I have been out of action for a while. This is my busy season at work and my birthday month. So when i have not been working I have been playing. I have taken a "ME" month. Baby girl, hubby, family have all had to do with limited time with me. BUT...........
I never knew life could be this wonderful. Words cannot describe how good I feel and about WLS. THANK GOD I had the sense to step out on Faith. I am so glad I had WLS..
Now with that said......
I have to refocus. I need to get more exercise in and get back on track. I have been acting liking a college kid on spring break. I have not danced this much in YEARS!!!!!!! But starting October 1. I will get myself back in order...
Did i mention i am down 86lbs!!!!!!!!! Excuse me while I get my dance on ...

Well I made myself a promise to start posting. I have nerve not to post my journey since I spend a lot of time reading everyone else’s post. I love reading Shortstack's its like reading everything I am thinking. lololol She is great. Soooo let me recap...
I had surgery on April 8, 2008 at GW hospital by Dr. Afram. My highest weight was 329lb. Now how the H-ll I got there I still don't understand but it is sad but true. I was in the hospital two days and release. Unfortunately I went back to GW the next week for nauseas and dehydration. I had a really bad case of dry heaves also. But I must admit that I loved the care I got from Dr. Afram, Stacey and his staff. He didn't play at all with putting me back in. I got over that and I am feeling better. It has been a battle fighting head hunger. It still amazes me that after a couple bits of food I have to work to get the rest of my food in.....
Now up today I am down to 292. That is 37lbs down 5 1/2 weeks and I have to admit I have just started working out on my elliptical and light weights. I have been searching for a protein that I can tolerate. It is not looking good. Right now I can get down most of Slim fast protein and Atkins protein shakes. I am trying to train myself that I have to get the protein in. I try to eat turkey, chicken or fish to help my protein count. It is hardddddddd.. BUT IT IS WORTH IT.. I can't say enough on how good I feel. During that first week you go through "lord what have I done to myself” but with in two week you start to come around. I am loving life right now. I have NEVER had this much energy. NOT EVEN IN MY TWENTIES!!!!!.
Last night I did twenty minutes on my elliptical and some arm curls. I felt good about myself.
Now I will pray that the protein gets better but I feel like I have come a long way and am very excited. I promise I will post more often

I have completed all test and now ready for April 1. I don't know if I should be happy or scared. I guess I am a little of both. I found out someone I know had WLS (lapband) and it has been really nice to share with her. She is really a wonderful person. Sometimes you don't know who God is going to put in your life for support. We all need support. BAF has been great as well.
