I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.**Hugs**

I went to the mall today just to get a pair of shoes. I ended up in The Gap trying on jeans. I was amazed when I put on a Size 4 regular. I didn't even have to lay down on the floor of the dressing room to zip them.LOL! The only problem was..the gap in the back of the jeans. I'm thinking that's because I have no BUM anymore. I think the gap is where a nice round BUM would go. sigh..I also went from a size 42DDD/E to a size 34B today. I haven't had any plastic surgery but I sure have droopy puppy ears. I am 50, so some of that is gravity. I did send an email to the Plastic Surgery residency clinic near me to see if they would do the breast lift a little cheaper. I haven't heard back, my BCBS FED insurance denied me. In case you wants STATS..I am 5ft5, 133. Started out 17 months ago at 255.

Hi All. Here I am at 14.5 months from RNY(lap to open) I started out at 255. 5Ft5. 48 yrs. Today I am 1.5 measly pounds from my goal of 138. I wear size 6& 8's. I consulted a plastic surgeon for a TT. He said I really only needed a mini TT without muscle involvement. It was submitted to BCBS FED insurance and it was denied 3 times. I have sent an appeal to the KS Insurance Commissioner because BCBS FED has NOT given me a good reason to deny it. I don't expect to get any further and I am okay with that. I had hoped to clear the way for others with my plan BUT it didn't happen. I can eat ANYTHING that's SF now but I avoid spaghetti. WHY? because I love spaghetti (or did) and I just couldn't eat a small amount, I would overeat and throw up. I went to a coffee shop and ate a small "supposedly" sugar free muffin. I barely made it home before I threw up repeatedly. I am quite certain it was NOT sugar free. I should have been suspicious when I asked the counter person what kind of sugar free substitute was used and she didn't know. I can handle any kind of sugar substitute so I know it wasn't that. So just be remember don't let down your guard on the SF stuff. Happy Mother's Day to all tomorrow!

Hi! Tomorrow is my 1 year post op anniversary RNY. I have lost 111# pounds and have 6# until I reach goal. I have lost 9 pounds in the last 6 weeks, so don't get discouraged if you hit a plateau. I felt I was eating too much bread, and was skipping proteins, so I have quit eating bread for a while and increased my protein. I am nearly 50, 5ft 5 and weigh ..drum roll...144.5 this morning. I am wearing size 8 & 10's. I have had a plastic surgery consult but haven't been approved yet. I feel I am lucky as I was big all over and don't have a LOT of excess skin hanging around on my stomach. I don't take protein supplements but I take my vitamins. I drink 2 12 oz latte's a day and have for 6 months. I drink very little pop as it gives me gas. I wish everyone luck in their journey! I am taking a SINGLES CRUISE next month to the Caribbean to celebrate my success.
