Hi Everyone, well thought that I would update a little. I am doing great. The weight loss is rather slow, I have lost 4 more pounds making me at a 108 pound weight loss. The inches I have not measured in awhile. I will do that soon. I am still going to the YMCA and doing my water Aerobics and loving it. I just posted some pics of my NEW PORCELAIN VENEERS.... I am really excited about my new smile by Dr. Chastain. He is the BEST!! Anyone out there want Veneers in Oklahoma just let me know and I will give you Dr. Chastain's number. He gave me my smile back. I will have the rest of my Porcelain Veneers and my bottom partials  within 2 1/2 weeks. I cannot wait. Check out my Silly Pictures and before and after teeth pictures.

Great NEWS!! I bought me a new bike, to go bike riding. The first time that I got on it and rode (it's been like 30 years since I rode) the neighbors stood outside and applauded and were saying, "GO REBA" it was a big WOW moment for me. Life is so wonderful, everyday I cannot wait to get up in the morning and go exercise. Now that sounds so weird to type that, cause I always hated exercise. I did really that I was overdoing it a bit. I have been having alot of pain in my back, my trainer say I was suppose to do 3 sets of 8 to 12 exercises a day on each machine and I was doing 3 sets of 20 to 40 exercises per machine. So I was really hurting in my back. So I guess to much can be bad for you. So I have slowed down and now I am doing better. Well I will sign off until next time. Have a great week. HUGS Reba

First of all I'd like to say Happy 13th Birthday to my Special Godson Ryan. GODMOMMA REBA  LOVES YOU RYAN!!

Well for the first time I think that I experienced a real bad pouch problem Wednesday Night 4 days ago. I really thought that I was gonna have to go to the ER. I had eaten a plum (way to fast I think) and I went to bed and I took a Lortab (pain Pill) and a Ranitidine (stomach Pill) because I was in pain from some dental work done that day. And I started hurting so bad, I knew it was stuck and My Mom called Jerry (my Brother He's a Minister) and told him to pray and  Mom laid hands on me and prayed, (God bless praying Momma's) then she called Wanda my sister (she had the same surgery about 13 years ago) and she told me to sip some warm salt water, well I was in pain for about 2 hours and finally it left and I went to sleep. Now I know what everyone is talking about when they have this kind of pain. I really thought that I was dying.... so lesson learned... CHEW.....CHEW...CHEW...

Well I just updated some 10 months post-op pictures. I have lost 104 pounds and feels absolutely wonderful. My life is so different now. I never thought that I could feel so great. I feel that my weight loss has slowed down alot and I am at a very long plateau. So I have started drinking protein shakes, instead of eating and I believe that this is what I need. I have been doing my water aerobics three times a week and also working with my weight trainer Jason, I joined the FitLinxx interactive workout program and they train you how to use the proper techniques to lose in the areas they you need it most. I do that 5 days a week, and I know that it's hard to believe but I miss going on Saturday and Sundays. I do know that by doing my workouts that I am losing in inches rather than by pounds cause my clothes are getting baggy....
Another thing that I am very proud of right now is that I am getting alot of work done on my teeth, I started last month and I will be getting my lower partials for the bottom teeth. And I have two appointments this weeks to get an impression for my Porcelain Veneers, and to have some more fillings done. Dr. Chastain says that I should have it all done by Thanksgiving. I really hate my teeth so much and I cannot wait to have a pretty smile. My teeth are so small and I never like my teeth. Most of the time I will not smile when I take a picture, cause I hate my teeth. Maybe with my next update I will have a picture smiling. After all this is done next comes the Laser Surgery....lol....
I feel for the first time in my life I am doing something for me. I cannot wait to get a tummy tuck and the Boobs done.. But I guess I will have to wait another year for that. I really am not sagging like I thought that I would. I really think that the Water Aerobics, Toning tables and the FitLinxx workout system has really hepled me on that. So I do believe you guys that exercise does help alot.... Again I would like to say that I praise God everyday for a second chance at life, without him I know that none of this would have been possible. Until next time God Bless..

I am so sorry everyone that I could not post the pictures right on the forum. But I do know how to put them in PHOTOS. So please look in Photos for pic of Jasmine....HUGS REBA

 On another note I have lost 96 pounds, have not added the inches in about 3 months,but I have been going to water aerobics and toning tables so the inches should be coming off too. I do have some updated pictures taken july 4th 2007. I FEEL WONDERFUL!!

Hi Everyone, It has been so long since I posted on here. Life seems to be going so fast. Went to Missouri to visit my family and had a great time. Stayed at my Sister Wanda's. Mom's legs were swollen so bad, so she sit alot. I think she had a great time. I did real good, did not gain any weight, tried to stay on my high protein foods. Drank alot of water and lemonaide. I have lost so far 92 pounds (my sisters scales says 95 pounds) I like her scales better..lol...I have lost 112 inches. I go to water aerobics and Tan and Tone. I feel wonderful, better than I have felt in 20 years. I am almost 50 and feel 30. I have so much energy, this surgery is the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I would do it all over again if I had to. anyway guys I am putting some new pic's on here of me and my new look....love you guys Reba
