<b>~*~I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.**Hugs**</b>

Greetings everyone :) I am so sorry I haven't been around much the past 2 weeks. Alan and I are pulling through this difficult time and are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Thank you to everyone who kept us (and Joe's family) in your thoughts and prayers. They really helped us to pull through... Weightwise, I am doing great. I am back to losing a lb a day and lost the excess water weight I'd gained while in NY plus an additional 6 lbs :) This Tuesday will mark 4 months since my surgery and so far I am down 77 lbs, my BMI has dropped from 61.1 to 48.3, and I've lost 65 inches (not including the change in my hands/fingers). I lost, on average, 20 lbs per month the first two months and 15 lbs per month the last two months. It is not quite as fast as I'd expected, yet it is better than what I'd expected, especially given the difficulty I had the first 3 weeks post-op. I am feeling pretty good physically, and while I still have a LONG way to go, I am beginning to see the differences. So much that I understand what people are talking about when they say they no longer recognize themselves in the mirror and feel heavier than they are. Just last night, while looking at my photos from NY, I had to ask my hubby if I really looked like I did in the photos or if the photos just made me look thinner. He confirmed that the photos show the "real" me although, honestly, I think that he must have been being nice as surely, I am much heavier than how I looked in the photos. I spent a bit of time last night and today updating my ObesityHelp.com profile. I added music, photos, a logo/link to my GastricBypass-PostOp Yahoo!Group and even added a guestbook :) I so hope everyone will visit to check out my newest photos as well as post comments to my guestbook :) Sending many smiles and hope this finds everyone well :) Caroline Lap RNY 5/2/03 367/290/150 ObesityHelp.com Profile: www.tinyurl.com/bkld

I was so concerned I was losing weight slowly (40 lbs from 1 1/2 weeks post op to 3 months post-op), and then tonight, my scale showed that I've lost 4 lbs just since the weekend! Well, the BEST part of this is that not only is the speed of my weight loss picking up again, but I am now officially in the 200's AND my BMI is less than 50! (started out with 61+ BMI) So I am no longer super obese! Now I'm "just" morbidly obese :) I've been adding lots of photos to my profile page documenting my progress thus far, and I can see such an incredible difference. It's harder for me to see it when looking in the mirror, so the photos help tremendously :) Anyway, I ramble! LOL Just wanted to share my excitement!!!
