Wow it's been awhile since I posted...all is well I am almost 14 months out from surgery..feeling footloose and fancy free..my food intake has increased to maybe a cup 1/2..I am still maintaining between 157-160 I had my consult with my plastic surgeon on 4-3-09. Had to take those GOD awful nude pics to send to the insurance company..shoots seeing the photos alone should get me approval for my tummy tuck...lol but for real I called my insurance company to find out what I needed to get a panneculectomy covered(removal of excess skin in the abdomen area) I have bcbs~ I was advisied I would have had to have lost 100pds, 1 yr out from surgery, and skin irritation, well I have all three and remember from reading Cookies post to keep documentaion of the creams and powders prescribed for the irritation. I also asked my pcp and gastric surgeon to write me a letter to submit to the insurance company..so keep your fingers crossed that I get approved. I am down to an 8-10 comfortably..after surgery I will probably be a 4-6 thats just how much skin I have...I can't wait...

I was 267, scared and excited at the same time...ready and anticipating what life would be like after I take this huge step...Thank GOD I made it when I opened my eyes after being in surgery for an hour and twenty minutes pushing the morphine pump the nurse put in my hand..today @ 156 I can say I have been truley blessed and given a second chance in life by having this surgery. It has in no means been easy at all...I have had lots of good and bad days, but overall I am healthier, stronger and even more confident in myself!!!!! Not to mention able to wear things I could only just imagine yrs ago to wear...no more medicine, thank GOD....I thank all my friends and family who were there for me the phone calls answered Mrs. Rhonda thank you for the visit to the hospital on your lunch break(lol) the flowers and listening to me whine about what I could and couldn't eat..Lady JWB you know u my girl thank u for the phone calls and care package...Yall will never know what that ment to me!!!!! I feel the tears now so Imma cut it off...Thank you again ...now a toast to 111 pds gone forever...raise them glasses high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got up this morning peed(lol) and hopped on the scale 167.8 I was like whattttt!!!

This has been a crazy ride for me this yr..so many up downs..peaks and valleys...dangggg..I am still a size 10 this morning I weighed in at 169.8.. never wouda thunk it 2 pds away from goal..probably would have been there, but I done got lazy and slowed down on the excercise..bad me..lol Im going thru a lot though..hubby got laid off, we just bought a house..got 4 kids cars,.bills do I need to go on..but I know GOD is able and he will fix everything...I thank HIM for his grace and mercy..even though things seem bleek I know HE'S able...any way I am gonna try my best to get these last 15 pds off...

Time really flies huh?! It's almost 2009..dang..2008 has been a year of ups and downs for me..I am at 171.4..friday I noticed my 14's were baggy..so I decided to go to kohls on Sunday and buy me some clearance stuff..lol I grabbed some 10's and 12's..I got into dem 10's..what u say..and also got into a size small blouse..blew me away..I spent 63.00..when I was bigger that was only one outfit..shoot I got a dress, skirt, 2 blouses and a pair of pants...I am loving this..my eating is still up and down..can eat some days others just not interested..Im working on the inner me now..want to remain faithful to GOD and not let the weightloss cause me to fall or have a big head...life is grand though..and that hubby..chile it's like I am a doll always wanting to pick me up, or pull me down in his lap..hes a trip and loving the new me too!!!!

Well the trial is over and done with..I didnt know so much was involved with trials..you have to hear every bit of testimony from different people, I had to experience seeing pictures of my sister with no life in her body, blood everywhere..that's something I will never forget..then to see the man who is responsible for her death sit there with no feeling or emotions..tore me up..moma was strong she had to go before the jury/judge twice and didn't shed a tear..I'm proud of her..Toya had sooo many friends they all acted and dressed alike I felt like I had my sis back in my presence just by having her friends around...I thought I would feel good to have him sentenced and go to jail, but all I could do was look at him mom while she cried for her son and feel sorry for her.. Warren Davis was found guilty of killing my sister, and sentenced to 15yrs in jail. Thought that would make me feel good too, but it doesn't I'll never see her agin, laugh with her again, make fun of moma with her again, or here her all ova the house talkin bout baaaebaaaay go put some vaseline on yo feet...lol I love her dearly always have and always will..today was some kind of closure for me, and I will always remember the good times and laughter we
had...
