It will a year on Jaunuary 20 since I had my surgery. This year has brought about alot of changes as I reflect back on it. There has been alot of changes in my life. I have lost over 150 pounds. I feel healthy, I can walk from my car to a building without feeling like I am going to dead because of the chest pain, I almost like I did when I was in high school ( I have learn how to use the sexy look now that I am older). Seriously, I feel wonderful and beautiful. I thank God everyday for allow me to have this oportunity and to live to enjoy. I just have to give him the thanks and praise to him for this gift.

I am six months and feeling better everyday. I went home to Mississippi over the July 4 holiday and it was a great trip. I received so many comments on my appearance. It made me feel so good to begin looking and feeling like I did when I was in high school and college.

I will be 5 months out in a week. I am so glad I went through with this surgery. It has been one of the best things that has happen in my life. I feel like my old self again.  I am down to 222 pounds. I am still in size 18 and 20 but they are getting big so by next I will hav e to invest in new clothes. But I am loving it. Most of all I can cross my legs something I hav e not done in years.!!!!!

I am now  almost four months out . I must say I feel "GREAT" and have so much mor energy. I tire out sometimes fast. I am down to 232 and in a size 20 sometimes  a size 18. My family finally made me give up my clothes because they were all too big. So I went shopping and enjoyed buying smaller clothes. It nice when people at work say how good I am looking. Oh, I can see my high school day shape coming back. Therefore, I can hardly wait until this summer so I can go to my 30th class reunion. I hope to be down to a size 14 or 16. To all the lady "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY and all the men "HAVE A GOOD DAY and TREAT THE LADIES IN YOUR LIFE LIKE QUEENS TODAY"

Just thought I would check in. It has been three weeks since my surgery and each day it get better. I went to see Dr. Gomez on last Friday. The visit went well. I have lost 24 pounds. However,  I still feel sick to my stomach sometimes and have to force myself to eat. I think I am getting use to the diet and trying to hang it in there. I will be glad when I don't have stomach pain behind everything I eat.

I am home, made it home on yesterday.Happy!!!!!I hate the hospital. Everything went very well. I am able to get all my meds and vitamins etc in. I worked out a schedule around the dietitian's schedule that works for me. My only complain is the pain. I am a real punk when it comes to pain but it is getting better everyday. I hate taking the pain meds but use them when I need them. That is about it for me. I will update you guys later.

I have less than week to go before my surgery. I am feeling better and not so overwhelmed. I know the next five days are going to seem like the longest of my life. I have been so busy this week completing things at work. So that kept my mind off the surgery. I think the next few days I will spend cleaning my house. I completed my blood work and other tests for the surgery and that went well. Also, I went to see my primary doctor this week, the visit  went will. I enjoy the visit, he is so handsome . He made me feel at easy about the surgery. I have to see him again in three months and we laughed about the new me I will be in three months.  

I am about two weeks away from my surgery date. I am still feeling a little bit overwhelmed. I have notice that lately I am eating although I am not hunger.  So, I made a promise to myself that as of today I will not do anymore emotional eating. I am in the process of making a list of what I need to do to work through the stress. Allot of what is happen with me is due to me. I have completed the majority of task that I have at work to do. I plan to continue to work them so that by January 16, I will have everything completed in order so that my supervisor do not call me while I am on FML. Thanks for listen to me and I will probably vent allot more before January 20. Also, my surgery is on the day that OBAMA taken on his role as President of the United States, therefore my surgery date will always be a special day.

I am less than a one month away from my surgery date and my emotions are beginning to show. I had to stop myself today and evaluate way I am so touchy. Everything and everyone is getting on my last nerve. I feel some overwhelmed.I have so much I need to do at work before leaving for surgery.  I have ten reports to complete, two case staffing, case plans, visits, two week on call shift, and any and every other emergency that comes up between now and January 19 which can and will put me a little bit farther behind. Plus a supervisor who will be retiring and will show her true colors.  So, I need to keep my emotions in check because I need this surgery. But on the bright side of things, I will be on my way to losing weight within a month
