HELLO OH FAMILY,

SORRY IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I POSTED.  FIRST, I HAVE TO SAY THAT I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE I'VE HAD THE SURGERY.  IT HAS BEEN QUITE AN EXPERIENCE BUT ONE I WOULD'NT TRADE FOR ANYTHING.  I AM STILL WORKING TOWARD MY GOAL ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD FOR 9 MONTHS.  I AM DUE TO GIVE BIRTH TO ANOTHER BABY BOY IN NOVEMBER.  I AM SO OVERJOYED I CAN'T QUITE PUT INTO WORDS.  THIS PREGNANCY IS SO DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST ONE BECAUSE I AM IN MUCH BETTER HEALTH.   I DON'T FEEL THE IMMENSE FATIGUE I FELT BEFORE.  I AM MUCH MORE ACTIVE WITH THIS PREGNANCY AS WELL.  I AM ONLY ON ONE DIABETIC MEDICATION THIS TIME AROUND.  SO THIS TIME I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FOCUS ON THE JOY OF BEING PREGNANT  INSTEAD OF THE RISKS. 

I HAVE GAINED WEIGHT DURING THIS PREGNANCY.   THE FUNNY THING IS THAT I WILL GAIN 10 POUNDS THEN LOSE 7 THEN GAIN 5.  SO IT'S UP AND DOWN. 

THIS JOURNEY OF WEIGHT LOSS AND WELL BEING IS A DIFFICULT ONE BUT ONE WORTH TAKING.  I DON'T THINK THE JOURNEY FOR ME WILL EVER BE FINISHED BECAUSE THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TEMPTATIONS AND SABOTAGE AROUND EVERY CORNER.  YOU HAVE TO BE EVER VIGILANT  IN THIS BATTLE OF WEIGHT LOSS.

IN CLOSING,  I WISH ALL OF YOU CONTINUED SUCCESS.  WHETHER YOU ARE PRE-OP, POST-OP OR JUST STARTING THE PROCESS KNOW THAT YOU ARE PRAYED FOR ALWAYS.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
