WELL IT IS ONE YEAR TODAY THAT I HAD SURGERY. YES SOMEDAYS I LOVE IT AND SOMEDAYS I WANT IT OUT OF ME BUT I HEAR THIS IS NORMAL . I AM NOT AT MY IDEAL WEIGHT AND FILL. I HAVE HAD COMPLICATIONS BUT HAVE NOT LET THEM STOP ME. I LOVE MY NEW LIFE. I CANT BELIEVE THAT I CAN DO SO MANY THINGS AND HAVE SUCH A GREAT SUPPORT GROUP OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WELL THIS IS SHORT BUT WHAT I CAN END WITH IS I AM HEALTHY, HAPPY AND EVEN WITH THE DOUBTS AND TRIALS IN MY LIFE I AM SO GLAD I HAVE THE BAND IN ME. GOODBYE FOR NOW.

12-31-7 WELL IT IS THE END OF THE YEAR AND WHAT A YEAR IT WAS. I HAVE WENT THUR A TON OF CHANGES AND HAVE A TON MORE TO GO THUR. I FEEL GREAT. I AM DOWN TO 261LBS AND THAT IS AMAZING SEEING THE THE HIGHEST WEIGHT I KNOW OF WAS 327LBS. I AM NO LONGER DIABETIC, WORK 2 JOBS, DATE AND GO OUT WITH FRIENDS AND HAVE FUN. THE LAP BAND SURGERY WAS THE BEST THING I DID FOR MY SELF. I STILL HAVE 59LBS TO GO TO MY GOAL. I SET IT FOR 200LBS BECAUSE I REALLY HAVE NO CLUE WHERE I WANT TO BE. JANELLE AND LYLE (MY GOOD FRIENDS) GOT ME 6 MONTH MEMBERSHIP TO 24HRS FITNESS SO THAT WILL HELP A LOT. WELL I AM OFF TO WORK SO GOODBYE FOR NOW.

9-26-7 WELL IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG SINCE I WROTE ANYTHING BUT LIFE HAS BEEN GOOD BUT REALLY REALLY BUSY. I AM FEELING GREAT. I HAVE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS WITH EATING AND FOOD DID GET STUCK AND I HAD TO HAVE SOME FLUID TAKING OUT. IT WAS JUST .4CCS BUT THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. I AM GETTING TO DO SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT I WOULD OF NEVER GOT TO DO IF I DIDN’T HAVE THE SURGERY. WELL I AM OFF TO WORK. JUST WANTED TO SAY I AM WELL AND FEELING GREAT. GOODBYE FOR NOW.

7-8-7 WELL I AM DOING REALLY WELL. IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE STARTING THIS WHOLE PROGRAM AND I AM DOWN ALMOST 70LBS. I AM SWIMMING AND WALKING ALMOST EVERYDAY. I DO HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK ON SOME DAYS. MY HIPS BOTHER ME SOMETIMES. I AM DOWN TO A 2 X AND 20 TO 22 PANTS. THAT IS A BIG DEAL TO ME SINCE I WAS A 3 X OR 4 X AND 28 TO 30. I FEEL GREAT AND EVERYONE TELLS ME HOW GREAT I LOOK. NEXT FRIDAY JULY 13^TH I AM GOING HOME FOR THE 1^ST TIME SINCE CHRISTMAS AND SURGERY. I AM VERY EXCITED AND NERVOUS. I CANT WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE. I REALLY MISS HOME. I AM EATING GOOD AND IT IS NICE TO LIKE VEGETABLES AND FOODS I DIDN’T THINK I LIKED. I WENT TO THE EYE DR YEST AND SHE SAID MY EYES ARE GOOD. I AM GETTING A LITTLE MORE NEARSIGHTED BUT NO DIABETES IN THE EYES. THAT IS GREAT NEWS. OVERALL THE DR AND EYE DR ARE SAYING NO MORE DIABETIS WHICH FOR ME IS A HUGE DEAL AND WONDERFUL. WELL I AM OFF TO DO LAUNDRY AND MAKE SOME EGGS. I HAVENT EATEN TODAY EXCEPT FOR A SLIMFAST WHEN I WOKE UP. SO I SAY GOODBYE FOR NOW.

