I'm home

Hello OH,  I'm home! All is well, just trying to walk, walk, walk, and sip, sip, sip. I will write more details of my surgery day and hospital stay later. God bless!

Pre-Op Testing

Jul 16, 2007

I went to my pre-op testing today. I got to meet some of the other pre-ops at my surgeon's office. They did a bone scan, and I found out that I have a slight calcium deficiency. I am ready to fight that though. The good Lord told me to buy some Viactiv chews this weekend, and I did. People, when God speaks, LISTEN! The pre-op lasted all day. I got blood drawn, a chest x-ray, and an EKG. So, I'm all good to go. I was worried because my blood pressure had been high all weekend. My PCP told me they might cancel my surgery if I didn't get my blood pressure down. So she upped my dose of medicine. When my pressure was taken, I was told that it was slightly high, but they would proceed with the surgery tomorrow as planned. Plus, I found out today that I lost 10 pounds!!!! God is good, all the time! All the time, God is good! As of 7/16/2007, my weight is 348.6 lbs! No, I am not rounding that to 349 when I worked hard to get to 348.6! LOL. Well my OH family, the next time you will be hearing from me, I will be sitting on the loser's bench. So scoot over and make some room for me! May God continue to bless each one of you as you continue on your WLS journey.


Words to Ponder

Jul 14, 2007

I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something.
But I can't accept not trying.
Michael Jordan 

          Sometimes you've got to let everything go-purge yourself.....If you are unhappy with anything....whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.  
Tina Turner
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Booker T. Washington

"Imagine Me"

Jun 13, 2007

KIRK FRANKLIN LYRICS

"Imagine Me"

Imagine me
Loving what I see when the mirror looks at me cause I
I imagine me
In a place of no insecurities
And I'm finally happy cause
I imagine me

Letting go of all of the ones who hurt me
Cause they never did deserve me
Can you imagine me?
Saying no to thoughts that try to control me
Remembering all you told me
Lord, can you imagine me?
Over what my mama said
And healed from what my daddy did
And I wanna live and not read that page again

Imagine me, being free, trusting you totally finally I can...
Imagine me
I admit it was hard to see
You being in love with someone like me
But finally I can...
Imagine me

Being strong
And not letting people break me down
You won't get that joy this time around
Can you imagine me?
In a world (in a world) where nobody has to live afraid
Because of your love fears gone away
Can you imagine me?

Letting go of my past
And glad I have another chance
And my heart will dance
'Cause I don't have to read that page again

Gone, gone, it's gone, all gone
