I am writing today because I have a heavy heart. I have a couple who are very special in my life and today Wayne has lost his battle with Pancreatic Cancer. You know that when you find out things like this, it just tears your heart out! We knew he was getting worse and he was only given 6 months to live but it is still hard to take. We as humans are VERY selfesh and have a hard time letting life take the course God had planned for us. I was raised to NEVER question God why but, he was a wonderful man, had two beautiful daughters and a very wonderful wife who is my good friend. I will always hold him in a special place in my heart.

I am now 1 year out! I cannot believe that it has already been 1 year. I am currently at 144lbs and in a size 6-8. I went and saw Dr DiNick yesterday. I am being put on his schedule for a tummy tuck and breast implants. I am really excited. The only downer is that he is booked for the rest of 2004 so I will not be getting it done until 2005. But that is ok cause I need to save money for my breast implants. $6200.00 that is alot but I am going to look soooo fine! hehe Will be closing for now!!

I am now 11 months out. I am having a wonderful jouney. I did get a cracker stuck last week and had a terrible time getting it dislodged but I finally did. I saw family memebers yesterday that I have not seen since my daughters wedding in August last year. They were truly surprised at the weight loss. I am a little concerned over losing to much weight. I was pretty much at a standstill but now I am losing again. My goal was to be between 155 to 150 pounds. I am currently at 148 and losing. I dont know what to do to stop the weight loss. I feel like I eat alot so I dont know what to do. I guess I need to call Dr Woods office and see if this is going to keep going or if I should be concerned or whatever. My DH does not want me to lose anymore ad now I have people asking me why I a losing so much and that I need to stop losing weight. I am not losing on purpose. Oh well, your damned if you lose and your damned if you dont. Go figure. On a good note! Shirley, My DH's sister is having her Greenfield Filter this Thursday and then she is having her WLS on the following Thursday. I am soooo excited about that. Well, I will post next month after my visit with Dr DiNick which will be my One Year Anniversary. Wish me Luck and a quick surgery date for my TT.

I have been slowly buying new clothes. I am happy at being 152-154 pounds. I have been trying on clothes and am in awe that I can fit into size 8 pants, small shirts and my parents just bought me a pair of pants and they were a size small. I am having a hard time believing that I can actually fit into a small. I have went from a size 24 to a size 8. I have NEVER been in a size this tiny before in my life. When shopping I still find myself going to XL and baggy clothes. My hubby keeps telling me I need to show my figure and get away from the "balloon" style clothes. He just doesnt understand how hard it is to get use to shopping in a "regular" store and have clothes actually fit you. I am looking forward to my meeting with Dr DiNick. I am going to inquire of course about a TT but I am going to find out how much it is going to cost to have a breast "enlargement". That is the one thing that I am having a hard time with. I have went from a size "D" to a VERY small "B". Probably could even fit into a size "A". I am having a hard time dealing with that. It is hard to feel sexy when you have NO breast tissue. I feel like I have my 87 year old grandmothers breast. I know I should not be complaining about such a trivial thing but to me this is a vain thing. No cleveage is not fun!!! Well, I felt I really wanted to post my feelings today. I hate to voice myself to my family because they think I am crazy. But this is my journal and I can express myself here. Later!!!!!!

Well today I am 10 months out. I am at 152lbs. I have been eating just about anything. There are still things that I can't tolerate which is good because I don't need them anyways. Did have some ice cream with a sugar substitute in it yesterday, "big mistake!!!", I was not feeling to good after that. Hubby took my picture today. I am currently at a size 8 to 10 depending on where I buy the clothes at. I have NEVER ever worn this size before. I am SO excited!!! Will post my new picture when I get it posted! Until later!!!

Well I am 9 months post-op. I am weighing 3 pounds heavier at the end of this month. I am currently at 162 pounds. I have had alot of probems with gas this month. I dont understand what the problem is. Dr Woods office called and I now have to take Vitamin B-12 Sublingual. Its not so bad. At least I am not bruising as bad anymore. I can eat just about anything now days. I do stay away from alot of sugar and I avoid grease altogether. I am truly happy that I have done this sugery. I am now 18 pounds away from Dr Woods weight goal. I am going to check on a tummy tuck with Dr Ellen. I will check on my breast work also but if she is to exspensive I will go with my stepdaughters doctor over in Canada. Well, until next time!!!

I am 8 month post-op today. Got on the scales and I weigh 160 lbs today. That puts me down 118 pounds. I am 5 pounds away from my goal and 10-15 pounds away from my surgeons goal. I am really excited. I have been doing so well on my weight loss. I do have weeks where I don't lose anything and I try not to get upset about it. I have become a scale junkie. Who would have thought. Before you could not get me on the scales and now I a so afraid of gaining weight back that I am on the scales alot. I am so use to gaining weight back EVERY time I lose weight that I am so afraid that I will gain it back. I am still trying to get use to my little tummy. I have been eating really good. I am waiting to find out about my blood results from my checkup with Dr Wood. I went to a support meeting here in West Branch and I will never go back to that meeting. I have never been so depressed in all my life. Those people were so depressing. I met a lady here who is from Prudenville and she is going to start a support group in Prudenville so I am going to go to her meeting. The hardest part is finding people up here that have had the micro-pouch. Everyone else has had the regular pouch and their eating is alot different than mine. But I am soooo happy that I have gotten the micro-pouch. Iam so thankful everyday for Dr Wood. Oh yeah, my sister-in-law is going to have the micro-pouch and she is going to have Dr Wood also. I am so excited for her. She is really depressed and wants the surgery very badly. But soon she will be on the losing side with all of us and have a better life. Well, I need to shovel the snow we are getting so take care and until next time!!
