Surgeon Testimonial

Kira Schofield M.D.
My first impression is that she is very professional and will be very competant. Dr. Schofield addressed all of my questions and took her time with me. She emphasized the importance of this being a tool and making a life change. We went over everything from begining to end. She was warm and caring.

1 yr out
on December 12, 2007 9:28 pm

Yeah, what a great and fast year. Time flys when you are having fun. I am bouncing up and down a couple pounds but holding steady. The Lord is good and he certainly is the reason for the season, so in all your getting and preparing for the Holidays don't forget that Jesus laid his life down , those who call upon him, those that believe he is the son of God and died to be resurrected,,,so that you can be born again, in him ,because he laid down his life, you have eternal life.. The best GIFT ever given was Jesus the Christ. We give because he gave. Go out and be a blessing to someone who may just need an encouraging word.
God loves you no matter what!
MERRY CHRISTmas

5 lbs to GOAL
on October 20, 2007 5:57 am

Hello and Blessing everyone. Live is good and God has richy blest me. I have 5 more lbs to go to be at my personal goal of 100 lbs gone. It has been 1 year sence I started reschearching WLS this month and 9 mos out. I can hardly believe how quick this year has went by. I feel like a new person on the outside.

I am still having low iron which makes me tired and dizzy sometimes and the ice craving is out of control. That is the only thing I have to overcome. I eat what ever I want when ever I want.

I thank God for all his blessing and the opportunity to praise his name! Don't let a day go by without spending time with Jesus. He will strenghten you to walk through any fires of life without getting burned. When you spend time with the Lord reading his word and living for him you will have the peace of God upon your life to deal with anything life has to throw at you. Rest in the storm.

I just want people who read my blog to be encourged. God loves you and knows the plans he has for you. Nothing is impossible with God. There are going to be hard times coming in the world and in our country, please dig into the word which is the bible and prepare yourself to go through trials, after all God designed all trails to teach us to walk by faith, and trust in him to meet our every need. YES, We do need God. Weather you want to believe it or not. Seek him now while he may be found.
Blessings to YOU

Hey Blessings are God's gift

Well been a while sence I seen you all!! Been busy with life. Weight loss has slowed because I eat high calorie stuff. I have another 15 lbs to goal. I am in a size 9 now. Can hardly believe it. Hubby and I just got back from vacation. A week in sunny Florida. Man it wassss so nice to not be the whale on the beach thing. I feel great. No regrets.

Been spending all my extra time studying the Word of God. It sustains my life. If you don't eat the word of life how do you stay alive? Best food I have ever ate is spiritual food from the Kings table. Talk about the best of the best. I highly recommend the Kings diet!! It is the best life support you can have. So taste and see that the Lord is good. I invite you to try some real meat! I promise you will get full and satisfied and it WON'T GO TO YOU HIPS. Until next time, PEACE OUT.

GOD is SOOOO GOOD
on June 1, 2007 6:58 pm

Well I had my 6 month check up yesterday. Dr. Schofield said I am way head of schedule and I need to slow down the weight loss now. SHe said I should stop at no more than another 20 lbs. Do you believe it!! Dr told me to eat more high calorie foods to slow down the weight loss. I told her I already eat what ever I want so I am a little concerned that it's not already slowing down. I have lost 80 lbs now. They did do labs but the results are not back yet. I may be low iron because I crave ice like crazy. Still not eating very much so I am drinking 3-4 protein drinks a day. But when I do eat I eat whatever I want. I just got to the point where I can eat a whole toco from toco bell...Can't do the soft shell. The hair loss has slowed down, praise the Lord!! I will try to get some updated pix on soon. I am so happy with the results. I have some skin issues but it's not bad enough to make me wanna have PS. Ask me in another 20 lbs LOL. Glory to the most high GOD!!

WOW
on May 2, 2007 7:32 pm

Priase the Lord all ye people!! God is great and greatly to be praised!! His eye is on you as well as the sparrow! What have you done to bless the Lord these days? That is the question I asked myself today and I said Lord there is nothing I can do in and of myself but to offer you praise and worship you. We can try our best to be a good person and do unto others as you would have them do unto you, however we are just sinners saved by grace and our works will never earn us a spot to dine at the table with the king of KINGS. Living through Christ is the only hope we have. He gave us everything we need through the Holy Spirit to live a succesful and purpose driven life on this earth after all it's all about fulfilling our destiny in Christ on this earth. That is what brings glory to our Father. As a parent that is proud of the achivements of their child, so is our Heavenly Father through walking in the Spirit, in Christ Jesus honored by our works. Everything we do, we are to do as if doing them for the Lord. OUCH... Messege, stop trying to do everything through your own strength and let the Holy Spirit of Christ that abides in you do the work. Did you do that today!! If not say Lord forgive me and help me live for you! Help me to be whom you destined me to be for your glory. The best thing about that little prayer is HE WILL!! After all your steps are ordered by the LORD. Just some food for thought! Praise God today for his mercies are new everyday. When you get up tomorrow, praise God for those new mercies and that he has already ordered your steps for the day. Make it a great day in Christ. It's up to you to be all you can be in Christ.
UPDATE: 72 pounds gone, posted a new pix I had take for my new business cards. My boss said you need a new card, you don't look like the same person. So things are going well, 4.5 months out and 72 ## gone. All I can say is thank you Jesus. WOW!

My Story

Hello, my name is Tammy. I am 43 and weigh in at my heaviest 250. I have2 grown boyz, one in the Marines (just back from Iraq) , the other a small business owner in construction. I have a butt skinny husband of 16 years and he is very supportive and has never said a unkind word about my weight. My favorite thing is playing with my 3 dogs and being with my grandkids and family.

My story is like so many others out there who struggle with weight. Had a normal childhood as far as weight goes and really didn't start seeing a lot of weight gain until my early 30's when I started going through a lot of stressful things. Outside of the usual lose 15 gain 20 in my 20's I didn't think it was that big of deal until I was 32year old and in a size 18. By then my mom who was also my best friend had terminal cancer and I was eating to feel better. She was suppost to live 3 mos and the Lord healed her and gave us 6 years before a different cancer came and took her life. I was always an overcomer and this was not going to beat me. I had survived an abusive 6 year marriage with 2 children, dropped out of school at 16 to marry him. Finished school in 82 and divorced him in 83 remarried in 91. Then when I seen God heal my mother off her death bed before my very eyes I got serious about the Lord and went to bible college and became an ordained minister. I became a deliverance minister with a passion for casting out devils and educating people on not just the behavior and presence of Angels but also Demons. I was strong in my walk with God and believe all things are possible with HIM. So how come I can't beat this weight thing. Man, I put myself through the ringer and can not get a handle on it. 1.5 years after my mom passed away my 3 yr old grandson was diagnoised with terminal brain cancer. Another blow... He was given no hope and Dr.s told us he would live 6 mos. All the prayers in the world did not help and we lost our Gage almost 6 mos to the day. My baby grandson died Sept 3, 2003. I got lost in helping others and ate myself into a 22/24 250# mama. Even as I am writing this I can see the cycle, sad eat, happy eat, depressed eat, happy eat. Need to feel better eat. WOW. I took out all those emotions on myself. No one could help me, I am the one that helps everyone else.... Well now it's time for me, time to get help and time to get healthy, time to get my life back. So here goes my journey...The Lord is with us even when we feel so alone. He truly is the only one that sticks closer than a brother...
