Well, I had my surgery on 9/20/2002, about 4.5 years ago. So far I'm doing okay. By God's grace I have not had any problems. I started out at 317 pounds and stopped at 177 pounds but have gained some over the last year. I am up to 190 pounds but being 5'10" I still look okay. My husband lost his job right before Thanksgiving and then we found out my mom has lymphoma so I've been going through some trials but God will see me through these too. Momma is doing good and I know God has something better in mind for my hubby. I know the reason I started gaining is because I started snacking. I'm a stress eater. So I have been praying that God take away my desire to snack. I've been trying to buy healthier things to snack on and keep the chips and chocolate and cookies out of the house.
A little about me, I am 40 years old and have been married 19 years to a wonderful man and we have two beautiful daughters ages 14 and 12. God has truly blessed me. This is about our 8th move in our marriage. We are originally from Arkansas and that is where our family lives. We live in Georgia right now but would love to get closer to home. We have also lived in Louisiana and Alabama. I do medical transcription from home. God has also blessed me there. I actually work for a company but they pay me like I am self employed. I do have a boss. Everything is done over the internet. The docs upload their dictations and then we download and transcribe and then upload them back. It is a very good system. Anyway, I will try to update more often.
