It sure has been a wild ride lately
Jul 29, 2009
I haven't written in since the last post when my boyfriend brokeup with last Sept. of 2008, and since then I had pneumonia then the doctors thought I had lung cancer. I ended up at the City of Hope and after removing a portion of my lung Dec. 08 the figured out I had Valley fever and still do, and I'm greatful for it cause it isn't cancer....It's taken me so long to recover from this and it's still not gone but I have every reason to believe it will be soon. I thank God for all the illness and hip surgeries and wls everyday, because it's makes me remember that I have so much to show for the journey and would do it all again if I could have the results that I have today.
We only get what we can deal with, because God does know best and wants us to learn and grow stronger.

Stopped Smoking & brokeup with boyfriend!!!!
Oct 23, 2008
This is my true test of weight lose or gain right now. I stopped smoking 9/2/08 and my boyfriend brokeup with me last week. And even though he hasn't said so, I would say that if they don't call or even txt or email in a week and don't answer any of yours (I only txt'd 3 times) then I say he's done.
I've done good with not smoking even though I eat more often I try to make sure that it counts for my daily intake. And as far as the other I'm just going feel the feelings and move on from here. I don't know if we were meant for each other in many ways, but I sure enjoyed his company and he was the sweetest and most attentive guy up until the end. Oh well what are you gonna do.
Life does go on whether or not we're ready for it to.

Met my goal & started dating!!
Aug 18, 2008
It's been a bit since I've posted on here and so much has happened in my life. First off I met my goal of 145 lbs on my 1 year anniverasry of my RNY and that was awesome. Then I started dating a few men or should I say toads...lol Not exactly what I wanted in my life. Then I met a wonderful man who cares for me and is so sweet and ready to make me happy as much as possible. This has been so wonderful considering the man I spent 14 yrs with was no where near capable of even making himself happy.
I go to activities with my granddaughter and participate totally in everything which is terrific for both of us. I finally have my life back and want to keep it that way!!!!

I'm doing OK!

It's been almost 4 weeks since my hip surgery and I must say this one was more difficult then the first. The doctor had to shorten the bone and do a lot of repair while in there. But I still feel it has all been worth it, including my wls. I've had 3 surgeries in the past 10 months 2 hip and 1 wls and even though that might seem excessive I am so physically and emotionally strong these days that it really feels like a breeze to have gone through it all.
I was afraid that I might gain weight after this one but lost 3 lbs. and some more inches. I feel for the first time in my life that I have some control over what's going on instead of it controlling me. Happiness is mine for the taking and I want that more then anything else in the world today, This a journey I am more then willing to take by myself or with someone, but either way it's all mine and for once I don't have to consider how this is going to effect those around me. Selfishly it doesn't matter because this is my health and happiness.

Here we go!!!!
Feb 11, 2008
Wow here it is the 11th of Feb. already! I can't say I've lost much weight since New Years, I think a few pounds but right now that's ok. I only need to lose about 10 more pounds and that can wait for awhile until I'm able to go back to the gym, which will probably be in about 2.5 months.
I can't believe that next Tuesday the 19th I'll be in the hospital getting my second hip surgery. Believe me I'm not complaining I'm excited to finally be at the end of the whole thing. It has been something I've patently waited for and took all the proper steps to make sure that I got the best help and made the right choices for myself.
So in 7 days I will continue my journey for a better healthier life style. I'm also starting a new friendship with a sweet man I met on a free date sight of all night New Years Eve............lol We are taking it very slow and are really enjoying getting to know one another. I can't wait to see what will come next I feel just like at child looking up a the stars and moon in wonderment for the first time, and it's awesome.
See ya later

The New Year!!!!
Jan 04, 2008
Happy New Year everyone! My new year resolustion is to quit being so hard on myself and others around me. I can now wear a size 6 pants in womens and a 7 in juniors and a large top and still I don't feel like it's good enough. I started out in size 18 pants and 3x tops, when will the madness end! lol
I just feel like this is going to be the most awesome year of the begining of my new life and can only get better. I still have one more hip surgery to go and hopefully it will be Feb. and then by summer I will be ready for tons of fun and going back to work, which is my ultimate goal. I'm down to 158 lbs and have about 13 more to go and I'm post-op 9 month on the 9th of Jan. This has been the biggest and best experience of my life so far. Who knows maybe a true healthy romance will follow.
Until next time keep up the faith, love and good works.
Oh the holidays
Dec 09, 2007
To day it is only 16 days til Christmas and 8 months since my RNY and 5 weeks since my first of 2 hip surgeries, and I must say I still have the pain in my back and my left hip hurts. But it is still a lot better today then anything was 9 months ago and more. I can wakeup feeling good dispite the pain and have a smile on my face when I see my face in the mirror, and not the strangers face that use to look back at me before. I have all most all my Christmas shopping done and feel good, of course I don't have anything wrapped but I will in the next week. Even when I feel like things might be crappy something good always happens to remind me that I am so blessed in so many ways, and that God has given me so much to be greatful for every moment of my life. I need to lift up my head and thank him for all of this. Even the bummer stuff it always leads to many blessing when all is said and done.
Today I weigh 164 lbs. That's a loss of 102 lbs. since surgey April 2007, and a loss of 118 lbs. since Nov. 2006. 9 more pounds to go!
Happy Holidays to all

Things are still changing
Nov 06, 2007
I just made it through my first hip surgery 2 weeks ago, and it's not as bad I thought it was going to be. I've already started quiet a recovery process. I think with in the next month or so I'll be better then ever, and in 4 months I can go in for the next hip surgery. With that bieng said I'm also 20 lbs away from goal weight that my doctor and I dicided on, and that is real exciting too. This has been a busy year but also a blessed year for me and I can't wait to see what lies ahead of me is this marvelous jouney. God bless all of my friends and loved ones.
One week away from Hip surgery
Oct 15, 2007
I'm getting ready for the big day which is suppose to make such a life altering effect on me. I am getting a right hip replacement and then later a left hip replacement. I am a little scared but also excited because my goal has always been to regain my ability to live my life as I want to in good health and actively. So here we go.
I have been doing each mini challenge on the health board on OH, and now we are almost at the end of our Holloween challenge and I'm 5 lbs away from my HC goal and 25 away from total weight loss goal and it's only been 6 months since my surgery. I read where other people struggle with lossing the weight. Some people do and some dont the answer must lie in our motabilisoms, I really dont know. One thing I do know is that I'm greatful for this opportunity to be able to take care of me. God bless and continued sucess.

Labor Day Challenge
Sep 04, 2007
I realized over the Labor Day weekend that I had met my challenge pound loss. I figured that 20 lbs in 2 months was a reasonable amount. The most exciting part was when I realized I lost actually 23 lbs. and exceeded my goal. The close fit one week and 2 weeks later there almost to big, I feel so good about being able to accomplish this for myself. I even shared with my new male friend that I had WLS, he thought it was fantastic that I cared that much about myself to get health and so does my family and friends. I'm still going to the gym even when my hips hurt so much that I want to cry. It makes me feel like I'm doing something for just me. I had an interesting Labor Day weekend I went with my first ex to an amusement park with our grand kids, it was very enjoyable we both have matured and are thinking only of the grand kids. Now I will tell you that the humity and heat were so bad that it made us all miserable, but the company was good. I know your probably wondering "well maybe they are going to get together" no that wont happen, but at least today we can be friends.
