 HELLO OH,
   AS YOU KNOW I AM ON A COUNTDOWN. I HAVE 7 DAYS TO GO BEFORE I AM BORN AGAIN. I MUST ADMIT I AM FEELING A LITTLE ANXIOUS AND NERVOUS. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ALL TYPES OF THINGS, SUCH AS... WHAT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG? I KNOW THIS IS THE RIGHT THING FOR ME AND I HAVE PRAYED AND ASKED GOD TO BE WITH ME. I KNOW HE WILL BRING ME THROUGH IT ALL. WITH HIM I CAN DO ALL.... NOT SOME... BUT ALL THINGS! GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN ME, THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD. I LIFT UP MY EYES UNTO THE HILLS FROM WHENCE COMETH MY HELP. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW THE POWER OF PRAYER PLEASE KEEP ME LIFTED UP IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.... AMEN!
   I AM VERY EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW AND I DON'T QUITE KNOW WHY. I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS PROCEDURE AND CAME OUT DOING GREAT. I DO KNOW THAT FEAR IS NOT OF GOD AND I WILL FEAR NOT!  I KNOW THERE ARE A COUPLE OF YOU THAT I HAVE BECOME VERY CLOSE TO AND IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING TO HAVE NEW FRIENDS NEAR AND FAR. I'M SENDING MY LOVE AND BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL. BE BLESSED AND I WILL TALK TO YOU ALL SOON.

 HELLO OH,
   I AM ON DAY 5 AND I THOUGHT THE WORSE WAS BEHIND ME, MY FIANCE AND I WERE BOTH AT HOME TODAY AND IT WAS ROUGH. ALL WEEK HE HAS BEEN COOKING FOR HIMSELF AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SO SWEET. HE DID NOT WANT ME TO BE TEMPTED AND IT WORKED OUT GREAT BECAUSE I LEAVE FOR WORK AT 8AM. HE WORKS AT NIGHT AND DOES NOT LEAVE UNTIL 1. THAT MEANT WHEN HE COOKED I WAS NEVER HERE AND BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THE AROMA WAS GONE. WELL TODAY WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS HERE WHILE HE COOKED AND IT IS HARD. HE MADE MY FAVORITE STUFFED TALAPIA, OKRA AND SHRIMPS WITH WHITE RICE. OMG, I WANTED IT SO BADLY.... I CAN STILL SMELL IT. BUT, I AM HOLDING ON. I HAVE 8 DAYS AND IT WILL ALL BE OVER. LORD, HELP ME PLEASE.... THE SOUPS AND JELLO IS NOT DOING A THING. I AM SURE IT IS ALL MENTAL BUT BOY O BOY DOES OUR MIND PLAY TRICKS ON US. PRAY FOR ME GUYS, TODAY I AM FEELING WEAK.... TTYS

 GREETINGS,
   IT IS DAY ONE OF MY LIQUIDS AND IT IS PRETTY TOUGH, I'M A LITTLE FRUSTRATED AND VERY ANXIOUS. I KNOW THE TIME WILL GO BY SOONER THAN I THINK IF I COULD JUST STOP THINKING OF HOW I MAY NOT GET THROUGH THIS. TWO WEEKS OF LIQUIDS IS SUCH A LONG TIME TO ME. I AM VERY STRESSED AT WORK AND I OBVIOUSLY CAN NOT RESORT TO MY OLD  HABITS OF SNACKING. I REALIZE I AM VERY DEPENDANT ON POPS WHEN FEELING OVERWHELMED, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S SOME SORT OF SEDATIVE FOR ME:). IN ANY CASE, I HAVE TO DO THIS AND I CAN ONLY ASK THAT YOU ALL PRAY FOR ME. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO GET THROUGH THE 2 WEEK PHASE? I KNOW SOME OF YOU ONLY DID A DAY OR MAYBE A WEEK. BUT TO THOSE OF YOU THAT HAD TO DO LONGER PLEASE HELP ME WITH WAYS TO GET THROUGH THIS.... THANK YOU AND MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL...

