I AM STILL STANDING! Thank you Lord!
Apr 27, 2011
Good morning to all!
It's been awhile since I last post, but that is just who I am "not must of a writer". I hope everyone is doing GREAT. I have my good days and my bad days, but I am still hanging in there. I now have a personal trainer and he is really working me out. My anniversity date is May 13, 2011, and I am still losing but slow, more inches than weight. When I first start this Journey, I was weighing 416, I am now holding at 278lbs, but still losing inches. I went from a size 30-32 to a size 18 -20 depending on the type of material, but its ok. I am enjoying life even more now. Some of the things that I could not do in the beginning, I am now doing. Giving all the glory to God.

Hello to all: It's been a while since I posted to the site. Well I am doing very good with my Sleeve. God has been so good to me. I am so excited that I had the surgery on May 13, 2009, I will be 1 year out next Thursday, and I am down 118lbs. I must say that exercising is very important. I was not getting a lot in, but now I am. I am just so thankful going from a size 30/32 and some 26/28 to 20. I hope all of you'll are still in good spirit and keeping faith. Sometimes the roads get rough, but I am holding on. I will post so new pictures soon. Good luck to all.

Rocking that Sleeve!
Sep 03, 2009
Hello OH Family! Just stopping thru to say hello and keep you'll posted. I am doing well with my sleeve. 3 months 3 days post-op and I am 64lbs lighter and loving it . I have lots of energy. I still don't eat much, but that's a good thing. I finally can take all of my vitimans and eating lots of protiens. I do need more exercise in my daily schedule, so I am joining a dance class along with the Gym today.
God Bless all of you!
Pam, Loving my Sleeve!

Hello OH Family! Hope all is well with everyone. I did my 2 month follow-up on Friday July 10, 2009, and all is good. I learned that without me getting at least 1200 calories that I was not going to lose the weight quickly. I am now 58 1/2 pounds down with lots of energy. I am now monitoring my intake of food alot better with sparkpeople. I will keep everyone posted.
Good luck to all, and God bless!

All Things are Possible with God on your side!
May 16, 2009
Hello OH family,
Well I wanted to thank everyone for the prayers and provide an update on my surgery. A special thanks to my Cousin, who has been by my side.
I did it! Yes I was nervous and scared, but I was also excited.
I was schedule to be at the hospital at 6:30 and surgery was suppose to be at 8:30 my Dr. arrived at 9:30. Dr Brody is so professional, he came back to see me before the procedure and apologized for being late.
Within 15 minutes I was taken to the operatoring room waiting to be put out. When I woke up, I didn't know that I had the surgery already. I had back pain from lying there so long but that was it.
I kept asking what time am I going to have my surgery because it was getting late. My Dr. said you are done and on your way to your room with your family. He said everything went well!
The only pain that I am having is gas and discomfort. I am drinking more water and juice now. I am walking around my house alot, but I am staying tired. I was told that is expected as long as I walk to the bathroom and not just lay around, I shouldn't have any problems with blood clots. My plan is to walk more and more each day.
Hugs and Kisses!

Super Happy!
May 12, 2009
Thank God I am now counting down the hours before surgery! Went to the Dr.'s office on April 23, 2009 and had gained 6lbs not happy at all. I was determining to get those 6lbs and more off before my surgery. That put my weight at 396. I went back for my final pre-op on May 8, 2009, and had lost 16lbs I was so happy I wanted to cry. Yes I could feel the difference. I got on the scale this morning May 12 and it said 377.5lbs another 2.5lbs gone, I could not believe it. Yes, I am going to make this happen. I can't wait to join the loser's bench. I am asking that my OH family keep me in prayer.
I will keep you'll posted .
God Bless!
