1 Year 2 months out 180 pounds Gone!

Aug 30, 2009

 I was reading some blogs that those of you just starting your journey have written and started thinking wow how I remember, I was their, scared, confused trying to figure out what to do next and just praying that it would happen soon. The time is like it was yesterday, I am just amazed by all of you the kind and generous people I have met here on OH. I have so many new distant friends and a few that have actually walked this Journey with me. I am so blessed to have met you Wendy and can not wait to spend more time with you in the near future. And then their is my Angel (Claudia) I am so Blessed to have been on this journey with you my friend, our friendship has really become some work of God and I can not wait to meet you face to face, I have so much enjoyed sharring lifes up and downs with you. I have learned so much on this journey the only thing I can say is I would do it all again if I had to without changing a thing. I could not believe my first meal it was small actually real small 1 tsp. carrots 1 tsp. blened pork and 1 tsp.potato w/gravy, I could not actually finish my meal truly amazed to think I use to eat  aplateful then grazing after I had eaten really a miracle. I know the pain after surgery was awful but I did not think did I do the wrong thing I thought this can only get better. Losing 70 pounds in 2 months I was truly amazed. I wont say their hasn't been any problems during this journey I have had my time of vomiting, my time of dumping but I did it to myself I was eating in old habits and it took quite a while to break them. I had my galbladder out and recently had a breast reduction, truly remarkable to have the girls up where they belong, at times I am truly in shock to what my body has gone through this last year. I lost my dear friend Irma she was to have lap band last year but because of health reasons it was postponed she passed away in June and I am truly lost without her its hard when you spend everyday with a person then they pass I never realised that how much I was dependant on her. As the days have turned into a year I am truly blessed by my weightloss and breast reduction. I am currently raising money for a Mission trip to the Philippines in march i will be gone for 6 weeks, we will be building a church, passing out Bibles, we will be making reading glasses,  their will be ministrie to the children. I am so excited about this Mission, I must truly say God had been great in my life if I never lost the weight the Mission trip would be impossible. If you are thinking of having this surgery I say go for it living is an awesome experience.