 GREETINGS FAMILIA,
     THE BIG DAY HAS ARRIVED IN EXACTLY 3 HOURS AND 37 MINUTES I WILL BEGIN MY TWO WEEK LIQUID DIET. I AM EXCITED, ANXIOUS, NERVOUS AND READY. I KNOW THE TIME IS NOW OR NEVER. TODAY WAS A BEAUTIFUL  DAY, MY FIANCE AND I TOOK HIS SISTER OUT TO DINNER FOR HER BDAY. AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS "THE LAST SUPPER" AS I JOKINGLY REFERRED TO IT TODAY. I DID NOT OVERDUE IT, BUT I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. AFTER DINNER WE CAME HOME AND DID OUR NORMAL WEEKLY PREP. AFTERWARDS, WE WENT OUT AGAIN AND STOCKED UP ON ALL THE NECESSITIES. PROTEIN, BOULLION, BROTH, SF JELLO, CRYSTAL LIGHT AND A PORTABLE BLENDER TO TAKE WITH ME TO WORK. I AM SO EXCITED TO HAVE MY SURGERY, I AM DETERMINED MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. FAILURE IS AND NEVER WILL BE AN OPTION! I WILL KEEP YOU ALL POSTED ON HOW THINGS ARE GOING DAILY. WELL, THIS IS IT!!!! PLEASE MOVE OVER JUST A LITTLE BECAUSE I WON'T NEED TOO MUCH ROOM ON THE LOSERS BENCH. I HOPE AND PRAY EVERYONE IS SAFE AND HAPPY TO BE HERE JUST ONE MORE TIME IS A BLESSING. WELL, UNTIL TOMORROW.... HUGS AND KISSES

                                              ONE LOVE//// ALPHALUV1

 I hope everyone had a fabulous day, I must admit that I am still floating on air. I went to my surgeons office today and it was great, I could feel the excitement from everyone. I guess it's because I had so many hoops to jump through. And I guess I'm one of those people who people warm up to easily. I must say that comes from my Grandmother " GOD BLESS HER SOUL" She was someone who did not cut any corners, gave to you just the way it is and you never had to question how sincere she was. In any case, she always taught me to be true to oneself in order to be tru to others, judge not or you will be judged and most importantly LOVE everyone and pray for those who try to hurt you. In any case, I went to pick up my paperwork for my preop appt and diet, they also gave me my 2 week post op as well as one month post op appt.
   I am so excited and scared at the same time, I guess I'm just afraid of going two weeks with no food. I'm not worried after the surgery. I know that others have done this before me and I can do it as well. OH family please pray for me, I'm really in need of prayer. I think this is all in my mind. In any case, no matter what I will do it. I think I wil start Sunday instead of Monday. I usually leave church feeling quite refreshed and I think it will be to my advantage. Well, I am just getting in and I need to settle down but I will be back later tonight.

 Hello My OH Family,
   I am happy to announce that I have a surgery date.... March 12th!  I am so excited that I don't know what to do, I start my liquids on Monday. I am a bit nervous because I don't want to fail and I know that with God I can do all things! Well, I cn finally say I have a seat reserved on the losers bench. I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement throughout this process.it is greatly appreciated.

                                                      LOVE ALWAYS,
                                                          ALDINA

Greetings OH Familia,
   It's been a little bit since I have updated , so here we go. As some of you know I was approved on the 30th of January. I have been waiting nearly two weeks just to get scheduled for surgery. I called into my Surgeons office and spoke with a Rep she stated my files are on Dr V desk waiting to be signed off and then it will go to the Scheduler. I was advised it will take appx 1 week to get a date. I'm so tired of waiting , just to wait some more. I am ready to get a date, start my liquids and begin a new and improved life. Wow, I thought the biggest part was over, which was getting approved after the six months . Please pry for me, I need to be patient and II kjnow some people are just beginning and still waiting for an approval. I just can't help but feel a bit frustrated, well Im going to talk with you all later, I had a long and draining day. I ams eeing double so please forgifve me if I have any typos...Luv You All..... TOOTLES

HELLO FAMILIA,
   I AM SO EXCITED... I GOT MY APPROVAL TODAY!!! 
 I AM SOOO HAPPY, I CAN NOT EXPLAIN. I CALLED LAST WEEK AND FOUND OUT THAT MY FILES DID NOT GET SENT OUT UNTIL THURSDAY BECAUSE OF THE LETTER OF MEDICAL NECESSITY THAT COMES FROM THE SURGEON. I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY FILES WERE SENT AT MY LAST APPT AS WE DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY. IN ANY CASE, THEY SENT IT OUT THURSDAY AND I WAS APPROVED ON FRIDAY AND GOT THE NEWS TODAY.I AM NOW WAITING ON A CALL TO ADVISE ME ABOUT THE TWO WEEK LIQUID DIET AND MY DATES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DATE IN THE SYSTEM IS 3/26, HOWEVER THE PC SAYS THAT'S JUST A PROJECTED DATE ENTERED IN THE SYSTEM AND IT WILL BE SOONER THAN THAT.
   WHEW... I CAN BREATHE A LITTLE, BUT NOW I AM ANXIOUS ABOUT THE TWO WEEK LIQUID DIET AND WHAT THATS GOING TO BE LIKE. IF ANY OF YOU CAN OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE OR ADVISE FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE IT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. AS SOON AS I KNOW THE DATE, I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW.
   I WANT TO SEND ALL MY LOVE TO YOU LADIES WHO HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE THIS RIDE WITH ME ALTHOUGH YOU ARE POST OP. YOUR PRAYERS WERE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND GOD HAS HEARD THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT, I AM GREATFUL TO ALL OF YOU
                       
