It's been a long time again. And I'm still not under 200 pounds if anyone thinks this is easy well think again.  I'm 61 one years young and you would think that after having surgery I would be right on point with my eating but I'm having the same problems that everyone else is having I stopped writing my feelings in my journel thinking I got this and I don't have this I'm still me just older.  I will start working out the first of Aug I had knee surgery in Mar 09 my knees had been destroyed from all the weight  I have been carrying for the last fifteen years. But as I have said before I will never give up I'm in this to win I feel better then I've felt in years and the men are looking again.lol.

Just last week I lost a total of seven pounds I had been on a stall for three months, but I now know that my body will rest sometimes like I'm losing to fast and it needs to catch up.  Giving God all the Glory I have started to lose again. My hope is I will be under two hundred by my birthday.

Well it's been a little while since I last wrote I had nothing to say.  I've had surgery on my right leg and it was more painful then having my last child natural that weighed 9 lbs 15oz.  It's a little over two weeks and I feel a little better. I'm now walking around with one straight leg and one bow leg.  The doctor said he had to straighten the leg. Both men and women have always  talked about how pretty my big bow legs were so now I have lost weight my legs are smaller and I only have one bow leg.  I must give God the glory for bringing me through the surgery but it will look a little strange walking with one straight leg and one bow.(smile)  I have been on a stall with my weight since Jan. 2009 but today always giving God the Glory I weight 214 down from 219 Like James Brown said "I Feel Good"  so onward and downward I go.  To anyone that may read this I still say It's Never to Late. 

I have been very bad for not writing more often. I read  all most daily, but most of the time I feel like I have nothing to give.  But I am wrong. I started my journey to LIFE at a late time in my life.  Maybe there is someone else out there thinking about doing this at a more senior time in there life and I should say that it is okay. I couldn't even walk a city block, I couldn't walk two houses down my street. My back hurt all the time my knees hurt and my feelings hurt I had to depend on my mother and grandchildren to help me do everything including oil my legs after a shower. It's sad to say that not until my mother died did I realize I needed to try to live I no longer had her to depend on, I chose life. This has not been hard for me at all God has been very good to me. I no longer have back pain and I only have to take one pill for diabetes and I hope that will inprove.  I'm going to have knee surgery on Feb 25, 2009 I KILLED my right knee with all the weight it have to carry for all those years but again I say God is good. I had this surgery for my health and I will tell you I wanted to look better.  I know I can't  take away the year and I think I look good.for an old girl.

It has been a long time since I last wrote anything down, I feel so blessed. It has been one year and four days since I started this wonderful journey. I have lost 120 pounds in one year.  Never would that have happened if I had continued on my own. I think about how worried both of my parents were because I had gained so much weight.  They would have been so happy for me.  I feel better both mentally and physically.  I no longer take medicine for depression I'm still on meds for diabetis(sp). but not as much.  My biggest problem is even though I've lost so much weight my behind is going down slow, but it's all good I 'm just happy How I look and feel.

I USUALLY TAKE A FEW MONTHS TO UPDATE BUT I DECIDED TO WRITE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT MYSELF AND THIS JOURNEY. I HOPE I WILL BE OF SOME HELP FOR OTHERS SEEKING HELP DECIDING ON SHOULD THEY DO WLS. I LURK ALL THE TIME  BECAUSE I'M OLD ENOUGH TO BE A GRANDMOTHER TO ALOT OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE ON BAF BUT I LOVE LEARNING FROM THE PEOPLE ON THIS SITE. I'm THE MOTHER OF THREE TWO SONS ONE DAUGHTER MY DAUGHTER IS THE OLDEST. I HAVE 14 GRANDCHILDREN AND ONE GREAT GRAND DUE IN AUG. 2008. I AM VERY BLESSED INDEED.  MY WEIGHT LOSS STALLED FOR ONE WHOLE MONTH, BUT THANKS BE TO GOD IT STARTED UP AGAIN I AMD DOWN 106 POUNDS. NOW I JUST WANT TO SAY GOD IS REAL IN MY LIFE. I STILL TAKE MEDICINE FOR DIABETS BUT ONLY TWO PILLS  A DAY . NO MORE MEDS FOR DEPRESSION AND AGAIN I HAVE TO SAY MY GOD IS REAL. ARTHUR IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL IN MY KNESS AND NOW MY LOWER BACK. I'M REALLY LOOKING INTO GETTING SURGERY ON MY KNEE. I ONLY HAVE ONE REGRET AND THAT IS I WISH MY MOTHER HAD BEEN ABLE TO SEE ME LOSING THIS WEIGHT IT DID WORRY HER SO MUCH, BUT AGAIN GOD LET ME KNOW SHE KNEW BECAUSE I HAD SURGERY ON HER BIRTHDAY.  I HAD SUCH A PEACE OVER ME WHEN I HAD THIS SURGEY BECAUSE I JUST FELT IN MY HEART SHE WAS SMILING DOWN ON ME AND HOLDING MY HAND. 

Just thought i'd write a little about what is going on with me.  I'm still at 100 or 102 pounds down, this is getting frustrating.  When I saw that I was down 100 lbs I celebrating just like I always do by eating and I gained 6 lbs. talking about being depressed. How could I do this to myself.  Going back to my old ways is not good and I have put myself in check.  I've come to far for this to happen.  I will have better news next time I write.  

It's been a long time since I last wrote anything.  I am so blessed by God. My daughter Tonya gave me a birthday party on May 17,2008 for my sixth birthday.   My party was great  I saw people I hadn't seen in many years, and the best thing is for those that  hadn't seen me in the last six months were surprized at the amount of weight I lost and how good I looked.  Now I can never get tired of hearing how good I look. I can't really believe I've been blessed to get this WLS and be doing so good.  I have never felt this good.  I have lost 100 pounds all ready, I wish I could walk but because of my friend Arthur in my right knee it is very hard, but I will not give up on exercing.  I can truelly say I have not had any problems medically since I had my surgery. I've dumped but that is all I still try to eat just a little more old habits die hard, but you learn what your limits are when eating and it's best to eat on a saucer that way you can better judge how much you should eat. I hope it won't take so long to update again.

It's been a long time since I've written anything. I'm a little over four month's out and I have lost 64 pounds. Yeh!!!!  In all my life I have never lost more then 30 pounds. I have had my ups and downs It appeared that my weight loss had stopped in my third month, I called one of my new friends from OH and was told this sometimes happens just keep eating right. Well It worked and the weight started to come off again.  I still look at  the weight loss of some of the men and wish just for one week if I could have the loss that they have but this is my journey and I will take what I get.  I'm losing good on the top and from my upper legs but the middle is moving real slow. But I can say this I wouldn't change getting wls for anything no regrets.

It's never to late even when writing on my blog. It has been three months since I had weight loss surgery and I'm afraid to get on the scale. i was losing weight pretty fast at first but for the last three weeks nothing, even gained two pounds. I am afraid.!   It is still hard for me to drink all the water I should have. Sipping just does not get the job done.  I am drinking tea two or three 16oz cups and crystal light now but not 60ozs. I'm going to a group meeting saturday and I hope I can get some advice. I've come to far now to fail. I will continue to use my tool and pray I will lose some weight soon.
