Update

Nov 17, 2009

Hello my OH family Its been a while. I am updating all those who like to check up on me I really appreciate your love and support. Here it is.. Since the surgery I have lost 77 ponds in 18 weeks. I feel so much better. I am breathing so much better but I don't think I am giving myself enough credit because I am not where I want to be yet, (but I'm not where I was either). I am not ungrateful I feel that this surgery was and is life saving and I have been blessed, so blessed with my results. I  have not thrown up not one time. I dump when I eat greasy foods but my dumping is not a violent dump like I hear some people say. I more or less get severe diarrhea and sweaty and a little nausea. I can tolerate sugar from fruits and a little more than 12 grams per serving in other foods or drinks. I don't push it any further than that because I am afraid that I wont dump and then what????????  I can eat allot, but not as much as I used to but ALLOT COMPARED TO THE BEGINNING.  I am realizing that its more of my own responsibility to take control of my life. My eating, my exercising and my overall health, so that is what I am doing. No more emotional eating. When I get lonely and or slightly depressed I pray, I fast, I read, read, read, and find comfort in my relationship with my God my Father. That's what has been working for me. I noticed that when I feel lonely I get in bed and I hold what ever food I have close to me and its almost like a form of worship and I find comfort in my food just like I would if I had my husband at home with me.. I am not sleeping with the enemy any more(FOOD). So that is where I am right now and I am still working on me everyday inside and out. I have a personal trainer and its been OK .. I feel and see some muscles forming and I can feel my collar bones. My sister said I have ankles now instead of Kankles..LOL. Yesterday in the store while I was shopping with my two daughters I grab a size 58 men's belt because that used to  be my size and it was way to big. So i grab the next couple of sizes down all the way down to a size 42 n that was my fit. I was so shocked that I can wear a 42 size belt and I know it is just the beginning. I will some day soon be a 38" bust,  24" waist,  37" hips or close to it or below I am keeping the faith and please I cant stress this enough who ever reads this please say a prayer for Amy that's me.. Mention me when you talk to God the father , The Son or the Holy Spirit.. Thanks and I love you all and I am praying for your success in life and on the weight loosing  journey..
