RYD Conference

May 27, 2008

Ok, I know - why is he posting SOOO late after the conference. The truth - lazy. Thats all. Well as some know there was the RYD Conference the first weekend of May in Dallas. I must say - it was awesome!! I had the honor to be able to speak on Saturday. I spoke on the importance of support groups. I hope that those that were there enjoyed and learned something from my speech. It was such a good weekend. I was also in charge of the clothing exchange. That was great also. We had 9 banquet table stacked full of clothes. We ended up giving a car full of clothes - no rather a Ford Tauras station wagon full - to a local shelter. It was so good to se folks coming out of there wih handfulls of clothes.....

I hope to see yall at the next one. And I will need help with the clothing exchange again.....

Check out the pics from the conference at www.rydobesity.com And follow the links for the Dallas event and then photos.

Until next time......

Ok everyone, time to posy.... last night I went to a get together with many other WLS folks. There were people 4 months to 4+ years post op. I can tell you, I had a BLAST!!! But....I did feal a little uncomfortable. Not from folks, just me. I am not used to the positive comments and attention. Being morbidly obese all my life, I was used to the negative stuff. This blew me away last nite! I am not a dancer, so that did not help out much. But I must say, it was weird to have people ask me to dance!!! I hope I hurt no one by saying no, but I'm just not ready yet....

I will say this - the hard outer shell that I have has been cracked, not broken but cracked. Soon I will be able to fit in and have a blast, not fealing weird......

OMG!!

Hey there everyone. I know I have not been on here or posted on the forums for awhile. All is good. Down from 422 to 268. Cant be happier. Life is good. I can say that I have learned that cooking after WLS SUX!!!! It is so hard to cook knowing I will only eat so little.
I kinda got off the wagon. Not overeating, but just not eating the right stuff. I have stopped and will be doing a hard core protien shake thingie the next couple few weeks. Need to start the loosing again. the plateau is getting OLD.
Thanks for all the support from everyone. Love yall.

Welcome

Christmas 2007

Dec 23, 2007

OK. I must admit, it is great being down 138lbs, but this Christmas sucks! I am recently divorced, a mutual thing, and it is hard to be alone. I sit back and realize how better things will be for the both of us, but it is still hard as hell. Its hard to admit I am one of the statistics of a failed marriage. I do know it is for the better.

Now - I will also miss the big plate of prime rib, mashed taters, squase, etc...... But I would never take back the change I did in my life. I thank God everyday for giving my Dr the ability to do the surgery.

Hope everyone has/had a great Christmas.
