Eric has been here since 12-15 & tommarrow I have to take him back to airport & I don't want to...I have enjoyed having him home so much..I feel like a Mom again..My youngest son did not come home & I sent his presents to him..I was so disappointed to not have both my sons home with me.. But I praise GOD that Eric wanted to come home & be with me..He is doing so well..We both got tats while he was home..on different days though. I have a pic of my tat in my pics section so click on the word pics under my picture & scan down to bottom & you can see it! Eric's is so awesome as well & you can see his on his pic section in his profile.It's Christmas & I have to work..I hate it.. I want to be home with Eric..I don't want him to leave..I am in tears because I want him to stay so bad..everytime he comes home the time flies by so fast..I just got used to having someone to dote upon..someone who needed me..then bam its over & he has to go back.. I am so proud of him & I am so grateful for this time I got to spend with him..Eric I love you so much & I am so proud to be your Mom..You make my life so much better than I could ever imagine..Thank you son for spending Christmas with me..it has been the 2 best weeks I have had in all of 2006. I miss you already & you are not gone yet..Please stay son..I know.. I know.. you can't The US Navy owns you right now.. I am so extremely proud of you Eric...Merry Christmas Eric & Merry Christmas Jesse.. I miss you too..I wish I could have come to see you..but the transmission is going out on my car & I sent you a box of presents..Hope you like them...I love you both so much & I'm proud of you both as well.. I MISS YOU BOTH SO MUCH! Love ~Mom

I just got home from Edmond & I am thrilled! I have lost 8 pouinds & have 8 more to go to be where the Dr. wants me to be! I am so over-joyed! It has paid off by sticking to my diet..well I messed up a little but I got back on track..I am so happy just had to share!

Well I am back..I just was looking at before & after photos here on the OH website & I got motivated again..It's so amazing the transformations these women & men have undergone! I want this surgery more now than ever..SO waiting alot longer is not going to be as bad..I mean I have carried this lard around this long..What's a few more months?? The thought of being thin again is so awesome..Eric said he is going to take me to the Buckle & buy me some new clothes..He is going to teach me how to dress hip! I need to find my neice Kasey's myspace deal..She is a dietician & she ised to do bariatrics & is highly upset with me for not telling her about my choice sooner..but I hope she will forgive me & she told me if I had any questions diet wise I could call on her & her Mom emailed me & told me that my neice Kasey has accepted a job  at a VA hospital in Boston..I'm so proud of her but I know my sister is going to have a rough time of it..until now all 3 of her girls lived in Oklahoma...Now Kasey is going to Boston.. I know all too well how it feels to have your kids in a different state in which you live..It is hard but I can say at least they are alive & well & happy & are doing very well..I am blessed to have both my sons in my life at any point.. Anyway I wanted to add this bit of an update..

Well I have not posted in a few days so I thought I had better catch up a bit.. The Drs office called & said that I had maxed out my benefits for outpatient so at..least for this last month of 2006 everything is put on hold. I still have to go to Edmond tommarrow for my 3-4 visits & will have to pay for these..If I don't go I have to start all over. I cancelled appt with cardiologist & will have to wait until after 1st of New Year before I can set it up again along with pulmonologist & also had to delay my sleep study & bloodwork..I am getting so discouraged..but I won't give up..So don't worry.. I am still on my diet & still doing my stretches & walking as much as I can handle. I wish this did not have to cost so darn much but its so worth it..I so want to be healthy..I'm supposed to meet with my Therapist in Ponca as well on Thursday so I am going to have to fenaggle some appointments so I don't miss any of them..I also have group meeting for WLS in Ponca tommarrow at 6pm...SO much to do.. ok ..Eric is coming home soon & he said last night he is going for a new rate & is hoping to someday soon become a Petty Officer...How awesome is that?? Totally awesome thats what it is.. I have not heard from Jesse :*(

The snow has been nuts..I dug a path & I managed to get out!
I drove very slowly to Ponca & made it to work on time. THANK YOU JESUS!!! I prayed for traveling grace before I left & HE protected me!
I have an appointment made with a cardiologist in Edmond next Friday..Provided the weather is better..I have to call weight wise & get my sleep study  set up for Thursday & my appointments with exersise & Kathy set up as well. SO much to do.. I miss my kids so much..:(
Well I am going to close for now..Be safe & stay warm.. ~Robin

I cancelled my appointments on Edmond due to the weather..I hate snow! I did talk to my patient advocate & she said that the Dr. wants me tohave cardilogist clearence & pulmonologist & I will have tohave a sleep study done & bloodwork as well..So the road to my WLS has lengthend but I'm sure it's going to be a road well worth the travel..Part of me wants to tuck tail & run because of the mounting costs..I pray I can afford all this..:(   Keep me in your prayers.. ~Robin

It's pouring rain & sleet & we are supposed to get snow tommarrow..Thank goodness Thursday & Fridays are my days off so I won't have to get out & drive in it..I am staying home & staying warm! I am almost off ciggs..Now that I take a whole pill of chantix..I get sick to my stomach when I smoke..it as really aggravated my ulcer big time..I went & got prilosec so I am hoping that helps..I am picking Monday  December 4th as my quit day..Pray it goes off without a hitch.. I have not had a pop in almost a week..I slipped on Thanksgiving or it would have been almost 2 weeks without any pop. My clothes are fitting looser so I am hopeful that when I go to the clinic I will have lost some weight..Can't have surgery until I do...I so hope I knocked some off! Well ttyl ~Robin 

p.s. as usual I have this posted at myspace as well

Well Thanksgiving has came & went & I did ok but could have done alot better..I fixed just a tiny bit of whatever food there was & it ended up being a full plate..I jumped right back on my diet & I am going to do better on Christmas. I have been sticking to my diet & I am not drinking pop & I am still taking Chantix to get me off ciggerettes..its helping because I some so much less now...I am going to pick a quit date & I will  be off them for good..I'm also trying to park further away from everything so I have to walk more...I am disappointed in myself on Thanksgiving to an extent..I got to get the ..well this is the last time I can pig out mentality out of my head..I got to get the I'm going to get healthy mentality going in my head & it won't seem like I am mourning the loss of my junk comfort food...I truly did not see how bad I was self medicating until I began the change towards my WLS. I still have not heard anything from the clinic as to if my insurance will cover any of it.. I am praying they will..I can't wait until I can get on here & say...better yet..scream..lol...I got a surgery date! Then I can't wait until that day...It will totally be the 1st day to the new me & I just can't wait!..Well I thought I would update a bit..Take care & God Bless & please pray for me to be able to have this surgery..And as usual I'm going to post this on my  myspace blog so if you are a friend on that list..please ignore me lol ~Robin

In case I don't post tommarrow I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! God bless  ~Robin

I have gone a whole week with no junk food at all! I am sticking to my diet & I have not had one pop at all today! NOTHING but water & my diet green tea "berry flavor" which is so good by the way! head aches are not as bad.. I still have not heard anything about the insurance or anything about my surgery..I am ansy.. well thats about it for now.. Just wanted to update a tad.. Please Lord let my insurance help me with this...I so want this surgery... If you are on myspace..you may see this reposted in there too...saves me time lol
