Hello all,

I am sooooooooooooooo sorry for being MIA on OH. I missed you. Check out my new pics. Wow its been 6 months. LOVE YOU

Hello Everyone,

I am sorry that I have not been writing much lately. I promised my OH Friends an Update so here it is. After a little over a month since my RNY, I have LOST 55 Pounds. Praise God!! I am ok and doing well with my new pouch. My mother comments on my profile like every other day. She is veery happy. I feel good and I am getting in the best workouts ever : ). However as I have started to change physically the people around me seem to have become distance. Which was expected. I can only say that when you have friends and family that rely on food as a comfort, they will no longer invite you to their outtings. And really that is fine, I can not eat half of what I use to eat. Although I have tried to include them in other activities that do not involve eatting. What really makes me emotional is when I see others that could benefit from what my RNY did for me. Like freeing me from High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Poor Circulation etc..I know I will live longer and be more active. I truely know what it is now to eat to live not live to eat. Take Care and Remember FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE.

Hello Everyone, For those who live in or near Detroit  and have been wondering if you could not only go to the taste fest and eat something. Well I found some  vendors with fruit salad and SUGAR FREE  Lemon Italian ICEE. It was soooooooo good.  Not to  mention all the walking I did. I enjoyed it very much. This was the best week ever and I lost 29 pounds.  Take Care, Faith Is the Substance (FITS) 

Happy 4th of July

I am home.  I feel good. I want to thank all those for their words of support and advice. It really made all the difference. I will keep everyone update with my progress. Take Care. Remember Faith is the Substance. Time to sip sip sip : )

2 weeks away wow. Its almost here  . I saw my surgicIal team today. I am all clear. I am so excited and emotional. I keep looking at myself and I can not believe it. I am just going to enjoy this moment. I can not wait to give this gift to all my OH Friends who are waiting for this very moment.  Remember FAITH is the Substance (FITS) Hugs & Kisses.

I told one of my best Friends today that I was going to have my RNY in a few weeks and her response was kinda luke warm. But I let her know that was telling her because  I love her like a sister and not get her approval. On the other hand my long time college room mate was very supportive. She even agreed to walk with me and be there the day of the surgery (which by the way is coming so fast : ) I am excited. But I can understand how she feels her sister is a nurse and she gets these patients after surgery but of course everyone tells you the bad things that happen and not about the other thousands of patients they have seem go home fine. I do not think people understand or want to understand for that matter that for many seeking WLS this is life or death. The real issue is the quality of life I have for living everyday. I want to give my life the best shot.

I have one more month to my WLS. I am excited. My pre-sugrical review is June 9th. I will keep everyone posted. Keep the FAITH.
