Hi All,

It's just like they say, I can't believe it's been so long since i have been here!!!

I am doing well. I am down 75 pounds and a size 10/12. I am no longer "Obese!" I now register as slighty overweight! I am having trouble finding clothes in my closet that fit me...This is a good thing and NOT complaining! I love it! I love trying to figure out what to wear nowadays! And i love clothes shopping!

I hope you all are well and healthy!

God Bless!

Just a quick note today...down 57 pounds and size 12!!! Can't believe it and feeling real good! God Bless to all my losers out there! Check out the new Toby Mac cd "Portable Sounds!" It is awesome! Go Toby!

Live in GRACE all and if you don't know how, just ask me!!!

GOD BLESS,

Pamela 

Hi All,

It is truly amazing how fast the time goes by...I am now down 50 pounds! Now i was thinking that 50 pounds is a great place to be but i still see myself as being fat. The past Sunday was a wonderful WOW Day and now it's all good! 
I have been cleaning out the kids rooms and closets. I decided i should probably work a little on my own. I have a large walk-in closet and it was packed high/competely to the top. I probably have 40+ pairs of pants/jeans and tops. I thought i would just try on one pair of pants but i knew they would never fit. I have heard this before but now it is my turn to say, they either fit OR were way too big! I spent the entire day in the closet and doing a fashion show for my girls. I had pants that i had bought on previous diets years ago that never came close to fitting. Now they are in the large bags of give aways because they were way too big! What a wonderful feeling! I feel like i just had a shopping spree in my own closet! My Levi's...fat people don't like jeans because they are so uncomfortable...Now i love my Levi's!!! I can't wait to shower and get dressed! I am very excited about this as you all can relate. What a feeling...
I wish you all the best! God Bless you all!

Hi All,

Just another update. I am now 11 weeks out and down 45 pounds! When people find out that i've had the surgery, they always ask me why? That i don't look like someone who should have it. Makes one feel good. BMI is down and i am now just Obese! 

I make sure that i either walk or ride my horse every day. This covers my exercise. I also drink 2 servings of Unjury in the am to ensure that i get all of my Protein in! I try to remember to ask myself if i am eating because I'm hungry or because my head is telling me to.

I found some pants in my closet that i couldn't wear any longer because they were too tight. They now fit loosely! And i can cross my legs comfortably!

The only negative at this moment is that my Iron is very low. This is a result of bleeding out after surgery. I am working on bringing it up.

God Bless you all and hang in there! Every time you get discouraged, go to the store and pick of bags of potatoes equal to the amount you have lost. Use this as a reminder and to help you keep it up.

Just an update...i am 5 weeks out and have lost 32 pounds! All is well. I don't dump (thank God) but i also watch my sugar. All foods have agreed with me so far. I am finally starting to notice a difference!

God's Blessings To All!

Love Pamela

I am so thankful that the time seems to be flying by! I am feeling much better now, physically and mentally! Today i move to the next diet stage! I am so excited! I am having scrambled egg with cheese for breakfast. It tastes so good! I weighded in this am and i am now down 25 pounds! Amazing! I just wish i would loose more off my hips and buttom. In time...

Love to all my losers!

Pamela

I had my one week checkup and i have lost 20 pounds! I was shocked! I am feeling much better and thank God i haven't had any eating issues. On Tuesday, i get to move to stage 3. Which means i get to eat smashed potatoes and gravy, turkey and all the fixings! The amount will be small but i am so grateful!

God Bless!

Ok all...here is my take...What the hell did i do to myself? After surgery, i was projectile vomiting blood out of my mouth and my bottom. They immediately took me off the blood thinners to try and control it. When they were wheeling me in, i kept thinking to myself, "Stopppppp!!!!" I am a healthy person so what am i doing. For me, this was a wrong decicions but hopefully in time i while change my mind. There is no going back....i am happy for those who knew this was the right choice and/or those who didnt have any comps!

Pamela

Well, i can't believe the big day is almost here. As second thoughts go through my mind and my beautiful daughter begs me to change the decision...I will wrap this up before i have to run back to the bathroom. The phoso crap that i am supposed to drink...i hope it is ok but i could only drink 1 1/2 bottles. There was just no way i could get that last 1/2 down. I felt like i was on fear factor...gag! The antibiotic that the doc gave me is making me sick to my stomach. So i will close for now and try to call it a night. We have to leave by 4 am to make it to the hospital by 5:30. I will see you all on the loser's side. God please guide the hands of our surgical staff and bring us through this procedure safe and healthy. I pray for a speedy and uncomplicated recovery! God bless us all! In your precious, precious son's name!
Love to all my LOSERS and losers to be!
Pamela