 7-24-7 WELL IT HAS BEEN SUCH A RIDE SINCE I LAST WROTE. I WENT HOME AND HAD A GREAT TIME. EVERYONE WAS REALLY HAPPY WITH THE PROGRESS I HAVE MADE. I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BUT NO WORRIES AND JUST KEEP UP MY EXERCISE AND DIET. ALSO I AM NOW WORKING IN OUR SURGICAL WEIGHT LOSS OFFICE. I AM THE PATIENT COORDINATOR. I AM REALLY EXCITED AND NERVOUS ABOUT THE NEW POISITON. IT IS WHERE I WANTED TO BE ALL ALONG BUT HAD TO WORK TO GET THERE. I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN BUT KNOW I CAN DO IT. I JUST HAVE TO TAKE IT DAY BY DAY. I ENJOY SEEING THE PTS PROGRESS THRU THE PROGRAM AND SEEING HOW THEY ARE DOING. WELL THIS IS SHORT SINCE I AM REALLY TIRED AND HAVE TO OPEN TOMORROW. I AM OFF TO BED, SO GOODNIGHT FOR NOW. 

6-7-7 WELL IT HAS BEEN A WHILE AND WHAT A RIDE IT HAS BEEN.  I AM DOING SO WELL. I FEEL AND LOOK AMAZING AND CANT BELIEVE WHAT A DIFFERENCE MY LIFE IS FROM LAST YEAR. I CAN DO A LOT MORE THAT I NEVER EVEN KNEW I COULD DO. I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD WITH DOING MORE WITH ANOTHER LADY WHO HAD THE BAND SURGERY ON MAY 16^TH.  WE REALLY WANT TO GO OUT THERE AND HELP OTHER PTS WHO WANT OR ARE HAVING THE SURGERY. IT FEELS REALLY GOOD KNOWING THAT I AM GOING TO USE THE TOOLS THAT I HAVE BEEN GIVING. I WALK AT THE BEACH AND ON THE BEACH EVERY NIGHT NO MATTER WHAT. I ALSO AM WATCHING WHAT I EAT WHICH ISNT HARD SINCE I DON’T GET REALLY HUNGRY. IT IS A MATTER OF CONTROLLING MYSELF. I AM GOING TO THE SUPPORT MEETINGS EVERY 1^ST AND 3^RD MONDAY OF THE MONTHS. I HAVE A GROUP OF FRIENDS THAT ARE WONDERFUL AND VERY SUPPORTIVE. I AM LOOKING TO THINGS IN THE FUTURE AND THAT IS SO WONDERFUL. I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH LIFE FINALLY FOR THE 1^ST TIME IN MY LIFE. WELL I NEED TO GET TO BED, SO GOODNIGHT FOR NOW.

6-19-7 WELL WHAT A WORLDWIND IT HAS BEEN. MY LIFE IS SO BUSY AND FULL. I CAN ACTUALLY SAY FOR THE 1^ST TIME IN YEARS I AM TRULY HAPPY AND BLESSED. I DON’T NEED ANYONE OR ANYTHING TO MAKE ME HAPPY, I JUST NEED ME AND TO KEEP UP THE WORK I AM DOING. I AM WALKING EVERY NIGHT EXCEPT FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS BECAUSE I GOT SOME KIND OF BUG. I AM DOING BETTER. I WENT TO A SUPPORT MEETING LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD. TODAY I WENT AND SAW MY GIRLFRIEND’S NEW BABY BOY JULIAN. HE IS SO SWEET AND PRECIOUS. TOMORROW NIGHT I HAVE A NUTRITION MEETING AND THEN ON THURSDAY I HAVE TO GO SEE MY FRIEND IN THE HOSP BECAUSE HE IS HAVING LAP BAND SURGERY. FRIDAY I AM ACTUALLY OFF WORK BUT HAVE A TON OF PLANS FOR THE DAY AND WEEKEND. WELL I AM OFF TO BED SO GOODNIGHT FOR NOW.

6-30-7 WELL IT IS THE END OF JUNE AND ALMOST 5 MONTHS SINCE SX. I AM DOING WELL. I HAD AN ADJUSTMENT THIS WEEK AND I CAN REALLY TELL THE DIFFERENCE. I DON’T GET HUNGRY AND WHEN I DO EAT SOMETHING I GET FULL REALLY EASY. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE PORT SO THE DR WILL BE DOING AN OUTPATIENT SURGERY TO MOVE THE PORT AND PUT A SMALLER ONE IN. THE PORT RIGHT NOW IS UNDER THE WAIST BAND AREA AND HURTS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE PRESSURE FROM THE EXTRA LOOSE SKIN IS PUSHING ON IT. THE DR SAID IT DOES HAPPEN SOMETIMES AND NOT TO WORRY. WELL TODAY I HAVE NOT FELT GOOD ALL DAY SO I HAVE SLEPT MOST OF IT. I THINK WE ARE PASSING SOMETHING AROUND WORK AGAIN. WELL I AM OFF TO REST, SO GOODNIGHT FOR NOW.
