It sucks. But all of my excess skin is getting to me. My "muffin top" is no longer fat, but excess skin and I can't handle it. My thighs get in my way. So I bought a thigh/waist slimmer. It's annoying and not attractive but it works. I bought a few because it will definitely be about a year before I get my surgery. :( OH WELL.

My jeans.
on February 12, 2007 4:40 am
I bought a pair of size 14 DKNY jeans at the Mirage on Friday, February 2nd. My goal was to have them fit by Friday, 16th, the day of my one year checkup (even though my one year isn't until February 28th, I can't get in then. My choice is 2 weeks early or 2 weeks late). Anyway, I've been working SO hard lately. I've been on the right track again. Working out everyday (sometimes twice!), weighing all my food, protein shakes for breakfast ... and last night, 5 days early, THEY FIT!!! It was the greatest feeling in the whole world. I cried for a good 20 minutes. I've been in a really bad place lately, and it brought me out of it, even if just for a little while. I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing for the rest of the week and hopefully they'll look even better by Friday. I can't wait to take that one year picture! Size wise, I'm literally half the person I was a year ago. INSANE!!!
