Hello all my AMOS friends and family. How much I have come to appreciate each and everyone of you thru this increddible journey. Today marks my 6th week anniversary. I AM DOWN A TOTAL OF 37lbs. I cant believe that these 37lbs are gone for ever. People that I have not seen for a while are starting to ask if I have done something different with myself. It feels so good to be a loser! Hugs and kisses, ME

Hey all you losers and soon to be losers, Today is my 3 week anniversary and I have lost a total of ..........22lbs. Yippeee!. Last night I went through my boxes of clothes looking for something that fit. They are either to big or just a little snug. Well give me a week and the snug items will be to big..lol. I can't believe how fast time is flying by already. I love my new life and am anxious for the final results. Good luck to everyone who is trying to get this procedure done and Way to go for all the post ops.

<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. (unknown author)FROM MY HEART TO YOU ~*~Hugs~*~</b>

Hello everyone. Today I went to my 1st follow up appointment since surgery on 9/11 and I have lost a whole woopppinng 16lbs. WOW I cant believe I have lost that much in just 2 short weeks. My clothes are saying that I have lost more than that though. Today when I was getting ready for work and my appointment I had to go to the box of next sized clothes to find something that wasnt so big. I am wearing a size smaller already. I am still on the pureed diet and have to stay on it for 4 more weeks. I will follow up with the doc in 3 more months and she suggested that I start to excerise now. When I see her again next she wont recongize me. Thanks for the support and inspiration, Shalonda

Hello My Darling Friends Angel floating in to tell you that my sweet Shalonda is doing very good after her sugery. She is one week out tomorrow. She has not weighed yet but is sure she has lost at least 10 pounds already. She is following the program right to the letter as instructed by the doctor's. I am very proud of her. She is a trooper and is really a model patient. I am very proud of her. I hope when it is my turn I do as well. I wish and pray that everyone has a good experience with this tool and are healthly and strong..Hugs and Big hugs.. Shalonda's Angel Carol

Hello everyone, I just want to update you all on my progress. I have been home for 2 days now. I found that eggs don't agree with my new stomach. So I am going to try them again some day down the road. Pureed food is not so bad. Most of it has a fairly good flavor and is tolerable. I am sore and tired alot. Trying to wean myself off of the liquid pain med and go to tylenol. The liquid narcotic is giving me a residual headache and I dont like the feeling. I have found that taking a walk for 15 minutes 2 times a day helps with my digestion and helps me to sleep easier. I don't know if I have lost any weight yet, I am just trying to focus on getting plenty of fluids and taking my meds and vitamins. Well I will try to continue to update my profile as much as possible. I have found that by sharing stories it helps those that have not gone through this yet to understand and prepare themselves for the journey. I still cant believe I am on the other side. Thanks so much for all the prayers and sweet thoughts. They are greatly appreciated.
