Wow I cant believe its been over two years now, I feel so good and healthy, I have not gained any weight back thank god but I am a workout freak, I love working out, I guess that helps. eating healthy and holding it together. Love my new life!!!!!

Hello my friends, Well its been a while but I'm still around, thank the lord I've had no complication and I am healthy. The surgery was the easy part< keeping it off is where all the work is. Keep in touch my friends, Id like to know how you are all doing, Im here for you. I posted some new picture"s check them out.

Well my friends, I've been doing really good, I've lost over 65lbs, I've been lagging on the working out because of all the activities I've been doing with my kids, we've been going to the lakes and camping etc. I feel great no complication at all thank God,

I am 3 months post-op I've lost over 50lbs and I feel great, I am walking a mile 3 to 4 times a week and very active with the family, I can't explain how happy I am, I feel so much better, more energy, sleep better, no more swollen feet, etc..... I go to my support meeting's once a month and they really do help alot, I learn something new every time, "Down fall's" Nope none at all, I can eat basically anything I want, of course I am staying away from fried and bad foods,  I put up some recent picture's of me check it out,  Later my friends.

I'm feeling good, no problems just sticking to my doctor's orders. I went back to work  after two 1/2 weeks but doctor put me on lite duty, it's all good,  still on soft foods, it's getting a little boring but the sugar free Popsicle get me through my day's. Can't wait to eat shrimp mmmmmmm, I have not really craved an-thing yet but of course the shrimp I love sea food . As far as working out a tiny little workout, I walk and stand allot at work so I consider that working out for now, but when my doctor releases me to working out get out of my wayyyyyy, I love tae boe, Billy Blake is my man hehe ,  My next appointment is May 14th @ 9:40, I will give you an update. Peace out my friends .

Today I had some mashed potato's and It was sooooooo good!!!! if you are on the soft food diet you  have to try it.

Recipe

small potato
butter (I can't believe it's not )
low-fat milk
vegetable broth
salt and pepper
parsley flakes
shredded medium cheese

wrapped the potato in a plastic bag make sure you wash the potato, and make sure the bag has no holes, we used a market bag, put in microwave for 4 minutes. Once you take it out scrape the potato out with a spoon not using the skin, put it in a bowl and smash with a fork, then add butter, low-fat milk little salt and pepper, parsley and vegetable both, put in a bowl and add the cheese on top. Omg!! it is good.

Okay my friends, today was my first doctor vi site, I lost 13lbs WOWO!!!!! (I am so happy) my doctor put me on the soft food diet so that was also exciting for me. I know I will get creative with it. When I left the office I went to the store (Fresh @ easy) and bought me some foooooood, hehe!   first thing I did when I got home was cooked me a scrambled egg, I was excited as i was cooking it but when i sat down to eat it I was truly scared, I was not sure how my new stomach was going to take it, I ate it very slowly and it went down good NO Problems, so from here on I am going to try a  new soft food once a day and once I can tolerate all the new soft foods that's when I'm going to get creative 

 My first doctor appointment is tomorrow 4-23-09, I am hoping he will change my liquids to soft foods, I feel great and I've lost about 12lbs since my surgery WOWO!!! OMG!!! I just wanna scream with happiness, I'm on the road to feeling great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay my friends, I finally had my surgery 4-15-09, thank "God" It went great!! It was actually a piece of cake. I am 6 day's post op and I feel wonderful. I was denied twice before I was approved. I actually took charge of my life and did not want to here that I would not be able to have my surgery I did not give up for sh@# I did alot of research myself and lot's of faxing info. , phone call's, (surgeon's office and Insurance company) going back to all of my doctor visite's from the past ten years, etc. "I FINALLY DID IT" my friends, Now is the weight lost. I will keep everyone posted and If there is anyway I can help  or if anyone has any question's please talk to me I'm here for you and I will tell the truth.   Piece out

Friday 11-14-08 I did all my testing for pre-op. and today I went to my first support group, it went really good. I learned alot. Now i'm waiting to hear from my doctor's office. Cross your finger's , everything seem's to be going good for me again. I got back on my feet..... Not going to give up
