It's been a while since I wrote anything but, Ive been looking and reading up on everyone everyday.  You all look terrific as usual!!  as for myself, I feel so damn good.  My highest weight was 279 about a month before surgery and now I am 238!!!  I'm very happy with the results even though I have my battles everyday!  I'm beginning to feel like I'm finally getting the hang of things.  I was so scared for a while there.  I went through the typical, OMG this isnt working for me, I'm starving....etc.  But, I'm doing well now and everyday gets easier and easier.  I don't know how I would have survived if I didnt have your posts and advice to get me through my darkest moments.  I love you all and I will be putting up a little more recent pics as soon as I get my behind to settle down long enough to do it lol (I have so much energy).  I haven't felt this great in I don't even know how long- and I'm only 1 1/2 months out!!!!  Thanks :)

Words can not describe the joy I feel!!!!  Today I had PATS and I just SWORE something was going to keep me from my surgery-  but UH UH nothing did, YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!  It's a go for September 24th!!  In a couple of hours it will be ONE WEEK until my new birthdate!!  I feel sooo unbelievably blessed to have been given this second shot at life.   Thank you God!!!!

6 days until PATS and 14 'til surgery!!!!!!!   I'm not nervous yet but I am worried because I haven't loss all the weight.  But I'm out there walking my mile every night and have had chicken and veggies for my meals- shake for breakfast.  my weight is soooooo damn STUBBORN!!!  But, all I can do is pray and hope for the best, right?  Thank you all for listening.  Love ya ....JILL

Exactly one month until surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so busy reading all of youbeautiful people's posts that I neglect mine!  I don't HAVE to wait until October, THANK GOD!  I just pouted at work for a while and looked as "puppy dog" as I could, lol.  Anyway, the earliest work could let me have the time off is end of September-ish. SOOOOO my new date is September 24th.  I'm struggling very much on losing 10 simple damn pounds.  I am trying.  It's like one bite of a damn apple or something and I gain 2 pounds back!  Whats up with that?  September 16th is my PATs and I am very excited.  thats when reality is going to really hit me.  I'm so happy and sooooo impatient but, I'm trying to take this time to listen to my body and learn my bad patterns.  Anyway, I have to go all my lil lovlies!  Have a great day and TTYL!!

Well, yesterday morning Barix called and asked if I would like my date.  I said uhhhh YES.  We chose July 22 for pre-op and Aug.6 surgery.  I was so happy I started to tear up.  I hung up the phone and of course called and text a few of my friends and family who have been anxiously waiting as I have for a date.  One of the texts' being work.  Can you BELIEVE they told me they cannot approve my time until October?!?!?!?!?!?!   Our head nurse is leaving and so that makes us under staffed!  I'm telling you, no exaggeration, I went from crying happy tears to crying like it was the end of the world in a matter of 7 minutes!!!  I went into work today with A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E I know thats a little child-ish but, I didn't care I was PISSED because they knew this was going to happen and how important it is to me.  and BELIEVE ME they would be fine without me for a few weeks.  We are understaffed all the time!  So, yea, I'm crushed, torn up,  devastated, my lil heart is broken :(   Everyone PLEASE OH PLEASE say a little prayer for me that I can make it happen before october.  If not, I guess I'll just have to swallow it- grin and bare it.   Thanks for hearing me out.    

My name is Jill and I'm still waiting on my surgery date.  I am sooooo excited!  You all look AMAZING!!!  I have been big my whole entire life and knowing I'm going to do this is a dream come true.   I'm the girl that has heard all her life "oh but you have such a 'pretty face' "  (dontcha just hate that!!)   I quit smoking 3 months ago and have really packed on the pounds (20 to be exact!)  It was my first big step to getting healthy.  I wake up every morning and I can hardly walk to the bathroom from the pain!  Just my drive home from work kills me when I climb out of the car and take those first painful steps.  I am 35 years old and I feel 75.  I am feeling so down on myself ecspecially since the recent weight gain that I have been pretty much "hiding out" in my house.  I am afraid for people to see me.  I mean, I get up every day and go to work because I have to but I would really liketo climb in bed and let the world pass me by.  BUT of course that is not an option.  I have a family, friends and a great job.  But, most important 2 wonderful girls I need to be a role model to, which, is very  very hard when you feel lazy and lifeless.  I need to save myself and be the woman I know I was meant to be.   I read all your profiles and peep everyones pics on here and it is such an inspiration- I know it's meant for me, too.  Thank you all and keep up the good work!!!
