Hi all it has been a long time since I have been up here. A lot has happened. First, I was married almost 1 year after my surgery to the love of my life and my best friend. He is wonderful to me and the children. My children are now 12 years old, 10 years old and my step daughter is almost 2. Now on top of all this I am now expecting another baby. He is coming in October. I have lost 108 pounds and still counting. Because I have been losing weight with this pregnancy. The OB/GYN has me eating 6 small meals per day (not happening). I try to eat constantly because my little man that is growing inside of me takes everything and leaves me nothing. The doctor is already predicting that he will be between 9 to 10 pounds (whew pray for me!) When we first found out I was pregnant I was 246 and now I am 228. Oh well my husband says I found the perfect way to lose weight, have a baby! Even though I am pregnant I still have a small pouch for a stomach so I am always hungry. I am not complaining because I believe that everything happens for a reason and in God's time. I will try to upload some pictures of the baby when he gets here. Until then the best of luck to everyone that are thinking about having the surgery and koodos to those who have been through it already!

I'm getting there. One step at a time!

Ok, thought that I would update my information. I am feeling OK today but the other day was a rough one for me. I couldn't stay out of the bathroom. My chest hurt and the more I tried to breath it hurt even more. I had to eventually go throw up and I felt a little better. But I was still in pain. My children are coming home on tomorrow and I am trying to look like everything is alright because I don't want to worry them. My daughter is such a worry wart and I don't want her worryign about mom. I talked to her on the phone and told her that I was doing OK and promised her that everything was just fine. She acts like the mom. I have lost about 10 pounds so far which is a plus, so keep your prayers coming this way. God Bless you all! NaNa

Hey yall, what an adventure I just had these past few days. I went to the hospital and they poked and prodded and stuck me with this and that. I was running ahead of time until I was not out of it enough and I had to receive some more knock out medicine and so that put me behind time (actually an hour or so). Well after the surgery I didn't realize how much pain I was going to be in. OMG I couldn't believe how much I hurt and it seemed that nothing they gave me would fix the situation. I felt sick to my stomach because of the anesthesia medicine and I kept warning them that I was going to be sick. Anyway needless to say, I hate vomiting and therefore I tried taking my mind of the pain and nasuea by going to sleep but they kept talking to me and asking me questions. Well, anyway, I am officially home after my heart rate wouldn't stay in a normal range and I had to stay another day to see the cardiologist. I was put on Lopressor and I have to wear a holter monitor for a month and I am out of work for a while until I am released from both doctors, which will be when I don't know when. Oh Well, I am not complaining because I needed the time off and however God wants to bless me with some much needed rest and relaxation I will say thank you. Keep me in your prayers and I will try to keep you posted on the lastest news and updates.

God Bless you all,

Good morning to all, I am getting ready to go to the hospital this morning. I have to report at 7:15am and my surgery is as 10:20am. I am still not nervous yet but I am excited. I have my bags packed to go stay with my mom for a few days after I return home and I am looking forward to the new me. I will update my profile as soon as I can. God Bless to all and hang in there! NaNa
Happy Rebirthday to me!

2 days left and I thank God. I am almost there. Never thought that I would get to this point but I am. So to all of you that are trying to get to where I am, HANG IN THERE! I am not nervous at all. I am so ready for to see my rebirthday that I go to bed early just to hurry the day along. (lol) Well, wish me luck and continue the prayers, Keep 'em coming! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU GOD!

Hey All,
Yeah I am officially on the lquid diet and it is down right ridiculous how much I want a food right now. I started on the diet on 7/11/07 and I though it would get easier but it hasn't. My family has been real supportive of me and that is a plus. Whenever I come around or if they know I'm coming they will put everything away but I tell them the smell is still there! My mom was eating a porkchop sandwich and why did I want to jump her and snatch that meat right out of her hand. She must have sensed it because she quickly wrapped it up and got on another subject other than food. Every time I feel like I am not going to make it my mom or my sister encourages me to hang in there and it will all be worth it. I know they are telling the truth but my stomach screams for FOOD!. lol:) Anyway, I am going to make it because everyday I survive this diet is another day closer to my surgery date. Hey let me get back to work or at least look busy. Stay prayed up!

Finally, after several months of jumping through all the hoops that my insurance company set up for me, I am finally on my way. For those of you who don't know I changed insurance co. right at the end of my pre-op and it has taken almost a year to complete the tests that my new insurance co. wants done b4 they woud approve anything. I have had so many psych visits that I said if I wasn't crazy b4 they will make me crazy after all this, lol. The tests were given at 8am and I get off work at 7am, so you know I was dead tired and then they wanted me to answer all these questions which required thinking. I guess I did alright (or bad enough), lol, that they decided to approve my wls. Now I am waiting on my surgeon to contact me with my surgery date. This has been an uphill journey for me but it will be worth it all, just to be able to go outside and play basketball with my children without feeling lightheaded and breathing so hard that my daughter asks me if I am alright. She is so worried that mommy will leave her but I am determined to survive for my 2 angels (Jerry and J'Nai). Stop rambling, girl! Oh, well, off to work I go, luv and hugs 2 all, ladybug (nickname)
