    I'm thinking about you. Time goes by quickly and your surgery will be over and you will feel great before you know it. A second chance was given to you and you are taking it and make the most of it. So many wonderful things have happened in your life but they have been overshadowed by your unhappiness with your weight. You have been given an opportunity to lift that shadow and make your life shine! I'm happy for you.

    Wednesday 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!

My surgery date is Oct.10/07. RNY...Dr. Kam is my surgeon. I look so forward to the beginning of my new life. I have read plenty on this, viewed video's on the actuall surgery, but there's is so much more to learn! It will be a moment  of tears when I can look back at this journey with only memories.

OCTOBER/08..1 YEAR LATER
on October 19, 2008 4:33 am
I'm so sorry for not posting sooner, but I rarely visit here anymore.
It's been 1 year and I'm down 90+ pounds or so. Now I need to change things up....food wise & exercise.
I'm thrilled with the weight loss so far, but I still have a long way to go, I figure about 40-50 lbs....

Well I've passed my 3 month ann. & the weight seems to come off sooooooo slow to me. I look at people that are 1 year out and they are well over 100 ponds. it just seems I'll never ever get there. I seem to loose so slowly....a pound or two then I stay stuck for about 5 or 6 days. I try not to get discouraged and keep plugging along. but in reality I guess I am "average" for weight loss for 3 months out. I'm hoping to look back at this post in another 3 months and say..."what the hell were you worried about"??????

I'm feeling very strong and sort of back to normal. I do not have the energy I thought I would have though. I have lost another 1/2 lb bringing me to 256 lbs. and a 45 lb weight loss! yippppp-ee
I try and exercise daily, although I must confess, after working all day some days I can barely stand on my feet.
I have no problems what so ever in eating anything...spinach salads, ceasar salads, nuts, raw carrots you name it I can eat it!
Somehow, I thought the weight would fall off faster, but I'll take what ever loss I get at this point. Better than a gain....right?
So as I climb down pound by pound....life is good!

My Story

Well let's see.....
I was born & raised in Windsor. Got married too young moved to Vancouver Is. Between 18 -20...I got married, got pregnant, moved to Vancouver Is. , came back to Ont. Had a beautiful daughter I named Charity, and whom I am very very proud of the women she has become! Divorced her father after about 14 yrs. a few yrs later met the awesome man I am with today...we have been together for about 18-19 yrs? I have been hot-air ballooning,ultra plane ride,skydiving @ 10,000', helicopter ride....I am some what a thrill seeker i guess you could say. and really can't wait for the next ride! My daughter got married to a great guy, who I adore. they have 2 kids...pictures in my profile. and of course they are the most gorgeous babies that ever lived! I can't even remember what I did without them in my life? Being a gramma is the best thing ever....
I've been at the same place of employment for almost 30 yrs.
Dave and I have a dog named chili-pepper she is a bouvier/poodle mix...I'll put her pic in there soon too.
anyway....the beat goes on.......