                                           SMOOCHES... ONE LOVE

 GUD MORNING OH FAMILY,
    GOD IS SOOO GOOD... LET ME SAY IT AGAIN....GOD IS GOOD!!!! I AM SUPER SIZED EXCITED THIS MORNING...


AS SOME OF YOU KNOW AND SOME MAY NOT... THAT MY DAUGHTER IS ALSO A MEMBER HERE, SHE STARTED THE JOURNEY TO A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE AS SHE SAW ME MAKE CHANGES AND TAKING CONTROL OF MY DESTINY. WELL..... I AM SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT SHE IS APPROVED FOR SURGERY AND WILL BE HAVING IT NEXT MONTH AS WELL. SHE STARTS HER LIQUID FAST NEXT WEEK. THAT MEANS WE WILL BOTH TAKE THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER NEXT MONTH...

I AM SO EXCITED FOR HER AND I KNOW YOU ALL WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW LOVE AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO HER AS WELL... FEEL FREE TO VIEW MY FRIENDS LIST AND ADD HER AS WELL..... 'KELLYMONET"


WELL HAVE A GREAT DAY FAM, I JUST HAD TO COME ON AND SHARE THE NEWS...TTYS

NOT A LOT GOING ON TODAY, I RELAXED MOST OF THE DAY AND DECIDED TO GO SHOPPING THIS AFTERNOON. I HAVE TO SAY I'M DEFINITELY A FASHIONISTA, LOVE SHOPPING, MAKEUP , JEWELRY ETC.

I DID NOTICE TODAY THAT I FOUND MYSELF IN THE MISSES DEPT ADMIRING WHAT I LIKE, RATHER THAN WHAT I CAN MAKE WORK. I GUESS 50 CENT SAID IT BEST... (I'M NOW A WINDOW SHOPPER)! LOL. I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO PURCHASE ANYTHING OTHER THAN COSMETICS UNTIL AFTER SURGERY. NOW BELIEVE ME, THAT'S HARD FOR ME BECAUSE I AM DEFINITELY A SHOE FANATIC. EVEN AT A SIZE 20 THAT HAS NEVER STOPPED ME FROM EXPANDING MY SHOE FETISH...I LOVE HEELS, ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL.

IT'S FUNNY, ALTHOUGH I KNEW I WAS (AM) OBESE... IT NEVER REALLY HIT ME UNTIL AFTER I STARTED THE WL PROCESS. I GUESS I WAS BRAINWASHED. I FELT AS THOUGH I STILL HAVE CURVES, NOT A BIG BELLY AND A WHIOLE LOT OF JUNK N THE TRUNK SO I'M FINE! I GUESS I NEVER REALIZED OR EXPERIENCED THE BAD AND UGLY OF OBESITY. I WAS ALWAYS TOLD, YOU'RE PRETTY OR YOU'RE CURVY AS IF THAT WAS A PASS FOR ME NOT TO FACE THE MUSIC. WELL I'M AWAKE NOW AND I AM READY TO FIGHT. I'M GOING TO GO HARD AND GIVE THIS JOURNEY ALL I HAVE TO GIVE. I'M READY FOR THIS FIGHT AND I WILL GO DOWN FIGHTING...

WELL THIS ENDS DAY 2 OF WAITING, I'M HAPPY IT'S THE WEEKEND BECAUSE I KNOW UHC IS CLOSED AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TODAY. I PLAN ON GIVING THEM A CALL NEXT THURSDAY... 7 DAYS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TIME TO AT LEAST INFORM ME WHETHER MY FILES HAVE BEEN SCANNED AND ASSIGNED TO MY PR.

                                                                      GUD NITE EVERYONE & REMEMBER...

THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL IS TO BE TRUE TO ONESELF, LOVE YOURSELF FIRST.... ALPHALUV1
