Jan 10, 2010
I can't believe it has been almost 2 years since my surgery.......I am down 150 pounds and my whole life has changed. I feel great, have to say I look great....and I am so inlove with a wonderful man!! All this in 2 years..... Thank you Lord for allowing me to find one of the best surgeons and bringing me through this process with no complications...
I am feeling so much better these days!!
May 02, 2008
Well lets see, today makes almost 5 weeks post-op. I am feeling so much better with my body. I walked up 2 flights of stairs the other night without getting out of breath. This is the first time I have been able to do that in years. I can bend over and tie my shoes with out any trouble. I am so excited, it is just amazing. I went shopping yesterday at the thrift store, because I refuse to go spend a fortune on clothes I won't be wearing for very long. I found skirts from the GAP for like $4.00. I am picky about buying from thrift stores so I really inspect before I buy, then go home and sanitize. My clothes I was wearing before the surgery just hang on me. It is so cool!!! Anyone trying to make a decision about having this done, I say its a no brainer, DO IT!
I am recovering from surgery
Apr 01, 2008
Well, today is 1st day post op and I am doing fine. The nurse says I am not taking in enough fluids so I will try harder. I am walking around the halls, a little slouched though, but walking. Actually, I feel better when I walk, it helps work the gas out and thus the pain eases. To all who have not had this done and are going to or thinking about it, I totally tell you it is not that bad. So far anyway. I am ready to get through the next 2 weeks. Well signing off for now, take care.
Feeling great and excited about tomorrow's surgery

I am feeling much better today. I got up went to church, made an altar call for prayer and gave all my worries to God. He has truly lifted my burdens. I am on a liquid diet today because it is the day before surgery and that is not even bothering me. I am on my way to a much healthier life.
I am majorly stressed
Mar 29, 2008
I have been having anxiety really bad this evening. Actually it has been there all day, but it has gotten worse. I have been blaming it on all sorts of things. But, the truth is I really think it is knowing that I am giving up my comfort..... food! It probably won't be that bad, and I am probably stressing over nothing. Tomorrow I will be on a clear liquid diet since it is the day before my surgery. It seems the closer it gets to midnight the worse the flutters in my chest get from the anxiety. That is why I am here blogging. I am trying to talk myself through it. Well Monday will be here before I know it and there will be NO turning back!!
3 days until surgery
Mar 28, 2008
Well, it's 3 days until the beginning of my new and healthier life. I am getting nervous. I don't think it is about the surgery, but I have this sick feeling in my stomach. Can someone tell me if this is normal? This will be a really big life change for me. I can't believe I live here in New Orleans where all people do is plan get togethers around food. Good food at that. But I have to do this for many reasons, and I am doing this for ME!! I have not yet made friends here and I sure wish someone would reach out and make friends with me. I could sure use some help.
