    Hi everyone, Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I'm back home. The surgery went well and I am reasonably comfortable. I have 6 laparascopic stab wounds which are a bit uncomfortable. I have some gas and a bloated feeling in my stomach. It's difficult to know how much to take in. I was told to sip 30cc/30 minutes throughout the day. Emotionally I am somewhat euphoric about the whole thing but I also have some grieving about my old unhealthy eating habits. I have no second thoughts that I have made the absolutely best decision for my health and for my family.

    My prayers are with you on your upcoming surgery and for a speedy recovery. Debby, I believe one day soon you will be able to catch up with your daughter and husband and all this will be well worth it. God Bless You.

My surgery went well and today I am back home and excited about the future.  I am on a clear liquid diet throughout this week.  I'm trying to figure out how to get all the water, vitamins, and meds I need to take.  My family has been wonderful and supportive.  Well, I will write more later... I think I'll head back to bed for now...

My Story

I am a wife and mother of a 7 year old girl.  I have been dieting since I was 11 years old.  I just turned 50 and I'm sick of once again having a hundred pounds to lose.  I have trouble keeping up with my daughter and my husband.  I had various weight related health problems... ENOUGH... diets don't work... I want my life back...

My RNY is scheduled for October 27 and I can't wait to start my new life.  I plan to have a serious exercise and self improvement program.  Overeating isn't fun anymore!!! 

I love to go to our cabin and swim... I love sailing and canoeing... I love hiking... I want to horseback ride and not fear for the horse!!! I want to be able to run with my daughter and maybe catch her.  I want to set a healthy example for my daughter by eating well and being active.  What I'm doing now isn't healthy, it's destructive.

 I don't feel that big but I noticed everything around me has gotten smaller!!  ...the bathtub, chairs, beds, etc.  I have gotten to 230 lbs... I am in a weight class with mike Tyson for goodness sake!!!
