Good morning, I haven't blogged in months. I have finally enter onederland in March. I have been trying to exercise mainly at work during lunch now since I don't spend all my time eating. I am so glad I decided to do the WLS, no more meds for chronic illness. Thank GOD!!! No more pain meds at least not for related weight pain bad bed I think. Still need to post some new pics as soon as I figure how. I keep tryin to get someone to help upload the pics. Well take care all and Have a Happy Mother's day!!!

Hey OH Fam. it has been awhile I am still losing down 77 pounds in 6 months my surgeon says that's good but it seems to be coming off very slowly and to top things off I have the nibbles when I am bored mainly in the evening the worst time of course. I don't want this to be the start of a bad thing. I have some much more weight to lose. I've lost 45 % of my excess weight so I have 80 more to go. I can't even see my self at 130 pounds.

Hey OH Fam, I went back 2 work yesterday. I was glad 2 make money again but I was extremely tired. Everyone was hugging me and saying I lost so much weight, they could see it in my face. I can't wait till you can see it in my body 2.. I am down about 33 lbs in 4 weeks. They were asking me alot of questions about the WLS, what I can eat, am I exercising etc. Exercise not yet just walking and not walking like I use 2. I am still alittle sore in my incision line all 9 inches of it. Plus I have 2 other cuts where my Doc started the laprascopic way but couldn't finish and went to an Open RNY. I guess I can't dwell on it, its over and I thankful he pulled me through.I try to put up some 1 month pixs soon. Take Care All and GOD Bless!!

Hey Oh Fam, I went to the doctor on 8-13-09 my first post op visit and he lanced my 2 little bulgs and all this clear and light yellow stuff came out he said it was fat. Say What ? And it is still draining !!! I posted a discussion topic and only one person so far knew this can happen. She said if you lose fat fast and your body can't get rid of it, it will leak out . Well go news he still cleared me to return to work on 8-24-09, drive and step up to pureed food. I couldn't  wait and ran out and got a baby food mill for $13 since my blender didn't seem to puree chicken well especially such small quantities. I can barely get in a whole 4 ounce cup of anything and I have to split it up to get it in.  Well enough blabbing.

Take care and GOD Bless!!

Hey OH Fam, I am now 2 weeks post op and can barely geet food in or liquid in I just don't want it right now. I hope I made the right decision I don't feel like I am losing any weight.I know I have lost about 16 lbs as of 8-6-09 when I saw my PMD. I see the surgeon on 8-13-09 I am alittle afraid I pulled something in my incision line I now have 2 little bulges I didn't have before.I pray everything is ok. I will keep everyone posted.
Take Care all and GOD Bless.

Well my surgery was on Monday 7-27-09 things didn't go as expected. I was suppose to have laproscopic RNY but ended up with an open RNY. Imagine to my  suprise when I woke up from surgery. I was pissd and in pain. Why could it been postponed? Then other things began to happen and I was in the hospital a day longer. I  really needed it though.Well every one make sure this is what you want and be prepared for the unexpected and always remember to pray. Take care OH family. Peace and Blesings

Hey OH family, I only have 5 days to go. I am so excited and alittle neverous. I 've been on these protien shakes since 7-13-09 protocal for the surgery. I had problems in the begining staying compliant but it's alot easier now. Anybody out there had to do the protein shakes for meal replacements. I is alittle rough especially with your tummy regular sized or should I say supersized in my case.  Take Care All !

Blessing and Peace !!!

I have not been doing well with losing weight before surgery but I am trying to do better I joined Curves to start exercising more. Well I am not much of a talker and I need to check on my twins.
