What's up

Dec 18, 2006

Well I just got back from my sisters and oh did I eat wrong! You see my sister has a gingerbread decorating party every year. In the past I could eat all the candy I wanted and I would! This year was so weird. I had to really watch that I didn't lick my fingers with the frosting on them. I also had to watch eat every thing they wanted to.

The best part that made it worth not stuffing my face with candy was that people noticed I lost a lot of weight!

My sister tried to have stuff I could eat but, I woke up around five this morning and had DUMPING big time and throwing up....not worth the spinach dip and sugar free oreos and the sugar cookie I ate alone with the bread I tried to eat last night!

Well I learned a worth while lesson I soon will not forget!

I promise to post some pictures in the next few days!

By the way 96lbs gone!!!

Baby-sitter blues

Dec 12, 2006

Today was the first time and the first day we took our little one to the baby-sitter we found. Mrs.Jan (the baby-sitter) is so sweet and kind, yet I miss my little one.

You see I just had back surgery and I will not be able to pick my daughter up and hold her until the end of April.

My little one has never been taken care of by anyone other then family.....and I just miss her tons because who ever is helping me stays at our house so that way I don't miss her and she is at home doing her normal schedule.

Now she is at this sweet lady's house who takes care of a 5 year old also...that's it just mine and a 5 year old...I should be thankful and praising the Lord ,but instead I miss my little one and am crying and trying not to find food that I can eat to comfort myself......So far I have not done the eating thing at all!

Ok well I just wanted to rant and vent...hey i kinda feel better!

That's all for now folks!


What a size M

Dec 10, 2006

So yesterday my mom, sister and I went to Old Navy to look at some sweaters my sister saw in the sales paper.

As I was making my way around the store I saw a cute sweater, I said to my sister"this one is cute"

she said "try it on"

I need to stop right here and explain that I have been having a big problem seeing what i really look like and making it stick in my head....you see I can see in the mirror what I look like but what I think in my head how I look is still FAT!

O.K. back to the story.....so I said no maybe another time as I was walking away....well she turned around got one of the sweaters and said "try it on now"!

So I did and it fit! Then my sister asked me "What size do you think it is" I said "an XXL"? My sister said no it's a large. Holy cow I fit into a large and then I looked down at the tag and it said it was a m so I quick asked my sister to look at the tag sewn on the back and sure enough it was a size medium!

So I guess it just goes to show that miracles do come true and the Lord does answer prayers!


"You look Good"

No EDWARD'S PIES!

Dec 09, 2006

So my brother-in-law came up for the weekend and we had a big Christmas dinner last night at our house.

Everyone cooked and it went very well until dessert....My sister-in-law was in charge of that!

There is a new law in my house since I have gotten my surgery....NO EDWARD'S PIES!!!!

Oh but my sister-in-law brought one! She by the way, I feel is jealous of me because the weight I have lost. She is over weight.

Any way...I played it off and didn't make a big deal about it. I really wanted some so my husband let me taste some of his and when I say taste I mean literally a mouse would have taken a bigger bite!

Well that was our 1st dinner we have 2 more....I hope they go better!

5 days out and feeling really good.

Things I like….sleeping well, I have lost 20lbs already

Things I don’t like….I’m hungry, I hate jell-o, I want some energy!

This is truly a life changing procedure do not do it unless you are ready to change for good!

This site is a true blessing from God!

So I guess I need to let everyone know where I am in this journey.,p> I went through all the red tape of writing my letter and getting a psycho evaluation (that cost $250.00) and having it all sent to my insurance. (Blue Cross Blue shield of Tennessee)

Nurse Vicki at Dr. Rutledge’s office said it take 30 to 60 business days for them to get back to them and Vicki said she would call me as soon as she heard!

Well I got a letter from BCBS of TN and I was denied!!!

I called Vicki and was like is that it is there anything else I can do…..she let me know that could appeal it but the answer most likely would be the same.

I cried and cried and cried and then I called my mom. Some how even at the age of 27 my mom still knows what to say to me that makes me feel like everything will be just fine!

So I have got a loan and have to pay cash for everything!

I have a surgery date of the 28th of August 2006….I’m really getting nervous and would love for anyone to e-mail me and let me know what things really helped them or what should I not do!
