hey everyone! 8 mos. out and down 105 lbs! I've been lazy about not being at this site cos I've been out enjoying LIFE! Oh, God! I'm a different person! I feel good like, all the time! Shopping is a joy! I've gotten back to socializing again! I had a xXmas party over the weekend and a few friends had'nt seen me since before the surgery and could'nt believe their eyes! They say i got my old sparkle back! what was really crazy was last month I saw a lady I know and I hollered out to her. She was a bit of a ways from me, and said hello very sweetly while walking towards me. When she got close, she squealed out! Oh girl- I did'nt even know who you were! and gave me a big old hug! She asked me what my secret was to the weight loss was and I told her. Now she's gettin my older clothes! People say I look quite a bit different. I can really see it in my face- the only bummer is now I got a waddle! But ya know, now that I think about it- it gives me character! I just want to do all kinds of things now- I've got tons of energy and now look forward to each and every day! Love MArcia

<b>~*~I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.~*~Hugs~*~</b>

I guess this is a semi update! I just wanna shout out about how good I feel! I'm down 40 lbs. and everyone is noticing that I'm losing! They're complementing my 'new' clothing! I explained to them that these are clothes that I had bought awhile back, but could'nt fit into. I have SO much energy. My God! I'm even doing Spring cleaning! No blood pressure meds. or insulin ! I went from like 25 pills daily to about 6 or 7! I thank God and Dr. Meilahn for giving me my life back! I mean just even 'silly' things! Like my rings are looser , my belly doe'snt stick to the toilet when I sit! I'm getting less and less worried about fitting into a booth. I don't feel as self concious as much. Me and my gurleens went to breakfast and a movie yesterday. Caught The Matrix. Did'nt have to worry about squeezing into the seat! I am SOOO blessed AND thankful.And just think- it's only gonna get better!

Hey Everybody! I want to shout it from the mountaintops!!!! I BROKE ON THRU TO THE OTHER SIDE!!!!! Already it has been 2 weeks since surgery! Can't beleive I'm here! I'm sorry it took me so long to get back ! But I been bizzy! LOL Let's see.... First out of alla my angels, Stephan forgot to post!Here goe: The short version: Went into Temple on the 7th. Surgery at about 10:30. Had to have a heart catherter (sp) put in because of my problems- that crap hurt!. Next thing I know, I'm wakin up and somebody's tellin me that they're gonna take the tube outta my throat. I am in recovery and I see Mom and Stephan and I am very happy! The next thing I know I'm seein them again- in ICU.... Did somebody put my stockings on ???? Yep ,don't know when they did it but those suckers are on. Somebody tells me that I got a call from Tulsa, Oklahoma....Next thing I know, The bed's movin and they're tellin me to sit up and THIS IS THE BUTTON FOR PAIN....The bed turned into a chair! ... Next day , no more alert (to myself) But I did ask for and get my lipstick. Stephan and ma and Ann came up. Vaguely remember seeing things moving on the wall, then back to Demeroldreamland! No problems til I went to get the leak test...All I can remember saying is NO NO NO and WAIT WAIT WAIT! (That pain, my friend, kicked my butt) But then who cared when I got back to the room....Actually I don't remember getting back there! Alls I know is the the pain button WORKED!!! The next few days were finer and I was moved into a room with a lovely roomate, Miss MAry- God Bless her 82 year old self! What did't hurt was the residents under Dr. Meilahn. Miss Dove, Brian, Devon, Matt and Justin- those guys were just wayyyy too cute! Got myself a hug and squeeze on the way out!They remind me of a real cute boy band! LOL They cut me loose on Saturday and I've been rollin ever since! I've got 2 more visits from the home nurse. Mom stayed with me for the week. God bless her....She got me a toilet seat lift and a shower chair, abdominal binder, dressings and all that other stuff. Did'nt need the chair. The lift is cool and I like the binder- holds my stuff! Went to Dr. Meilahn on Friday. I've lost 23 lbs! Checked my blood. I'm doin good. Don't see him for a month.... Only problem is keeping my blood sugar levels up. Before surgery, I was taking 50 units of insulin in the a.m. and 40 at night. Now!!!!! I ain't touched a needle since 2 Sundays ago!!! WOOWOOOWOOO! DUH DEPT..... I was really dehydrated. I thought I was to have only the 10cc per hour and nothing else.... Dr. Meilahn says to me ' Did'nt you remember what I told you about drinking water and other clear liquids so you won't get dry? I said I musta been in LaLa LAnd! So I gotta get in at least 40 oz daily. Woo! Thats it for now!!!!! Thank you family for helping me thru this! Love MArcia
