Its Been a While
May 31, 2009
I'm down to 170. Its hard to believe because its been a long time since I I've been this small. I've even got a few pair of size 12 jeans that fit me! My mom has started on morphine for her pain. She is still quilting. We talk a lot about her past. I've been writing things down so that I will remember... I bought her the A. Jackson cd "Precious Memories". She loves hymns. Keep us in your prayers...

I'VE SLOWED DOWN...
Apr 21, 2009
I've lost 27 pounds in 1 month. The strange thing is that I've only lost 2 pounds in the last week. I was losing a pound a day. What Happened? The only thing I'm doing different is to try to get in all my protein. Any ideas?

Down to 189...
Apr 09, 2009
I had no clue that I could lose weight this fast! It's great! I haven't seen 189 in a loooong time. My stomach still feels a little swollen. I had to talk to a social worker today. Mom signed papers to put me in charge of her legal decisions. She cried when the social worker talked about death. She ordered a very nice suit a couple of days ago...I think that she is planning to be buried in it...This is so hard to face...My mom is such a great person. I don't want to imagine a world without her. pray for me that I can be the best daughter that I can be...

Two Weeks Out...
Apr 07, 2009
I'm healing well, although I still have a few twinges of soreness when I bend over to pick something up. The scales say 190 this morning!! That's about 19 pounds in 2 weeks...amazing...It all feels so surreal...Like a good dream you wake up and find out that it's true!!!

I've felt a Little Hungry Today...
Apr 06, 2009
Don't know why. Maybe planning meals for my family. It smells so good and sometimes I have to help my little boy eat. Good thing is that before surgery I would never have been able to resist. Now I can...I just have to get my mind off of it. Coming to OH helps a lot. I hope tomorrow will not be so hard. Only 8 days until my Dr. appointment. I'll be glad to eat something besides "Full Liquid". My bruises are almost gone. I have very little pain. So I'm doing great. I'm going for a sugar-free popcicle. Hospice came to visit my mom today. Maybe my hunger has to do with some of the emotions connected to that....No more getting my comfort from food....I can cope...

In the Middle of a Big Thunderstorm...
Apr 05, 2009
Thunder, lightning , and rain...Oh, My!!! I like storms, so it feels great to me! I spent a few hours with mom today. She even got outside today to "supervise" a little planting. I do love to see her happy and feeling well.
I am down to 194 on my scales today...unbelievable, but so good!!! My church clothes are fitting better and a lot of people made positive comments...it was nice!
God has been so good to me. I am so grateful for the way my diabetes is responding to the surgery...down from 160 units a day to a couple of units per day at the most!!!
I'll say good night and God Bless...think I'll go snuggle with my honey and listen to the rain.

The Clothes in my closet...
Apr 04, 2009
Only ten days after surgery and the clothes in my closet are beginning to look better. I am thrilled. The weather is pretty, but still a little cool. I'm ready to get busy planting flowers! I' going to start with a bed of marigolds. I figure that will be fairly simple. I'm planting flowers for my mom this summer. I'm going to tell her that every flower represents a pray. I hope she will feel blessed, inspired, and comforted. Hope everyone out there is doing well.

The scales say 198 today!!!
Apr 03, 2009
I don't know what the dr.s scales will say, but on my own scales I have gone under 200 lbs...It's been 3 years since I've weighed so low. I'm doing good with the eating. I do think I am hungry sometimes, but it is bearable. It's been a dreary day today. Makes it hard to get into anything. I think Donna and I are going to work on a jigsaw puzzle. Hang in there everybody...

A Loving Daughter...
Apr 01, 2009
I want my mom to know that I love her. My has pancreatic cancer. The doctors have given her three to six months to live. I want to make the most of the time that I have with her. Pray for me that the Lord will guide me into the ways he wants me to love and minister to her...and that I'll have the strength (from Him) to do the part He has for me to do. I want to be a loving daughter...

Went out with a friend today...
Mar 31, 2009
We had a great day out. Still a little sore, but not too sore to enjoy shopping!!
My head is in a good place about all this. Doing fine with the eating, but anxious for a little solid food. I really can't believe I'm on this side of the surgery.I really can't tell anything about weight loss (my scales and the doctor's are not the same). I'm not in too big of a hurry.
Does any know about getting off insulin after surgery? That's what's most important to me.
