Well Hi everyone!
It's been a very long time.
How is everyone?
I have been so busy with my family and school and stuff. Everything is going great. I am student teaching this semester and will finally graduate in May!!!
All the lesson plans and classroom planning. I feel overwelmed. 
I'm  still really happy with my weight loss. I think i should have lost more then i have, But it's still coming off really slow. I'm not complaining though, because I am so much better off then I was 5 1/2 months ago.
I will NEVER go back to were i was. Praise God!

Wow,

It's been a long time since i've been here. I am on Christmas break from school.  I have one semester till I graduate.YEAH!!
In January I start student teaching  at headstart. I am soooo excited. 
I feel like A different person. Actually I feel like who  I alsways thought i was I've just been lost for the last few years. I look and feel so different. I have absolutely no regrests. Then again I have had NO Problems AT ALL.

I pray that others are feeling as good as I. I beleive that this surgery was perhaps the best thing I have done for my self or my family in a liong long time.

I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!
This surgery is such a blessing. I haven't actually lost weight in a couple of weeks. I guess that s okey?? thats what others tell me any way. I'll start to lose again soon.  
I feel so much better. I feel human again. Not like a walking blob. lol!!
I am down 35 lbs on my home scale. 

I would do this again in a second. I forget why I was soooo scared.

Well been home a few day's now.  What a long week.  My surgery took 4 hours.  I was in recovery for like 3 more because they didn't have a room for me.  I know in the end I will be happy but now I wonder .

I must say    the drain tube...  bothers me
                       not one time have I even felt hungry
                       actually always full........ Am I drinking to much water?
                       my blood sugar and blood pressure are all over so I adjust  my 
                       meds. Hopefully I won't need them at all soon



My family has been incredible. I haven't cleaned or cooked. I just wander around.  I know reality has to hit soon, and I will need to do something LOL.
My husband brang all the kids to the hospital one day. It was so nice. I was having a rough day pain and worry. Aeeing my babies made it all better. 


Thank God for such a wonderful husband and childlren.

                      

I tewenty four hours I will be getting ready to leave, for the hospital. Wowo. I am actuallyu going through with it.   It seems amazing, God has given me a chance to troake care of my self. And to overcome so many bad habits. I truely think that seeing me do this will help my children to not go the same hard road that I did. I am GOING To break this cycle with my family. I  don't want them to be facing obesity and surgewry when they are older. I want tham to be able to see shat I have gone through. And realize It's better to change bad habits now! I want to be a way  for them to learn that proper meals and proper eating are soo important. 

I want to thank everyone for support and prayers. I love you all!

Well I spent the morning in Toledo doing the advanced admission and all the lab  work. Not to bad. Except I was sure I was going to puck the thick barium. It was like .....ugh!!! i don't know what it was like, lol. 


What really sucks is I came done with a cold. Yesterday Now what. i guess I need to call the Dr. I hope we won't cancel  !?!?!?!?

I met the surgeon today. He and Cathy are very nice. I have my schedeuled surgery date for the 17th of September. That's coming very quickly!! Lot's  to do before then and I don't want to stress myself out over fears and worries. 

It's all good.

Christy just called and said she got my approval. She said Dr. White's office will be calling in the next day or so. Then I need to schedule with the physical therapist!

whoohoot.
My psyc called today. She cleared my evaluation.  She will be faxing the Dr. today.  I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere! Although it's only been 2 months since I started the process - it feels like forever.

So I went to the nutritionist the other day Wednesday the 15th. Every thing os good there just waiting on psyc for evaluation results hoping to get a phone call today!! I am reeally try'n hard not to let this weight loss decision consume all my thoughts. I have school starting again in less then a week. So much to do. getting myself and the kids ready.
