Last night was so fun, my son, husband and i all carved our own pumpkins last night i am soaking the seeds we are going to bake them, my sister used to do this with me every Halloween, and it was fun, so my family is starting this tradition too.  We were all having a great time last night put up more halloween lights, and cleaned more.  I never would have had any of this energy before.  I also started a baby blanket the other night i am almost done croche ing this too.  I have been in such a cleaning kick, going thru drawers, and clothes. Before it would have sat i was always so tired all the time.  I love having all this energy now.  Even sick with a cold i can do more.  This was such a wonderful surgery i have done for myself, and my family.  God bless!  Have fun tomarrow night !  HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

I went to the store last night no longer can i wear capris at the gym, i freeze so i pulled out my sweats put them on and i was drounding, they looked like huge ballons, so anyway i went to the store. Walmart FAVORITE STORE!!!   I went into the juniors section, i bought three really cute work out lounge pants, i got into size 11-13 large in juniors , might i say HOLY CRAZIENESS!!!   I am so excited, i have never been in normal close, now i can squeeze into some juniors, way cool.  My son is so cute i put them on at home to show my DH and my son said wow mom you look good, mind you he is four,  What a doll.  ANyway i just wanted to share, so tonight i am going to wear my new cute girly pants, 

Hello again, i am getting excited next month is my year out from surgery, everything is going great, I am still loosing.  My son and i went to the gym last night and one of the gals that works there i haven't seen her for a while, not sure where she has been but , she called me skinny, i laughed, i had on baggy sweats, and sweatshirt.  It is just humorus to hear someone say that to me.  I still don't see it, i hope eventually i see what everyone else see's all i know is i feel better, and my scale shows me, i am content right here, so if this is it.  i am alot healthier now than i have been in my life.  I also got my levels on vits back everything is great, by b-12 was 1200, which is 100 more than the top # soooo good deal, iron levels good, and hemoglobin was great.  Now on to the next adventure in my life.  We are trying to conceive starting next month , as long as my levels were good i am supposed to get the thumbs up at a year out. so actually it will be dec before we try.  I can't wait to see the doctor that did my surgery, he is great, i want to thank him for my second chance at life in person.  I will forever be greatful to doc jeff baker!


bye for now.

Hello all, i had my nine month check up according to there scale i am down officially 184 pounds our scale at home was wrong.  I am still very pleased with this. i am in size 12 and they are getting loose, not bad coming from a 28 tight jean.  Well we went to Como Zoo again, and it was great i went on the dragon roller coaster with my now 4 yr old, and then we went on the pumpkins, it was awsome being able to fit in kids rides and have a blast.

My husband took a great picture of us, i need to get pics on here i know, i know, i keep saying it.   I also had another great moment, my husband and i took an hour and half ride on our harley, he bought me my very first womens Harley leather jacket i love it.  I finally can wear girly clothes.  I am so happy with my new life.  Also my son now has started preschool, so he is a big boy now, and has informed me he is all grown up. way tooo cute.


God bless 
Gotta go for now.

Well i went to the health club last night again, talked the hubby into going we were walking the track, like we always do to warm up, i looked at him and said wanna run it? He looked at me and took off, so i did too, i wasn't dying or in pain or anything, but i had to walk and then run, in spurts, decided i need to wear a sport bra if i am going to run , and maybe a pair of spandex, haha.the skin movement was crazy,.  But i felt great being able to run and not be wiped out or in pain because of the weight, i finally feel free.!!!! I am not trapped in the over sized body i was living in for 34 years.  Every day just keeps getting better , and better,  My son was telling my aunts, and grandma, and mom that " my mom rocks!"  She does so much fun stuff with me."  I tell you what right there is a great reason for doing this surgery, doing things with my son, i couldn't have done before.  I am very greatful to Doctor Jeff Baker for my second chance at life~

Hello everyone, 

It has been a while since my last post.  We just got back from Kansas , whew what hot wheather that was.  We visited my neice, and her family on the Base.  We got to see alot of things down there, it was so hot though we only last 15-20 minutes at the zoo,  The kids were miserable.  I had yet again another wow moment for me, my husband was watching a movie he was into, and the hotel where we stayed had an outdoor pool, which before my now weightloss off 175 pounds, i wouldn't have gone to the pool without my husband for support, i said to him no worries, me and gavin will go.  I put my suit on we went down, and swam for an hour and a half before it got hot, and i was feeling pretty good about myself.  No one even looked twice at me you know the way i mean, like whooow she's big.  That in itself was a nice feeling.  My son and i had sooo much fun.  My husband told me he is so happy for me , and proud.  He said being married to me is like he has a whole new wife now.  He also told me he loved the old me, but he really loves the happy , outgoing new me.  We wne for another motorcycle ride when we got home, i love riding on our Harley with him, that was a big wish that came true. I am Loving life.  I thank god for my great surgeon , and nurses, and this surgery.  REALLY i am going to get some pictures on here.

God bless !

Today is a great day i have the next two days off from work, i am spending time with my son, we are going to the zoo, and i will be going on the rides with him, this is another one iof my goals, i am excited but scared, you know the feeling am i really going to fit in the rides with him.  I had a huge wow moment last night, i went to our hospitals informational meeting with a friend that wants to have this surgery done, i told her i will support her the whole way.  My nurse ended up being the leader of this meeting, so at the end past pt's came in to talk, and wouldn't you know it they pulled me up front, it felt great telling people that were in my shoes how much this has changed my life for the better, i met some really great people last night, Much love to them all!  Before i would never have gone up infront of anyone and talked, so it helped me get over or deal with some of my axiety issues.  Guess what i lived through it.! :O)

I did happen to have my side by side black and white picture so i passed that around and appologized for not being prepared.  I really wish everyone the best in there desicion in this surgery.  I just love living again.  I feel like i did when i was probably 13-14.  

God Bless!

I went in yesterday for my six month check up, my nurse said i was a star patient!  :O)
When we measured my waist i have lost 18 inches off of my waste can you beleive this, then she gave me a copy of a pic of the old me side by side with the new me, i was shocked, i didn't see myself looking like either picture.  I looked so tired and grumpy the old me, and now i look comfortable in my own skin and happy.
I went for a mototrcycle ride with my husband i usualy drive my own, but i thought why not, i tried his harley jacket on, and it fits perfect, i am in the process of getting some pictures down loaded on here , hopefully soo.  I cannot stress, This was the best thing i could have ever done for myself, and my family., I am finally living!!!! not just existing.  God bless all!
