Hmm.. Time for an update!!! Duh!
Jun 27, 2009
It has been a while since I posted anything new, so now I have so much to say. I know that GOD answers prayers. I know that my time will come for me to have my surgery and be on the losers bench. 
GOD isn't late. HE is always on time, and I must remember that. But there are so many people I have ran across and read their stories. They are truly inspiring people... Such as blkericia. She is one of the sweetest people I have met on here. I love her video blogs, and she is just funny to watch. Not only does she make me smile and keeps me inspired, she is truly a great person. I can't wait to see you in onederland Ericia. There are so many others and I wish I can just name you all...matter of fact, next post I will..But I am so proud of everyone on their journies. I just want to let everybody know that is on the site that has shared their journies, you are truly an inspiration. People say that getting weight loss surgery is the easy way out. I wish I could get a newspaper and smack some sense into them, because it is not. I haven't had the surgery, but I have heard about the journey. I have researched this surgery to a science. It takes dedication, hardwork, and faith... It is just a tool to kick you into gear, but if we don't do the neccessary footwork and put the pedal to the medal, our engine is going to break down and we not going anywhere! So haters this isn't easy. It is time to get this ball rolling. I can't give up now. GOD didn't bring me this far to leave me. So people look forward to seeing more of you accomplish your goals, go through your journies, and I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Keep the faith, and keep GOD first!!! Time for snoring!!! So later OH!!!
P.S. One question everybody that has had the surgery!
What is the best accomplishment you would say you have had since surgery? Look forward to hearing your answers!
Nite Nite and GOD Bless

Dreams Do Come True! All in GOD's Time!!!
Mar 09, 2009
Hi everybody. Well yesterday I found out that we don't have the money for my surgery, so surgery is going to have to wait for now. This post was a little different, but I changed it because it made no sense looking back on it. I have been trying to have Gastric Bypass Surgery for the last 9 or 10 years. This year in February we finally got the ball rolling, but we couldn't come up with the money before my surgery date of March 16, 2009. It really bummed me out because I finally felt like my dream was about to come true. I was thinking to myself.. "Was it finally about to happen?" I got real down about it, but now I know nothing can beat GOD's giving or HIS timing. HE is always on time. I just have to remember that. There are going to be many ups, downs, smiles, and frowns in my life, but GOD is always there for me.. Always in the midst of it all. Everything happens for a reason, and only GOD knows why and for what purpose. I won't question HIM! I trust HIM in every aspect of my life, and I will go and follow HIM wherever and whenever HE wants or tells me to. I fear HIM!!! But I trust HIM!!! 
So my friends, surgery didn't happen in March. We all fall down, but we get back up.. Be encouraged and keep the faith. I know it is all in GOD's time, and if it is in HIS will it shall be done. So never give up on your dreams. Know that dreams do come true, and there is a such thing as miracles. We just have to keep the faith and believe. Once again thanks for being inspiring, sharing your journies, and remember you were always beautiful, big or small, just unhealthy at one time.. Love you all!!!
A Little Worried, Down and Out, and About to Lose My Mind!!!
Mar 08, 2009
Hi everybody. Well I thought it was time I wrote again. I had my psychological evaluation with Mrs. Vicki last Wednesday on March 5, 2009 at 5:00pm. It went great... They ask you alot of crazy questions... Have I ever hurt myself, Do I want to hurt anybody else, Am I compliant?? I know these are all great questions if you want to find out if someone is NUTS!!! But I am not NUTS!!!! lol
I was all smiles the whole time I was in the Doctor's Office. I was thinking to myself: This evaluation better go great for $200.00... And the evaluation didn't even last an hour. I went in a little after 5:00pm and was out of there by 5:45pm. The pyschiatrist made me promise her that I would come back to show her my finished product after I lose the weight I want to lose. I gave her my word...
And my word I shall keep.
Now for the down and out part...and the worrying, and the losing my mind... Well I have a surgery date and my pre-op appointment date... I am a self-pay and what I didn't know is that I have to have the money for the hospital when I go to the pre-op appointment which is scheduled March 12,2009. So that means I have three days to come up with the money...
And I have been talking with GOD everyday and praying my heart and soul out every night about this situation... I didn't put up my surgery date because I was skeptical if I was going to come up with the money or not... So tomorrow I start my countdown... Either I will get the money or I will see my dreams to the beginning of my journey slip away... Either way I will keep you posted. I will not put up a new post until after Thursday, so maybe Friday. Hopefully, I am praying it will be a post with great news to share... Well keep me in your prayers everybody.And you all are in my prayers as well... Until next time stay sweet and GOD BLESS...
Your friend Mimi
Time to go pray and talk to OUR FATHER which art in heaven and then it is time for snoring and drooling... My pillow will be calling me...

Getting There...
Feb 25, 2009
I think it is time for an update.. Well consultation was great, thanks to MY AWESOME GOD UP ABOVE, WHO REIGNS IN HEAVEN..., so now it is time for my psychological evaluation. It is March 5, 2009 at 5:00 pm. I am so ready for it, because that will mean I am one step closer to my surgery. (AND THE BEGINNING OF MY NEW LIFE) 
I have been on a diet since February 18, 2009 and it has been so so so so hard... But I know I can do all things through CHRIST which strengthens me!!! Philippians 4:13
There is one more obstacle that I have to overcome, and I have been praying to MY GOD, OUR LORD about it... Will tell more about the obstacle later, but for now it is something I have to overcome with the help of THE LORD... Will update after my evaluation next week... Until then stay sweet, GOD Bless, and may your journeys be exciting and great!!!

Well..Well..Well...
Feb 18, 2009
Well, a new update.. Well consultation was great.. I was shocked because when I went to the doctor last, I weighed 456. When I got on the scale, I was 436. -20 lbs. lost.. Wow.. And I thought I had gained weight. GOD is so awesome. I was so shocked. I went in there with my mind set on Gastric Bypass Surgery, because I have researched it for the past 8 years, but the Nurse Practioner brought the Gastric Sleeve to my attention. I never researched it, but you all know when I got home I started researching. She told me it was cheaper, but it works just as good as the RNY. I been researching, but what I found was different than what she told me. I read with the Gastric Sleeve it is part of a 2 stage surgery. Gastric Sleeve is Part 1. It helps people to lose about 100 lbs., but then they will have to undergo Gastric Bypass to lose rest of remaining weight that they want to lose. So I am not sure the Gastric Sleeve is for me. I am going to talk to my mom, and we will call the doctor and see what's what.. I need info or advice. So if anybody knows anything more about the Gastric Sleeve or if someone has had the Gastric Sleeve and can share some information please message me. Add me as a friend... Any information will be greatly appreciated. Well I will update with my decision later... Until then stay sweet and GOD BLESS always..Your friend,

Countdown!!!
Feb 18, 2009
Well I decided to leave a new post.. It is 12:19 pm here in sunny southern Louisiana. I have about 2 1/2 hours before my consultation. I am so so so excited. I have been praying that everything goes great. I will leave another update after I come from consultation... Cross your fingers, toes, and eyes everybody. I know mine are crossed, tied, and knotted. I have THE LORD, MY GOD on my side. So Hopefully I will be back later with great news. I am also going to try to get weighed so I can see what my weight is... Hope it isn't more than I think it is... hmmm.. Well later guys.. GOD Bless and have a great Happy Wednesday...
