Hello OH,

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm doing great. I have been busy, it's time to find a job and go back to work so I have been interviewing and should be back to work by the first of the year. I have been of work since July due to the layoff and didn't realize how much weight I lost since then and that I could not fit any of my old work clothes, they just fell off, so I went out to get new clothes and I am a offically a size 7/8. I cannot remember the last time I was a 7 or if I was ever a 7. I finally got my cast off and am scheduled to have my breast augmentation surgery this coming Monday, yep right before Christmas, it will kinda suck cause I have alot of family coming this year, but I wanna get it done before the new year and before I start working.  My boyfriend is excited, go figure, and we are doing better, still no ring. Happy Holidays everyone and God Bless!

Happy Thanksgiving to my OH family. May god continue to bless you and your families. Always remember that no matter how bad things may seem you always have something to be thankful for so hold on to that.
I am cooking now so I can watch everyone else get there grub on. LOL! I will enjoy myself but promise to not overdo it.  Love you all have a blessed day......Kim

Hello OH,

I had to push my breast augmentation/lift surgery to January 6, 2009, because I will have my cast on until around that time. So thats another 45 days. Let the countdown begin.

I'm still doing good with the weightloss. Alot of people gain weight while in a cast. I have been sticking to my diet and although I am not in the gym I am still having to move around quite a bit.

In other news my boyfriend has decided to wise up and realized he needed to get his ass together or he was gonna lose me. He has been doing great and marriage is a frequent disscusion. We shall see where that goes.


You all stay blessed!

Thats right, I made it to my goal weight of 150lbs in a little over 8 months. Wow, 100lbs gone forever!!!!


I am going to have to wait until January to get my breastlift. My appointment was October 30, I walked into the doctors office ready for surgery and he said hell no, can't do it until you get your cast off. I was so pissed. I had bunion surgery on Oct 17, I asked the chick at the front desl several times if having the foot surgery would prevent me from doing the lift. She said no and even stated she talked to the doctor. She even called a day before the scheduled lift to see how the foot surgery went. My cast will be on until mid January. I'm calling tomorrow to get my money back. Oh well everything happens for a reason. I am happy because I hit my goal weight and hopefully will continue to lose. Maybe I can lose another 10-15lbs before then.

Hello Oh,


I had my foot surgery on 17 October. It was outpatient, so I came home the same day. I have this huge cast on and have to use crutches. The pain is pretty intense and I will have to be casted for 12 weeks. But getting my bunions removed has been something I wanted to do for a long time. My breast surgery is still on as schedule for 30 October. I know I am doing alot at once, but since I am not working this gives me time to get it done and time to recover, cause soon as im up I'm back to work. I'm still losing weight. Which is awesome since I haven't been in the gym. I am still eating right. And have completely quit smoking. And incorporated more protien in my diet. I hope you all are doing well.



Keep in touch!

Hello OH,

I booked my date for my breast lift. October 30, 2008. I am so excited. Right now I have to wear 2 bras, to give me support, volume, lift, and keep everything in...lol. I would have to say that my breast were affected the most by my weightloss, I was at 40DD and now I aint even sure. I would like to lose another 10lbs and then pursue the tummt tuck.  After all that is done I plan on going back to work.  It is so hard staying at home. I have always worked, since I was 16. But with 3 kids it's hardly a break. You all stay blessed and keep in touch.

Hello OH,


I went for my 6 month follow up visit yesterday. I was waiting for a minute to be called back, just sitting listening to my ipod, when finally I was called back. The nurse said I am so sorry you waited so long, she said she saw me waiting but did not think I was here for Dr. Patel, but for the other clinic which is for non surgical weightloss, like b-12 shots and dieting, that I was way to skinny to be seen here. LOL....to skinny, never thought I would be to skinny to be anywhere...lol. but it was flattering.
I got the go ahead from my bariatric doctor for plastics. He said I was at great BMI for my height. And that some people never get there and I have done it in 6 months. I have been working hard to get this weight off and this tool is the best thing ever for me. I was asked is it too soon for plastics, The doctor said its not. I have am less than 10lbs from my goal weight, and oddly enough don't want to be any smaller than 145lbs. I plan on surgery being around late October Early November, this is the perfect time for me, sine I got layed off I wont have to miss work and have folks all in my bizness and theyare giving us a heafty severance which will allow me to pay without financing the sugery for 20 yrs...lol. I go for a plastics consult with Dr. Diana which I was referred to by Dr. Patel. I am so excited!!!


Thanks for listening!

Hello OH,


I got a blessing today. I went to my VA well women visit, for my annual and birth control stuff. The GYN asked if I had any questions, so I asked if the VA covered any type of plastic surgery, she said yes a tummy tuck if medically necessary, i.e you get rashes etc from the loose skin, sometimes, they will. So she put in the request, and it was APPROVED the same day. All I need is a note from the doctor stating I have reached my goal weight. Which I have an appointment with my surgeron Dr. Patel next Thursday. That means I get this note and I get to have a Tummy tuck for free, and in great time too. I got laid off from my job in July, so I wont have to miss work for surgery or recovery. I am 160lbs, 10lbs away from my goal weight I set for myself in less than 6 months, And the doc says he may want to put me on a special diet to control my weight loss, never thought I would hear that. I am so happy about this news. Thanks for listening~God Bless!

Hi OH,


I had a consult with a plastic surgeon. I want a breast lift and tummy tuck. The surgeon said the breast lift would be 5,900 and the tummy tuck would be 7,900 so I am look at almost 14,000. Fortounately I my arms aren't too bad or that would be another 5,100.  Are these the average prices or to high. I don't really know. I have one thing holding me back (besides the money) I have a super bad habit I smoke cigarettes, she said I must quit for 3 months before scheduling a date. Which would make it about November, thats cool cause that would give me time to get rid of those 15lbs. I actually wanna wait until my One Year mark in Febuary, I just wanted to get pricing so I can start saving, cause I dont want to finance anything else...lol. I have 5 cigarettes left in my pack. After that I QUIT! Seriously! I quit instantlly when I found out I was pregnant, and when I want something bad enough and put my mind to it, it's nothing. Besides I shouldn't be smoking any way. Its a nasty and exspenive habit. I mean cigarettes are $6 now....I am damn near at a pack a day. Thats $180 a month, and saving that for 3 months is $540, thats crazy, so I doing it, but I will ask for you to pray for me....I had this surgery so I could be healthy and live long for my kiddos, and I have replaced food with smoking. I am ready to put on the finishing touches!!!

Hello OH,


Been a minute since my last post. So much has happened....I got laid off from my job, but will recieve a nice severance...lol. My friend is staying with me and my man and it has been no stop drama, at this point he just wants to throw them on the street, which puts me in the middle. Boyfriend loves my new body, but is so scared I'm going to cheat or whatever everytime I stepout the house.  The kids love me being home, but are bored. I could go on forever. I am still losing, slowly but surely. I am 169lbs, which is only 19lbs away from my goal, so for that I am truly happy. WIth all the stressors I haven't made to time to go to the gym, but I have maintained my diet. I can squeze into medium shirts now, size 11/12 pants. I am getting a shape. So I am still on track with my wls, everything else will workout, I pray on it and leave up to Him, thats all I can do.....Love you all, best wishes to you all.
