Ok so I have been waking up around 330 to 530 every day for about 2 wks. and it seems that as long as I keep moving I feel good. But when I push my self I feel FANTASTIC!!!!! crazy!! I think it is mental because of the seance of freedom and accomplishment I get form doing things all on my own now :) . I took my kids to school and had to wait the 2 hrs there for my 9 yr old to get his 2 hours done for the day.we live so far from the school that it would take to much gas in my Yukon other wise.) . then i came home straightened up  the kitchen feed him lunch. Then I took him over to my oldest sons home (he is 25 ) to spend the afternoon. An I came home an just totally cleaned our utility room and loaded a BUNCH of stuff to donate today at the local thrift store. In all honesty I can not remember the last time that I was able to do half of this in a entire day much less by 1;30. I am  soooo proud of Me!

   I have just posted on here once or twice.But it's something I am going to start doing. I think it will help me in many ways, and if you all see things that help you or  you can help me  that will be great! :) Rite now I have been stuck in a plato which I posted about and got some really good advice. ( which I need to thank people for .) One big thing I had for gotten is that as we gain muscle mass the scale will not go down as muscle weighs more than fat. So that made me feel some better. And I will change things up for a while and work at getting some extra water in. that always seems to help.
   I walked 2 miles yesterday w/my kids and was sooo happy. I have not been able to walk that far in years :-) !Today we went for another walk but only half a mile. My body was like no ya don't lady not 2 days in a row. (that an with the extra water i have to pee every 5 minutes. ha-ha.)but my joints do feel loser sense that little walk. And it really makes me feel like my head is clearer. yesterday my 9 yr old son said "mom if you do this 2 times a week you'll have that big belly gone in no time :) ! " All I could do was smile.
    Having this surgery is the first thing I have ever done just for me. At first some days before surgery were a struggle. During and after I had some pretty bed complications......BUT I would do it all AGAIN in a heart beat.
     I have my life back- I am back- back to being me!!! It's been way to many years sense I have seen this fun, crazy,  loving woman. to be honest I didn't realize how much I had missed her.
   One that note i will close this post ........ Many thanks and love to all of you and the pioneers of this life giving surgery.

Hi folks . I have noticed that my surgury date is listed as being in febuary. But I didn't have it tell june. Does any one know how to fix it I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks bunches

How long till this acid stops dumping? my back side is screaming! ugh. I am taking the acid meds but they dont seem to touch it.

OK so I had surgery on June 6Th. My doctor did great. I on the other hand lost allot of blood. And as it turns out my stomach lining is 3X's as thick as a normal tummy. I spent 15 days in the hospital. I went in really believing that it would be no big deal. A easy in and out procedure. I now realize I was not very realistic. I am roughing it now,but have faith that it will get better. although i have to ad mite the third time I had to go back t the e.r. with high fever ,and my lil girl said mommy" i don't think this was a good idea.'' I said rite now baby neither do I.
It's a choice I am still glad I made. I just wish I had not had such a "looking at life thru rose colored glasses" attitude about it all. 
thanks for listening    Hugs ......    Marty

     Hi every one ! I have not been on here for months literaly.
      My 9 yr old has been very sick. Bad enough we were sent to K.C. to Childrens Mercy hosp.But don't worry all is fine now. (or at least managable.)
    I got thru with the psychological part of the pre-op and received the o.k. to move forward. I am VERY excited to be going to the next "step". While i am MORE than grateful for the friends I have already made here I would LOVE to make more. PLEASE feel free to contact me. I truly enjoy every ones posts.
