It's been some time since I have been here. I am very happy and enjoy my life now. I have lost 52lbs and the scale is still going down.  Life has been great. I have to put some pictures up so I can show you my new look. I had my surgery back in April 08 and it's been great. I will come back here more often to chart my progress..... tHANKS for still checking on me.

I am back. For a while I kind of fell off for a minute. I wasn't doing the things that I should have been doing according to what I was suppose to be following. Now I am drinking my protein shakes and eating my soy nuts and things are going well. I lost 3lbs in this last week and it feels great. Little by little I will reach my goal. I must remain focus and do the things I need to achieve my goal.

Things have been going well for me. Since the heat outside has been so high I haven't been outside walking as much as I should. But I have been trying to go to different places inside and get my walking in for the day.
I feel well and the weight is coming off and I am very happy.

I may have started getting back into my routine a little to soon. My incision is healing but I may have starting back a little to soon cause my stomach hurts really bad. Maybe cause I am using muscles that I haven't been using. So I have to slow things down and give my body a chance to heal and then go back to trying the things that I was doing.
So a little walking at a time until things are better.
Keep you posted........

I went back Monday for my first check up and I got a good report. I have lost 17 lbs since my surgery(two weeks ago) and I feel great.  I had my staples removed and I feel much better. Still trying my hand at adding different foods back into my diet and it is a little hard at time trying to get in my protein and my water but I am doing my best. I never could have imagined in a million years that I would be feeling as good as I do. I didn't know what to expect and I was afraid. Life is always full of challenges  and I am ready for them. I am going to start a walking program so that I may get more walking into it and I pray that I continue to do as well as I am doing right now.
So here is to new beginnings.....

Today I have just been moving along. I still have my staples so it is not much that they want me to do. I have a doctor' appointment on Monday and I hope that I get my driving privileges back. I miss those more than anything. I have been trying to get some walking in so that has helped. I miss going to my meeting at the Kingdom Hall and associating with my brothers and sisters. They are so uplifting and I really need that.
So as time goes on I will kept you up on my progress....

Well it is all behind me now. I have made it through and now on post-op day 6. Still having some pain but my strength back and it feels good so far. The first day was rough I thought that I was going to have a real hard time of it. On hospital stay day 4 I was ready to go and start doing things I need to do.  I have been eating   or should I say drinking something thoughout the day and taking my medications like I am suppose to do so. So if any of you old timers have any suggestions please feel free to let me in on it.

Take care for now

I went to have my CT scan done and everything was ok and so Tuesday morning at 6am I go into surgery. Beginning life anew and looking forward to the pain that I will have because I know it will be all worth it in the end. I will keep you posted on my progress....

I got a call this morning from my doctor's office stating that something was wrong with my chest x-ray so I have to go to Columbia tomorrow to have a CT scan to make sure every thing was ok. So i will be able to have my filter placement on Monday. I hope everything is ok. I will keep you posted......

I am 2 weeks out from my surgery. I am very excited but yet nervous too. I hope all goes well and I am able to have my surgery and bounce back quickly. Getting back into the swing of things.
