Hi Everyone ,
Today is Saturday FEB 27TH 2010 . I have pased my goal mark . I set it for 145 I weigh as of today 142 . Can not believe the difference . I can't stop buying clothes . LOL . I never thought that I would see the day that I like to shop . But I can't stay out of the stores . I feel so much better about myself . I walk with my head up and love to smile again . I look back at some of the old pictures of myself and I have to say that I don't know who that person was anymore . Can't believe I let it get to that point .
I am a little worried as I can eat more thatn I feel like I should beable to eat . I hope that this is normal . Not that I am overeating but just more than I was eating the 1st 5 or 6 months .
Hope everyone is doing well . Will post again soon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Eveyone , Today is Jan 1st 2010 Starting off the new year as a new woman . I am so excited . I have been through some tough times getting here and would do it all over again if I had to . I to date have losr 119 pounds in 7 months . I have 6 pounds to go to get to my goal .I feel so much better inside and out . My confidence is back and so is my energy . I have opened up to businesses in December ready to get them rolling in the new year . I have a Teeth Whitening business I named it Pearly Whites and its off to a great start so far . My other place is a thrift store I named it Nu-2-U . Can't wait to see how it all turns out . Well Happy New Year to you all !!!!!!!!!!!

I am one week out and feeling great . I am so happy to be back at home from Mexico . The liquid diet is bad but I am dealing with it . I have lost 18 pounds in 1 week . I am amazed .Makes the liquid diet easier to deal with . No pain , I am walking and sipping and just doing great . No regrets at all at this point .

Well I am sitting here thinking about how I got in this position to start with .Mad at myself for having to have this surgery , I know that it is my only option , I have so many feelings boxed up inside of me right now . And it pains me to know that I have got to be obese . I hate to buy clothes or go to outings . I look for reasons to stay at home . I am ashamed of myself . Somewhere down the line I have lost myself .I know that I am not the same happy , funny person that I once was . I hope to find myself again someday soon . And this is the only way ,. I know that without the people on this forum I would have never been brave enough to make this decision . I am truly inspired by every ones stories .

Well I have passport in hand and my surgery is paid for in full . Bags are packed . I am ready , I leave greensboro NC on May 27th at 5:40 am  to arrive in Monterey Mexico at 11:00am . I can't wait to join the other side . I am scared to death but I can't back out ,. I need this for my health . Wish me luck!!!

Hi my name is Teresa I am 36 years old . Growing up I was always bigger than the other kids . But when I turned 15 i lost alot of weight and kept it off until I was 25. I got married and we were trying to have a baby with no luck not even with the doctors help . During this time I kept gaining weight . Nothing had changed in my diet or social life for the sudden change in weight . This left me concerned . I was back and forth to see my doctor . They kept saying that everything was fine I should try to lose weight . WELL I had been ttrying with no sucess . This only depressed me I knew that something was wrong . Well one day I was on my way to work and they were talking on the radio about PCOS I had every symptom they were talking about . Well I knew deep down that this was a name for my problem . I called the doctor that same day made a appointment . Sure enough that is what I had . Well it had went to far and they said that it had destroyed my reproductive system . I had large cysts on my ovaries and a tumer in my uterus . So I had to have a complete hyterectomy in 2007 ... Took me 4 months to heal as my insission had a ;arge hematoma so I had to heal with it open . I thought that I was dying . Since my surgery I have gained 30 more pounds . I have starved my self and gained weight . So I am now turning to RNY to help me . I am a self pay because my insurance will not pay for it . I am waiting for my loan to go through . Hopefully I will know tomorrow . I am flying to Monterrey Mexico for my surgery with Dr. Zapata . I hear that he is great and very affordable for self payers . Currently he is running a special for 11,000 minus airfare . Can't wait to get there and get this done maybe in June . Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin this new chapter in my life .
