Hi All My name is Michelle and a mother of 3 I have been over weight all of my life. And I wanted this 6 years ago but was told by my family doctor to lose the Weight on my own at the time I was 300 pounds at my heaviest I was 365. I have since gotten the surgery just 2 weeks post -op Jan. 16th 2006 was my life changing day I have lost 25 pounds so far and I am looking forward to my new life as a non fat person It is hard to believe that I might life a more heathier life with the help of my family. And God in my life to get me though all of the ups and downs that my come my way during this journey in my life. I need lot of support at this time in my life and that is why I am here!
April 7th 2006 well here is an update I have been in and out of the hospital due to my stoma closing I have gone for 5 endo openings to no success they tried to put a stent in to keep it open but my body rejected it Ugh! So here I am at home after a week and I have not eaten since Tuesday and I just want to feel good again! I am down 45 pounds and hitting the gym on a reg. basis when I am not in the hospital. I can get up to 5 miles an hour and go for about 2and half miles I do yoga and water aroebics I am loving the weight lose but not the issues that we are having.

80 pounds lost so far!!! I am doing so good the last time I was in the hospital was in april and I have not been back since I am back to work and loving it! I have only gotten sick a little but I think it is that I need to slow down that is it. I do not regret any of this I did want to turn back a few times but I am glad that I did not. Well till next time Kisses Michelle

I am down 155 pounds I am now at 215 pounds I am feeling o good I have not had any more issues since April and I am back to work and glad that I did this for myself and for my family if it was not for them helping me though the tough times I am not sure where I would be right now. Ok to all of you out there that are thinnking this is the easy way out you are so wrong it is a life changing thing that not everyone can do but if you are willing to give up sugar and ot drinkin with your meals that is still a hard one for me I want to sip when I should just eat. I sometimes slip and put a drink in front of me and sip but I have paid the price by getting dummping from getting to full and it hits you so fast you wish you would have done it so be careful...Kisses for now Michelle

One year ago I was hoping for a miracale to happen in my life to help me lose weight I think back to this time of year as I am cooking from here untill the new year with many birthdays and holidays coming I think am I going to be ok again this Christmas with my eating last year my sister and I made lots of goodies that where good for you low in fat to help with our pre-op weight loss we made pass our goal even though all the holidays!! I am at 203.5 and I am getting closer and closer to my goal what happens then? I am afaid sometimes that once I hit that goal that I will still think of my self as an obese person I am obese untill I hit 191 pounds for my height and it just seems so unfair to myself to have that number in my head 191..191..191...191 it is not far but maybe I can drill it into my head that I am 365 anymore even though this girl called me a fat bitch the other day for no reason well not driving fast enough when do I stop being the FAT BITCH and just BITCH LOL J/K but really this word fat it might as well be a 4 letter word not 3 (FATT-Forever Admiring The Thin) why when we should not covet those around us and be happy in our own shell I am sorry all I have been on a self tortue day and this is my release I am happy about my weight loss it is my daughter 14th Birthday tomorrow and I have to cook and make this day speical for her...Her and I are 30 pounds from the same weight and she has been a little scared that I will be the same weight as her or less we already fit the same size blouses and I can almost fit in her pants so I want to make this day for her that much more special as all of us women know that we have all been on a DIET since or before her age I know I was and I was not even her weight at her age. Well this Fatt Bitch has got to go and start my protien and vitamins Kisses for now Michelle
