Well i have beeen waiting for years to say i have lost 50 lbs and now i can my next goal is 75 . well let me apologize for not updating in so long but busy is what i've been trying to get used to all the changes the surgery has brought into my life. Yesterday i went to a bbq at my sister in laws house it was so great i didn't eat much but the time with the family and seeing everyone that i haven't seen in years it was truley a good experience and of course all the compliments ,yes everyone noticed and i must admit i did look good the only thing is that i left my camera and camcorder home don't know how i didi that, hopefully my sis will email me the pics and i'll put one up of me so all my oh fam can see how fab i looked. I have been seeing a big difference in my clothes being the fact that i'm down from a 32 to a 26 it feels so good but still when i look in the mirror i look the same crazy ain't it. i think it's because my shape hasn't changed much thank God i wasn't built real bad cuase i would prob be freaking out but i was fine at 374 and now i'm finner at 324 watch out 299 .
Phenomenal That's me

PHENOMENAL WOMAN by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies ▫ I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion size ▫ But when I start to tell them ▫ They think I'm telling lies. ▫ I say ▫ It's in the reach of my arms ▫ The span of my hips ▫ The stride of my steps ▫ The curl of my lips. ▫ I'm a woman ▫ Phenomenally ▫ Phenomenal woman ▫ That's me.
I walk into a room ▫ Just as cool as you please ▫ And to a man ▫ The fellows stand or ▫ Fall down on their knees ▫ Then they swarm around me ▫ A hive of honey bees. ▫ I say ▫ It's the fire in my eyes ▫ And the flash of my teeth ▫ The swing of my waist ▫ And the joy in my feet. ▫ I'm a woman ▫ Phenomenally ▫ Phenomenal woman ▫That's me.
Men themselves have wondered ▫ What they see in me ▫ They try so much ▫ But they can't touch ▫ My inner mystery. ▫When I try to show them ▫ They say they still can't see. ▫ I say ▫ It's in the arch of my back ▫The sun of my smile ▫ The ride of my breasts ▫The grace of my style. ▫I'm a woman ▫Phenomenally▫ Phenomenal woman ▫That's me.
Now you understand ▫ Just why my head's not bowed ▫ I don't shout or jump about ▫Or have to talk real loud ▫ When you see me passing ▫ It ought to make you proud. ▫ I say ▫ It's in the click of my heels ▫The bend of my hair ▫ The palm of my hand ▫The need for my care. ▫ 'Cause I'm a woman ▫ Phenomenally ▫ Phenomenal woman ▫ That's me.
I must admit that I cut and pasted this from another profile because I LOVE IT! That's what I am- a phenomenal woman.

Boy Boy Boy Did i cheat today i needed abreak from all that liquid i just sat up and thought bout the fact that i wouldn't be able to eat again for months maybe and never again like i have and i really needed to have a last day so i'm through now one thing i can say though even though i did cheat i still didn't nearly eat as much as i normally would have I am amazed at the fact that i just stopped. I pretty much just tasted everything i went down to my brothers house to let my wrestlemania loving son watch the wrestlemania on pay per view with the family had a blast but they had the normal party food rotel dip(had to have some) and my aunt makes the best baked chicken wings i ever tasted i did have three of those though but it was protein and baked so i hope that wasm't as bad but i did have a small piece of carmel cake it was sooooo goood but i din't go back into the pan . I have to find some good with the bad . Hey I love my hubby he is just so supportive I couldn't have asked for a better mate Thank You God for him.Love u guys . Keep Shrinking

Well today is my third day on this liquid diet i must admitt it is a lot harder than i expected. i did really well my first day but last night i bit my hubby chili dog but only one bite. tonight i had a bite of his burger he tried to stop me but i insisted i felt so bad afterwards but it tasted so good.well i did start taking my vitamins today the centrum chewable they aren't bad at all reminds me of the flintstones we used to take when we were kids. oh yeah we walked to today my whole family and for us thats awesome we walked afor about two hours through the neighborhood we stopped at a cuple of friends houses along the way needed arest somewhere but we didi it thats the important thing. so i think i'll do ok with every thing i have a great support team soo many people want to be with me during my surgery that i'm afraid someone is going to have to stay home. plus i weighed myself today and it showed i loss 10 lbs but i will weigh myself at my dr office tomorrow to see if that scale is acurate if it is then thats 10 lbs inabout 4 days can't be .......cann it I'll let u know tomorrow
