Good MORNING - and a Happy TWO YEAR Re-birthday to you!!! I found this quote and just love it!

Full of changes and new experiences. Congratulations to YOU!!! If you have an opportunity and/or haven’t already, please stop by and update your profile!

WHOOOOHOOOO!!!! geesh guys I am so sorry for not being more active, it has been very crazy with 6 children underfoot and moving halfway across the country etc etc... but honestly having the RNY Open Gastric By-Pass has given me a new lease on life!!! I am so gratefull for all the prayers and all of you out there taking the time to stop and think of me. I have lost right at my 100 pounds and am now wearing clothes that have always made me sick to see on other people cause they always made me sick with thier petite little bodies and thier perfect smiles, lol, the one thing I did not take the time to think about as an obese person was that my changes had to start from within! It is very important to be happy with the soul that God gave you before you go about changing the outside it is much more important to find ones own inner peace. Thanks to God and my very supportive family and the love of those around me I am happier than I have ever been.

Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! You’ve been out of surgery now for a little over a month – YIPPIE!!! Your journey will have moments to “pause” – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)…Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly and take lots of pictures…the transformations will make your jaw drop!!! RNY 10/31/03 – down 100 pounds TODAY AND AN OFFICIAL MEMBER OF THE CENTURY CLUB!!! Good luck!

Hi Rebecca, I'd say don't be nervous but, heck, I was nervous! Of course it was all for nothing (except I burned a few extra calories) because my surgery went just fine. In fact, the week before surgery was harder than the week after. I'd say I had more soreness than pain; all completely manageable. Keep it positive. That includes having only positive people around you. The negative ones will just test your nerves. Don't forget to post your experiences to surgery pages when you feel better. I hope all your health and weight-loss dreams come true,
