Well it has been awhile since I have visited this site and thought that I should share updates with everyone.  As you can see from my pictures I had a little girl Aug 2, 2008 and she was truly a blessing she was my main reason for really looking into bariatric surgery in the first place I kept getting tired of my GYN saying you need to lose weight if you want to get pregnant. So finally did the research and had my surgery April 7, 2006. And was the best choice ever only regret was that I wish I had it sooner I waisted so much time when i could of been a mom alot sooner .

I do believe that things happen for a reason and there is always a time and place for things and I guess my time wasnt til 2006.

So far we are doing very well my daughter is almost 2 and my fiancee and I are finally getting married May 7, 2011. He has been a true god sent he truly loved me unconditionally we have been together for 6 years so he loved me large and now he loves me small.  

Just remember when reading this blog that anything is possible as long as you believe.



Hugs and Kisses

Hello Everyone,

I just thought since I hadn't updated my profile since Decemeber that I would do so today.....It is so hard to believe that a year has gone by and I am feeling great.........

I love the new me and I love my new life,  My boyfriend and I have gotten the go ahead to start trying to have a child so I am so excited.  That is the news that I wanted, that was one of many reasons for me having the surgery in the first place......

As far as everything else goes things could not be any better. I feel so blessed to have my life back, for once I control food and it does not control me anymore. 

Went shopping in an outlet mall this past weekend, for the first time since my surgery....It was amazing to go into regular stores and be able to pick anything off the rack and be able to wear it without worrying if it would fit because it was the biggest size they carried, not anymore I can go into any store and try on any thing and it is the most remarkable feeling one could have when you have been heavy your whole life.

For once I feel normal, and I truly can say I love all of me.....

Well until next time, I wish you all love peace, and great success...THE JOURNEY STILL CONTINUES.........................................................

hugs and kisses
Lisa

Well I just wanted to let everyone who reads our profiles that this surgery is a miracle and a blessing from our father above I have offically lost 77 pounds since april 7th the day of my surgery. And I cant begin to express what I feel I am actually starting to like who I am on the outside. I have always loved who I was on the inside but never liked the outside. Who knows I may just learn to love myself on the outside as well then I know I will be able to find true love because they say you cant love someone else until you truly love yourself. UNTIL NEXT TIME..............THE JOURNEY CONTINUES...................................................

Well I haven't updated my profile in a month and alot has happen since then I have finally reached my 3rd goal for myself and that was to lose 50 pds I reached that goal on may 30th I had lost exactly 50 pds and as of today 9 weeks out I have offically lost (drum roll Please) 55 pds it has been such an amazing journey and I have no regrets for having this surgery. It has been a life saver,I feel so much better than I have felt in a very long time. I did have my first test of true dumping last week I tried something new like pork baby back ribs and wow let me tell you it wasnt fun threw up for the first time and I dont want to feel that way again I was so sick but other than that I have been blessed with the food I can eat I still eat very healthy I dont eat any junk mostly protein and some crackers but I really am trying to make my life different then before I dont want to ever go back to way things use to be or the weight I use to be either. I pretty much eat what I want now have no restrictions which is good still havent tried sugar and dont really have the desire to. I am very content with the sugar free things. WEll that is my story for now until next time.......................THE JOURNEY CONTINUES..............................

Hello My April family well I wanted to give you all another update I have officially met my first goal and that was to be under 300# I am 298 so that makes my loss 40 pds in 6 weeks I am exstatic this is an amazing journey I cant wait for the next goal...........until next time.......................THE JOURNEY CONTINUES......................

Well, I haven’t posted anything in my profile in a while and apologize to those that read and get information from us......this is my latest I have had my surgery 3 weeks ago today and have done well it has been a hard struggle these 3 weeks but I knew it was worth it all when I went for my 2 week follow-up and lost 26 pds that was amazing to me, I was so shocked I cried........ and I am off all my meds my pressure is 109/70 it is great I dont have to take meds except for the ones from the surgery what a great feeling. I am still having a hard time eating protein but my surgeon is allowing me to start on soft solids now so that is great I tend to get really nauseous when I try new things, but I keep trying cause I know I need to get my protein in, anyhow for those of you considering the surgery let me say at first I was wondering if it was worth it now I know it was worth it and I am so looking forward to my new journey filled with ups and downs but the end result a new healthier me..........hugs and love to all till next time......THE JOURNEY CONTINUES.....................

Well I finally got my approval, today it is a great feeling to know that I will be on the losing side as of April 7th, 2006 Have a lot of emotions running and I am scared excited, anxious all the above but I know this is all normal, so anyhow I just thought I would type a little note to update thanks for all the support......

Feb 25, 2006
Well I haven’t really wrote anything lately and it is just because I really don’t have anything to report I am just in the waiting stages before my surgery, getting everything prepared for that day, getting all the ducks in a row guess you could say I have had some yo-yo emotions that I think all go through and I know as it gets closer the nerves will kick in but I am giving it to god to see me through all of this and I know with him I cant go wrong....... anyhow probably wont write in my profile until it gets a bit closer to the date....thanks to all who read and I hope to be a inspiration to at least one person....... take care and god bless you all.
