Hey, hey hey,

I just got off the scale and it show 187 that is 10lbs from my goal of 177. I want to dance in the streets. I feel very good. My family is going to be complete on the 29th of this month. Our three new babies we are adopting will be legally apart of our family.

So,there will be nine of us.

Na'im(dad), Tanshea(mom) and 7 kids, Marcus 13, Micah 8, Amir 6, Maxien 4, Andersen 2, Morgan 2 and Aiden 1.

I know that is in big part to the surgery that this is all possible. Without it I could not see me having the angry or strength to get through it. I mean a day of making 7 kids and 1 husband are all taking care of, wow....

Thank you RYN for giving a fresh start and tackling life.

Ok, so my weight is at, Drum role please 192lbs.. So, this year and been great. I have Coached my sons soccer and FOOTBALL team. Head coach of both. Painting and redoing everything in my house and loving it. I am so healthy is is crazy. And I don't miss eating like a EATING IS GOING OUT OF STYLE.

Well, I am so glad that I did this and can not wait to keep living.

Wow, My wieght is down to 204lbs. Can I get a what, what! 
 I can not believe the changes that this has made. I am riding a bike and coaching my sons soccer team, painting the house, and doing all sorts of things. This is great!

I can fly and not almost die trying not to have to use a seat belt extender. Is this really me. Yes, yes it is!

Well, I will write again.

So, I am down to 213lbs from 333lbs. It is so exciting, I am able to do all kinds of things and I could not do before. I can carry my own 19mnth old son across a whole field, I can actually exercise.. I hope to be at 177 by my one year, but I am not sure that is going to happen. 

At some point I will need to have some PS. I only really care about the stomach area, oh well we will see. This is the BOMB!

Boy has it been a long time. I am now down to 228lbs. Yeahhhhh, I still want more however. I am going to start using a new video I have to help with weight loss. Can not wait to see 199il on the scale. Not much else to say. but boy how has life changed.

Hey,

I had surgery on the 27th of April and it went well. I am doing great, The anethesia was a B----, but I made it through. 

I started at 333 on the 17th and 317 after the 10 day liquid diet. I will be weighed again on the 3rd when I had back to the Dr. I will update that weight also.

Right now ,I don't feel any restrictions but that could be due to my not pusing the limits. I am very careful to eat what the Dr has said I would be also to eat and stick with that. 

Well, I will write again later,

Tanshea

Well, I am back on the 10 day diet. I was supposed to have this surgery on the 23rd if March. However, two days before the surgery I found out I have a bug in my stomach that I had to get rid of before I could have the surgery. So, that is over and now I am on my liquid diet again. New date for the 27th of April. Really excited and very scared.

Well, yesterday I went to my last dietitan appt. I found out more about the 10 day liquid diet. I also learned how my diet will change for the next 3mnths after the surgery.

I am excited and also very scared. March 23rd here I come.

Hey,

Soooo, this morning at 5:45. My husband and I got in the car and drove to the Dr office. 

Where I was given the pre surgery instructions. I also saw the Dr and boy was he nice. I really enjoyed our talk. Next, I was sent to get my surgry date and it is..................................MARCH 23RD!

I am both excited and very scared. Not sure what to expect, but ready all the same. I met a great new friend named Lisa today in the pre surgery meeting. She is funny and very nice.

Well, heres to my new Birthdate.
