I cant believe it OH family!! I have entered onederland!!!!! God is so good..
I cant remember the last time I was in the one hundreds.. It had to be my
early college years... Anyway, things are going good. I need to incorperate more exercise in my weekly schedule, but other than that all is well. I am alittle over three months out and down 65lbs.. My personal goal is 170lbs. For any of you thats out there thinking about WLS, its the best thing that has ever happened to me and I would do it all again at the drop of a dime.. For my friends on my friends list that I havent contacted in a while, please forgive me, I have been very busy, but you guys are always in my thoughts in prayers....
Be Blessed.... I will update new photos soon...

Hello Oh family,
I know it has been a while, but all is going well. I am down 40lbs and it has been 7 weeks. I have hit a stand still, but I am dealing with it. I can pretty much eat normally, but I am still having to get use to slowing down. I have not been working out as much as I should, but next week is a new start!! I am joining a gym near my house on Monday. I hope all is well with each and every one of you..
I wanted some advise, how many of you actually follow a diet, and how many eat in moderation?
I would really like some feedback....
Be Blessed,
Sunshine

SEEN BETTER DAYS on October 7, 2007 11:00 am
Hello OH family,
I have felt terrible since Friday.. Everytime I eat or drink, I feel terrible...
I have no energy and I cant stand this feeling of morning sickness 24 hours a day. I dont want to eat, because I know how I will feel afterwards. Please help!!! I cant stand this feeling.... I am becoming unbearable to live with, because I feel sick and tired all the time and no one understands...
OH family, please help me out... Will I ever feel normal again and be able to function with the rest of my family? Then the deppression checks in, did I make a mistake??? GOD help me...
I need to hear from someone....
Be Blessed,
Sunshine

one week follow up on October 4, 2007 3:45 pm
Hello OH family,
Just wanted to update you all. I went today for my follow up appointment. All was well. All praises to GOD. Had my 1st wow moment, 17 lbs gone forever!!!!!!! Can you believe that, well Im sure you guys can, but this is all new for me!!!
I have been feeling ok, just alittle tired. Im sure that will improve, being that Im only one week out. I have advanced to a mushy diet... I am so excited. Had a small cup of Chilli from Wendy's after my doc. appointment. Went down well, only had four spoonfuls and was full. Saved the rest for dinner and possible lunch tomorrow.(smile) I am getting use to the 30/30 rule. Other than that, all is well, still alittle discomfort on my left side, but I can manage. Having problems finding protein that works for me.. HELP, please, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Everything I have tried seems to make me want to throw up!!! YUK!!!!
Thanks for the many messages of support. You all are the best, I could not have had such a smooth start to my journey to a new me, without my OH family. You are the best. Look forward to hearing from my friends.....
Be Blessed,
Sunshine

My Story Hello, I am a 35 year old happily married female. I live in Suitland, Maryland, right outside of Washington, DC. I recently got married in July of 06. I cant say that I have struggled with weight all my life... to be honest, I was extremely fit, until my middle 20's. I was a cheerleader from 5th grade until my third year in college. I also played girls basketball. At the age of 24 I got pregnant with my daughter and I had a very bad case of toxzemia, in which I gain 71lbs. Needless to say, I never lost it. As I got older, I got less active and the weight began to just pile on. I have tried numerous diets, but nothing seemed to work for me. I have lost 10-30lbs, but always gain it back, plus some. I am blessed not to have any major medical problem, however, I do have alot of lower back and knee pains, especially when walking. I am so blessed that God has given this oppurtunity to have a new start on life.. I look forward to a happier, healthier life... I am so thankful that I am blessed to have a supportive husband and family to help me thru this journey!!  I look forward to adding some of you guys to my friend list as a suport system. My surgery is scheduled for 9/25/07. Look forward to hearing from you all. God Bless!
