Hello OH!
Jul 13, 2008
Hello OH Fam. I haven't been here in a while, so I wanted to stop through and drop a few lines to let everyone know how I was doing. I have lost 66 lbs. and I am 14 away from my goal. I have had a slow journey, but well worth it. My weight loss has been VERY slow. I am wearing a 11/12 and some 9/10's. I want to be in a 9/10 comfortably. So, hopefully after the 14 lbs. lost I will be exactly where I want to be. Well family I have to go, but I will check back with you all in a few days. I am uploaded some recent photos of me so feel free to comment.
HELLO

I haven't posted in a while, but I did want to keep you all posted on my weight loss journey. To me, this has been a really really slow process. I am 4 months out and hae only lost 47 lbs. I expected to be at my goal weight by now~or atleast by my birthday~NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! But I can't complain. God is Good! My surgery has been an experience in itself. I have not experienced any sickness or any type of nauseau~NOTHING! I have had a really great experience as far as that goes. Well, I will post pictures later. I really can't tell much of a difference, but my family and friends can. I can officially wear a size 12 in pants!!!!YEA!
HAPPY NEW YEAR'S

11/08/2007 ~ 1 Week FollowUP
Nov 09, 2007
Today was my 1 week followup and I have lost 10 lbs. WOW! I was excited, but then I got a little discouraged because I was expecting to lose atleast 20 lbs. I read here on OH that in the first week people tend to loose 20-30 lbs. I guess that is them and this is me. I just wanted to give my OH family a little bit of an update. 
11/4/2007 ~ Thank you Lord!

I am home and still in a lot of pain. The surgery went well. I did have to stay an extra night because my BP was not stable and also I was running a low grade fever. Thank you for all your prayers, kind words and thoughts. As soon as I can write more w/o the pain. I will.
10/31/2007 ~ The morning of surgery
Oct 30, 2007
Well, the time has come. I feel somewhat better than I did last night. I prayed and asked God to give me the strength to overcome the fear that I have. I feel that the devil is trying to take control of my life and he wants me to stay obese so that he can control me through my obesity. I know that MY God is protecting me and his angels have encamped around me and My family. I feel that the devil is just waring with my mind and wants me to change my mind about this surgery because he knows what a strong prayer warrior I will become once the extra weight is gone. I thank you all for all of your kind words and I must say, MOVE OVER I'M ON MY WAY TO THE LOSER'S BENCH. I love my OH family and God has given me the strength to endure. Pray for me, Dr. Wade Barker, his surgical team and the nursing staff @ Pine Creek Medical Center. I pray for all the OH family who is having this surgery today. God Bless!
Luv, Meladie

10/30/2007 ~ The night before surgery
Oct 30, 2007
Well, the day has finally come. I am somewhat excited, just more so scared. I don't know why I'm so afraid of this surgery. Possibly because of ALL the negative things I hear on a daily basis from my friends and family. Well, I really don't have much to say except keep me in your prayers. Luv, BossySkyBaby
10/28/2007 ~ 2 more days of the liquid diet/3 until surgery
Oct 28, 2007
Well, I have 2 more days until the liquid diet is over. Well actually it won't be over, but it will be a little easier to maintain once I have the surgery. (HOPEFULLY) These last few days have been HARD. I have cheated almost everyday of the diet. I hope all goes well in the surgery. I have tried to eat jello, juice, milkshakes, ice cream, etc., but they just don't fill me up. I have to feed my family so when I cook these meals for them I get so tempting to eat. Pray for me. Well, I just thought I would update to al on how my liquid diet was going...NOT TOO WELL! Tomorrow, I go for my pre-op testing. I'll update afterwards. Again, please pray for me.
10/24/2007 ~ It is as hard as I thought it would be...
Oct 24, 2007
Today I started my liquid diet and it seems like every corner I turn food is there. Commercials, the pantry, the refridgerator. This is killing me. I really need more self determintaion because if the next 6 daysgo like this I won't make it!!! Pray for me. I need it.
