HEY FOLKS! Been too long since I have been on. Grateful and thankful that I am still doing great. Now that it has been amost 11 yrs. I want to look into a tummy tuck. Other than that, I have no regrets.

Hope to be back soon.

Blessing to all post and pre surgeries.  Looking forward to reading so of your stories.

Hi OH Friends!

Wow I have been on the site, but if has been too long since I have posted. I wish all of those that are preparing for surgery the best and congrats to those who has started their weight loos journey.

So, I visited my doctor for the first time in two years. She was happy and proud of the way I look and how I have maintained. I had to get my blood work done to see if I am deficient in any of my vitamins. She instructed me to get back to eating my protein first, you know they way they tell you to do in the beginning. I had to admit that I fell off the wagon and was not eating properly. Yet I am maintaining. BUT...it is good to stick to the plan as you can harm yourself by not doing so. For example, my lips started splitting on the sides. That never happened to me in my life, come to find out that is a sign of lacking in Vitamin B-12. Weird thing, I saw my cousin for the first time in a long time. I was telling her about the splitting on the sides. She showed me that she had the same thing. So all to say, take your vitamins. ALL OF THEM. Our bones and everything else will surely began to let us know what they are hungry for. Take good care of yourself forever. Never stop or slack off, it doesn't pay.

Beside my body letting me know to get back track, I am doing great. I am healthy, I feel good and I am happy. No complaints over here.

Later! Denise

I know I said chat with you soon right? Well I have no excuse and it is sad how eventually you get caught up in life and may not come back to check in.  None the less I Thank GOD I am still here and feeling well. I can't even begin to describe how life has changed. I sometimes wonder if things would be the way they are had I not had the surgery 5 years ago. Would some of the people that are in my life be there? Would some of the people that seem to be knocking down walls to be in my life really want to be? How will I know? The answer is I won't!!!! I am amazed EVERYDAY when I compare the before and after. What do I compare you may ask. I compare:

The way I feel inside.
The way I think now.
The way that I look to the naked eye now.
The way people look at me.
The way people react towards me. (The things they do and don't do now)
The way I feel physically now.

OK, no I still am not married (by choice)
I still do not have any children (again by choice)
But who knows what may happen!
I however feel great, I have no reason to moan and groan. Of course we are never satisfied and would like to fix more little things after making it to this point. But I am not sad or going crazy over it. It is what it is and I am who I am. Like it or lump it! FOR REAL THIS TIME! LOL!

The main this is I AM HERE AND WELL!

I hope and pray that all is well with everyone that has had the surgery and even those that did not. Everything happens for a reason.  Have a blessed one!

May 24, 2005. Hellllloooo, Update coming soon!!!!! By the way I am 3yrs post opt and feeling great. I have been going back and forth between 145 and 150 for the past year. I am now a size 8. YES!!!! I gained a few pounds back. That works for me. I did not want to even be that small, but as stated before...I don't want to be ungrateful. The photo at the bottom was taken in April of 2005.

MAY 24, 2005...WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A WHOLE YEAR HAS GONE! I did not realize it until I started typing the date. Sorry I took so long to visit. I am still feeling good, still in good health by the Grace of God. I am over four years out and still happy. I could use some minor changes, but we are never satified. I am not going to complain. I have come a long way. My blood work is fine and life is treating me even better than before. Even hope to get married soon (even though it is to the one that loved me when I was a biggums) lol lol lol. I will feel and look FAB in my gown!!!!!!!!
I am wishing you all well. May God keep you and bless you through it all!

MUAH! Chat with you soon! 

Ok!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be celebrating my 2yrs post op on Feb 15, 2004. I also will be with God's help celebrating my 30 B-day. YEAHHHHHHH! Again thanks for all the support and wonderful comments on my stay at was. I am still a size 6 or a medium/Large depending on the cut. I love to buy Large. Hey sorry coming from 306 with all that stomach u see below it is not easy looking like a string bean as they tell me. So I want to keep it healthy and looking healty..Don't want to look like death. It is not that serious. I am surprised at how my stomach looks in and out of my clothing seeing how BIG it was. But it is not bad like I said. Only from certain angles lol..>GEEEEE WIZZZZ! Now that makes me want to get it tucked other than that I don't look like I was 21 months pregnant before lol lol. Well all, have a good one and take care of yourself. Chat with you later.

Well Ladies and Gents.
I am at a size 6. I have been here for quite sometime. I am now stable. I feel great. I am going for a general check up in a couple of days. Have to get the blood check. There is not much to say now. I am at my stable stage and doing well. I hope all is well with everyone else. I do however still want to get a breast lift. A tummy tuck would be nice but I am not going to push it.

