    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!

Well I am well in to my 8th month and all is good.  I now down to about 177 as of this morning need to loose about 42 to get to my personal goal.  I hope I can get there by my one year mark.  My weight has started to slow down somewhat I hope it picks back up.  The hardest thing that I find that I have to deal with since having surgery is dealing with head hunger.  I it wasn't for my husband keeping me on the straight and narrow sometimes I dont know what I will do.   I am trying to be strong it is just a struggle everyday with this.  Well wish me luck on getting to goal.   For all you people struggling with whether to have surgery or not it is sooooo worth it.  I wish I could have had it sooner.  Well until next time.

Hey everyone just thought I would share a little.  I am now down to 183.  Life is so good I can almost get into some size 10 pants they come up but just dont zip who would have thought.  Doctors did think I might have a ulcer but after having the scope everything came out just fine.  No problems the only thing is dealing with food everyday and trying to make the best choices..  It seems the further you get out the more tempted you are to eat something not so good for you.  I can say it is a struggle everyday so days I do get weak but I get back on the right track.  I thank god for my husband and some of my coworker they keep me a the straight and narrow.   Well until next time.

Hi, everyone just a little quick update. 

As of this morning I weigh 193.   I would have never dreamed of being this weight I am smaller now than I was when I graduated from high school.  I am so lucky to have had this done.  I have been having a few stomach pains lately but will go to the doctor today to try to find out whats going on other than that life is great.  I can now play basketball with my husband and run outside with my kids.  I few months ago I didn't have the energy to do any of that.   Well thats it for now I will update again soon.

5 month update

Well everyone today has been officially 5 months since surgery.   A lot has changed.  I now weigh 207 as of this morning.  I can get into some size 14.  I little bit has happen one thing that is currently bothering me is that I am having some hairloss issue.  I thought that I was going to be one of those people who it would bypass but I guess I'm not that lucky.  Would I trade this no not in a million years.  I feel so much better and I look much better.   I have to load some pictures my computer is so slow thats why its taking me longer I just don't have any patients.   well nothing else going on that much now I will update in another month.  Hopefully I wil have gotten down to onederland by then.

My Story

 

I have been heavy all my life but over the last 31/2 years i've really been struggling.  I have tried about every diet out there including many diet pills.  I finally made the decision to have the surgery.  I've already had the consultation on march 28, 2007 and completed my cardio testing.  Currently i weigh 297.  The only person in my family giving me support about my surgery is my husband everyone else just tell me negative things.. I'm just ready to be on my way with this journey.
