Finally below200!!!
Jan 07, 2011
Well, I finally got below 200lbs. I am so elated! I will
post some pics later today. This has been such a good
decision I made! It has given me my life back. I have
not been below 200 since before my son was born and
he is 26 now. I have so much more energy. I am trying
to find some work out machines to buy. You know like
exercise bike or rower. I like the step ones too. Life
has been so easy lately,it scares me! I Thank GOD for
his BLESSINGS!
Nice Day
Nov 09, 2010
Today has turned out to not be too bad. I seem to have
more energy today and I don't hurt as bad. I am struggling
to try to get in enough liquids and eat 6 small meals. Does
anyone have any tips? LOL. Overall, I am hoping that I
will soon be able to start seeing a loss in weight. It will
be a week tomorrow. How has your weight loss started?
Was it slow the first week or two? Also, need some good
recipes for the pureed diet. Will be glad when on month
is up! Will write more later.

My Journey began.....
Nov 08, 2010
Well, my journey really and truly began last Wed. I had my surgery
At MUSC. I had problems with breathing,b/p,diabetes and about
anything else that could come back. But, thankfully I finally got
better and have been home one day. I am very weak and still hurting
some. Not real bad but hurting just the same. Trying to get sorted out
so I can make sure I get enough of liquids and proteins. I keep looking
at scales and little disappointed that I haven't lost . When do you start
losing? Anyway, I am still thankful that I was able to fulfill my dream
and have this wls surgery done. Will write more later. Thanks to every
one for their prayers!

Well, the closer I get to Nov.3rd (surgery date) I am
having anxiety ! It is hard to believe that it is really
right around the corner. I have prayed and prayed for
this for so long.I know there is going to be days full
of head hunger but I know that my new life is going
to be so great. Now, I hope that I can get everything
I need together for the hospital stay. My son is
taking me to Charleston and staying with me. He is
such a "rock" for me. I am certainly "BLESSED"!
Please let me know any suggestions ya'll could
give me for the first few weeks. Or even just the
hospital stay. Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Surgery Date
Oct 01, 2010
I have finally gotten a surgery date for Nov. 3rd. I am so happy!! This has been a long process but now that its right here,I am overwhelmed! My son is going to go
and stay with me at hospital. Without his love and support none of this would be
possible. I know I have read lots of testimonials asking this same question but
exactly what do I need to take to hospital? I am having the surgery done at MUSC in Charleston,SC and so that is a 2 1/2 hr. drive. Cant believe that my new life
is about to happen. The LORD has blessed me! Please give me lots of advice!!
My Dreams are coming true
Aug 31, 2010
Well, things are coming together nicely for me. I am getting so excited that I get nauseous. I finish the Preop program at MUSC the first week of Oct. In the meantime, I am going to be working on all the appointments with the nutritionist ,psychologist, and support groups, then when Oct. comes all we will have to do is send info to Medicare! This is something that I have been working
on mentally and physically. My approach has been to do something about my situation(all my medical prob.) instead of feeling sorry for myself. I just had to write and put in words how excited I am! Will keep you updated!

The Beginning of my journey
Apr 12, 2010
Last Thursday,April 8,2010, I began the process needed to
have the WLS. I enrolled in the Preop Program at MUSC.
I was so nervous for some reason. I think I was just happy
that I was beginning my journey to a new life. Have to say
too I almost tripped and fell on the concrete parking lot. My
Grandson,Alex, thought it was hilarious. I was falling so I
grabbed out and grabbed a rose bush that had many
thorns! Let me tell you, it wasn't a pretty sight! Well, I will
write more next week when I go back to see the Doctor.

Then I can be one of you who have done so well with your weight loss. I know that this isn't going to b e a piece of cake but what is that is worthwhile? I will certainly let ya'll know more as it happens. Have a great EASTER!!!!