It's me again. It has been too long since I have been here to post, but not to visit. So I am here to let u know, I am now about 145-150bls. [A whole person has disappeared] I will have a new after picture up as soon as possible. I am still doing well with my eating. This may sound strange, but I do hope I am done with the weight loss. I don't want to seem ungrateful and for the help of the surgery and its results. I just don't want to loose anymore. I am now wearing sized 7/8 and 9/10 depending on the store and the cut of the clothing. I get many compliments and a lot of turned noses from the ladies. Why is that LADIES?????? I am grateful the God has kept me thus far. I have heard some tragic stories and some good ones. I am more than happy that I am one of the successes.

Hi all. I just had my picture updated. I feel wonderful and I am still thanking God for going with me through this big decision. He has been keeping me every since. I eat just about anything I want....but, still small portions....I need to drink more water though. I have fallen off on that. Hope all is well with everyone. Those of u that have already made it..Take care of your body.....Those of u coming this way. Take care of your body as well. Do what your doctor says not what u want to do. U will be better off.
Luv ya
Tonia

WELL, WELL, WELL.... Let see what I have been dealing with. The children don't remember me. They remember the b4 pic lol lol.... The adults take triple looks then stare [with their mouth open] and after about 5 minute of brain tape playing and rewinding in their head they say OH MY GOOOOOOODNESSSSSS! TONIA!!! U Look good girl, turn around let me see! I have men that tooted their nose up at me now wanting me to be their wife! How typical cause they can see a little booty now. lol lol........ Now I know folks have there preference but if u knew me as a person and felt that I would be good for u as a person then u should have tried to peruse me then. I am the same person just A LOT SMALLER LOL LOL. [I give major props and love to those who loved me for me and did not even see all of that. SMOOCHES and HUGS to ya!] So I say to them OH NOW U WANTS A THIN WIFE HUH? DID NOT WANT THE FAT WIFE I WOULD HAVE BEEN over a year ago? OH I see, anyways thanks for the oooohs and aaaah and the compliment talk to u later, U R THE WEAKEST LINK GOOD BYE LOL LOL......... Now don't get me wrong I am not snooty or vain. [Just a little MORE confident I must say] But if u knew me then and was not trying to holler...Just keep on passing me by. Now anyone that never knew me or saw me feel free lol lol...Just don't like the phoniness U feel me? Maybe I am wrong but hey I have my preferences too...... MY mom wants me to eat everything I can. She says I look lovely but she does not want me to loose anymore. U know how our folks do they like to EAT and see u looking HEALTHY! lol lol. Folks are jealous saying OH GIRL U LOOK GOOD, but telling the next person OHHHH she look sick girl! [ONLY THE HATERS] I am like please don't hate I don't look sick and that is one thing I thank God for. I DO EAT. So see u can't satisfy every one. U are doomed if u do and doomed if u don't. That is Y I did it for MYSELF. [Big sigh] Another thing I can tell u is....BOY OH BOY! Folks treat small people diffffeeeerrrreeeennntt! It is a shame and it makes me feel bad sometimes because I know the feeling I have been there for 28yrs..... I no longer feel ashamed when I order my food at Burger king and things of that nature...I tell u society can beat u up and that is where the depression comes in at first. Now if I am licking an Ice cream cone walking down the street I don't feel like the whole world is looking at me and saying "NOW SHE KNOW SHE DON'T NEED TO BE LICKIN' THAT ICE CREAM...sheeeeeesh!!! N E waze I am out of here till next time Smooches...Maybe I will have a fiancée lol lol lol lol
Muah!

Hello everyone...It has been a YEAR and 10 days for me...I feel wonderful and look great...If I must say so myself LOL LOL...... I have had basically no complications, just a little vomiting that I brought on myself..I have however encountered the thinning of the hair...but it is still a nice length..I may cut it I am not sure...but they say it will thicken back up, even if not to the total thickness as before.....But it is not bad to the point where I want to jump off a roof or anything.........I Thank God for bringing me safe this far and keeping his arms around me..... I will update my after pic soon. I am now 166bls now....I hope to stay here I do not desire to be tooooooo small but I am not complaining...It is a wonderful thing to be able to wrap a normal towel around me when I get out of the shower instead of a beach towel...my necklace is no longer a choker....It is the little things that make u feel good as well....I can see my earrings pass my cheeks now...I can shop just about anywhere and get great bargains....WINK, WINK..
