June 29, 2008 Two Months Post-Op!
Jun 29, 2008
I have a lot to learn, a lot of question and a long journey ahead but no fear. My life is so much better just in these two months in soo many ways. On this past Friday night myself DH and DS were watching a movie together DH was next to me and said whats this poking me in my side, I said its my hip bone! He said Jenn I have rubbed all over your body a million times and I have never felt that! LMAO. He kept poking and rubbing it asking me if I was sure and made me roll to the other side to see if he could feel it there, and he could. I couldn't stop laughing it was the most wonderful feeling! It wasn't just a WOW moment for me but for him too! And this is just the begining. I can't wait to go to Dorney Park this summer get on the rides and be comfortable. Dr. Dallal is awesome and I am blessed to have had him as my surgeon! God IS Great all the time and I am blessed! I am looking forward to updating you next month already! 54 pounds gone forever and no looking back! This surgery is not the end of enjoying food it is the begining of learning how to eat food and enjoy it, re teaching yourself how to eat to live and not live to eat. Remember it fixes your body not your mind and you truly must know this is for you before you have the surgery. Prepare yourself physically start eating better and excercising now, get your mind right research everything possible, find out why you eat , learn to respect food and say good bye to your old habbits and relationship with food. This is NOT the easy way out!!!!!!!! Take care, Jennifer*
PS Im down from a 24/26 to a 16, I haven't been there in at least 10 years!

Monday, First day back to work... 5.12.2008

First day back to work not bad at all!
My RNY was 4.29.08, pre-op I was 257, day of surgery I was 240, today I'm 228. So I have lost 12 lbs in the past 2 weeks. At first I was disappointed but then I thought when have I ever lost that much weight in 2 weeks AND if I lose a little slower then most it isn't such a horrible thing. And I also realize the less you have to lose the slower it comes off, so slow and steady might be the way for right now. Plus I know we go through the starvation stage where you don't lose anything because your body is wondering whats going on with the minimal amount of food! However I understand that while we may not be losing lbs we are losing inches :) I have been walking every night for 2 miles up until Thursday I started walking 3 miles I'm greatful for my walking partner!

Womens One Flaw, 5.10.08
May 10, 2008
By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much time on this one?" and the Lord answered, "Have you seen the spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all irreplaceable and able to run on diet coke and left overs, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure almost anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart and she will do every thing with only two hands." The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands? That's too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish." "But I won't." The Lord protested. " I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick and can work 18 hour days." The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But she is so soft." The Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish." " Will she be able to think?" asked the angel. The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate." The angel then noticed something and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak." The Lord corrected, "it's a tear." "What's a tear for?" the angel asked. The lord said, " the tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain , her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief, and her pride." The angel was impressed. "You are genius lord. You thought of everything. Woman is truly an impressive creation." And she is. Women have strength that amaze men. they bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They don't take no for an answer when they believe there's a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They love unconditionally. They grieve at the loss of a family member yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. Women come in all shapes and sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk, run, or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope, and love. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
Happy Mother's Day.
