My Hubby went to heaven
Aug 11, 2009
He adored me! Why I don't quite know. But now I feel kind of hopeless. I know this is a temporary feeling. But boy it is a rotten way to feel! I am 199.5 now. But I'm not so excited now. All I can say is why! I do know that God is good all the time. Even when things don't make sense. I have to trust. My question to you christian friends is I want to make sure that he sees all the honers done for him is there any thing in scripture that says that they can see from above! Because in this life toward the end he thought he was a nothing! Even though we tried to tell him he as great. The depression spoke louder! My kids and I want to talk to him is it real that he can hear us. I love you wonderful compassionate people and thank you I couldn't have done this surgery of make the life style changes with out you. But with out David around its not so exciting any more. As a memorial to my hubby please read my profile and look at my family pics and make comments so I can read them to him. He loved you guys too.

All the things that made me uncomfortable before weight loss
Jul 09, 2009
I am making a list of everything that made uncomfortable before WLS to remind of where I do not want to go again!
bending over to tie my shoes
holding my little girl on my lap
carnival rides
restaurant booths
sitting on my husbands lap
wearing jeans
walking around for long periods of time
walking up a long set of stairs
being this way in front of my father
with my clothes, I kept tugging at them
trying on new clothes
feeling inferior
feeling lazy from lack of energy
head ach from high blood pressure
knees ach
knowing that every time my blood sugar was high my tissue was waisting away
knowing my health would get worse in the future
telling my daughter I was going to lose weight and accomplishing what I said out to do
feeling out of control
feeling hungry all the time
feeling numb emotionally
having numb, painful, feet
lack of sex drive
