Well, things are going well, I been walking and making sure I don't get catch into all of the holiday eating I feel really good, the weight is coming off, I am very pleased. 

Please keep our family member in your prayers she had surgery today @ Atlanta Medical, I know she is going to be fine, she will soon be on the loser side.

Hello, how is everyone doing with this xmas rush going on. I posted some new pictures so you guys can see  my progress I am still amazed.

I took my mother to get her hair done on monday, and I haven't seen our stylist in about 6 wks and it was so funny to see her face, and her mouth just open.  She just kept looking at me and saying yeah your mom said you had lost weight however, your face and your entire body is just unbelieveable.  The look on her face was just priceless.  I have stop getting upset about the scale because I realized that everybody doesn't lose at the same rate and, I can tell in my cloths it's funny being able to wear cloths that I have worn in awhile.  I am so happy.  I have my 6wk ck up tomorrow, now my scale sayes almost 40lbs however I know the scale at the doctor's office is going to be different. 

I received a call today from North Fulton Bartiac team calling to see how I was doing, it was really nice.  I told her I am so glad I made the choice to have the surgery.  I have no regrets.  I can't wait until the spring I have gotten up to a mile in a half sometimes 2 mile with my walking I need to post some new pictures on my blog. 

I hope everyone has recovered from Thanksgiving shopping and eating, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it was crazy my mother and my sister and my sister in law were @ Walmart this morning we do this every year.  I was really wild people were running for TV's , laptop's and all of that stuff, however we were getting sheets 650 thread count, yesterday we went to Kmart and got 850 thread count.  I was so proud of my self I did really well on Thanksgiving, I got on the scale this morning and I am down 30 lbs, I am so proud of myself.  Later on today I will have to go get my walk on.  I hope everyone had a good holiday season. Today makes 4 wks post op!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, was sitting and thinking just how blessed I am to have, such a wonderful and supportive family.  I read some of the blogs, and realized that it was such a blessing to have the insurance that I had that would cover weight lost surgery.  I have read that some people have applied several times only to be turned down.  I count all of my blessing each day, but I thank God for one of the best one's he has allow me to have wls surgery. 

I think about my feet and ankles are not swelling anymore, I can walk up a flight of stairs without giving out of breath, it's the small things that so many people who don't have weight issue take for granted.  I walked 2 miles today at the mall, I was really surprised at myself, it seems as though time just flew by, I guess because I was window shopping while I was walking too.  I was thinking to myself, I can't wait until springs get's here to really reveal the new me. 

I hope that each day that we all take a little time to realize how blessed we are and be thankful, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, and if you are traveling be careful and remember the speed traps, try not to eat to much, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, everyone how is everyone doing, I am doing well.  I was kind of getting upset with myself because in my head I was thinking I should have lost more weigh, however it took my wonderful husband to remind me that everyone doesn't have the same body type and some people have more weight and the metabolis is different, also some people had alot more water weight to lose too.  Any way now that my mind is clear again I am happy with the 25 lbs I have lost and friday will be 4wks out, and I think I am losing about 1lb to 1 1/2 lbs a day which is great, hell with weight watcher's it took me 3 months to get to 30 lbs.  I know I am using my tool I make sure I do my protein 1st and sip, sip, sip now that I can incorporate more things in my diet, I am happy.  Every one else can notice the weigh lost, I think it is taking my mind some time to catch up with the changes in the body. 

It was funny my 11 year old nephew said TeeTee I can put both my arms around you and get a big hug now since you have lost some weigh and that was the best complement, I could have every received.

I am so happy that I decide to have surgery after I watch this special on BET about obesity in Mississippi, it was really scarey.  I went for a mile walk today and my protein intake has been good, I started on eggs, I had a boiled egg, on sunday and digested it well, and tonight I tried a soft scrambled egg it was good too and no problems with the digestions, so far, I have been making my protein smoothies, with banana's, and peaches, I have digested that well, I haven't tried the strawberries yet, I am kind of scared however it was on my list, I think I will try again on the week-end the strawberry just in case I get ill, I will have a couple of days to recoupe.

Blessings Always
