Well it's been a wonderful changing 20 day's! My life has changed so much in such a short time. If someone would have told me things would be like this I wouldn't have believed them. Don't get me wrong I still have day's I'm very tired, for the most part it's I feel alive again. I'm walking 2.5 miles a day now where I was doing good to make a half mile when I started this. Today was 20 day's and for the first time in four years I was able to put on my black jeans. This afternoon I'm giving away all my stretch pants, I will NEVER need them again. The pounds aren't going any where that's come to a stop but the inches are leaving and I'm so happy for that. Saturday I woke up and said today is the day I'm going to cut my hair after almost 20 years since I cut it last. I gave it to locks of love. I love my new hair it's short but I can do so much with it. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

It's been a short 2 weeks tomorrow since I had my band (Faith). That's what I have named the newest member of my family. Let me tell you all about it. The first  thing was my face my double chin was going down that was on 9-21. Along with the pounds. I went to the dr on 9-22 was down 5 pounds. The night of Kayla's homecoming I was looking for something and seen my rings and thought what the heck I'll try one on and THEY FIT!! I haven't been able to wear them in a year an a half. 2nd on 9-27 someone put an arm rest in my van with out telling me...lol It had always been there and my fat was in the way of my arm using it. 3rd 9-28 I put on a pair of Capri's I have had for 5 years that I just fit into and the leg fits for the first time. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to feel this way!!

Things have been better than wonderful. My computer has not been on the same page as I...lol Not wanting to run like it should. I was able to get into a pair of paint I haven't been able to get on in 16 months....I rock!! I had to have a moment. The down side to that was I didn't realize that it was rubbing where I had been cut and to it tore that open. :( Nothing I can't handle these days. Since surgery I have lost 10 pounds in 8 days . I can't believe how great I feel now that I have done this. Tomorrow I have planned a family day to go to the pumpkin patch with the kids. I'm really looking forward to it. I had got to the point I stayed away from doing stuff like that only cuz I would get so tired so fast. Now it's on!! I vowed I was going to do things different and that's what I'm doing.

Things are going just wonderful. Fall is so in the air, leaves are falling and dancing in the streets and the mums are in full bloom. I'm feeling better and better with each passing day. Todd and I walked a mile last night, we haven't done that since before my surgery last wed. Today we did it again before it got warm outside. I have been thinking of going to the pumpkin patch this weekend with the kids to pick out a couple for the porch. I have a beautiful yellow mum on the porch and it needs a little some to go with it...lol I just can't believe how great I feel so many things I want to do, cause I feel like it for a change. This was the best thing I could have ever done for myself and my family.

I'm doing good so far. I think the worst is over, the port is the spot that's so soar. I haven't yet went down stairs. Seems to pull the port area when I do the stairs coming in to the house. So far I have been sleeping on the couch just so I don't have to do the 14 steps going down stairs. I can't wait till I came sleep in my own bed:)
I have been able to walk each day, so thats a good think. It's driving me nuts not being able to do anything. I haven't had pain meds since yesterday morning so I'm going to drive today. I want to go to walmart just to get out of the house. Hope you all have a wonderful fall day....

I had my surgery on Thursday everything went very well. I got home about 8:30 that night, I slept pretty good setting up on the couch. I can't seem to lay flat yet with lots of pain.  Yesterday I felt very good. I was able to go for a walk, went to coffee with my water, and went to a yard sale on the way home. Now today is a different story I don't feel the best. And all I to do is drink. I'm so thirsty and don't know y this is. I drink every 15 minutes just like we are to but I'm still thirsty. As far as the pain it's just where the port is. I'm just so happy it's done and now I have the new tool to help me with my weight. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers....

Well I'm to have my band tomorrow. Surgery is set for 12 again, check in to be 10am. So we will leave here about 8:30am. I pray to the man above that it happens tomorrow. I think this has been the longest year of my life.....The ups and downs to being minutes from O.R. to being sick. I'm to get to come home tomorrow night so I well check in them....

Yesterday was to have been my surgery:( I was moments from them taking me to the O.R. and I got so sick throwing up I got really pale. So know I have to wait another week to be branded. I swear if it don't happen this time, I'm going to call it quits. I have tryed to have this done for a year and it's one thing or another. Do I look at it as it's a sign that I'm not to have this done or what.... I still don't feel good.
