HELLO ALL ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I VISITED MY PAGE, BUT I'M BACK TO SAY THAT I FEEL GREAT!!!!!!! I JUST WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT I WOULD NOT TRADE THE WAY I FEEL NOW FOR ANYTHING, I NEVER REALIZED HOW TIRED I WAS BEFORE,I CAN SEE IT IN THE PICTURES THAT WAS TAKEN 1 WEEK BEFORE SURGERY, MY MOTHER SAYS THAT I LOOK SO MUCH DIFFERENT NOW I CAN'T SEE THAT, BUT I CAN SURE TELL IT IN THE WAY I FEEL,I HAVE REGAINED SO MUCH CONFIDENCE THAT I HAD LOSTI JUST CANT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH. I HOPE THAT EVERYONE THAT READS MY BLOGS IS ENCOURAGED BY WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN, LETS HEAR IT FOR GASTRIC BY-PASS!!!!!I THANK GOD FOR GIVING THE SURGEON KNOWLEDGE TO PERFORM THIS SURGERY,AND I THANK GOD THAT HE HAS MADE ME HEALTHY AGAIN, DON'T GET ME WRONG I STILL HAVE A WAYS TO GO BUT I'M SURE I WILL GET THERE.

 JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO TO ALL YOU GUYS AND WISH EVERYBODY WELL, TODAY IS MY 50TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!ICANT BELIEVE THAT IM 50 NOW. I THINK HOW THANKFUL  THAT I AM HERE THIS DAY TO CELEBRATE.I  AM CELEBRATING MY SELF THIS YEAR, MY FRIENDS FROM WORK (LINDA, YESHICA, MONICA ) AND MYSELF ARE DEPARTING MAY 2ND FROM MIAMI ON A 7 DAY CRUISE TO THE WESTERN CARRIBEAN, I AM SO EXCITED AND BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

Hello everybody, its been almost 1 year! and I have been at a stand still for almost 2 months now, I knew it would slow down but didnt think it would stop!!!!!! I NEED HELP!!!!! ANYONE GOT SUGGESTIONS?

 Well here we are almost finished with another year! I just wanna say thanks to all of you guys for all great support I have recieved from you before and after my surgery. As you can see by my tracker I am down 101lbs. now. I feel so much better my health has improved 100%.One thing that really bothers me is that people are treating me differently now, kinda like I have a place in this world and before I didn't I was a nobody!  they would look thru me or around me or just plain ignore me.I just wish that society as a whole could see beyond a persons size and know how bad that this person is hurting inside, and really see what is in their heart. I have never been so complimented  in all my life! I want all people to know that there is help for obese people out there and that this is a disease, and not just another lazy person lying on the couch eating and watching TV all day long, Because you all know that  this is what most people think about obese people. that is what was said to me numerous times before I had surgery, even though I was a very active person even at 351lbs. Ok enough of my preaching lets touch on another subject.Another thing that has really bothered me is the fact my hair was falling out really bad but it seems to be subsiding now just like doc said it would.So all you guys that are going thru this I read somewhere that Nobody has ever gone bald from having this surgery. I just wanna close by saying "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night" I think the author was a  short jolly obese man

I am so sorry to all you guys for not keeping my site updated I have been really busy with my kids gym, working , not enough time in a day, I'm down 56 lbs. will soon be off Bp meds. they are only  as needed now. everybody keep up the good work  and I'll pray for us all.

I haven't did a blog in a while, I am 28 days out of surgery and 28 lbs I think that I am averaging a pound per day but I'm sure that it will slow down in a bit,I am down to 323 lbs overall. My surgeon says everything  looks good.  I feel good I have stopped taking my metformin, and blood pressure medicine, both my bp, and my blood sugar are within normal limits.Thank God for that, maybe I have made those problems diminish for good, by having this surgery, I surely hope so.all my incision sites are healed over, you would never know that I had my surgery, I can't tell that I am loosing weight but everyone else can, they are amazed, I don't know how to handle all the congradulations and the fussing, from everyone, I don't like being the center attraction, I feel like an animal  in a cage, with everyone looking at me, telling me how good I look, and they can't believe that I'm comming back to work so soon. I really wish they wouldn't make such a big deal of  this, I don't wanna hurt feelings, because they are my friends, but this is really a little much for me, how do I deal with this?I know that eventually all the hoop la will die down but what do I do in the mean time?thanks for reading my blog.

I went to the doc for my post -op checkup, staples are out
I HAVE LOST 20LBS..... woooo hoooo !!!! I'm on my way!!!!

Well guys I'm home with a few bruises 20 staples and thank God that Jp drain is gone, that was the most uncomfortable thing about the surgery,I felt so much better after the nurse took it out today, I will talk more later, need to rest now, Again thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, It really helped.

Well it is 9:33 pm my time, I have to be in the hospital at 5:30 am that leaves me less8 hours, I won't say I'm not a bundle of nerves.......Because I am, I have yelled at my kids today I really didn't mean it, I love them so,I found that my sis will not be there tomorrow because her son is diabetic and she has to be at field day with him tomorrow......Bummer......I really have depended on her in the past for  support  with things like this, My Mom will not be there until around 8:30, I guess it will be just me  Hubby,Thank GOD for him ...and one of my Daughters . I tied up a few loose ends with getting everything ready, packing suitcase and all, I went and purchased my protein, and calcium supplements, I will be able to make a meal off my calcium supplement, and my Flinstone vitamins each day....LOL.... that thing is huge!!!! I again want to thank all of you for all your kind words and support during this new adventure I'm getting ready to go on,Well I guess I should spend time with My husband for a while well bye- bye See you all on the thin side

Well, it is almost here, I feel fearful, tearful,anxious, and excited, thankful,  I am fearful because of what could happen, I am tearful because of the wondering and torture my family and friends will go through while I'm in surgery,I am anxious because I want things to be done and back to normal,I am excited because I know I will be on my way to being thin.I am thankful because of  family and friends like you that are giving me loads of moral support on my venture to discovering a new me. Words will never be able to express how thankful I am to all of you!!!!
